RMAN memory issue 2006-07-17 - By John P Weatherman
All, I am trying to get RMAN configured to handle one of my older databases. The target is 8.1.7.4, the repository database 9.2.0.7. I have created an 8.1.7 repository from the target server and registered the target database. So far, no problems. When I try to allocate channels, I am getting ORA-4031 (See ORA-4031.ora-code.com ) errors (see below). This happens for both maintenance channels and regular backup channels declared in a run{} block. -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --- RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance type disk; RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: allocate RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel delete RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554 (See ORA-19554.ora-code.com ): error allocating device, device type: DISK, device name: ORA-04031 (See ORA-04031.ora-code.com ): unable to allocate 1065004 bytes of shared memory ("large pool","unknown object","large pool hea","KSFQ Buffers") RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 (See ORA-19624.ora-code.com ) occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --- The catalog database should have plenty of room: NAME TYPE VALUE -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --- -- ---- --- -- ---- ---- ---- ----- large_pool_size big integer 33554432 shared_pool_reserved_size big integer 26843545 shared_pool_size big integer 536870912 as should the target (though the errors says it is coming from the RPC, so this shouldn't be the issue): NAME TYPE VALUE -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --- -- ---- --- -- ---- ---- ---- ----- large_pool_size string 1572792 shared_pool_reserved_size string 2000000 shared_pool_size string 20000000 Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestions?
