删除过期备份时报no channel allocated for maintenance(of an appropriate type)

问题描述：AIX 平台Oracle 10G,今天发现数据库归档空间满了，就通过crosscheck 后，执行delete force obsolete时报no channel allocated for maintenance(of an appropriate type) 错误，

原因分析：经过查询可能是因为在之前的备份过程中采用了不同设备类型备份导致不能正常删除过期的备份

解决方案：

先摘录一段对CROSSCHECK的描述

当archivelog或是backup被手工删除后，需要运行crosscheck.该命令确保recovery catalog或是控制文件中记录的数据与硬盘上的文件一致。

对于找不到的文件，CROSSCHECK会把它的状态标为EXPIRED.然后，你运行DELETE EXPIRED命令就可以把rman repository中的相关记录和硬盘上的文件删除。

如果有些文件被错误地标为EXPIRED,那么在确认文件存在时，再次运行CROSSCHECK BACKUP可以将这些文件重置为AVAILABLE状态。

也就是说，对于硬盘上已经不存在的文件，用DELETE EXPIRED在RMAN中删除相关记录。对于已经超过retention policy的备份，用DELETE OBSOLETE从硬盘和磁带设备上删除,并从RMAN中把记录删除。

在执行完

Crosscheck backup;

Crossscheck backuppiece;

Crosscheck archivelog all;

Delete obsolete;报RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type)

研究了一下，之前的备份一部分是直接备份在硬盘上,另一部分是通过DP备份在磁带上的。出现这样的错误是因为有磁带上的数据，但是未申请磁带类型的channel造成的。

RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance type disk;

allocated channel: ORA_MAINT_DISK_6

channel ORA_MAINT_DISK_6: sid=137 devtype=DISK

RMAN> delete expired archivelog all;

specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog

这个应该是正常的，没有发现expired log.

RMAN> delete obsolete;

RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command

RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1

这里出错了

解决的办法是分别删除硬盘上与磁带上的过期备份数据。

RMAN>delete obsolete device type disk;--指定设备类型，这样就可以删除指定的设备中的数据

删除硬盘上的过期备份

这回成功了

RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=gz,OB2BARLIST=swt-oracle-full)';

这里PARMS后面的参数与备份时RMAN脚本中的参数相同

allocated channel: ORA_MAINT_SBT_TAPE_7

channel ORA_MAINT_SBT_TAPE_7: sid=136 devtype=SBT_TAPE

channel ORA_MAINT_SBT_TAPE_7: Data Protector A.06.11/243
