Some of SLAs require we have a standby database on our production
databases.  I am trying to create a standby database for our production OLTP
using OEM.  It fails to recognize the level 0 backup I did last Friday night
with the following error:

RMAN Backup Location - the specified RMAN backup is invalid.  Could not
identify controlfile from the backup.

Although I did not really want to go this route, I tried the option "Perform
an online backup of the primary database".  It worked finr the first few
files then it died.  No errors on the screen or in the logs.  The mount
point for both backups is NFS mounted.

I practiced and documented the steps twice on my sandbox database before
trying it on the production database and I had no issues at all with the
backups or creating the standby using OEM.

Any ideas / suggestions?
