RMAN Backup Gives RMAN-06091: No Channel Allocated for Maintenance

RMAN Backup Gives RMAN-06091: No Channel Allocated for MaintenanceI really don’t want to turn this blog into an accumulation of issues and flaws. But as I explained many times before, the blog for me is also a way to dump information I likely will need the sooner or later again.

Recently I blogged about another RMAN issue in Oracle 12.2.0.1 with traces. This was fixed with the July 2018 RU for Oracle 12.2.0.1. But the issue below about which Piero Ferraz from Brazil alerted me (thanks!!!), happens in exactly this RU.

RMAN Catalog Upgrade to Oracle 12.1.0.2

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Flaws and Pitfalls RMAN 15

It sounds so simple – but in this specific case a bit of doc reading is required as upgrading the RMAN catalog to handle Oracle 12.1.0.2 databases is not as trivial as in the past.

Thanks to a German customer and a friendly colleague from Sales Consulting in Stuttgart I have learned my RMAN lesson for Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 this week.
