SYMPTOMS
Backup of datafiles is complete but after it we see a failure showing:
 
 
RMAN-00600: internal error, arguments [string] [string] [string] [string] [string]
Cause: An internal error in recovery manager occurred.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
 
 
 
DBGANY: 612 TEXTNOD = sys.dbms_backup_restore.setRmanStatusRowId(rsid=>0, rsts=>0);
DBGANY: 613 TEXTNOD = end;
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00601: fatal error in recovery manager
RMAN-03004: fatal error during execution of command
RMAN-00600: internal error, arguments [6000] [] [] [] []
 
After the failure the next step on the backup script is not executed, this could be an autobackup or a backup of archives.
 
CAUSE
Taking a closer look at the RMAN output obtained from the backup we see earlier errors:
 
channel dsk1: starting piece 2 at 15-MAY-11
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on dsk2 channel at 05/15/2011 07:29:07
ORA-19504: failed to create file "/<DIR>/<DB_NAME>/<FILE_NAME>"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
channel dsk2 disabled, job failed on it will be run on another channel
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on dsk3 channel at 05/15/2011 07:29:07
ORA-19504: failed to create file "/<DIR>/FILE_NAME"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
channel dsk3 disabled, job failed on it will be run on another channel
 
There could be other errors but in this case the output directory to write backup pieces did not exist on disk for at least one of the channels
 
This causes the channel to be disabled and the job to be executed on another  available channel.
 
Then once the backup is complete the channel fails to be auto-allocated to execute the next backup command
 
The issue has been raised on unpublished Bug:
Bug 6314281: RMAN-600: [6000] [] [] [] [] DOING "BACKUP RECOVERY AREA"
 
Fixed->12.2

}
