RMAN-05541 & RMAN-05001 when duplicating database from a consistent (cold) RMAN backup.

RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database.

 

Problem: 

You are getting RMAN-05541 error when duplicating database from a consistent (cold) RMAN backup.

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 04/16/2021 12:57:12
RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database
RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database

Solution:

The error should be resolved by using NOREDO clause for your duplicate command.

DUPLICATE DATABASE TO 'TEST02' BACKUP LOCATION '/mnt/export/oracle/orabackup/full/' NOREDO;

RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database (Auxiliary file name /.../.../oracle/.../oradata/perfstat01.dbf conflicts with a file used by the target database).

 

Problem: 

You are getting RMAN-05001 error when duplicating database from a consistent (cold) RMAN backup.

RMAN-05001: auxiliary file name /mnt/export/oracle/oradata/perfstat01.dbf conflicts with a file used by the target database

Solution:

The error should be resolved by using NOFILENAMECHECK clause for your duplicate command.

DUPLICATE DATABASE TO 'TEST02' BACKUP LOCATION '/mnt/export/oracle/orabackup/full/' NOFILENAMECHECK;

💡Both can be used in the same DUPLICATE command in case we are duplicating non-OMF database from a cold RMAN backup as follows:

DUPLICATE DATABASE TO 'TEST02' BACKUP LOCATION '/mnt/export/oracle/orabackup/full/' NOREDO NOFILENAMECHECK;
