Hi all, I have to implement TDP for Oracle at one our customer location right from TSM.The oracle DB is 8.1.7 on windows NT 4.0. TSM version 5.2.0.0 on windows 2000. RMAN is not used for backup now.
My problem is the customer is not willing to provide me with a separate machine for RMAN recovery catalog database. He insists that RMAN DB also be installed on the same machine where the target DB is Installed and running. When I tried the installation in a test m/c I installed Two databases on the same machine in archive log mode. one named PRODDB and other RCATDB. Everything went on fine. When I tried to Mount the target DB which is "PRODDB" in mount mode it says an oracle error " cannot mount the database in Exclusive mode". How to go about it in such situation. I have checked in the ORacle forum sites. But unable to get a solution. My requiremnt is to start the database in mount mode which is to be done for recovery from RMAN. I hope somebody would have done this already. thanks in advance John --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this e-mail is the property of DCM DataSystems and may be confidential and privileged.
