Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RMAN Backup on Standby - Create Auxiliary.
Hello.
I'm hoping someone has a solution, or I can talk to someone offline about this. We take RMAN backups of our production site and standby site. I want to be able to use the standby backup to create an auxiliary instance on the standby server. But we use a Tivoli device for our production backups and backup to disk on the standby site. How can I get RMAN to use the standby disk backups to create an auxiliary instance on the standby host server?
According to the RMAN 9i Backup and Recovery book (Oracle Press), I can use a standby backup to restore production. Is there a way to use the standby backup to create an auxiliary instance or is the only use restoring to production? For various reasons I can't use a production backup to create an auxiliary instance.
Thanks,
Jeff
