As the warning says, the recovery area is full. You don't say if this is located on a file system or perhaps in ASM, but a typical solution would be to delete some old archive logs or backup sets. – Roy Dec 19 '12 at 13:09
can you show us the output of SELECT * FROM V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST; and SELECT * FROM V$RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE? SELECT NAME FROM V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST; returns the name of the directory of the recovery file area. Can you show us the size of the disk/filesystem of the fast recovery area (e.g. by df -k fast_recovery_area_directory if it is a unix system)? It also would be useful to show the output of the command SHOW RETENTION POLICY; in rman. – miracle173 Dec 26 '12 at 21:40

+1 but it makes sense to check first which files allocate how much space in the fast recovery area by checking the output of SELECT * FROM V$RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE – miracle173 Dec 26 '12 at 21:28
@miracle173 Good tip. – Leigh Riffel Dec 26 '12 at 21:45
