While we do not have CommVault in our environment, we recently had an error
like you described:
ORA-00245: control file backup failed; in Oracle RAC, target might not be on
shared storage
Can you check to make sure your RMAN config for SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME is on
shared storage?
While your controlfiles themselves may be shared, the snapshot comes into play
with this error as well.

One of the first things I checked was to ensure there were no issues on the
oracle side of things. There are no problems running a backup outside of CV.
Thank you for your response.

Hello Sandy
I am not well versed in RAC and ASM technologies but having worked with CV for
some time, troubleshooting efforts usually involve replicating what CV is doing
outside of CV. If your environment allows, to run the RMAN script outside of
CV, it would rule out if there is an issue with CV or Oracle.
Hope this helps.

Oracle 12c (Exadata)
CommVault 11
Let me start with CommVault is new at our shop. I have been waiting for a
couple of hours for my CV admins to get back to me and thought I would see if
anyone on the list had a clue what is going on.
Over the past month I have been setting up clients and testing/scheduling
backups in CV for several dev/test and production databases. All was working
well (mostly) until today. My backups are failing with the following error:
Error Code: [18:106] Description: RMAN Script execution failed with error
[RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 09/26/2016]. Please check the Logs
for more details. Source: <machine_name>, Process: ClOraAgent
<<
I looked at the RMAN log and it had a line about the controlfile may not be
on shared storage. These are 2-node RAC systems and I verified the
controlfile is indeed on ASM and visible to instances on both nodes. The one
response I got from one of the CV admins indicated he thought it was an
oracle error, which I told him it wasn't. He has decided he needs to open a
ticket with CV support. This is not the first time we've had this error,
although it is the first on these databases. I go through the same process
every time telling them it isn't an oracle error.
Any ideas what caused this error? I've got an 18T database I need to get
backed up as soon as possible, but the admins don't seem to have a clue what
to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
