ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system

BalajidbaJul 10 2017 — edited Jul 12 2017

Hi,

I recevied below error in Exadata RAC database.

ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system

As per metalink Note 1472171.1 In RAC environment from 11.2 onwards Backup Or Snapshot control file needs to be in shared location.

If shared disk:

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '<Shared_Location>/DB1ORCL.g';

If ASM:

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '<+DiskGroup>/DB1ORCL.g';

When I checked in Rman, I could see the below. Looks like snapshot control file is already configured to shared disk. But don't know why I am getting this ORA error.

Could you please check and suggest how to fix this issue?

RMAN> show snapshot controlfile name;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name BQ2 are:

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '+DATA_DM01/BP3SM/snapcfBP3.dbf';

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '+DATA_DM01/bp3sm/snapcfbp3.dbf';

This is Exadata server

This is RAC database.

Oracle - 11.2.0.4.0

OS     -- Linux

This is prod.

Regards,

Bala
