RMAN Job Exits with Agent Error

Symptom

My RMAN job exited and I got an error saying that the agent has not been started. How do I correct this?

Solution

If the job stays inactive in the Arcserve Backup job queue for more than the number of minutes specified by the SBT_TIMEOUT parameter in sbt.cfg (because the tapes are not available, for instance), then RMAN will time out. Increase the SBT_TIMEOUT to accommodate your environment.
