    Rman error when duplicating a database with Rman

    DBAs,

    I was trying to duplicate a database locally using Rman.
    I started the auxiliary database with nomount from sql*plus.
    But when I tried to allocate the auxiliary channel.
    I got the following error:
    (The weird thing is that I can correctly connect to the aux database as shown in the following.)

    MAN> CONNECT AUXILIARY sys/lily@ODLILY

    connected to auxiliary database (not started)

    RMAN> RUN {
    2>
    3> ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;}

    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-03002: failure of allocate command at 11/02/2005 11:24:40
    RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session
    RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2: No such file or directory


    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Cool


    Maybe you are not following the correct instructions in the manual!

    Your auxilary database should be started in nomount mode.

    connected to auxiliary database (not started)

    Thanks for the input.

    I made sure that I startup the aux database with nomount mode.

    SQL> select INSTANCE_NAME ,STARTUP_TIME,DATABASE_STATUS from v$instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME STARTUP_T DATABASE_STATUS

    So, did it help your problem or was it already in nomount stage at the time youll got the error?

    Thanks,

    I solved this problem. But without knowing why.

    Originally, I did like this:
    export ORACLE_SID=ODLILY( the aux database)
    and then log into rman.
    rman> CONNECT AUXILIARY sys/lily@ODLILY
    got the error.

    Then, I changed to:
    rman> CONNECT AUXILIARY sys/lily
    (without the @ODLILY)
    It worked.

    Your tnsnames.or has an entry pointing to the location where database was not running. When you removed @ you picked up local database .
