Error: During use of RMAN utility the following is generated.

RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-03000: recovery manager compiler component initialization failed
RMAN-06001: error parsing job step library
RMAN-01006: error signalled during parse
RMAN-00600: internal error, arguments [8083] [] [] [] []
LFI-00005: Free some memory failed in lfibrdt().
LFI-00004: Call to lfibgl() failed.
[oracle@mylinux1 bin]$

Check: Look at the storage configuration of both the RMAN binaries and location of backups. In this example the storage was OCFS, which can be used for both the backup pieces and the binaries, but not with the tag – datavolume.

/dev/mapper/oracle_home /rac1 ocfs2 _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0

1. Logon to the Oracle server as the root user.

2. Dismount the storage in question.

umount /rac1

3. Mount the storage without the datavolume tag.

mount /dev/mapper/oracle_home /rac1 ocfs2 _netdev,nointr 0 0

4. Update your /etc/fstab file with new entries.

This completes resolution of RMAN error due to use of OCFS storage.
