进行rman备份时出现ora-19571错误，导致备份任务终止，具体错误如下：
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 07/10/2015 16:18:43
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 07/10/2015 16:18:24
ORA-19571: archived-log recid 85421 stamp 650564644 not found in control file
错误提示很明显，是因为在控制文件中没有找到某个归档文件记录，导致备份失败，看上去像是控制文件记录被覆盖了。控制文件中的记录分为两类， 一类是循环使用的记录，当记录的solt满时，会覆盖老的记录，记录的保存时间由参数control_file_record_keep_time控制。所以这里首先检查这个参数的设置。
SQL> show parameter control_file
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
control_file_record_keep_time integer 15
参数配置为15天，接下来再检查报错中的归档日志的生成时间
SQL> select recid,SEQUENCE#,ARCHIVED,STATUS,COMPLETION_TIME from v$archived_log where recid = 125609;
RECID SEQUENCE# ARC S COMPLETION_TIME
---------- ---------- --- - -------------------
125609 885421 YES A 2015-07-08 02:05:59
从上面的信息看，归档上两天前生成的，该记录在控制文件中不应该过期。为保证备份任务及时完成，不影响下一天的正常业务，首先手动将归档信息注册到控制文件。
RMAN>catalog start with '/arch1/';
使用上面的命令注册时，在其中一个节点上提示没有发现可注册的文件，使用下面的命令分别对每个归档文件进行注册
run{
catalog archivelog '/arch1/xxx_1_47849_801075830.dbf';
catalog archivelog '/arch1/xxx_1_47850_801075830.dbf';
...省略部分
catalog archivelog '/arch1/xxx_1_47854_801075830.dbf';
catalog archivelog '/arch1/xxx_1_47855_801075830.dbf';
}
手动注册后备份成功，但为什么归档信息没有正确的保留在控制文件中，接下来做进一步分析。
首先检查数据库的alert日志，发现在备份任务失败前出现如下警告：

Expanded controlfile section 28 from 564 to 1128 records
Requested to grow by 564 records; added 3 blocks of records
这个警告信息是在AIX平台下，，没有将数据库文件放置在零偏移的raw logical volumes设备上，下面对这个错误进行验证：
xxx1>dbfsize /dev/rlvims_control1
Database file: /dev/rlvims_control1
Database file type: raw device
Database file size: 1866 16384 byte blocks
xxx1>dbfsize /dev/rlvims_control2
Database file: /dev/rlvims_control2
Database file type: raw device
Database file size: 1866 16384 byte blocks
xxx1>dbfsize /dev/rlvims_control3
Database file: /dev/rlvims_control3
Database file type: raw device
Database file size: 1866 16384 byte blocks
发现控制文件所在的设备的确存在偏移，如果没有偏移，会提示Database file type: raw device without 4K starting offset。在AIX中，不同的vg类型决定了不同的lv结构，original valume group在数据落地的时候会产生4k的偏移量，逻辑卷前 4k 用于存储 control block (LVCB)，big volume group在创建裸设备时可以指定参数消除偏移，scalable volume group不会产生偏移，所以，在支持scalable volume group的系统中，一定要建立scalable volume group。
下面对卷组的类型进行确认：
