Rman restore

[ppass]

hi all ,

i have a qustion concerning the restore of the hotbackup that has been taken by rman .

my enviroment consists of :

1- live sun server containing live dtabase .rmanuser=rmanlive
2- test sun server containing an image of the live database rmanuser=rmantest.
3- sun server "veritas netbackup " used as a backupserver for the live database .

both the live and the test servers has users on the rrman catalog .

my question is :

can i resotore the hot bakup that is taken on the live machine to the test machine and how ???


I was thinking of this senaio :

on the test machine caonnect to the target database "test database " and then connecct to the recovery catalog using the rmanlive user and then do a restore ....

i havent treid anything yet ....

i really appreciate your prompt response

thank you all in advance

cheers

yes, just do a restore as if you were on the live server.

Just make sure you have the same disk layout or specify the correct commands to rename the files

my concern was affecting the live system or over writing things there ,

[davey23uk]

nope, just make sure you actually are on the right server when you do it
