ORA-45102

unable to allocate string bytes of storage

Cause

The Recovery Appliance was unable to allocate additional disk space in the storage location of the database for the current allocation. This condition may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Guaranteed copy was specified for a database

and there were too many backups waiting to be copied to tape.

  • Nothing could be purged within the storage location of the

database.

  • There were no purgeable backup pieces for the database and the

sum of the sizes of the pieces being received by the database exceeds its DISK_RESERVED_SPACE value.

  • The metadata of the Recovery Appliance is being repaired.

Action

Add additional storage to the storage location of the database. Increase the DISK_RESERVED_SPACE value for the database if it had been set too low.
