RMAN duplication issue

Question

Dba's
Previously we used the following scripts to take the RMAN duplication when we have the same mount in both the servers.
run {
allocate auxiliary channel c1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel c2 type disk;
duplicate target database to SIDB;
But, we have added two new mount points to our production servers and add new datafiles over there, but we didn't add any mount point to our auxiliary server. In this case what will be the script to duplicate the database.

Hi,
Here is the sample script
connect catalog xxx/xxxxx@xxxxxxx
connect target /
connect auxiliary sys/xxxxx@xxxxxxx
run{
allocate channel d1 device type disk;
allocate channel d2 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a2 device type disk;
set until sequence 96280 thread 1;          -- in case if you want to duplication until specific seq.
set newname for datafile 1 to '/oracle/dbs1/testdb/user02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/oracle/dbs2/testdb/user03.dbf';
set newname for datafile 10 to '/oracle/dbs8/testdb/tools.dbf';
duplicate target database to testdb
release channel d1;
release channel d2;
exit;
Hope this helps.
