I'm having a slightly weird situation here that I don't fully know how to troubleshoot. We ran a one-off backup to refresh a test environment, transferred the pieces to the test environment, cataloged, all the normal steps. The restore is failing with errors like: RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 04/04/2014 20:54:22 RMAN-12009: command aborted because some backup pieces could not be located RMAN-12008: could not locate backup piece D:\LATESTBACKUP\MHGPMS_FULL_20140404_C5P4S87E_1_1 But listing the backup pieces, RMAN seems to know about it and thinks it is available: Backup Set Copy #1 of backup set 17760 Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time Compressed Tag ----------- ------------ --------------- ---------- --- DISK 00:14:59 04-APR-14 YES MHGPMS_FULL_2014-04-04 List of Backup Pieces for backup set 17760 Copy #1 BP Key Pc# Status Piece Name ------- --- ----------- ---------- 17900 1 AVAILABLE D:\LATESTBACKUP\MHGPMS_FULL_20140404_C5P4S87E_1_1 Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Windows. Any ideas where I should begin looking? Thanks! Stephan Uzzell
