I'd like to copy On-Line 7.24 from one Solaris machine ( 2.5.1 ) to another ( 2.6 ). I created an archive on the old machine using ontape -s -L 0. I created an instance on the new machine where all the chunks have the same name ( and are bigger then the original chunks ) and all the other parameters are the same. When I try the restore I get for rootdbs Spaces to restore:1 [rootdbs ] Physical restore failed - Cannot warm restore ROOT DBspace or for data dbspace Spaces to restore:1 [ifmxdb1 ] Physical restore failed - Bad log file configuration for log 1. So, what am I missing here? Thanks much
