hi,
i am trying to to take a physical backup(LEVEL 0) and it fails with ORA-00245 error. i have read the fol document [/code]http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28254/rman.htm#i455026[/code] and it says The snapshot control file is a copy of a database control file created in an operating system-specific location by Recovery Manager. i have also check fol

SHOW SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME;

and it gave me /uo1/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome
_1/dbs/snapcf_xxx.f

can any one help what can be the solution

Regards,

i only did fol:

RMAN> SHOW SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name MYDB are:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/uo1/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/snapcf_MYDB.f'; # defualt

Configure your snapshot location to a file on your shared device.

I've already told you that /+ is not a legal path. Do you want to use a clustered file system (which would begin with /) or an ASM diskgroup (which would begin with +)?

I have to say that I find it terrifying that a RAC DBA is not aware of this. What about backup and restore in general? What you do if, for example, you lost an undo tablespace and a copy of the controlfile? How would you minimize downtime and data loss?

Sorry but what don't you understand in John's posts?
It seems to me it is clear what you have to do to fix your issue.

By the way, there is something wring with your keyboard: it inserts multiple "..." characters.

problem solved and correct syntax is

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '+SG1/snapcf_MYDB.f'

+SG1 must not start with '/'
