Could You help me?

I am not an Oracle db, but I see this error : RMAN-11003: failure during parse/execution of SQL statement: create spfile from pfile='/opt/oracle/11.2/product/dbhome/dbs/initODS.ora' 14/09/2015 23:48:08 - Info bphdb(pid=12090) INF - ORA-32002: cannot create SPFILE already being used by the instance Get your dba to investigate perhaps?

Hello,

Delete file initODS.ora and make clone database again.

[MauroG]

I am not a dba too I was tring too.

I was just wondering if a "profane" like me could take some advantage using the clone datatbase function to restore a db without dba intervention.

It looks that netbackup write the file as soon as the restore starts. Then it got something wrong.

When the restore ends with error 5 I found all the db processes UP and the file mentioned restored.

You will need logs on destination client to troubleshoot...

dbclient log for starters...
(Remember 777 permissions)
