RMAN restore in RAC [message #321841]

We are running two nodes in Oracle RAC environment and try to use RMAN to do the restore.

Case 1
First, we try to stop both instance using sqlplus
SQLPLUS>shutdown immediate;

Then, we connect using RMAN
RMAN>connect target sys/manager@abc1
and receive error "listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"

Case 2
We also try to stop one instance in SQLPlus and then use RMAN to connect the other instance. Then, issue shutdown immediate under RMAN. After that, issue startup nomount. It then return "not connected"

Is there anything that I missed ??

Thanks !

Do you have abc1 defined in your listener?

Can you connect to abc1 with SQL*Plus?

I'm thinking you need to add a static entry for abc1 into your listener.ora.

You will also need an instance started in at least a nomount state. RMAN requires a target to connect.

Try this:
host$ export ORACLE_SID=abc1
host$ rman target /
RMAN> startup nomount;

You are already connected with "rman target /" regardless of state of instance.

$ rman target /

Problem is OP is shutting down the database and it is un-registering itself from the listener. They won't be able to register unless they can at least startup nomount.
