RMAN executable file and Oracle versions

The RMAN executable file version must match the Oracle database version. For example, the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory contains the RMAN executable file. Linux systems use the default RMAN file in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory. An RMAN backup or restore script that uses the default RMAN executable file causes the backup or restore operation to fail.

For multiple versions of Oracle, RMAN executables must point to the correct ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.

To determine whether the default RMAN executable points to the correct RMAN executable in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, type the following commands:

which rman
/usr/X11R6/bin/rman
rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/rman
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33

catalogdb:/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N
largedb:/home/oracle/OraHome:N
orcl:/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N

The sample output from the oratab file includes a database that is named largedb. This database has both Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g homes. Because largedb is an Oracle 9i instance, the correct RMAN executable is in /home/oracle/OraHome/bin/rman.

Set the PATH variable to the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to ensure that RMAN uses the correct executable file. Before running RMAN scripts, run /usr/local/bin/oraenv.
