Problem:
Our client was not able to restore controlfile on +FRA diskgroup:
RMAN> restore controlfile to '+FRA' from '<backup file location>'; .... RMAN-03002 failure of restore command at 2021/05/24 19:12:19 ORA-19870: error while restoring backup piece ORA-19504: failed to create file '+FRA' ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +FRA ORA-15001: diskgroup "FRA" does not exist or is not mounted ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
Reason:
oracle binary under GI home did not have correct permissions:
[grid@rac1 bin]$ ll oracle -rwxr-x--x 1 grid oinstall 420332360 Oct 13 2020 oracle
Solution:
Change permissions to 6751 and retry the restore:
[grid@rac1 bin]$ chmod 6751 oracle [grid@rac1 bin]$ ll oracle -rwsr-s--x 1 grid oinstall 420332360 Oct 13 2020 oracle
