try it with a soft link /prod -> /dup -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [ mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tricia McKellar Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 4:39 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: rman duplicate fails to identify file Hello, I'm having trouble duplicating a db to another host with a different path structure (oracle 9.2.0.6 on solaris). I'm able to connect to both db's and the file rename parameters in the initDUP.ora seem to be working--rman seems to know to rename /prod/oradata/vsid/ifs_lobs01.dbf TO /dup/oradata/vsid5/ifs_lobs01.dbf but rman seems to get stuck on the backup pieces. The backup files do exist. I've been rman'ing to disk only (not tape). I've tried copying the backup pieces to the dup host, but it still gets stuck. Ideas? ### ... restoring datafile 00034 to /dup/oradata/vsid5/ifs_lobs13.dbf restoring datafile 00035 to /dup/oradata/vsid5/ifs_lobs14.dbf RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 04/04/2005 13:35:00 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script ORA-19505: failed to identify file "/prod/backup/vsid/1fggopji_1_1" ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3 ### Thanks, Tricia -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l For technical support please email tech_support@xxxxxxxxxxx or you can call (972)721-8257.
