Backup & Recovery :: Migrate 10gR2 On SPARC 5.9 To SunOS 5.10 X86_64
Sep 24, 2012
I need to migrate a 10gR2 Ent Ed. from SPARC 5.9 to SunOS 5.10 x86_64 and then upgrade the database to 11gR2 on the target platform. With the below output I would like know if I have any other option besides the imp/exp.

Question: to migrate from oracle 10gR2 in Windows to oracle 11gR2 in Linux . Steps are:
1. need to expdp all schemas/users from oracle 10gR2 in Windows, 2. then impdp each schema/user into oracle 10gR2 in Linux first, 3. then upgrade the oracle 10gR2 in Linux to oracle 11gR2 in Linux ? 4. Do I need to pre-create all the same tablespaces first in oracle 10gR2 in Linux ?
Is it correct ? or I can migrate straight all schemas/users from oracle 10gR2 in Windows to oracle 11gR2 in Linux using impdp ?
I have the task to migrate the total databases(Exact copy to be moved to another server).The current server is going for format.After I did the following steps I am getting the tablespaces(databases)-4 sizes same ,but I am facing issue like some default tablespaces i.e temp,system are not matching.
temp tablespace *************** current server - 4.0(approximately) Migrating server - 160 MB
System tablespace ***************** current server - 580 MB Migrating server - 220 MB
Also I checked the tables are also matching for the 4 databases.Also Provide the solution or method which is correct.
steps done for migrating(By me) ******************************** EXPORTING DATA USING DATAPUMP *********************************
1 From command prompt MKDIR 'c:oraclexeapp mp';
2 From SQL prompt conn system/kotak;
3 create or replace directory dmpdir as 'c:oraclexeapp mp';
4 grant read,write on directory dmpdir to kotak;
5 From command prompt

I've inherited a 10.2.0.1.0 instance running on a windows 2003 box; running fine, no problems other than system has been in production since 2005 and has gotten pretty old and tired. This old box has one tablespace on it... called "gateway".
I've installed 11.2.0.1 on a new (Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit) server and created an empty database also called "gateway".
Now to move the data and views, objects, everything.
I've read up on a variety of migration techniques (oops, I mean "upgradation" LOL) and can follow the steps...
In short, I want to pull everything off of server a (10.2) and put it into production on server b (11.2). There seems to be quit a few options.
1. install 10.2 on my NEW server (server b), move the data over and get everything running, then install 11.2 and have it upgrade the database as part of the installation process. 2. drop the empty tablespace on server b, stop the database on server a, copy the files over from the old to the new home, run DBUA or set the compatibility attribute... 3. run some type of server a to server b utility that can bridge the two over the network. Some type of mirroring technique? 4. run file export scripts on server a, copy files to server b and run various import scripts
I tend to think that option 3 would be the best because both instances are in great health and are running right now. Is there a mechanism that allows the 11.2 instance to see and upgrade from a different server?
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.
I have 2 seperate rman backup one backup is of only datafile ,spfile and controlfile which i am able to restore and recover without any problem say bkp1 taken at 10 am
other set of backup is of only archive log files of same day but later time than datafile backup say bkp2 taken at 8pm...if i restore and recover bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 it gives error datafile exist (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
if i just restore bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 so that i can do one recover at time it gives error datafile permission issue (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
I want to restore database upto 8pm time how can i use both bkp1 and bkp2 to do it(restore datafiles and apply all archive logs on it)
SQL> alter database mount; Database altered. SQL> alter database open resetlogs; alter database open resetlogs * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01139: RESETLOGS option only valid after an incomplete database recovery
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 just switched my STBDY DB to a PRIMARY DB and I am ran the following:
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog old RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; new RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored ORA-00245: control file backup operation failed

what causes this warning and how to get rid of it?
While connecting to target database from stand database. I am getting below error.

Backup-Based Duplication Without a Target and a Recovery Catalog Connection?
My database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.I took whole DB backup ( cold).Then just after half an hour I ran following script.
RMAN> RUN { RESTORE DATABASE;RECOVER DATABASE;alter database open;}

[code]...
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?
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).
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
ERROR at line 1: ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: 'C:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0ORADATAORCLSYSTEM01.DBF'

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)
I am trying to move my data files from one location to other as i ran out of space.
