Have a TDP 5.4.1.0 running on AIX. The RMAN script does a backup of the database, backup of the logs and then a DELETE OBSOLETE. From the output you see the channel allocating fine and the delete starts working until.BANG.ANS1033E Invalid TCP/IP Host. From the TSM server actlog I can see multiple sessions start/stop for this delete obsolete. It looks like RMAN opens/closes a session for each backup piece. So it's going along just fine and then failing with a DNS lookup failure?? Any ideas?
