RMAN-06403 ORA-01034 When registering database in RMAN [message #246952]

I'm running oracle 10.2 on RHEL4. I have a local development db which also contains the recovery catalog. I can backup my local development db without issue using RMAN. For some reason, when I attempt to register a remote database to be backed up via RMAN I get the below error:

[oracle@tony admin]$ rman target / catalog rman/rman@t_dev

Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Fri Jun 22 11:18:04 2007

RMAN> register database;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory

My ORACLE_SID is correctly defined in my environment and I can successfully tnsping the remote db. I can also properly connect to the remote db via sqlplus. Here is a sample entry from tnsnames.ora:

TEST_DEV =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = dev_host)(Port = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = TEST_DEV)
)
)

My sqlnet.ora is:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: /home/oracle/ora10_2/network/admin/sqln
et.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)

Any thoughts?

Quote:

The target database must be mounted or open

Of course, the recovery catalog database must be open.

Apparently, RMAN doesn't think so:

Can you make a SQL*Plus connection without specifying the tns alias (ie. sqlplus / as sysdba) and issue a select instance_name, status from v$instance;

I cannot make a SQL*Plus connection without specifying the tns alias. I continue to get the below error:

Yet, when I do specify the tns alias I am able to make a SQL*Plus connection. The target database is up and running. It appears I've got a tnsnames authentication issue that I can't determine.

You seem to be clue resistant.
>Yet, when I do specify the tns alias I am able to make a SQL*Plus connection. The target database is up and running.
Using TNS alias implies using SQL*Net to make the connection.
Either
1) SQL*Net is connecting to a different database
or
2) your local OS user does not have privs to access local DB.

Since you choose to NOT answer via cut & paste, I choose to let you flail away & You're On Your Own (YOYO)!

Hi, I had answered the post prior to yours, sorry I did not respond specifically to your post in a concise and prompt enough manner. Below is the information requested:

1) SQL*Net is connecting to the correct database when I use:
username/password@test_dev

2) How would OS permissions raise this error when I can connect to the remote databse using the connect string listed above?

Here is the cut & paste output:

user@server:/export/home/user> ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 28961 1 0 May 22 ? 6:23 ora_pmon_TEST_DEV
user 4497 4485 0 11:29:52 pts/16 0:00 grep pmon

When using SQL*Net to access the DB, effectively the user "oracle" is doing the work.

>user@server:/export/home/user> ps -ef | grep pmon

I suspect that "user" in line above is NOT the same username used to install the Oracle software.
If so, this is why the error.

What is cut & paste output from
env | sort

While logged onto system that contains the target DB, do cut & paste of the following:

ls -l $ORACLE_HOME

If/when you are logged directly on the database server as user "oracle", you'll be able to invoke sqlplus & access the database.

Since you are trying to connect to a remote database, you need construct your RMAN connection as:

$ rman target sys/password@test_dev catalog rman/rman@t_dev
