Using 9iR2, Solaris 8, and Veritas NetBackup, an RMAN duplicate database script fails after restoring the control files when I use a normal "allocate channel" command. The error tells me I must allocate an auxiliary channel (which matches the Oracle instructions). Allocating an auxiliary channel fails immediately, as does allocating one of each (no control files restored). My syntax is correct.
