FIRST Question?
I have main database Server which is located on Server A, now I have to take the RMAN Backup of Server A and then shift the complete database on new Server B.
I am confused whether to use Backup command with AS COPY option or take the backup as backup sets. Which are the best option that I can use for the RMAN Backup.
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.
How to import the data from RMAN Incremental backups to a different platform. Which is the best way to implement this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use kill -9 <pid> and kill the job and then i check ps -ef | grep rman and get no process of RMAN but when i login into Enterprise Manager and click on performance tab so i see the graph of RMAN (yellow in colour) which is still continue and means the RMAN backup is in progress , then i checked the top consumer page so there i see backup incr datafile(SYS$USERS)(26.8%), so i want to down this RMAN backup.i also used the this query to check the RMAN job running or not
select * from V$SESSION where MODULE like 'rman%'; it came up with no rows
n my last post I asked abt the issues that I was facing while restoring the full backup of RMAN on a new server. I mentioned the steps as well, Now my Question is what If I want to restore the incremental backup on the new server?
What all steps do I have to follow after restoring the zero level backup on a new server.
7 of days ago Full backup has been taken to disk due to issues with tape devices.3 days ago tape devices have been fixed and we switched to CommVault managed tape backups. CommVault calls RMAN with following command:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/bin/simpana/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CV_mmsApiVsn=2,CV_channelPar=ch1,ThreadCommandLine=BACKUP -jm 45 -a 2:71 -cl 9 -ins 9 -at 22 -j 294321 -jt 294321:4:1 -bal 1 -rcp 0 -ms 1 -data -ma 89 -cn oraclehost -vm Instance001)"
TRACE 0;
setlimit channel ch1 maxopenfiles 8;
backup
incremental level = 0
filesperset = 32
database
include current controlfile spfile ;
}
exit;
These backups done successfully.Then archivelog backup taken similar way.But when I issue RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY; RMAN starts with Full backup set, though newer Incremental Level 0 ones are available.Why it does not use these newer ones?
Oracle 10.2.0.5 for Linux on IBM POWER
Any procedure which we can initiate an incremental backup without Level 0 backup.

I know that the DB INCR is an INCR 0 backup but is there some way query I can join with my example above to tell me this is INCR 0 or FULL BKUP?
I was thinking maybe setting "COMMAND_ID" some text like INCR 0 or INCR 1 or FULL BKUP. Does that sound feasible

Tell me the "restore command" to achieve the output?
We are using Oracle 10g R2 in Windows Server 2003. I'm trying to restore a database in a new server, using RMAN backups.
Our external consultant configured RMAN scripts for full and incremental backups but never tested them . Since he just doesn't show up, I'm forced to tested them, restoring the whole database in a new server.
My instance is named MTDPROD, and I will create all from scratch.
At current server, RMAN files are generated in:
//192.168.1.149/g$/XXXSRV4-ArcLogs/MTDPROD/RMAN
At new server, I run all these commands:
C:>oradim -new -sid MTDPROD -intpwd mtdprod
Instance created
-- I created the relevant folder hierarchy under <ORACLE_BASE>
directory
-- Then, I created the relevant directories for Oracle Database, as
follows:
--a. Create BDUMP, CDUMP, and UDUMP directories under '<ORACLE_ BASE>
[code]....
By instance, I see a lot of this kind of files:
- FULL_MTDPROD_20110529_386_1.BAK
- INCR_MTDPROD_20110621_480_7.BAK
And only see these two files:
- C-2169285856-20110527-03
- C-2169285856-20110527-04
It seems that this C-2169285856-.... files only were on 27/05/2011 and then no more. However, the FULL_... and INCR_.. files are generated every day. The FULL is generated at the end of each month and INCR is generated every day.
This is the backfull.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;
backup
incremental level 0

I am attempting to use an rman backup form our live server to restore live data over an existing dev database with a different name. I cant use the duplicate command as the versions of oracle are different (10.2.0.4 EE on live, 10.2.0.5 SE on dev) So I copied the backup sets including an autobackup control file onto the dev server. I set the ORACLE_SID to the DEV version (SUN43DEV) and startup nomount and restore controlfile from the backup location. This works and restored the live controlfile. However, I then wanted to mount the database and catalog the backupsets before making a note of the last archivelog etc and restoring the backup with set newname options. But when I try to mount the database I am told that the database has a different name (SUN43 is not SUN43DEV). I read somewhere that I need to set the ORACLE_SID to the live value (SUN43) and restore as that, then use nid TO RESET THE DBID and DATABASE NAME. However, my tnsnames on DEV has no entry for the live database, and we do not have any service defined through ORADIM for the live instance on the dev server. Should I be creating an entry in DEV tnsnames that actually looks at the LIVE server? or do I need to create a service and tns entry etc for SUN43 on my DEV server pointing at the DEV server I have not seen any mention in instructions of creating a service or adding the entry to tnsnames, or indeed adding an entry to the listener for the original live sid. I am worried that if I actually point to the live server then the restore would be attempted on the live server not dev even though I am running it from Dev.
Also, do I need to drop the existing database on DEV before I restore or will RMAN just restore over the top of it?
Finally, if I try to add an entry to the LISTENER.ORA for the new sid, when I stop and start the listener, or reload, the entry is not recognised. I also noticed that the existing SUN43DEV entry is not in there either, yet I can still use that SID - I am assuming that is because the listener is not being used and the sid is recognised from the existence of the service in windows services instead?
understanding rman scn based Backup Algorithm .. In SCN based backup do rman generate backup from archivelogs ???
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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)
We are going to implement oracle 11g. Now I wanna use rman to take the incremental backup in the follwing way:
Level-0 backup weekly, in the way:
run
{
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
BACKUP incremental level 0 DATABASE
TAG 'Weekly_full' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input
TAG 'Weekly_full_arc' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_arc_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
[code].....
and RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW is set to 10 days, so that there is no chance that i will delete expired backup before taking backup.
Now my question is,
1) Is the way is correct that there is no wrong configuration. My main concern is about archive log, is it correct?
2) As i am deleting archive log files with the backup and after that the expired archive log backup is also deleted, so is there any chance of failure in recovery.
3) here how archive log backup will work with 10 days retention policy.
We are doing RMAN Duplicate set until time to refresh daily our test database for our developers and it taking long time to finish. We noticed on the restore log that RMAN was using a day old old backup pieces to refresh the test database and don't immediately use the latest backup pieces instead.
For additional details here's the rman duplicate command we are using which we run daily(mon-sat) at 4am once daily full backup on production completed.
RMAN Duplicate commands:
run
{
set until time "to_date(to_char(sysdate,'Mon DD YYYY') || ' 04:00:00', 'Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;
duplicate target database to testdb;
}
exit
Is there a way on how to let RMAN use the latest backup pieces instead?

Does the full cold backup of rman include online redologs?
So that at the time of recovery when i restore the database the online redologs also restored to that point?
Would like to check how do we check the current value for limit channel in rman backup..
eg set limit channel d1 kbytes 2024800;
We have configured tivoli and getting the below error while execute rman backup.

Tape streaming is not happening while performing RMAN tape backup. On investigation, you find that it is not because of the incremental backup or the empty file backup and that RMAN is sending data blocks to the tape drive fast enough.What could be a solution to make tape streaming happen during the backup?
A.Configure backup optimization
B.Configure the channel to increase MAXOPENFILES
C.Configure the channel to increase the capacity with the RATE parameter
D.Configure the channel to adjust the tape buffer size with the BLKSIZE option
We have the requirement of performance testing of our proposed production platform, for this i am asked to take RMAN backup of clean position (Say Day0 or baseline backup) and restore it multiple times for few rounds of testing. My question is after 1st restore (with set until time of day0 position) if i open the database with resetlogs, would i be able to restore same clean backup again? I am using control file in the environment instead of RMAN catalog database. What i can do to make this scenario work? I am already in preperation of setting rman catalog database.

So /dd_oraback is a Data Domain mount. Not sure if that makes any difference or not.
As part of an incremental backup I recover copies of the tablespaces. These by default are stored in the disk backup location diskgroup. Is it possible to move these copies to another disk group / location whilst still backing up to the default disk backup location diskgroup. I know how to do it with the main datafiles but not with the copies.
e.g.
Current situation:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +FRA
New setup to be:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +BACKUP
