This is telling you that the particular backup set that contains this datafile is not present. Are you sure you have a complete set of files for this backup? If you are using a catalog, have a look at the view rc_datafile. This should help you find the backup piece it is in.

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 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
