Hi,

We have just upgraded to a new server by creating the databases first then using export/import. This included moving the recovery catalog database, we installed RMAN on the new server then did export/import of the schema (not sure if that was required now).

Anyway, Monday nights backup worked fine using HP Omniback II and RMAN but last nights backup had the following error:
/*

RMAN-08013: channel dev_0: piece 1 created

*/

is this because we did export/import of the recovery catalog and as the db is a new one it will try and use the same keys?? Can you please shed some light as I'm still getting to grips with Rman... what options do we have??

thanks in advance..

I read it a couple of times..I'm still not sure what you mean. Are you saying you installed a newer version of a database (using dbca or whatever) and did a exp/imp from old target to new target? What did you do on the catalog? The post is kinda confusing..explain what you did again.
