Can someone tell why RMAN is unable to create physical standby database ?

>RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
A connection request was issued & got to a listener.
The listener reports that it does not know anything about the requested SERVICE_NAME.
This can occur because the DB is down.

You need to statically register the auxiliary database in the listener. Automatic instance registration is no good, because when te instance gets shutdown it de-registers and RMAN can't re-connect.

Yes, database become down because of following command by Memory script.

*************************
'''' scope=spfile";
shutdown clone immediate;
startup clone nomount;
}
*************************

See everything is fine at the start. RMAN is connecting successfully from both target and auxiliary database successfully via oracle net server.

The problem is, RMAN is unable to continue database duplication with next command i.e 'startup clone nomount;' Any reason for it ??? and how to create duplicate database via RMAN ?

Sorry, I can't help. I would check that the SQLNet configuration really is correct, but it looks OK to me.

When DB is down, listner automatically un-register DGREPL service name. so there is no service register while the listner is running.

There is something which is stopping oracle to start again. How to track it ?

lsnrctl stop
replace existing listener.ora with one below

Perhaps I see the problem: your listener.ora that has the standby instance statically registered is in your database home, but you are running 11.2 where (if you are using the Grid Infrastructure) your listener will be running off the Grid home. Have you edited the correct file?

1. Why are you connecting standby database by using connection identifier? Are you connecting from target database?

If yes, Try same procedure from standby database reproduce your error

On Standby server:

export ORACLE_SID=DGREPL

rman target  sys/system@REPL auxiliary /


Else, Coming to your listener configuration on standby database. Something wrong with SID

Thanks

@watson - i am not using grid infra-structure. its a simple single instance db.


@gentlebabu - i am using this command on standby database. i have already set the oracle_sid

$ echo $ORACLE_SID
DGREPL

connection identifier is used to connect both databases (target/auxiliary) via net service to make RMAN work. See error while running command not using identifier 'RMAN-06217: not connected to auxiliary database with a net service name'
