auto backup and spfile restoreMy guess is that there is a path defined in
your init.ora that isn't correct. Check your alert log for more information.

Subject: auto backup and spfile restore
List,
We are in the process of testing every recovery scenario we can think of using rman. We don't use a catalog and controlfile autobackup is on which implies the spfile is automatically backed up.
So one of the scenarios was to delete the spfile and pfile. To recover I thought we would be able to....
(database already shutdown)
rman
rman>set DBID=1370501721 ---i tried switch this with the command
immediate following
rman>connect target /
rman>startup force nomount; ---from what I read in the documentation this
should force oracle to use a 'dummy' spfile.
rman>restore spfile from autobackup;
i realize there are several other ways to handle this situation but why
can't i start the database in this way?
the error i get is:
RMAN> startup force nomount;
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: ===========================================================RMAN-03002: failure of startup command at 01/24/2003 13:37:39 RMAN-04014: startup failed: ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3
what gives?
