Cause

RMAN gives warning message of RMAN-6900, RMAN-6901 when the output is too big to log in the v$rman_output view.

Solution

Restart the database instance. After instance reboot v$rman_output will be cleared.

V$RMAN_OUTPUT displays messages/output returned by RMAN. This is an in-memory view and is not recorded in the control file.
