Scott,
Since applying the July 2018 CPU, we have received the RMAN-06091 error when attempting to delete obsolete backups when there is a mix of obsolete backups of both DISK and SBT_TAPE device types. All is well if we have obsolete backups of only one device type, DISK or SBT_TAPE.
We had hoped for a fix in the Oct 2018 or Jan 2019 CPU. However, it appears that may not happen. Per MOS Doc ID 2428682.1, and info received when a colleague opened an SR on the issue, the current patches do not resolve the issue in all cases. Therefore, we plan to explicitly allocate the maintenance channels for the DISK and SBT_TAPE device types in the "delete obsolete" run block of our backup script. That is the recommended solution we received from Oracle Support. We hope to have that implemented this week. I can update you if you are interested.
Mike

I just installed the Oct. PSU in my Oracle 12.1.0.2 Oracle Home. The next RMAN hot backup failed with the same issue that occurred with the July PSU, which we backed out and didn’t apply. There was supposed to be a fix for this, which I assumed would be included with the Oct. PSU.
Because of this issue, we didn’t apply the July PSU, but our internal security office is insisting we have to apply this one. If we do, we won’t be able to back up any of our production databases, as they are all hot backups.
I have opened an SR with Oracle, but was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and, if so, did you get a patch from Oracle to fix it? I’ve been looking for a patch online and on Oracle’s site all afternoon, with no success.
The error is:
