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-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands

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.

While true, the error message seems to be something unrelated - at least
on 10.2.0.4 connect to the same instance as target and auxiliary doesn't
generate any error messages ...
