Duplicate database command fails with RMAN-06023

Question

Hello,
I am trying to test out the duplicate database command in RMAN and am running into some issues.
I did a backup of my test database, copied the backup files to a second server, and now I'm trying to run the duplicate command and I get RMAN-06023 errors for all of my datafiles.
I did crosschecks on my backupsets and they showed as available. They are in the same location on the new server, with the same permissions. There are no recent archived logs, as this is a very quiet environment.
My commands and output (edited slightly) were as follows:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel d1 device type disk;
3> allocate channel d2 device type disk;
4> backup database;
5> }

Hi,
Where is you RMAN catalog? I think you forgot to connect to it.
To duplicate a database check that folowing applies:
1-the auxiliary instance is mounted
2-the listener for the auxiliary db is up
3-the backup pieces that RMAN is going to restore ARE AVAILABLE on the
secondary/auxilary server with SAME NAME the have on the primary server (you can use NFS to avoid the copy of the pieces from primary to auxuliary box)
Remember to be conected to both: target and auxiliary db.
I have extracted the folowing lines from an RMAN script I used to create an standby database with the DUPLICATE command (the RMAN catalog was in the primary db controlfile, and the command was run on the primary server:
$ rman target / nocatalog auxiliary sys/pwd@standbycard log=crCARD.log
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck dorecover;
I hope this helps
