We have recently installed and configured smo. We are able to create snapshots just fine using profiles that we create with "Do not use Rman" option. If I try to create a profile with "Use rman via recovery catalog" option, the profile creation fails. Similarly, if I choose the option "Use Rman via controlfile" the snapshot creation fails as well. Also, if we use dbverify through smo, the verify fails as well.
We are using SMO 3.0.1 on Solaris 10.
The following messages comes from SDU doing this:

The above error messages are misleading as I can't even save a profile using the RMAN catalog? I would think that would have nothing to do with the filer.
Also, why do regular backups (non RMAN) work just fine? Wouldn’t it be running into the same issue (filer being full)?
Please let me know if anyone else has faced a similar problem with creating profiles using rman or that smo does not work with any oracle tool that it is suppose to?
