Just a short note:

When doing a “duplicate from active database” with a larger amount of channels you need to set the PROCESSES setting in your parameter file to a reasonable high value (i.e. 500). Otherwise the duplicate will fail with:

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 03/30/2012 13:56:22

Oracle just released a statement which states the immediate availability and support using Oracle database 11g R2 with Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.
