RMAN-05158

WARNING: auxiliary (string) file name string conflicts with a file used by the target database

Cause

Recovery Manager (RMAN) attempted to use the specified file name as a restore destination in the auxiliary database, but this name was already in use by the target database. If the auxiliary database instance can access the storage where the target data files are residing, then the target database file gets overwritten causing corruption in the target database.


Action

Use the CONFIGURE AUXNAME command to specify a name for the data files that do not conflict with a file name in use by the target database. Do not use the NOFILENAMECHECK option, unless you are sure that the target data file name using the given location is not accessible from the auxiliary database instance.
