Oracle RMAN is a powerful tool with many features for recovering datafiles, tablespaces or even single blocks, as well as cloning databases for non production uses. However restoring a database to an entirely different server (or set of servers) it was backed up from is a somewhat cumbersome process.
In this post we will restore an RMAN backup to a new host, keeping the same database name and datafile names.
When using RMAN to restore a database to a new host, the recover database step fails with:
Crosschecked 43 objects PSDRPC returns significant error 3113.
