Help me please with RMAN

[kgb]

Hello, could you help me please :-)
We have Suse 7.0 & 8.1.7. I have no recovary catalog yet. The problem is next: I can't start RMAN, every time
I get error message : rman: can't open target

> rman target / rman/rman
> rman target sys/manager nocatalog
> rman target / nocatalog

rman: can't open target

But if I type just 'rman' it doesn't start anywhere.
The basic environment for oracle is:

ORACLE_SID=TUTTIUTF
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib
LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1
ORACLE_BASE=/usr/local/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.7
PATH=/usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin:/home/oracle/bin
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

PLEASE, HELP ME!

on the target DB server:

export ORACLE_SID=
rman target / catalog rman/rman@

[kgb]

I did that but the same error:

oracle@mci:~ > export ORACLE_SID=TUTTIUTF
oracle@mci:~ > rman target / catalog rman/rman
rman: can't open target

Be sure the tnsnames.ora is set for the target DB on the rman server.

Also check that you can sql*plus to the machine before trying RMAN. Resolve that first.

Is Rman that you are executing on the same box as the target?
