RMAN :: 06024 - No Backup Or Copy Of Control File Found To Restore
May 31, 2013
I have installed oracle 11.2 on virtual machine and made two copy of this vm i.e vm1 and vm2...i have taken fullbackup with rman on vm1 and autobackup of control file.Now i want to restore this backup on vm2, for this i have configured channel and other setting. run following command
catalog start with '\server3database_backup
manC-3507808503-20130531-00';
"C-3507808503-20130531-00" is the name of control file autobackup.
RESTORE CONTROLFILE ;
it gives me error RMAN-06496: must use the TO clause when the database is mounted or open...then i use following command
RESTORE CONTROLFILE to 'C:oracleAdministratororadataslate';
then it gives me error RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore...how to restore control file to vm2

I have a problem with my control file [URL].........
What I did, I have a duplicate of the database with the invalid control file, let's call it DUMDB. I am using my control file and no recovery-catalog-db.
I recreated the control file. Now everything is working fine, new backups can be taken, restores can be made. I just need to restore a backup tagged with "LASTDEV". The control file for this backup is the invalid one. So I need a restore WITHOUT restoring the control file.
I did:
CODERMAN> catalog backuppiece '/u03/flash_recovery_area/DUMDB/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_LASTDEV_75fmkllw_.bkp';
cataloged backup piece
backup piece handle=/u03/flash_recovery_area/DUMDB/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_LASTDEV_75fmkllw_.bkp RECID=1 STAMP=761604017

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 did a hot back up like this :
--check that it is in archivelog mode
SQL> archive log list
-- the data files that will need to be backup by OS command
SQL> select sum(bytes) from dba_data_files;
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
-- note archivelog sequence before starting the hot backup (need to back the archivelog generated during the backup)
SQL> select thread#, max (sequence#) from v$log group by thread# order by thread#;
-- begin the backup
SQL> alter database begin backup;
-- use OS command to copy the datafiles
-- remember to end the backup mode
SQL> alter database end backup;
-- archive the current online redo log files
SQL> alter system archive log current;
-- REMEBER to note the MAXIMM online-redo sequence number
select thread#, max (sequence#)from v$log group by thread# order by thread#;
-- backup the control files
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to '/oradump/hbackup/O11R2/controlbk.ctl' reuse;
-- backup any archive-redo logd generated during the backup
-- select from the v$archived_log mode
-- anything thing that appear under this view is safe to backup as long you don't backup the current archive log file that is being written to.simulated a scenario, if 1 of my multiplex control is damage due to media failure ( i just delete it, seem like i got to shutdown first before i can delete it, using window bases oracle, not too sure linux allow you to delete the control file like this)
To what i understand one can restore a missing control file if you have multiplex it. so I did this :
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
-- while it is being down, i use OS command to copy a good copy of the control file to the missing controlfile location + name.
-- startup

You have tried to move one or more copies of control file at the different location when Oracle database was up and running.
You have tried to restore from database backup but your backup has not taken properly. It may taken when database is up and running.
Your database or system got corrupt/damaged during updation was in process.

I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?

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.

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.

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 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 had a database on an old P4 running but the motherboard got fried. I was able to recover all the data files (.ctl and *.dbf) plus the redo logs (.log). There is no export or backup taken - I have old ones, but I need to recover the latest which only existed in the data files.
I now have Oracle installed on a new P5 machine and was wondering if it is possible to use these data files in the new database? If so, how do I go by restoring the data files?
Both the P4 and P5 where running Red Hat Linux.

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_

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?

create a backupset, tag it, and restore it. You could say that what I'm trying to achieve is analogous to a flashback, but rather than specifying a timestamp, I'd like to simply restore the entire db to exactly what was there when the tagged backup was taken.Here is the RMAN script I am using for the backup procedure:
run {
#allocate channels
#ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
#backup database
BACKUP FULL DATABASE TAG='latest' PLUS ARCHIVELOG TAG='latest' DELETE INPUT;
[code]....
I'd like to take these backups in online mode, and I've tried taking both a consistent and inconsistent backup modifying the above script.Additionally, I'm using the following restore script to try to revert the database to the state when the backup set was taken (and am testing the data being restored by deleting some data entries after taking the backup):
run {
#shutdown db (should be done already)
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
#mount db
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
#show RMAN settings
SHOW ALL;
[code]...
When performing the restore, I dont see the data backed up, rather I see the latest data still in the database. why the state of the db is not getting reverted to the backupset with tag='latest'.Finally, here below I've listed the rman settings for reference:
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ### are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default

I have to test a hot rman backup on testing environment and I have some doubts.
STAGE
Server 1
production database (linux)
backup folder on cifs share windows server
Server 2
testing database (linux)
First I installed linux on same network, I gave it access to cifs backup resource, then I installed the same database version than production environment, then I create a typical database with only same database production name. Also the Linux partitions between linux servers are different.
What oracle procedure must I apply?
