这篇文章描述为RAC环境创建STANDBY数据库。
由于篇幅限制，加上碰到了很多的bug，只能将文章拆分成多篇。
由于错误太多，导致一篇文章无法完全记录下来，这一篇继续记录STANDBY数据库创建过程中碰到的问题。
刚刚在进行RAC环境的DUPLICATE DATABASE的时候，就碰到了很多问题，由于二者命令比较相似，本来认为这次不会碰到太多的问题，没有想到的是，这次碰到的问题居然比DUPLICATE碰到的问题多出一倍。而且基本上所有碰到的问题都是DUPLICATE操作时不曾遇到的。
执行DUPLICATE DATABASE FOR STANDBY时出现下面的错误：

这个错误是由于连接源数据库的服务名采用了RAC的总体配置，因此很可能连接到实例2上进行恢复，有两种方法解决这个问题，一个是在任意节点上保证密码文件orapwrac11g1和orapwrac11g2都存在，另一种方法更加简单，可以连接源数据库的时候指定唯一一个实例进行连接，比如这里将RAC11G替换为RAC11G1。

检查了一下，这个问题应该是ASM的bug造成的。关于ORA-17510的错误有一些，但是没有和当前情况相似的。
由于找不到解决这个问题的办法，只好想办法绕过这个bug。于是从这里以后，采用了先在本地创建一个SPFILE的方式，将所有需要修改的参数都提前修改完成，避免在DUPLICATE命令的时候设置SPFILE参数。这样Oracle就不会执行ALTER SYSTEM语句，也就不会导致SPFILE的动态扩展。
随后利用SQLPLUS创建了本地的SPFILE，然后启动到NOMOUNT状态，通过RMAN连接却报错：

这是因为RMAN刚才的恢复操作覆盖了密码文件，所以这里必须重建。从源数据库再次拷贝密码文件到本地，再次执行：

这个问题导致的原因比较复杂。在本地测试连接，没有发现任何问题。在远端用sys测试连接辅助实例，也没有发现任何异常的情况。
但是只要执行DUPLICATE命令就会报这个错误。
由于没有其他可供参考的信息，只能根据现有的错误信息进行推测。首先报错发生在CHANNEL c1上，而且是连接远端数据库服务器。说明问题是在执行过程中，源数据库尝试连接辅助实例时出现的错误，怀疑问题可能与密码文件有关。
可是通过命令行测试没有发现任何的问题。而且前面采用SPFILE方式的时候，也经历了类似的步骤，为什么没有报错。
通过观察Oracle执行的脚本发现了问题，Oracle执行了下面的操作：
contents of Memory Script.:
{
backup as copy reuse
file '/data/oracle/product/11.1/database/dbs/orapwrac11g1' auxiliary format
'/data/oracle/product/11.1/database/dbs/orapwrac11g1' ;
}
executing Memory Script
这个操作时前面通过SPFILE方式所没有的，这也是为什么原来没有报错，而这里报错的原因。
不过问题又出现了，Oracle这个操作的目录是将远端的密码文件同步到本地服务器上，使得后续的SYS连接可以正常登陆。这个操作本来是没有任何问题的，而且实际上前面我就是采用了操作系统上面的类似操作，将源数据库的密码文件同步到本地的。那么为什么Oracle的rman执行了这个操作后，源数据库再连接辅助实例的时候反而报错了呢。
检查了源数据库的配置后，发现了问题的所在，源数据库采用了裸设备的方式，而本地的$ORACLE_HOME/dbs目录下的密码文件只是一个链接而已。
$ ls -l
total 38404
-rw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 1552 Sep 5 16:09 hc_rac11g1.dat

-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 19611648 Sep 8 18:27 snapcf_rac11g1.f
很可能Oracle在这里执行备份的时候出现了错误，没有采用裸设备备份而是当作操作系统文件进行了拷贝，导致恢复到辅助实例后，密码文件不可用。
于是先去掉了连接，直接将裸设备中的密码文件拷贝到本地目录，使得RMAN可以正常的拷贝这个文件：
$ dd if=/dev/vx/rdsk/datavg/rac11g_pwdfile f=/data/rac11g_pwfile
204800+0 records in
204800+0 records out
bash-3.00$ rm orapwrac11g1
bash-3.00$ rm orapwrac11g2
bash-3.00$ cp /data/rac11g_pwfile orapwrac11g1
再次执行DUPLICATE，则权限不足的问题被解决。
