Backup & Recovery :: Network Drive - Cannot Read From New Host?
Aug 25, 2011
I take a backup on PROD and want to use that backup on test to duplicate the PROD db.I ran this first on PROD:
catalog rman11cv/password@metarep
connect target /
RUN
{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:
estore\%U';
BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
I runs fine.map the network drive on my TEST machine. I run the script:
connect target sys/password@pdm;
connect auxiliary /;
run {
allocate auxiliary channel 'ch1' type disk;
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO 'D:oracleoradatadatabasedataSYSTEM01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO 'D:oracleoradatadatabasedataUNDOTBS01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO 'D:oracleoradatadatabasedataCWMLITE01.DBF';
[code]....
Its trying to read from the right backupset.But Im not sure it can see it:
channel ch1: reading from backup piece G:RESTOREN3MKSOMQ_1_1
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece G:RESTOREN3MKSOMQ_1_1
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "G:RESTOREN3MKSOMQ_1_1"
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.failover to previous backup
Net view of the PROD host gives this:

restore Disk G:
The command completed successfully.
I am using the HOST command within Oracle Forms 10g on Windows server to copy a pdf file from the application server to a network folder on another Windows server.
The command works fine if I logon to Windows app server and type it. But it doesn't work when it is launched within Oracle forms using HOST. The command looks as follow
net use \\FileServer\e-file /user:usergroup\username password & copy D:\RepTmp\myReport.pdf \\FileServer\e-file\test\myReport.pdf
Oracle forms doesn't give any error message at all but the pdf file never gets there. Even when I map the network folder as "R:" drive on the Windows app server, a simple copy command like this does not work with HOST:
copy D:\RepTmp\myReport.pdf r:\test\myReport.pdf
Oracle Forms server is running as "SYSTEM" on the Windows server. If HOST won't work, is there any other way to copy the file other than using fpt?
I scheduled a RMAN backup job to take FULL database backup to a shared network drive.
RMAN Script used:
RMAN> run 2> { 3> allocate channel ch1 device type disk format '\\BACKUP1635\X$\ARC%U'; 4> backup database plus archivelog; 5> release channel ch1; 6> }
Environment: Windows server 2003 OS and Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Iam facing below error.
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ch1 channel at 02/20/2011 18:19:46 ORA-19504: failed to create file "\\BACKUP1635\X$\ARC1BM55JL8_1_1" ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file OSD-04002: unable to open file O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.
I checked shared network drive and found READ/WRITE access for me. I am able to take RMAN backup in local system without any issue.
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.
I'm running the following and getting access denied errors.What do I need to do to make the recovery files available of the duplicate host?I cataloged the backupsets at the network path of where they are, I don't have space on the drive for the backupset and the restored database once it's done.

Oracle® Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Configuration Guide 10g Release 5 (10.2.0.5.0)
Part Number E10953-1518 Configuring Enterprise Manager for Active and Passive Environments18.1 Using Virtual Host Names for Active and Passive High Availability Environments in Enterprise Manager Database ControlSet Up the Alias for the Virtual Host Name and Virtual IP Address
You can set up the alias for the virtual host name and virtual IP address by either allowing the clusterware to set it up automatically or by setting it up manually before installation and startup of Oracle services. The virtual host name must be static and resolvable consistently on the network. All nodes participating in the setup must resolve the virtual IP address to the same host name. Standard TCP tools similar to nslookup and traceroute commands can be used to verify the set up.
How can i shift my datafiles to other drive like d: , they have become very big. and i also want to take backup on other drive like d: and oracle is installed on c:
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 server install oracle : server 1 and server 2
server 1 run database DB01
i use rman backup DB01 ( this command : BACKUP FULL DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT; ) and move ( The database backup pieces , Controlfile backup piece, The parameter file i.e init.ora file) to server 2 .
At server 2 :
After start database with init.ora file and restore controlfile error :
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 07/22/2011 02:56:04 RMAN-06172: no AUTOBACKUP found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
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)

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;}
Starting restore at 24-FEB-12 using target database control file instead of recovery catalog allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=133 device type=DISK channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore
[code]...
Starting recover at 24-FEB-12 using channel ORA_DISK_1
starting media recovery archived log for thread 1 with sequence 2 is already on disk as file /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PROD/redo02.log archived log file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PROD/redo02.log thread=1 sequence=2 media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01
[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?
