Recently I got this error below during the Oracle redo log backup:

Oracle redo log error

My backup job configuration is about a Veeam Linux Agent in an Oracle Linux and the application aware was configured to backup logs with 15 minutes interval and delete logs older than 24 hours:

Application aware configuration

This kind of configuration is very common on critical databases and I have this same configuration in various environments.

So, the first thing I assumed is that the cause of the problem was not on the Veeam side.

Looking on Linux side I discovered that the user used on Guest Processing configuration needs to be part of the oinstall group on OS.

So, the only thing I did was put this user on this group:

usermod -aG oinstall <my_user>

 

 After that, all Oracle redo logs started to being process successfully:

Oracle redo log success

 

Good to bring this to attention again, this point is overseen very often. 😎

Yes, this is a requirement and is listed in the helpcenter. It’s a requirement for the Plugin for RMAN, too, if you want to access the databases with the user you have installed the plugin with.

Interesting fact to know, thank you for sharing @wolff.mateus 

Thanks for sharing that, Mateus.  Interesting to note for those that use this part of Veeam.
