rman ora-12154 after successful initial connection

EdStevensMar 17 2016 — edited Mar 19 2016

Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 SE-One, 64bit, 64-bit

ASM 11.2.0.4.0.  No RAC, no cluster

OL 6.7

This is a follow-on to my 'bad eyes' post earlier.  Now I'm dealing with a real operational problem I'm not understanding.

Given this script for rman DUPLICATE

oracle:dwdev$ cat duplicate_dwdev

#!/bin/sh

# active duplicate of dwdev from vbdwdev to vbdwdev6

#

export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'

ORAENV_ASK=NO

#

#-- block in for later use

#ORACLE_SID=+ASM

#. oraenv

#asmcmd ls

#-- now go to work

ORACLE_SID=dwdev

. oraenv

#--

sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF

set echo on

shutdown immediate

startup nomount pfile=${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/init${ORACLE_SID}.ora

EOF

#--

lsnrctl status

#--

rman << EOF

set echo on

connect target sys/mypwd@dwdev5

connect auxiliary sys/mypwd@dwdev6

connect catalog rman/mypwd@rmcat

duplicate database to dwdev

from active database

db_file_name_convert ('+DEV_SMALL','+DATA',

                      '+DEV_LARGE','+DATA')

spfile parameter_value_convert ('+DEV_LARGE','+DATA',

                                '+DEV_SMALL','+DATA')

nofilenamecheck

;

EOF

Produces this result.  Notice that all 3 of my initial connections (target, aux, catalog, lines 61-72) are successful.  But when it starts the actual DUPLICATE, it returns ORA-12154: (line 105).  Doesn't specify which remote connection, but one would suspect the aux. 

Also notice that I run lsnrctl status immediately after starting the db as NOMOUNT, and it shows STATUS BLOCKED.  This is before rman gets hold of it and has, at leas initially, a good connection.

More after this listing.

oracle:dwdev$ cat duplicate.log

The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle

Now, the aux (destination of the duplicate) does not exist.  It only has a skeleton spfile:

oracle:dwdev$ strings $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfiledwdev.ora

*.db_name='dwdev'

And just in case internally, as rman needed to restart the aux and (possibly?) created his own net service name from the sid, the tnsnames is as follows:

oracle:dwdev$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/dbhome_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
