Re: RMAN restore database preview vs actual restore

Output of
Report backup summary

Have you tried doing a crosscheck backup? May need to allocate 2 channels for maintenance.

Allocate channel for maintenance device type sbt; Allocate channel for maintenance device type disk;

Then give us report backup summary again. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I'm testing a D/R situation, specifically a Netbackup redirected client restore, source being a 10.2.0.4 RAC two-node instance; restoring to a single-instance.

After restoring the spfile, restarting the instance, restoring the control file, and startup mount; I issue a "restore database preview" to validate that I have
all backupsets necessary to perform an incomplete recovery.

RMAN correctly lists all backupsets for the last complete backup, 580 through 584.

However, when I attempt to actually perform the recovery, RMAN starts at backupset 574, which is no longer available. So my general question would be, why
would there be a discrepancy? 580-584 is the last complete backup and is available, why would RMAN try and go to an earlier backup, contrary to the
results of the preview?

Thanks,
Jeff
