Hi All, I took a rman controlfile backup from 9i primary db ( host a) and all the db files backup from the standby db ( host b) and now I am trying to restore the db into a different host (host C). I have copied all the backup set from standby and primary db to the host C . After setting the dbid I am able to restore the controlfile from the rman controlfile backup and mount the db. but when I try to restore the database it says that it is not able to find the backup/datafile . So my problem is how do I let RMAN know the backupset location in the host C. Is there anything like Catalog start with or any otherway to let RMAN know where to restore from. I will appreciate any suggestions or inputs . TIA -PK
