ORA-19505: failed to identify file - RMAN in creating standby DR database.

I got this error when creating standby database at remote target server.
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "/backup/dxp1p/online/DXP1P_CF_c-2027711285-20131204-01"
Here is what I did:
1.   started the listener and created corresponding tnsnames entry at remote standyb server
2. startup nomount to the standby database at remote server for an empty instance (instance name dxp1p).
3. All rman backups are in the /backup mount point at primary and the mount point is shared on the remote server as nfs.   So, whatever have in the backup we should be able to see and read from the remote as well.
4. Run the following at primary rman:
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup current controlfile for standby;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
exit
5.   Start the rman command from primary after connected to the standby server, as the primary DB uses ASM and the standby DB uses file system for the database files:
RUN

RMAN offline full backup failed.
We had setup of Oracle RMAN backup with TSM and it was working perfect but few days backup, our team did testing with RMAN-NetBackup on database server and after that our existing backup process started giving error.
Our RMAN backup script is point to TSM but while executing, it shows to point NetBackup and not sure what dependencies are forcing them to point NetBackup.

Thanks for respond but issue is slightly different, we have RMAN backup setup with TSM and it was working fine earlier but last week one of our team installed and configured NetBackup with RMAN for testing oracle backup with RMAN-NetBackup and after testing they revert back the changes.
After this testing mine RMAN-TSM backup started giving error and in error it seems to point to NetBackup instead of TSM, however I did check the RMAN script but there is no any changes that point to NetBackup.
I am not sure what changes are causing to point backup to NetBackup instead of TSM.

and wtf does this have to do with the question?
i need answers not more questions...You are unlikely to find anyone here on these Java developer forums that know about
the particular Java application you have that you call a "runescape private server".
If I were you I would look for help where you downloaded your "runescape private server"
maybe they have some installation and troubleshooting guidelines?

Reply from nagulan is correct. Our turned out to be an error with TSM. The disk pool had filled up and it was writing this to tape before allowing the backup to continue. The backup didn't handle the "pause" event well and failed out. We only get this with V9 RMAN, not V10 or V11 RMAN backups. This has to be addressed by the backup vendor for V9 as the Oracle RMAN software doesn't seem to handle it well. Maybe configuring a really large timeout for responses MAY fix this, depending on what the code returned from the backup software vendor is and why RMAN isn't happy with it.
In the end it is an issue between V9 RMAN and the backup software we run TSM. Maybe version incompatibility or maybe just V9 is not that robust.

Does rman backup an init.ora file?

i read where there is a command to back up an spfile, but didn't see anything about how to backup an init.ora. is this not possible in rman -- do you have to back it up manually? or did i just miss something?
thanks.

As the others have indicated, there is NO specific RMAN command to back up the init file. However, as was mentioned, you can simply copy the file from the O/S or to ensure that the init file has the same parameter/values as the spfile, you can issue the following command while in RMAN:
sql "create pfile=''d:\oracle_backup\initORCL9.ora'' from spfile";

Error / Failed to create file in the network

I'm using and enjoying the Oracle Data Integrator and created two packages for extraction and loading. But trying to create the file in the directory on the network get an error. I checked the permissions, but without success. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
The error message is as follows:
"cp: cannot stat `/mnt/ceaurpasd1-APCEA-output/mfp_pln.csv': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access ORDWSJ0005_M*: No such file or directory
cp: missing destination file operand after `ORDWSJ0005.txt'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
chmod: cannot access `ORDWSJ0005.txt': No such file or directory"

Hi ,
Can you provide with more information on how exactly you are trying to create a file on network driver? Did you create interfaces and call these two in the packages? or are you using OS commands? KM you are using?
regards
kk

RMAN backup to remote disk in Windows

Hi,
I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.1 with Windows Server 2003 in both Server A and Server B. My prime DB is stored in Server A meanwhile my RMAN Catalog is in Server B. I’m running RMAN to do backup of the DB in Server A which is running out of space. So, I have decided to store my backupsets to Server B since I do have few hundred Gs there. Overall, I will push the backup script from RMAN Catalog in Server B and will store the backupsets back to Server B.
My problem is whenever I run the script, no matter either from Server A or Server B, I’m getting the following error. Attached together is the RMAN configuration parameters.
Error:
RMAN> backup database;

My Login ID exists in Administrator and ORA_DBA group in both Server A and Server B. I can manually run the path '\\ServerB\f$\drdb\backupset\’ from Server A and able to create/modify/delete a file inside this folder. But I don’t understand why getting the ‘Access denied’ error? Anyway, is this a correct way to do backup into remote disk? I’m quite new to Oracle and just attended RMAN course with OU. I have Google-ed this problem but none can assist me. Please do help me or share your knowledge to resolve this problem.
Thanks & regards,
Nesan

Hi Andre,
Yes you're correct, it's because of the Oracle service which run under Local System Account. I have went to it's properties and changed the logon details to my own Login ID which is Administrator for both Server A and B. Now my remote backup is working great...
But does this changes will affect other apps/jobs/results in Oracle?
Guys,
If you have any better idea to solve this issue please drop into this thread or let me know if you find anything wrong on my solution.
Thanks a lot for Andre.... You have solved my 2 weeks problem.
Regards,
Nesan

Hi,
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"make sure you have created this directory and change it's ownership (chown command)to oracle.
also make sure that oracle user has permission to write to this direcotry (chmod command)
hope this helps

Oracle RMAN backup to disk on vbox4.2 shared folders

[https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=53683]
Cross posting a virtualbox forum post in case someone has this working.
[posting snippet]
Anyone successfully using Oracle 10.2/11.2 RMAN to backup to mounted vbox guest shared folder? I'm thinking there may be some special configuration requirement like there is with NFS share mount options.

Hi,
never tried it, but I know that the shared folders in vbox don't work like normal filesystems.
I would rather setup an NFS server on the host and mount an NFS share in the guest.
