Let me start with the syntax;

---

THIS FAILS:

---

1.)---rman_shell_script_BACKUP.sh
...

RMAN>
...

     copy current controlfile to '/nfsdir/controlfile.ctl.bkp';

2.)---rman_shell_script_RESTORE.sh
...

RMAN>
...

run {allocate channel c1 type disk;
replicate controlfile from '/nfsdir/controlfile.ctl.bkp'; release channel c1; }

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03009: failure of replicate command on c1 channel at 10/07/2005 13:06:36 ORA-19563: controlfile header validation failed for file /nfsdir/controlfile.ctl.bkp

---

THIS WORKS:

---

1.)---rman_shell_script_BACKUP.sh
rman_shell_script_BACKUP.sh
...

RMAN>
...

     copy current controlfile to '/home/oracle/controlfile.ctl.bkp';
...

$> cp /home/oracle/controlfile.ctl.bkp /nfsdir/ >> $log_file 2>&1

2.)---rman_shell_script_RESTORE.sh
...

RMAN>
...

run {allocate channel c1 type disk;
replicate controlfile from '/nfsdir/controlfile.ctl.bkp'; release channel c1; }

So when I RMAN backup use "copy current controlfile..." to the local dir then cp it to the nfsdir its valid! But when I use "copy current controlfile..." to DIRECTLY to the nsfdir its corrupt (on restore or "replicate").

!!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!! I backed up datafiles DIRECTLY to the nsfdir and restore them...they are NOT corrupt also...they restored just fine.

Any ideas, help?
