Re: Do you use RMAN? DB clone problem

Does anyone have any suggestions on DB cloning with RMAN.Netbackup, I keep getting a file not found error:

    RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19507: failed to retrieve sequential file, handle="EML_L0-EML- 455497207-2852-1", parms=""

I'm missing something somewhere???

Origin DB "EML" on dolphin...
Duplicate DB "EMLC" on cobra...

rman

RMAN> connect target sys/xxxx_at_eml
RMAN> connect rcvcat rman/xxxx_at_ds8i
RMAN> connect auxiliary / 

RMAN> "the usual file re-definition & redo log file descriptions"

RMAN> run {
RMAN> allocate auxiliary channel t type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=dolphin.xx.xxx.xxx)' trace=1;

5> duplicate target database to EMLC

RMAN> } RTFM no help
Oracle TAR no help
Sun ticket - completely useless (we get our Veritas support from Sun [ big mistake])

TIA

I use RMAN with veritas Netbackup and it is sweet. Recovery is ridiculously
easy: Even recovering to an alternative host (not as fast as cloning) is a
doddle and u can apply redo logs to the recovery to bring it up to current
time: All in all well worth the learning curve to set up

hmmm, the question of the day, a good one! I don't use it now but plan on
using it. The question is when :)

Hi,

    I'm in the process of upgrading my database to 9i and I was trying to
decide whether I wanted to change my backup strategy to use RMAN. Do most of
you use it? If you use it, what is your opinion of it? If you don't use it,
why did you decide not to?
