2nd try - HP Data Protector, RMAN and clone across hosts

Hi,

We have recently moved our RMAN hot backups to Data Protector. The hot backups are working successfully. Restoring works fine. Cloning a database from one instance to another -- on the same host -- works fine. I'm using an RMAN script with the appropriate Data Protector parameters (parms='') to do the clone.

However, when I attempt to clone from one instance to another on DIFFERENT HOSTS, it failes. I've been working with both Oracle support and HP support, with no success yet. Clones are pretty common, so someone must know how to do a clone across hosts with DP in the middle!

Here is the error I get when I try the clone:

Here is the RMAN script that I'm using:

connect rcvcat 'mcwrman/pwd_at_RCAT'
connect target 'sys/pwd_at_MATRIX'
connect auxiliary 'sys/pwd_at_PCH5'

run {
set until logseq=56829 thread=1;
allocate auxiliary channel dev_0 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=MATRIX,OB2BARHOSTNAME=pdb.is.mcw.edu,OB2BARLIST=MATRIX-hot)'; #create a clone of the target db
duplicate target database to PCH5;
}

Thanks for any help! Feel free to email me directly.
