Yes it would help.
After every backup we run 2 scripts, one to delete expired backups and =
the other to restore a controlfile to /tmp to prove the validity of the =
backup.

In this case, wouldn't it also help to delete any "expired" backups?=20

We run into this problem quite a lot.

The issue seems to be that during a RMAN backup it takes an enqueue lock
=3D (seems to be of type CHPT) against the RMAN catalogue.
This is held whilst it searches for obsolete/redundant rows to delete.
As you will be aware there is quite a lot of referential integrity =3D
within the catalogue and some of the full table scans can be quite =3D
intensive on a very large catalogue.
The process then exaggerates as another backup is kicked off from a =3D
different target database.

The end result is the need to kill of the locked processes and restart.
Solutions can be to reduce the number of concurrent rman backups from =
=3D
seperate servers and to increase the number of catalogues in use.
We have a RMAN recovery database with a number of schemas which we back
=3D various versions of Oracle software into and we can also split into =
=3D
schemas for application types  (i.e. rman8i, rmman9i, rmancust etc)

Anybody ever run into a resync catalog while backing up archive logs =3D
causing problems.  It is happening once a week randomly.  What happens
is =3D deadlock on chp table and of course all other Rman stuff is held
up. It seems to =3D be this one small rarely used database. The way we
solve it is to go out =3D and kill the process on unix and everything is
freed up.
I would like to say that the network is burping or something and
disconnecting the process ..but its on the same database all the time.
