David,
Thanks! I don't suppose you have a TAR/Note ID for that do you? Something I can at least say "Well, why doesn't it work for us?"

Yes you can use rman to clone the database or back it up and restore onto the other server – Oracle support told me this when I was having some trouble.
You may get a different answer from them though J

Subject: DataGuard and RMAN
All,
Has anyone seen or heard anything to the effect of being able to use RMAN as a source for establishing a DataGuard site (physical or logical)? All the documentation seems to require a traditional hot/cold backup. While I am sure it is possible to force RMAN into this role, I'm not so sure it is supported (Oracle seems to have a lot of "not supported"s in DataGuard). I haven't seen anything one way or the other on Google or MetaLink or the DataGuard concepts doc. If there is another doc someone can recommend I will be happy to read it.
Thanks,
