problem creating recovery catalog

[panjub_raj]

I am creating the recovery catalog but I am having some problems. Below is what I have done so far and the error message that I got.

SVRMGR> create tablespace CATALOG
2> datafile '/ora1/o2/DATA1/cat1rcat.dbf'
3> size 1000m;
Statement processed.
SVRMGR> create user rman identified by rman
2> temporary tablespace temp
3> default tablespace CATALOG quota unlimited on CATALOG;
Statement processed.
SVRMGR> grant recovery_catalog_owner to rman;
Statement processed.

machine oracle DATA1 /ora1/08/dbse
$ export ORACLE_SID=RCAT

machine oracle RCAT /ora1/08/dbse
$ rman catalog rman/rman

Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04004: error from recovery catalog database: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

MY O/S is AIX
Oracle version 8.1.5.0.0
I have 2 databases (DATA1,DATA2)

Any help?

Thanks,
Raj

Your catalog database would be the one where you have created the rman user. That would be either DATA1 or DATA2 not RCAT.

export ORACLE_SID= ?

sqlplus sys/passwd@your-catalog instance <-- where you have created the user rman

SQL> grant connect, resource to rman;
SQL> exit

rman catalog rman/rman
RMAN> create catalog tablespace catalog;
RMAN> connect target sys/passwd@targetdb
RMAN> register database;
RMAN> exit
