Using RMAN to clone a database
Hi, I know this subject has probably come up a million times, and I've read doc after doc to ensure I do this correctly so I believe I may be missing something very small or something very obvious because I can't find the problem.
ENVIRONMENT:
prod database on its own server. Rman backups go to an iscsi subsystem. Works flawlessly.
rman catalog and auxiliary db reside together on Test server. This test server has its own iscsi subsystem that parallels production including the same directory structure naming conventions. Keep in mind these are independent subsystems and they don't see each other.
