RMAN restore from tag

Dave W GreenMay 15 2015 — edited May 18 2015

oracle 11.2.0.4 on redhat 6

SERV1 is prod server running database MAZ, SERV2 is developemt server with no databases on it.

I have noted the dbid and last SCN, and then taken a backup on SERV1 using the following command

    run

    {

    backup database plus archivelog tag "first";

    }

now copied all the backup files and a copy of the pfile to SERV2.

on SERV2

    rman target /

    set dbid 2711958994

    startup mount pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/initmaz.ora

    run {

    set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u03/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/TEST/autobackup/2015_05_15/%F';

    restore spfile to pfile '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/initmaz.ora' from autobackup;

    }

   

    shutdown immediate

    startup nomount pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/initmaz.ora

   

    run {

    set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u03/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/TEST/autobackup/2015_05_15/%F';

    restore controlfile from autobackup;

    }

   

    alter database mount;

   

    catalog start with '/u03/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/MAZ/backupset/2015_05_15';

now i checked that the backup set it available on SERV2

    rman target /

    RMAN> list backup;

   

    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

at this point if i run the following then everything works

    run {

    set until scn 1977737;

    restore database;

    recover database;

    }

   

    alter database open resetlogs;

but i want to restore using the tag name (FIRST), so i try this

    run {

    set until scn 1977737;

    restore database from TAG=FIRST;

    }

and i get message

    Starting restore at 15-MAY-15

    using channel ORA_DISK_1

    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore

    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore

any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?

thanks
