Johnson From what I read of your trace file, the channels are being released, presumably just before you need them. Do you have that explicitly coded in your RMAN recovery script, or are they being released for another reason. My immediate response is that maybe the problem lies in why those channels are being released. Can you move your channel commands after the SET NEWNAME commands?

I seem to be doing everything according to manuals and metalink notes but am not able to do the restore. The case is I am restoring a database to another node. I have successfully restore the control file but when I tried to restore the database I get RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 1 for every datafile. I am inserting the RMAN trace . I would appreciate if someone can lead in the right direction. Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production Copyright (c) 1995, 2002, Oracle Corporation.
