On 12.2 DB with DNFS is enabled, RMAN uses NFS mounted directory to store backup files.

When recreated directory on NFS server and then remounted with the same directory name and the same mount options, ORA-19504 occurs and RMAN backup fails.

Below is the steps used to reproduce this issue.

Please note in the example below IP address of NFS server will be changed to XX.XX.XX.XXX.

1.Check mount directory.

 

Changes

 Recreate directory or volume on NFS server, remount on NFS client and run RMAN backup again.
