RMAN hangs during restore using TSM

Question

Hi all,
I need an advice. My database version is 11.2.0.2.0. TSM Client version is 5.5.2
I'm testing a restore using Tivoli Storage Manager. I'm trying to restore a specific tablespace using RMAN
RMAN> connect target /
connected to target database (not started)
RMAN> run {
2> startup mount;
3> allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
4> restore tablespace 'ECRIXAR';
5> recover tablespace 'ECXIAR';
6> alter datbase open;
7> }
RMAN-06196: Oracle instance started
RMAN-06199: database mounted

RMAN-06009: using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN-08030: allocated channel: t1
RMAN-08500: channel t1: SID=63 device type=SBT_TAPE
RMAN-08526: channel t1: Data Protection for Oracle: version 5.5.2.0
RMAN-03090: Starting restore at 07-MAR-11
RMAN-08016: channel t1: starting datafile backup set restore
RMAN-08089: channel t1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
RMAN-08610: channel t1: restoring datafile 00014 to /dbspace/oradata/CMSDB/ecrixar01.dbf
RMAN-08003: channel t1: reading from backup piece CMSDB_25_20110304.bkp
And on this place RMAN just hangs and nothing happens further...
I tried to search some information and tried to write some trace files during restore like this...
oracle@hostname:/> rman target / trace /home/oracle/log/rman.trc debug
connected to target database (not started)
RMAN> run {
2> startup mount;
3> allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)' trace=2;
4> restore tablespace 'ECRIXAR';
5> recover tablespace 'ECXIAR';
6> alter datbase open;
7> }
But I cannot find any errors in trace files...
What else can i do to check what's happenig?

Answer 1

But I cannot find any errors in trace files...This indicates the problem is not on the RMAN, but on the TSM side. So you have to check the TSM logs, you also can switch on tracing:

And on this place RMAN just hangs and nothing happens further...How long do you wait?
