Backup & Recovery :: Database Recovery With Missing One Of The Archivelog
Feb 10, 2011I want to do the recovery of my database using the archive log files but one of the archive log in between is missing,
View 17 RepliesI want to do the recovery of my database using the archive log files but one of the archive log in between is missing,
View 17 RepliesI need to make my database to ARCHIVELOG mode when i try it it gives below following error
SQL> alter database archivelog;
alter database archivelog

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00265: instance recovery required, cannot set ARCHIVELOG mode
Just now my database is hang due to the archivelog full. I try to use RMAN to delete the expired one and free space but encounter the error:
RMAN>crosscheck archivelog all;
archive log filename=/geodata/oraclelog/archive_log/ORAGF45/archivelog/2013_06_04/o1_mf_1_1444_8tsxvwc2_.arc recid=1350 stamp=817182450

[code].......
So I try to back it up first by using the below command:
RMAN> backup archivelog all;
Starting backup at 04-JUN-13
using channel ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting archive log backupset
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying archive log(s) in backup set
[code]......
I know that I have to extend the db_recovery_file_dest directory for "limit exceed" error but how can I safely delete the archivelog in order to bring up the database?
I have migrated my database to oracle and while migration i have followed all instructions and migrated to oracle.the connection and user having my tables and all object is
con name: orcltestcon user: orcltestuser and password: orcltestuser.
I want to turn on ARCHIVELOG Mode ON.
1) Is it good practice to turn on archivelog. also tel me cases where it is good.
2) to turn on ARCHIVELOG , with which command i should connect.
1) CONNECT SYS/<password> AS SYSDBA;
or
2) CONNECT orcltestuser/orcletestuser AS SYSDBA.
if I could execute the 'ALTER DATABASE BEGIN/END BACKUP' while in NOARCHIVELOG MODE.

I'm running incremental backups, a level 0 on sunday and a level 1 the other days of the week, this is the ctl file:
LEVEL 0:
connect target /@ORCL
connect catalog rman/rmanpw@rmancat

[code]....
The level 0 does delete the archive logs (because of the delete input). Each backupset has two copies of the archive logs (which is what I want), and I expected the logs to be deleted after being backed up 2 days (each day is twice, 2 days = 4 times). But it's not deleting the logs, even after 6 runs.

Why do I need to specify an option at the first place?As my redo is intact, it is not incomplete recovery and, I do not want to generate new incarnation of my database.Why oracle simply not opening my database?

My scenario is use RMAN to restore and recover database to a new host.The structure of two hosts are same.
In Host A:
1. Take a full backup.
2. Import a schema which has 191 tables in order to generate archivelogs.
In Host B:
I put all the folders(backupset, autobackup, archivelog) to the same directory. But after recovered the database, i checked that schema just has 175 tables, the latest few tables are missing.
We have a nightly rman backup that was complete and clean.The backup contains a Data File, Control File and a backup Archive Log file.The database server crashed with all the subsequent archive logs lost.
We are trying to recover from the three backup files.We are bumping into the backup piece missing as all the archive logs are done. how to restore with the exising backup files. the lost archive logs are probably salvageable.
1) i lost my control file number 'some loc'contol01.ctl
2) i have restore my old backup control file (single one).
3) while starting database i got error..
ORA-00214: control file '/...../control01.ctl' version 15166739 inconsistent with file '/...../control01.ctl'
how to perform database recovery and up the database?
We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremental level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Level 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?
We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable.
I have problem on using "delete obsolete" in RMAN.
First, let describe my backup configuration.
1. Full backup every Monday (17-Oct, 10-Oct, 3-Oct, 26-Sep)
2. Incremental backup for other days
3. Enable autobackup of control file
4. Backup archive log every day
5. RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS
6. Execute "Delete obsolete" every day
7. control file is used instead of catalog
The results observed:
1. Backup of control files older than 30 days will be deleted
2. Backup of archive log files older than 30 days will be deleted.
3. Backup of datafiles older than ~14 days but before 30 days are also DELETED.
In my example, the backup of datafiles created at 26-Sep is deleted at 16-Oct.
I tried "restore database validate until time "sysdate-22"" at 17-Oct. And RMAN reported "datafile xx will be created automatically during restore operation". It seems that RMAN failed to do restoration up to 22 days ago. The retention policy I set seems not effective on datafile backups.
I checked view v$backup_set and the "Keep" is "No" and "Keep until" is empty.
The only thing I can think of, is the settings of "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME". It is marked "7" in the Oracle, which is less than the retention. But I suppose this only causes the backup not deleted, but NOT be deleted earlier.
My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.
I have a database in Archivelog mode and Flashback mode. I am trying to connect to RMAN. But am getting the error

what causes this warning and how to get rid of it?

RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed
I have a doubt regarding the process the RMAN follows for restore and recovery of the database.
My Level 0 full backup completes on Saturdays at around 11 am after taking 8 hours (It starts at 3am).On Sunday, I ask RMAN to restore (on a different box) till Saturday 11:30 am.Then, after the restore is successful, I recover it till 11:45 am.
The recovery also goes fine and Iam able to clone to test box.
Till what time is the database restored? I assume its till 11 am since the L0 backup finishes at 11 am though I have asked it to restore till 11:30 am
During the recovery, ONLY the archives generated between Saturday 3 am and till the time i asked for recovery (Saturday 11:45 am ) are required. But, checking the recovery log file, i was surprised to see that RMAN has restored archive files starting from Friday 9:30 pm (Much before the time the Level 0 backup even started).
why does RMAN require the old archive log files.
I have problem when i am trying to recover database
i am getting above error.
while opening my database i got this error i already increase my db_recovery_file_dest_size but still i got this error

I was trying to backup my database via RMAN and I had deleted a datafile from the database while it was still in open mode.Since I can't return back to mount stage again,I tried to bring the tablespace pertaining to that datafile offline and then restore backup of the tablespace but it's falshing error during recovery.
When I try to restore entire database,it is not even able to restore.
I am trying to open the database bur gettinf following errors

1. My RAC (old RAC) had got a failures from one node, then there was only one existing node now.
2. I configured a RAC (new RAC) on 2 other servers, both of them (old-RAC and new-RAC) has got same OS version, platform and Oracle version release.
3. I took a full backup yesterday plus archivelog in the node of old-Rac, configure NFS in new-Rac to make the backup within remote-share NFS.
The only problem still now that I've restore/recovery/duplicated single instance, not Rac. So, may you guide me to do it?
Information:
Old-Rac & New-Rac:
+ Cluster 11g: CFS
+ Database: 2 nodes with same instance name (cbs1-cbs2)
+ Location for CRS_HOME and ORACLE_HOME: Same to be.
+ Location of archivelog: Same to be (+ARCHIVE)
