Hi,
I have a 2 Virtual machine with Oracle 10g on OEL.
Let's say machine 1 is called : OEL-SOURCE MACHINE
Let's say machine 1 is called : DR-TARGET MACHINE
When i am trying to restore rman backup on 2 machine 'DR', it comes with the message "RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore"
Here are the steps that i followed on Machine 1 i.e. OEL-SOURCE MACHINE :

Here comes the issue ...when i try to restore the db
RMAN> restore database;
Starting restore at 26-OCT-10
using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/26/2010 20:53:13
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
SO MY QUESTION OR DOUBT IS WHY AT THE END IT FAILS THAT THERE IS NO BACKUP FOR DATAFILE 1,2,3,4 ??? AS WE CAN SEE ABOVE IT IS PRESENT IN MY BACKUPSET ??
ANY IDEA /HINTS/TIPS ?
I searched on google and somebody mentioned to a similar case that it could be a problem with 'CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF' where as in my case i have set it to 'CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON'
Somehow looks like that the control file is not having latest backup info ... :-( I already took a fresh backup 2 times and landed up in same issue.. not sure where i am doing a mistake.
