>>From context it isn't clear to me - is OP using RMAN to do the restore
or trying to make NBU do it?  I don't think the latter is possible and
his comment about FORCE_MEDIA_RESTORE makes me think he is trying that.

RMAN has its own repository which is consulted for restore information.
Wouldn't one first have to have recovered that repository somewhere?

Also - When we first started doing RMAN here for some reason our DBAs
didn't think they had to specify the same policy name as that used for
backup when they did the restore.  They had issues until I pointed it
out to them.

Hello Chris

Have some experience with D/R of databases

Have you put No.Restrictions under altnames on your D/R master ?

The bprd or the dbclient maybe shed some light on the issue

Also CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT and CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT might be worth to
look in to

Any entries in /var/adm/messages ?

Regards
Michael
