Bruce - Good thought. However, both are Compaq Tru64, same version.

Dennis,

What OS user does your RMAN run as compared to the OS user that your Oracle instance runs under?

Just a thought,
Bruce Reardon

I have been configuring RMAN to back up to disk on a Compaq Tru64, Oracle 8.1.6.

I have my script running successfully. Then the sys admin configures an NFS-mounted drive on the target system and asks me to write to it instead. When I do, I receive the message:

rMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: backup

RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel d1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19504: failed to create file "/rman/lpi
p/df_t464975695_s3_p1"
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file Compaq Tru64 UNIX Error: 13: Permission denied RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.BACKUPPIECECRE
ATE I recalled that CREATE TABLESPACE is a good criteria of whether RMAN can back up to a disk, so I tried that and was successful. I also at the command line used touch to create the exact file RMAN was unable to. I searched Google and Metalink and found nothing that applied. I feel it has something to do with the NFS setup since I can write to regular disk just fine. Are there any configuration gotchas with NFS? I'm out of ideas. Can anyone give me a hint?
