After creating tc-tape device with obtool and mdev command I can use this RMAN script to backup the database.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman TARGET / <<EOF
run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE 'SBT' PARMS 'ENV=(OB_DEVICE=tc-tape)';
BACKUP database;
RELEASE CHANNEL c1;
EXIT
EOF
After creating a default media family I can use this RMAN script
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman TARGET / <<EOF
SHOW ALL;
run {
allocate channel oem_backup_sbt1 type 'SBT_TAPE' format '%U' maxpiecesize 15000 M;
backup incremental level 0 cumulative filesperset = 3 as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' database;
backup filesperset = 3 as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
release channel oem_backup_sbt1;
allocate channel for maintenance type 'SBT_TAPE' parms '';
delete noprompt obsolete device type 'SBT_TAPE';
release channel;
