Strange problem with RMAN
This looks like a RMAN bug. When I configure channel device type SBT and specify the parameters, RMAN complains about the inability to load the libobk.so. When I use the full version of the channel allocation command, all is well.
The version is 11.2.0.3.5, on Linux x86_64. The same thing works in 10.2.0.5.
