RMAN Active Clone And Corruption
Feb 11, 2011
I am cloning my prod db to test with the rman active clone command. I can successfully clone my DB, but after a few hours or so I see messages in the alert log that I have corrupted blocks in several datafiles. Note, i dont see these messages in my PROD DB therefore I think that DB has no corruption. I have few questions:
1) I was reading tha having tables or indexes set with the NOLOGGING option can cause objects to be unrecoverable. Would this affect my active clone?
2) I know you can either change a DB or tablespace to force logging. Is there a query I can use to determine if the DB is in force logging mode.
ALTER TABLESPACE tablespace_name FORCE LOGGING;
ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
3) Lastly how to check as why my clone DB would have corrupted blocks.
Here is the clone command I am using.
rman catalog=rman/rman@proddb target=sys/sys@proddb << EOT
connect auxiliary sys/sys@clonedb
duplicate target database to clonedb from active database nofilenamecheck
pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11g/dbs/initclonedb.ora ;
exit
EOT

Given facts:
rman is used to backup database A to disk
rman is used to put those disk backups to tape
rman is used to duplicate database A to database B on another host
the duplicate process worked fine before we started testing encryption
the duplicate process worked fine with database A having an encrypted column in one table in a non-encrypted tablespace
Now, database A has an encrypted tablespace with nothing currently in it. The duplicate process now ultimately fails with ORA-19913, unable to decrypt backup.
I am not using encrypted backups, not specifying encrypt or decrypt anywhere in the duplication process. The only thing that is encrypted is the one tablespace in database A. I have the same wallet files on Host A (database A) and Host B (database B). Wallets are open. So why does the duplication process fail because the backup cannot be decrypted?

We are using oracle as database in our application. For high availability we have a cluster of multiple nodes and the data is replicated using oracle streams. All the nodes in the cluster are active. We do not have any concept of stand-by.
Now we are planning to use oracle RMAN for backup and recovery. RMAN user's guide doesn't recommend any strategies for such deployments. It mainly focuses on primary/stand-by deployments.

I'd like to confirm whether its possible to clone a database instance from a RAC cluster to a single server, with an additional issue that the RAC cluster is running Oracle 10g and the single server is running 11g. Can I do that directly or do I need an intermediate step to upgrade the database instace to 11g? Or can I even use exp/imp on RAC?

I have issue with regards to duplication of an active (prod) database to a test database. This is my sql run by RMAN:
SPOOL MSGLOG to '/proddb/u01/app/dupe.log';
CONNECT target sys/oracle;
CONNECT auxiliary sys/oracle@MWTEST;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
RUN {
duplicate target database to MWTEST from active database;
}
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO SBT_TAPE;
It stops however in the middle and wouldn't continue. There is still huge space for the test database (3x the current size of prod database).

I am new to Oracle, like to get clarified on below;
1. From where can we run the RMAN Clone script?
Source DB : PRDDB HOST: PRDHOST
Destination DB: DUPDB HOST: DEVHOST
Are there any constraints on running the RMAN Script from the Source DB Host - PRDHOST?
If I am running it from PRDHOST, do I have to have the initdupdb.ora available on PRDHOST?
What are advantages and disadvantages on running the script on Source & Destination Host?

I have failed to duplicate target db for standby from active db using spfile with the following errors:

The script has successfully created on standby db all controlfiles and also has copied 2 data files DATA01.DBF and DATA02.DBF into the correct location. Then the errors above kicked in and stopped the rman dup process.

I have a sql script where triggers, procedures and functions are written. The triggers are causing db outages and causing problems in the application as well.
I am trying my best but with my low experience and expertise, am not able to make good progress.
Scenario: Course enrollments are inserted, deleted and updated in course_main and course_users table. This is done in gui as well as in background snapshot scheduler in a cron process. Course_main table contains all course enrollments and course_users table has crsmain_pk1 as foreign key.
Its quite a big file and am not sure what should i paste here so am uploading the file in txt.

How can i check for datafile corruption or a datafile error,its some tool like Linux (fsck) command in Oracle that can halp to me to chack a datafile?.
Is any way to isolate the disk region that is corrupted?
If a disk error exist an an ASM disk group how can i isolate the error from that disk group? It's an alternative different to the VALIDATE DATAFILE command in RMAN?I'm using Oracle 11GR2 on a Linux Box.

I am facing issue of block corruption in my exp backup which I am taking through expdp command. (Refer Attachment of Screen shot of error)
I want to know few things about the block corruption.
1. Why the block corruption occur.
2. How can I resolve this.
3. Can I rosolve this by deleting the same record on which this error is coming. if yes then how can I track that row in a table.
I already tried for DB verify utility. It shows the below result.

I am trying user managed recovery using archived and redo log files. I had restored old cold backup, then copy latest control file, redo log files, and archived log files at actual locations. Now I tried to recover database using following steps.
Quote:
connect sys as sysdba
startup mount;
recover database;
auto
After applied some archived files, one of the archived file corrupted and recovery cancel due to error, then i shut down the database. Now i want to copy corrupted archived file from backup and run the recovery further. so my question that should i have to run recovery from the beginning or can i run the recover from the last status of the database.

1) What is PHYSICAL/LOGICAL Corruption.
2) How it occurs.
3) Will RMAN works on both the types of corruption or only Physical (My senior told it works on both).

I was carrying out an experiment in order to crash the database and recover it.
The database was running, I moved the control file to another location and to my surprise the database was still running. I tried issuing checkpoint and transaction but it didn't affect database operations. I tried doing log switch. It completed successfully. According to my understanding and Oracle Certification books database was supposed to crash. But it didn't.
I tried this not only on RHEL, Windows XP but also in Solaris 5.10. The database version is Oracle 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition.

I observed logical corruption in one of the database, while running select on some tables observed ORA-01410: invalid ROWID error. These errors or errors related to this logical corruption are not reported in alert log file.
Since our database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode and regular backups are not happening through RMAN (weekly cold mount point backup to tape),
i was not able to use RMAN to investigate block corruption.
So used DBVERIFY on all datafiles of database to check the consistency of datafiles, and found DBV gives error for one of the datafile - 'Completely zero block found during dbv:' As i mentioned earlier, we are not taking regular backups using RMAN and database is in NOARCHIVE mode.
