ORA-19776: PROXY restore to ASM disk group "+MIGRASM" is not supported.

Problem

Trying to restore an oracle backup with Oracle Intelligent Policy backing up to a Deduplication Stoage unit with No ASM to a a new server with ASM.

Error Message

RMAN-00571: =========================================================== 
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== 
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== 
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 05/08/2015 17:05:21

ORA-19776: PROXY restore to ASM disk group "+MIGRASM" is not supported. 

Cause

For Oracle Intelligent Policy and a deduplication storage unit without ASM , all backups will by default be a proxy backup. This is why the restore will also attempt to use Proxy for the restore causing a failure when attempting to restore to a system with ASM. The backup would need to also be of type non proxy.





 

Solution

If you wish to use OIP and backup to a deduplication STU using non proxy overriding the default behavior this can also be achieved by adding the following in the bp.conf file ORACLE_OVERRIDE_DATA_MOVEMENT with a value of :

 

• 1 -  always do a  streaming backup
• 2  - always do proxy backup
