ORA-01109: database not open

Oracle RAC backup error 19: 1109

The database is not open

This can happen when the database was previously shut down and a user left in the middle of the startup process.

ORA-00245

An Oracle RAC IntelliSnap backup failed.

The usual reason for this error is that the control file is located on a local file system. For Oracle RAC, the control file for the snapshot must be in a location that is shared by all the nodes that are part of the Oracle RAC cluster.

Unable to contact the client

The Oracle RAC backup failed because of a communications, or a permission issue.

Run the database readiness check for the client. For more information, see Check Readiness for File System Clients, Database Clients, and Pseudo Clients.

Windows

c:\oracle\app\oracle\flash_recovery_area\

UNIX/Linux

/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
