Ian,

This is a problem I run into a great deal. Before you backup issue this
command (I assume 9i here and pre-configured defaults so no allocate channel
commands):

crosscheck archivelog all;
backup database archivelog all;

The crosscheck command will compare the archivelogs currently on disk to
those in the control file. Any missing will be marked expired. If you were
to restore them you can run the crosscheck command to remark them as
available.

/*+ Cheap_Plug(this is in my RMAN book by the way... :-) ) */

HTH,

RF

Ian,
You can try resyncing the catalog and if that still doesn't work try to
uncatalog that log:
rman> change archivelog '/full_path/log_name_8192.arc' uncatalog;'

> A few days ago the physicists turned on what they call the waveform
channels.  The  channel archive database tracking this information was
able
to withstand the additional 2,000,000 rows per hour load for 20 + hours.
Then the 257 errors hit.  As  we are migrating from a very old ADSM
system
to TSM with a better SILO, this database seemed a good choice.  The old
backup system is still handling a score of databases without using RMAN.
I
was also able to procure an additional 18 GB internal disk  on which to
place the archived redo logs.  I shutdown the channel archive database
(9.0.1.3) changed the destination parameter for archive logs to point to
the
new location, then did  an alter system switch logfile.  I then logged
into
the RMAN catalog and registered the database for the first time.

get
even the read only ones, and then a backup of the read write
tablespaces.  I
didn't include archive logs in these backups.  I have asked the
physicists
to hold off on their 2,000,000 rows per hour data which they can do for
a
while.  They had some other waveform data which created slightly over
7,000,000 records per day.  I placed the archive log backup as written
above
into a different cron job.  Currently invoked hourly, than the one for
the
database backup invoked daily.
