Running RMAN backup to Tape or local disk can primarily fail with error:

ORA-17619: max number of processes using I/O slaves in a instance reached
ORA-17619: max number of processes using I/O slaves in a instance reached
and sometimes accompanied with error:
ORA-27192: skgfcls: sbtclose2 returned error - failed to close file
The error conveys that RMAN was unable to allocate more channels, to perform backup.
However there is enough CPU resource in the server to allocate channel and there are no other backups running.
