Oracle Online backup -ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file
Our master server is linux (v 8), however this issue is occurring with an Online oracle backup of a Windows server. The Policy shows as Oracle. Up until a couple days ago, it has never had any problems. The Backup schedule is failing with: "6) the backup failed to back up the requested files" The on_database_ schedule is failing with: "Apr 3, 2018 2:44:12 AM - Info bpbrm (pid=21239) INF - Client read timeout = 18000
Apr 3, 2018 7:44:12 AM - Error bpbrm (pid=21239) listen for client timeout during accept from data listen socket after 60 seconds
Apr 3, 2018 7:44:40 AM - Info dbclient (pid=0) done. status: 54: timed out connecting to client"
An Oracle DBA checked it from her side and this is the error she sees:
"RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 04/04/2018 03:08:29
ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="_20180404_25316.p1_s26287.r", parms=""
ORA-27028: skgfqcre: sbtbackup returned error
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
VxBSACreateObject: Failed with error:

RMAN>"
Any ideas? As state above, this backup has been "good" for years.
Looks like oracle host did not respond to a network connection in time
listen for client timeout during accept from data listen socket after 60 seconds
its like a phone call where no one is answering. Verify connectivity with bptestbpcd as Marainne pointed out and re-try the operation.
