Babu,

You need to copy your backup files to HOST_B. If your file systems are different thant HOST_A, create symbolic links for the directories where rman expects to find the backups.

>>> jbdonga_at_ucdavis.edu 09/05/02 08:13PM >>> Dear List,

Iam following the procedure to restore database from RMAN backup from HOST_A to HOST_B with a recovery catalog.

I copied the init.ora file to HOST_B
on HOST_B, I made an entry in oratab for 'rtest' database and switch to 'rtest' database using . oraenv
issued: rman target / catalog rman/rman@<Connect String>
startup nomount;
run { allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'; restore controlfile; }

It generates the following error. "list backup of controlfile" is showing up the backup entries.

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: restore
RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: IRESTORE

RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel ch1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19507: failed to retrieve sequential file, handle="nre1u1kk_1_1", parms="" ORA-27029: skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error ORA-19511: sbtrestore: Backup file not found. RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.RESTOREBACKUPPIECE Could someone help me in resolving the issue.

Thanks,
