Hello,
I am attempting to replace an existing OL6 12c single ASM instance database (target db) with a full backup from
a OL6 11gr2 single ASM instance (source db).
I moved my full RMAN backup to the target server and ran the RMAN catalog start command so I could
register the source remote RMAN backup on the new physical server but when I run the command:
RMAN>CATALOG START WITH '/xxxx'
RMAN refuses to register/catalog this backup with the following RMAN error RMAN-07518:
***************************************
List of Files Which Were Not Cataloged
=======================================
File Name: /u02/app/oracle/oradata/dataces/rman/aces_backup_dd_950292090_50326_1
RMAN-07518: Reason: Foreign database file DBID: 3119808711 Database Name: xxx
***************************************
What steps do I need to take so that I can successfully register this remote RMAN backup so I can
use it to replace the target local database with this remote source database?
(I am just looking to replace this target database with this source database - any
suggestions/instructions/docs would be much appreciated.)
Thank you for your assistance,
