How one should know whether RMAN is using target database control file or using separate catalog database. Also what one should do if he dont have catalog users credentials.

I am using RMAN with a recovery catalog option on a separate Database. My question is
When we use catalog does RMAN keep the information in Control file of the Target Database as well or only in recovery catalog? I am asking this in case We lost the database which contains the recovery catalog what to do?
Can the target database and the recovery catalog database be the same?

REPOSDB is the catalog database .
We are having 2 DB's on separate servers but both the DB is having same DBID and NAME. Also both the backup is planned to execute from one rman catalog DB.
Will the catalog DB confuse, when we execute backup for both the DB at same.
Database version : 11.1.0.7
Applications R12 (12.1.3)
Operating system : Redhat linux 5.5
I would like to know how to create recovery catalog database to acheive rman backups as control file will not keep backup info longer. This is for our production database what are the requirements before doing so and what happens to configure retension policy to recovery window.
Initially plan of taking backup to disk and later moving backups to tape device
How can be identify a particular archive-log file have backup or not from rman catalog?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn order for the following command to work:
> recover database using backup control file until cancel;
what command must precede it, is it:
> alter database backup control file to trace;
This is what I run
run {
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/dd_oraback/tkprod/%F';
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 22 DAYS;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
[code]...
So /dd_oraback is a Data Domain mount. Not sure if that makes any difference or not.
We're running 10.2.0.4 Database on AIX with no catalog Database.We keep all the backup info in controlfiles only.When we do that backup, we're able to successfully back it up (including archivelogs). But I'm unable to find any records in the controlfiles.

I have a RUN file within a script to duplicate a database. As part of this RUN file I also run the command configure controlfile autobackup off; as part of this RUN file. However, this command has turned off backup of the control file on the AUXILLARY database (i.e. production) as well as the TARGET database (test). Is this supposed to happen?
My run file is:
rman TARGET sys/XXXX@${DB}-SOURCE AUXILIARY /
RUN {
allocate AUXILIARY channel a1 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a2 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a3 type disk;

How to restore database if rman catalog corrupted and we we dont have bacup of catalog db ..all the backup info are stored in catalog db for prod databases.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups. There are are 200+ databases running on OEL, RHEL and Windows. So we planned to host the recovery catalog database on Oracle Active DataGuard 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition on RedHat EL 5.8 version on two physical servers.
The Primary Instance will be in one server in the Primary DC and the Standby Instance will be on another server in another DC. Also all the database datafiles are hosted in ASM Diskgroups on SAN (DATA, FRA, REDO, ARCH diskgroups). Are there any specific RPM/patch/OS user custom/specific settings or configurations needed..?
We have production database and standby database in 11g.
Production db server is taking care by different team even I don't have any access of the production server and I am responsible only for standby server. As of now everything is working fine except database backup on standby server because standby server is not register in catalog.
How to register standby server in catalog for RMAN backup?
We have two databases dev and prod in one server. I would like to connect to target database prod without a recovery catalog. Issued the below command and getting the following error message.
rman target sys/sys_password nocatalog.

I have also created the password files for both the databases and tried but facing the same issues.
Can the control file be used to store scripts which are used to perform backups? I know the RMAN recovery catalog can.
Does the SHOW command display detailed reporting on the RMAN catalog contents other than configuration information?
I want to use rman to restore all my control files, I just did a level 0 incremental backup and ran the following script.
rman <<EOF
connect target sys/sys@GOLD_AUX
connect catalog rman/rman@GOLD_CAT
RUN
{
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
}
EOF
My control files seem to be put back in the correct spot and suggest a way I can restore only my control files and have everything in sync with my datafiles.

RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed
New to oracle FAQ. I'm interested in oracle, waiting to explore more Technic's in 10g with a proper guidance. Hope i'm in the right place.Here is my question.
I need steps for configuring rman cloning with catalog & without catalog.were in prod db the source is in /u01 & in auxiliary db the client want in /u05. how to do it. here i have recreate control file or not
we have a cluster of two nodes having oracle 11G R2 and another single instance server where RMAN is configured and this is backup server.i have created the service between the the target database and backup server and they are working fine i.e tnsping work fine at both sites.Now i have physical backup scripts written at one of cluster node and scripts run at crontab. The backup include full_backup , archive backup etc.
Now all physical backups work fine that is connecting RMAN and then catalog and then complete the backup but the full_backup do not connect catalog and throw this error that it do not know the SID in the connect descriptor. the tnsping output (from target ) is as followed fedb112 # tnsping bkp

why it do not connect to RMAN catalog and use control file instead for backup
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 created catalog and registered with database.My question is do i always need to connect to catalog after connecting to rman.

I want to remove matching dbid's from the rman catalog without compromising te integrity of the catalog. I do however know a single way of removing them and its using the dbid and db_key which in my case are not not unique. The funny thing is they've running normally for a year now.

What is the good practice to maintain RMAN catalog ?
RMAN backup and recovery is fine but to delete old backups it takes a lot of time.
Even if I delete backups manually,RMAN takes a lot of time to delete expired backup command.
What can be done to increase the speed of delete obsolete backup and delete expired backup operations ?
1) have taken backup at target side.
2) through SCP, transferred all the file to auxiliary side.
3) Ran the duplicate command at auxiliary side.
After running the command, i got the below error.

I configured recovery catalog and started Full online backup using EMC Networker. In EMC Networker I set three months policy to keep Backup.I didn't change redundancy.
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
My question is, if I need to restore Backup of last 15 days then I can ?.
database size is 30GB is it recommended for RMAN backup
