MAXPIECESIZE与FORMAT参数设置不合理导致RMAN备份失败

如果才RMAN参数中配置了MAXIECESIZE的值为一个给定的具体值时，那么再FORMAT中必须叫上%p的通配符，否则一旦备份片超过设定的上限

今天去客户那里搭建DG，当创建RMAN备份集的时候，遇到了个问题，导致备份集始终无法生成，由于客户的备份集为10G左右，一次备份就要一个多小时，开始浪费了不少时间，诊断后发现，原来问题出在MAXPIECESIZE上，下面自己做了个测试，来说明这个故障现象和解决方法：

根据刚才的配置，正确的生成了RMAN备份集，总大小为190M左右，，其中最大的数据文件的备份集为170M，而在RMAN脚本中配置的

在备份脚本中，配置了format格式为“$ORACLE_SID-%I_%T_%t_%s.db”，以下为脚本具体的语句：

backup as compressed backupset database format '$RMAN_BACKUPSETS/$ORACLE_SID-%I_%T_%t_%s.db' tag 'db_bak' plus archivelog format '$RMAN_BACKUPSETS/$ORACLE_SID-%I_%T_%t_%s.arc' not backed up 1 times delete all input tag 'arc_bak';

当把MAXPIECESIZE的值改小，比之前最大的备份集大小（170M）还要小，比方说改成100M后，再运行之前的备份脚本，然后查看RMAN输出的日志文件，发现报ORA-27038，提示文件已经存在：

[oracle@ora10g backupsets]$ cat ../logs/rman.log |grep ORA-

ORA-19504: failed to create file "/u01/orabackup/backupsets/ora10g-4175411955_20141224_867163196_389.db"

ORA-27038: created file already exists

正常情况下，生成的最大备份集有170M，但是刚才通过修改MAXPIECESIZE参数为100M后，在生成备份集时，一旦备份集大小超过100M时，就会自动生成第2个备份片，而由于我在format中仅仅是配置了“$ORACLE_SID-%I_%T_%t_%s.db”，这几个通配符的含义是：
%I -- DBID
%T -- 日期时间（年月日）
%t -- 自动生成的时间戳
%s -- 备份集序列号（Sequence）

当第一个备份片达到MAXPIECESIZE限定的100M后，想去生成第2个文件，但是由于这几个通配符不足以区分备份集中的备份片（生成了同一个文件名），当第2个备份片创建时提示文件已存在，最终导致备份失败。

解决这个问题的方法有2种：

1. 在format参数中增加%p通配符

当超过MAXPIECESIZE后，只有%p才能够生成不同的备份片，因为%t这个时间戳不足以区分不同的别分片的名称
