    Logs folders need to have 777 permissions.
    Folders must be writable by oracle user running the backup.

    Please also check permissions on the script and the folder where the script was created:
    /usr/openv/local/oracle/test_db.sh

    If rman needs to produce '.out' file in /usr/openv/local/oracle folder, the oracle user needs to have write permission in this folder.

    Please show us the script? (test_db.sh)

    Commad: chmod 777 <directory_name>, if the above mentioned folders are not at full permission and it can be checked by passing the command "ls -ltr" in the respective path.

    maybe wrong rights at the /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops or at /usr/openv/local/oracle/

    both directories  have to be writable by root.
