Tape library

Hi,
When I am starting ORACLE backup on my server through RMAN it's giving me error "received abort request from BSM (ERR: Error starting backup/restore (BMA can not be started or similar)

Cheers

Check your device configuration. This can be caused, when you manually change the
backup device in the files /etc/opt/omni/barlists/oracle8/*. Change the
backup device using the GUI and save the barlist again.
