Solutions:

 The Error "Failed to load Media Management Library" occurs when library file "libobk.so" is not linked with your backup vendor supplied RMAN library. This error is very common RMAN error and many reson behind this.

In my case, Backup vendor suppled RMAN library file was not linked with "libobk.so" file.

executed below link command.

ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64.1 libobk.so

Verified the link and was able to run RMAN tape backups.
