I am trying to duplicate a production database - version 10.2. 0.1.0.-
in a different server and I started the instance with nomount. Then I
connected to rman :

RMAN> connect target /

connected to target database: NIVO (not mounted)

RMAN> connect auxiliary /

RMAN-00571:
==========================================================> RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS
==============> RMAN-00571:

RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 2 file: standard input

But when I tried to connect to auxiliary, I am getting the following
error. Any idea what could cause this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Go to tahiti.oracle.com. In the search box enter:
duplicate database

Then click on your version, then on the examples link. Note that you
cannot duplicate a database onto itself, as your connect auxiliary
command seems to be saying you are trying to do.
