Gary, Why are you trying to create the RMAN schema? You could be connecting to the RMAN database that was used for making the backup. To clone a database, your target should be your production db, your catalog should be the RMAN catalog that was used for the backup, your clone should be auxiliary. e.g.: rman uname/password@prod target uname/password@rmandb auxiliary / (assuming that your environment is set for the auxiliary database - SID, ORACLE_HOME, etc.). I only use RMAN for backing up to disk, so I can' t help with the MML portion (media management layer).
Jay >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/31/03 12:20PM >>> Can you please clarify what you mean by "linking the MML to Oracle"? I am unable to create the RMAN schema,table,and views on the 'to-be-clone' database yet since it is just a non-mounted instance at this point in time. I assumed I would connect to rman as a rcvcat on the server with the dbcat database and the legato tape device. Then connect as the target to the to-be-clone non-mounted instance. Is this correct? Then in the restore rman script I use: NSR_SERVER as the tape device/dbcat server NSR_CLIENT as the to-be-clone target server Is this correct?
