Backup & Recovery :: SPFILE Restore From Auto-backup No Catalog
Aug 1, 2012
I need to restore entire database(sp+control+datafile) to new host.I have started the instance with nomount( and it has created a dummy parameter file).Now, I need to fire the command to restore spfile.
RUN
{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE sbt PARMS='...';
RESTORE SPFILE TO PFILE '?/oradata/test/inittrgta.ora' FROM AUTOBACKUP;
SHUTDOWN ABORT;
}
My questions:-
1.How will RMAN find the location of backupset(Since there is controlfile for neither target or catalog database)?
2.How does RMAN reache the backupset in case of a)tape b)disk?

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.

I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 device type disk
4> ;
5> @/home/oracle/rman_scripts/newloc.rman
6> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/system01.dbf';
7> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/undotbs01.dbf';
8> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/sysaux01.dbf';
9> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/users01.dbf';
[code]....
I am getting the following error message.

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?

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$/XXXSRV4-ArcLogs/MTDPROD/RMAN
At new server, I run all these commands:
C:>oradim -new -sid MTDPROD -intpwd mtdprod
Instance created
-- I created the relevant folder hierarchy under <ORACLE_BASE>
directory
-- Then, I created the relevant directories for Oracle Database, as
follows:
--a. Create BDUMP, CDUMP, and UDUMP directories under '<ORACLE_ BASE>
[code]....
By instance, I see a lot of this kind of files:
- FULL_MTDPROD_20110529_386_1.BAK
- INCR_MTDPROD_20110621_480_7.BAK
And only see these two files:
- C-2169285856-20110527-03
- C-2169285856-20110527-04
It seems that this C-2169285856-.... files only were on 27/05/2011 and then no more. However, the FULL_... and INCR_.. files are generated every day. The FULL is generated at the end of each month and INCR is generated every day.
This is the backfull.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;
backup
incremental level 0
format '\192.168.1.149g$XXXSRV4-arclogsMTDPRODRMANFULL_
[code]....
This is the backincr.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;
backup
incremental level 1 cumulative
format '\192.168.1.149g$XXXSRV4-arclogsMTDPRODRMANINCR_
%d_%T_%s_%p.bak'
[code]....

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.

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?

I am having a issue, we are trying to restore our db from control files using Symantec Backup exec, but job fails giving me error go to table spaces select all table spaces and unchecked roll forward.
i am unable to find way to uncheck the table spaces. Here is the complete description.
Cause
The system catalog tablespace "syscatspace" contains all of the system catalog information for the tables. Syscatspace needs to be rolled forward first, and then the other tablespaces must be rolled forward.
Solution
Workaround:
When the restore operation is run from a tablespace level backup, perform the rollforward for the syscatspace tablespace first and then for other tablespaces.
Execute the rollforward operation as a DBA operation. The sequence of the recovery process should be as follows:
1. Select all tablespaces, uncheck the rollforward option and run the restore job.
2. Run the rollforward operation as a DBA initiated operation:
rollforward syscatspace to point in time / end of logs. e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete Tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) online
3. Perform rollforward of all other tablespaces.
e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete tablespace (SYSTOO LSPACE,USERSPACE1) online
Refer to IBM DB2 documentation for more information on DBA-initiated operations.

I take hot backup of database at 10:00 am.After taking the hot backup 50 archived logs are created.Out of 50 i have backed up first 25 of them and at 5:00pm i lose complete database including control,data and the last 25 archived log files that were not backed up.So I am using latest hot backup to recover
I restore the control file backup and datafile backup taken during ho tbackup(10 am) and i issue the command
.......startup mount
>>>>>>>Recover database until cancel
!!!!!!! Apply the available 25 archive logs
then i give "cancel" since I dont have the next redo log .Now in which mode will the database open(Reset logs or no reset logs)

I ran the Full database backup as,
RUN {ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH0 TYPE 'sbt_tape';
BACKUP DATABASE FORCE PLUS ARCHIVELOG FORCE NOT BACKED UP DELETE INPUT;
RELEASE CHANNEL CH0;
}
Then I ran the restore, it failed with Quote:RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log....
When I backup archivelogs and choose to delete the input, it does not delete the multiplexed copy, but the specific file being backed up.So, ideally it should find it in Flah Area or at least in the backed up pieces which are there with it.Still why is it failing?
Also, in recovery, it is deleting the archived log after applying, RMAN does this if we use recover... delete archivelog command.I am using only RECOVER, still in output I can see RMAN deleting the log after it has applied it. WHY?

I've pasted some of the results of an RMAN backup that I ran. It says that it's backing up both the Control File and the SPFILE, but it appears that only one file is being created. Is this correct? How does this work? Are both files combined into the C-3843121877-20120619-00 file?

Also, regarding the below configuration of RMAN - I can change this directory to whatever I want, correct? In other words, is it just the directory where I am putting the backup?

I need to restore a backup of database A from into Database B. Both have the same names. Database B is already up and running.
I have a full rman backup of Database A ( it was taken with a recovery catalog which I don't have access to now as it was deleted ). I just have the full backup pieces including the control files. Is it possible to recover this database into Database B from this stand point.
I was thinking
2. Shutdown database B
3. Mount database B. It has same name as Database A.
4. With RMAN restore controlfile. Will a new controlfile be created from the backup directory I have the rman pieces for the full backup in ?

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
