Hello Anup,
Thanks for the details. I could not figure much from the details.
Also, the scdump did not provide much clues.
Are you reusing a config file from an earlier version of SC?
If so, could you please try recreating the config file from scratch.
Any reason, why you are using 3.6p1
We have released 4.0 and 4.1 and late last week 4.1P1 versions.
I would recommend using 4.1p1 if that is a possibility.
Do these manual commands work and complete properly?
alter database end backup;
alter system archive log current;
alter database backup controlfile to trace as 'xyz_trace' reuse;
Meanwhile, if you want me to review this over a webex, please feel free to email me to sivar at netapp.com with your availability.
Thanks,
Siva Ramanathan
