RE: RMAN

I think he's talking about ORA-471, which is: SQL> !oerr ora 471
00471, 00000, "DBWR process terminated with error" // *Cause: The database writer process died // *Action: Warm start instance

Which is a catch-all error when PMON dies. Problem is, it doesn't tell you anything. You need to go look at alert.log and trace files, to see what the root cause of the crash was.

Maybe you could elucidate a bit.

For instance, what is a PMON 471?
