Error while cloning database to a different host

Question

Hi,
I'm using rman to clone a database from host1 to host2. The directory structures on host2 is different from host1 for the datafiles and control file.
I have changed the init.ora file on host2 to reflect the new path for the control files.
Within the run command I have:
run{
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u04/oradata/AUX/system01.dbf'; (for all the datafiles I have this statement)
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO AUX
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 ('/u04/oradata/AUX/redo01a.log',
'/u05/oradata/AUX/redo01b.log') SIZE 100M
GROUP 2 ('/u04/oradata/AUX/redo02a.log',
'/u05/oradata/AUX/redo02b.log') SIZE 100M
GROUP 3 ('/u04/oradata/AUX/redo03a.log',
'/u05/oradata/AUX/redo03b.log') SIZE 100M;
When I run the command I get the error as:
using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1
channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
restoring datafile 00001 to /u04/oradata/AUX/system01.dbf

Can someone help me. I'm not sure where I'm wrong. The user running the script has write permission in /u04/oradata/AUX/ directory.

Answer 1

The message seems to be clear, did you check the file permissions on host2? You cannot create undotbs01.dbf, because the existing permissions don't allow it.
