"ORA-27047:unable to read the header block of file"
BaffyAug 5 2010 — edited Nov 26 2012All,
I've moved a hot backup of my database to another server. Both are same versions of Solaris:
bash-2.05$ uname -X
System = SunOS
Release = 5.9
(just to mention that the last time I did this, it worked perfectly).
When I try to create the controlfile usning a script with first line shown below:
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE WCHPEC01 RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG....
.....
I get the following error:
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "WCHPEC01" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u02/oradata/wchpec01/WCHPEC01_SYSTEM01.dbf'
ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file
SVR4 Error: 99: Option not supported by protocol
Additional information: 2
===============
From the investigations I've done, I found this happens when you're trying to restore to a different O/S with different endian format, but this is not the case here.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
