在给oracle 10g搭建dg使用rman复制数据库时，在连接辅助实例时出错，错误信息如下所示:
[oracle@oracle11g admin]$ rman target sys/zzh_2046@test auxiliary sys/system@aux_test catalog rman/rman@jy

从上面的错误信息可以看到ORA-04031是因为不能给共享内存分配1040 bytes大小的内存。如是直接用rman连接辅助实例也出现错误，错误信息如下所示:

在MOS上找到了ORA-4031 During Startup Nomount using RMAN without parameter file [ID 1176443.1]内容如下:
Applies to:
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
***Checked for relevance on 08-May-2013***
Symptoms
RMAN startup nomount failed with ORA-4031
Customer was testing RMAN backup/restore in Exadata.
Customer firstly backup the database to tape and then remove all the datafiles, spfile, controlfiles for testing.
Then during the recover, customer connected RMAN with nocatalog and try to "startup nomount", then ORA-4031 occured.

Cause
RMAN has failed to start a dummy instance without pfile.
Default values used for the dummy instance are not enough to start the instance up.
This is reported in Bug 9680987 - RMAN CANNOT START DATABASE WITHOUT PARAMETER FILE
Solution
There are two possible solutions:
1- Create temporary init.ora file (/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initTEST.ora) with the following parameters:
db_name=
large_pool_size=100m
shared_pool_size=250m
db_cache_size=10m
2- Set environment variable ORA_RMAN_SGA_TARGET before executing rman. For example:
$ export ORA_RMAN_SGA_TARGET=350
这篇文章给出了两种解决方法，一种是增加内存参数，一种是设置环境变量，适用版本是11.2.0.1及其以后版本，我这里是oracle 10.2.0.5,因为第二种方法简单，所以尝试使用设置环境变量的方法:
[oracle@jingyong1 ~]$ export ORA_RMAN_SGA_TARGET=350
[oracle@jingyong1 ~]$ rman target sys/system@aux_test

我这里的版本是10.2.0.5，使用第二种方法不行。只能采取第一种增加内存参数的方法。

通过向参数文件中增加内存参数解决了这个故障。
