hi,

I'm trying to follow the procedure on page 13-21 in the 10.2 Backup and Recovery advanced users guide but i'm running into a problem.

The manual states that the auxiliary instance should be started NOMOUNT, however when I try to connect to the auxiliary instance I receive the following error:

RMAN>

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

RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections

How does rman connect to a host in nomount when the listener is blocking all connections?

Topology:

target is host1 (source)
auxiliary is host2 (destination)
rman is running on host3 (central rman server and houses catalog)

The manual isn't clear where I need to be running the rman commands - the manual implies running rman from the target ("CONNECT TARGET /;") but that seems incorrect. I tried running rman directly from the target but the connect to the auxiliary in nomount still fails with the same error (listener blocking new connections).

Any ideas?

Thanks
