RE: RMAN - problems restoring to clone server

Gary,

  Why are you trying to create the RMAN schema? You could be connecting to the RMAN database that was used for making the backup. To clone a database, your target should be your production db, your catalog should be the RMAN catalog that was used for the backup, your clone should be auxiliary. e.g.: rman uname/password_at_prod target uname/password_at_rmandb auxiliary / (assuming that your environment is set for the auxiliary database - SID, ORACLE_HOME, etc.).   I only use RMAN for backing up to disk, so I can' t help with the MML portion (media management layer).

Can you please clarify what you mean by "linking the MML to Oracle"? I am unable to create the RMAN schema,table,and views on the 'to-be-clone' database yet since it is just a non-mounted instance at this point in time.

I assumed I would connect to rman as a rcvcat on the server with the dbcat database and the legato tape device. Then connect as the target to the to-be-clone non-mounted instance. Is this correct?

Then in the restore rman script I use:
NSR_SERVER as the tape device/dbcat server NSR_CLIENT as the to-be-clone target server

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance!
