it looks like you are using CommVault simpana as the media manager. Have you checked the CommVault logs on the database server? It may be that the channel configuration needs adjustment?

I’ve tried to specify the incarnation:  

run {

allocate auxiliary channel notarget1 device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/simpana/Base/libobk.so,

ENV=(CvClientName=vmora00a6,CvSrcClientName=advcdevl2,CvInstanceName=Instance001),

BLKSIZE=1048576'; allocate auxiliary channel notarget2 device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/simpana/Base/libobk.so,

ENV=(CvClientName=vmora00a6,CvSrcClientName=advcdevl2,CvInstanceName=Instance001),

BLKSIZE=1048576'; set dbid= 2710053647;

set until time = "TO_DATE(' 08/11/2015 01:20:49','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" ;

duplicate database 'ADVCDEVL' incarnation 5388219 to 'LNXRTEST' noredo;

release channel notarget1;

release channel notarget2;

}  

And the result was:

RMAN recovery assumes restore/recovery operations to fall within the current incarnation branch. If your time/scn/sequence# falls into a different branch, you need to tell rman so via ‘reset database to incarnation …’ then perform your operation.  

Please retry and confirm.  

Thank You

Subject: RMAN Question    

We are relatively new to using RMAN here. I have a scenario that I just can’t figure out how to get around. The background is this:  

  • I refreshed a development database (in noarchivelog mode) from a production database (in archivelog mode)
  • As part of the refresh, an RMAN “register database” was done
  • Later in the day, I got a request to pull 2 tables from the backup of the original development database
  • I tried to “refresh” the development database backup (from prior to the most recent “register database”) to another test database

Here are the incarnations of the database I’m trying to get a copy of:  

RMAN> list incarnation of database ADVCDEVL;    

List of Database Incarnations

DB Key Inc Key DB Name DB ID STATUS Reset SCN Reset Time

  • ------- -------- ---------------- --- ---------- ----------

run {

allocate auxiliary channel notarget1 device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/simpana/Base/libobk.so,

ENV=(CvClientName=vmora00a6,CvSrcClientName=advcdevl2,CvInstanceName=Instance001),

BLKSIZE=1048576'; allocate auxiliary channel notarget2 device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/simpana/Base/libobk.so,

ENV=(CvClientName=vmora00a6,CvSrcClientName=advcdevl2,CvInstanceName=Instance001),

BLKSIZE=1048576'; set until time = "TO_DATE(' 08/11/2015 01:00:03','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" ;

duplicate database 'ADVCDEVL' to 'LNXRTEST' noredo;

release channel notarget1;

release channel notarget2;

}  

For the TO_DATE, I’ve tried both the beginning and the ending times of the backup (this is the beginning time) and I get the same results:
