Hi All

Getting this error while DB backup ran using RMAN

RMAN-06169: could not read file header for datafile 6 error reason 5

released channel: t1

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 05/28/2016 18:02:03

RMAN-06056: could not access datafile 6

When i checked the DB and the result is as follows:

SQL> select * from v$datafile where FILE#=6;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from v$recover_file where file#=6;

no rows selected

SQL>  select file#, name, status from v$datafile_header;

     FILE# NAME                                               STATUS

           dbf

7 rows selected.

SQL> select file#, ts#, status, enabled, name from v$tempfile;

FILE#        TS# STATUS  ENABLED

         1          3 ONLINE  READ WRITE

/data2/XXX/temp01.dbf

         2         10 ONLINE  READ WRITE

/data1/app/oracle/XXX/ceiinst1_cei_ts_temp.dbf

File# 5 & 6 belongs to temporary tablespaces as shown below. I do not understand why the backup is failing?
