转 RMAN-20005: target database name is ambiguous
发生的这个错误的由于：
在RMAN CATALOG中，register了一个name叫test的数据库，后来这个库被我搞坏了。就重建了一个test的数据库，名称没有更改，又重新register到RMAN CATALOG中。在用CATALOG备份都是没有问题。后来模拟controlfile/datafile丢失的case，就发生了
RMAN-20005: target database name is ambiguous的错误。
由于CATALOG上有两个不同DBID但是名称相同的target database，CATALOG不知道要连接哪个target，故报错。
可以通过以下方式解决：
1. 连接到catalog 上，获取到dbid的信息
$ sqlplus rman/rman@db

新库比老库创建的晚，那DBID为 1947325841
2. 确认DBID的信息：
通过list backup反馈的信息确认是否正确：
$ rman target / catalog rman/rman@db

我只备份了一次新库，呵呵。毫无疑问，DBID是正确的。
说明：
不要在同一个CATALOG中注册相同的DBNAME的库，否则会产生混乱。
