Can't seem to be able to run RMAN

18169Apr 30 2009 — edited May 2 2009

Just completed an install of Oracle 11g on Linux Enteprise v 4.1. The database is running, and I have Oracle Beehive using this database. However, I would like to use RMAN to perform some of backup of the database; but RMAN just does not run.

When I issue the command: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman, it just hangs without loading the utility; I have to use CTL-C to recover the session. If I run the command $ORACLE_HOME/rman target / catalog username/password@instance, I receive the message: rman can't open target.

It is possible that I did not configure something properly to run RMAN; but according to the the Oracle documentation, RMAN is supossed to be installed as part of the DB installation.

Thanks for any assistance.
