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.

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

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)

Hi,

Need more details,

You can find the logs in the following path and post it here if you are allowed to publish your environment names,

/var/adm/netbackup

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/dbclient

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb

please check the errors from the above mentioned logs and let us know

Full permission requried for the below directories,

dbclient

user_ops

dbext

logs

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.
