Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Error when running RMAN duplicate
Hello,
We're moving our database server platform from Solaris
to AIX.
I'm configuring RMAN to duplicate a 9.2.0.6 database
from a
production server to a remote development server (both
servers on AIX 5L v5.3 64bit AIX, 64bit Oracle).
The RMAN duplicate command is failing on error
ORA-27039 (create file failed, file size limit
reached).
I had this same RMAN script running in cron on Solaris
for the past year, so I know the RMAN syntax is
correct.
I'm using TDP for Oracle to interface RMAN to Tivoli
backup system for backups/restores.
The ORA-27039 error appears to indicate insufficient
AIX privileges in /etc/security/limits for the AIX
user to
create a file, but file size is set to unlimited (-1)
for AIX user running the script.
To test this is not a problem with AIX user file size
limitation, I ran create database using 5GB system
tablespace
without error, then backed up and restored (same
server) with RMAN. For some reason, I can't restore
from production server
to remote test server using RMAN duplicate without
hitting this error.
I also tried setting max piece size to 1GB when
creating backup on the production server, but same
error.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't get this to work in AIX?
Thanks!
Here is the error message received when the RMAN
"duplicate database" command fails:
