Oracle Error RMAN-06758: DB_UNIQUE_NAME is not unique in the recovery catalog

Oracle Error Message

RMAN-06758: DB_UNIQUE_NAME is not unique in the recovery catalog

Reason for the Error

RMAN could not identify which SPFILE to restore for this target database, because the recovery catalog contained two or more different instances of this database, each with different DB_UNIQUE_NAME values.

Solution

Use the FOR DB_UNIQUE_NAME option to specify the name of the instance whose parameter file you want to restore.
