RMAN backup to remote disk

I am trying to implement RMAN disk backups. I have two servers db1 which is the database server and backup1 which is a media server and holds my recovery catalog. db1 has three 54G mount points; /u01, /u02, /u03. backup1 has one 256G mount point; /b01.

I want to backup to disk, but to backup1:/b01.

My rman script is:

Code:

---

{
  allocate channel d1 type disk;
  setlimit channel d1 kbytes 2097150 maxopenfiles 32 readrate 2000;
  backup full filesperset 6
      format '/b01/rmanback/df_t%t_s%s_p%p'
      database;
  release channel d1;
}

---

I run this script on backup1, expecting the backup to go to backup1:/b01. Instead, I get an error message stating
RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19504: failed to create file '/b01/rmanback/df_t1_s1_p1'

If I NFS mount backup1:/b01 to db1:/b01, then it works.

Any suggestions?

just wondering, is UID in both servers the same?

Yes, I am user "oracle" on both machines.

I mean uid, the number

Sorry, yes, same UID.

hi
Is group id same too :-?

That reminds me of my prev remote backup using rman Q which I couldn't resolve...

Yes. But why is the access denied even after mapping.
What's wrong here?

Have you try restarting the instance after you have mapped the remote drive in NT?

I remember I have read somewhare that Oracle on NT/2000 recognise mapped drives only if they have allready been mapped at the time when the instance starts. I can't remember if it was regarding UTL_FILE destinations on mapped drives or something else, but you could give it a shoot.

Jurij,
I'll give it a shot.
