Error While Backup And Restore Database To New Host?
Jul 22, 2011
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
We want to keep the Guaranteed restore point for week but unfortunately we don't have enough flash space in the server. Is it possible to backup the flashback log(restore point logs) through rman and send bkp file to tape? how to restore the database in new server until Guaranteed restore point.
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'
I have oracle 10g installed on my system and name of the database is "ORCL" for which I have schedule the incremental backup everyday. Mentioned below are the steps followed

Now I want to restore this backup to some other system with new database. How to do this recovery to some other database on new system.
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 ?
I've got a database I need to restore from a cold backup, but I don't have a copy of the multiplexed members of the redo groups - each group has 2 members, and we've only got a backup of the first.
I know this won't stop the database from starting, and I can recreate them, but for ease can you copy and rename a redo log file from a multiplexed copy to correct location like you can with a control file?
We have 11gR2 2 node RAC on Linux. ASM and OMF is used for database. The database on it is backed up using RMAN. We want to test the RMAN backup by restoring it to a new database on same server.
Can we restore a database if we have only the datafiles available? The database has been dropped but we have just the datafiles with NO system, sysaux,users and undo datafiles that were saved after taking the database offline and then dropping the database. I know this is strange but if possible, I want to see if we can retrieve some of the data from those datafiles to another database. BTW, There is no backup available for this database except the dbf files on OS.
I have a task which is to get an export of an account.Easy, you will say, use Data Pump but I have not the database only a complete RMAN backup of it (including control file and spfile). Easy once again, restore the database and export but I have not the space to restore the complete database.
all segments of the account are in a couple of tablespaces I know the name (and I know I have space enough to restore them).
Unfortunately, I don't know the other tablespace names (but of course SYSTEM and SYSAUX), in particular I don't know the name of the undo tablespace and, of course, I have no connection with the source database and no way to know these tablespace names.
So here's the question, how can I restore part of the database (SYSTEM, SYSAUX, undo tablespace and a couple of other ones) from a complete backup without knowing the name of the undo tablespace and of the tablespaces I don't need?
We have a database server running oracle 12G on linux which is the production then we have a DR using the same version of DB and linux, I want to restore from tape into the DR from the production backup. the UNIX admin has restored already from tape the rman backup, i would like to know what are the steps to restore the backup from tape, also the DR database server was created identical like production using the same spfile etc.
were do i copy restored file into on the DR server? also then in RMAN do i just start the DR database and run the command restore database? what else do i need?
I have taken cold back-up of a complete database using below rcv from a server.
RMAN> connect target / run{ set command id to 'bkp_EMCPROD_db'; allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape' parms="BLKSIZE=1048576, ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)"; backup current controlfile format 'ct_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s.ctl'; backup database format 'db_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s_p%p.db'; backup current controlfile format 'ct_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s.ctl'; release channel c1; }
I need to restore this back-up on another server of the same Database Name. Below is the rcv which my sr. dba asked me to look into for the restore.
/* From the new server to restore the back-up */ RMAN> connect target "rman/xxxxx@emcprod" connect auxiliary / run { set until time "to_date('Nov 03 2011 19:00:00','Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"; allocate auxiliary channel c1 type 'sbt_tape' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.sacsun8.opt)"; restore database; }
I am new in oracle. I want to restore my database in oracle 10g enterprise. Actually i have a backup file(.bkp file) from oracle 10g xe and now i wanna restore in oracle 10g enterprise.
Question: does oracle recover past the scn mentioned in the control file or do you need recover using backup control file for it? No specific scn,time specified.
Scenario: Restore database on new server + copy archivelogs from original to minimize data loss. Backup : 5 AM Archivelogs: 7 AM
New server: Configure dummy instance Restore spfile from tape Restore controlfile from tape: SCN 5AM Restore database (no scn specified) from tape: : SCN 5AM Copy archivelogs from old server to archivelog new location: SCN 7AM. Recover database open database -> SCN 5AM or 7AM?
Does it recover till SCN 5AM (controlfile) or SCN 7AM (latest scn in copied archivelog)
Is there anyway to backup Flashback Data Archive (FBDA) data and can be restore on new database. I cannot find Oracle's document or any document explain about backing up this data.
I am doing some test, seeking your expert opinion.I have a database and have the following backup strategy.
1) Database running in archive log mode. 2) First I backup all the table space excluding one tablespace 'DP_TS_LOB'.
RMAN> CONFIGURE EXCLUDE FOR TABLESPACE 'DP_TS_LOBS'; RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE;
3) I take a separate Backup of DP_TS_LOB tablespace.
RMAN> BACKUP TABLESPACE DP_TS_LOB;
4) I backup all the archived redo logs.
RMAN> SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT'; RMAN> backup archivelog all delete input;
Now I wanted to restore the database from the backup excluding the DP_TS_LOB and bring it up and running. DP_TS_LOB is huge and used only on certain work flows. I don't want the database to be down until we restore DP_TS_LOB. I wanted to restore all the other tablespace and bring the database up operational and restore and recover the DP_TS_LOB tablespace datafile's in background taking the datafiles of DP_TS_LOB tablespace offline.I tried the following but unsuccessful.
RMAN> restore controlfile to 'g:ctl_bckctl_01' from autobackup; RMAN> restore spfile to 'g:ctl_bckspfile' from autobackup; RMAN> sql "create PFILE = ''G:ctl_bckPFILE'' from SPFILE = ''G:ctl_bckSPFILE''";
Update the new parameter with new control file name. Copied the control file and parameter file to corresponding location.
First I assumed "Recover Database" will only recover online database files. But got the following error.
RMAN> recover database;
Starting recover at 27-JUL-11 using channel ORA_DISK_1 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 07/27/2011 18:23:03 RMAN-06094: datafile 8 must be restored
Then I tried recovering data file separately, but same error.
RMAN> recover datafile 1;

I have facing problem while taking backup on Windows 7 client of Oracle 11g R2 database. I have installed oracle 11gR2 for windows on windows 7 machine. I have created a directory like below in database.
On Database Server
SQL> create directory win_expdp_dir as 'd:expimp';
Directory created.
SQL> grant read, write on directory win_expdp_dir to lab;
Grant succeeded.
On Windows 7 machine (client machine)
D:appproduct11.2.0client_1BIN>expdp lab/lab@wbdata.wbh-db11g DIRECTORY=win_expdp_dir DUMPFILE=lab.dmp LOGFILE=lab.log Export: Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon May 2 12:51:44 2011 Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

I have give all sharing rights on d:expimp directory. My main question is why i'm getting this error. Is there any thing missing in setup. how to take export on windows 7 client.
I am trying to clone a database on another server with different direcory structure. So that path on the source db server are /u04 whereas on on target db server it would be /u03.
Since this I am testing it on small database initially I have kept all datafiles, backup and archivelogs at /u04 and /u03 on the source and target db servers respectively Now I have copied the backups from source db server to target and since path is changed, I cataloged it
However during restore I am getting
Quote:ORA-19870: error reading backup
Here are the session details

after i backup my database,i check the alert log ,i found the following errror:

The controlfiles were corrupted due to some issue. So, I had to restore the recent backed up control file and then restore the database.
The weird thing which I have noticed is that. I tried backing up Yesterday's Control file. So, I would say that the backup pieces it should pick should be from yesterday. however, the backup pieces are getting restored from last week's backup.
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?
