I have seen in many RMAN backup scripts that a manual log switching is performed in first line of the script? What is it purpose, just to write changes needed to reconstruct the DML/DDL statements to online redo logfiles and start the archiving process if db is running in archive log mode?

Is this possible to recover a schema using RMAN bckup
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC (2 nodes) + ASM on AIX 7.1
I am backing up my Oracle database through RMAN to ASM disk groups..I have a requirement to backup also to an OS file systems. So what I did that I mounted an NFS across the 2 nodes of my RAC database.I am running backup from node 2 only.My issue now is that I am facing a real performance issue when backing up to NFS.My question is there any way to take an RMAN backup to local file system on node 2? or in other way what are the options to take RMAN backups to an OS file system?
I tried to copy from ASM to OS file system but i was advised to backup to file system using the format command.what should i do in such case? since I am facing performance issue to backup to NFS.
I took backup of Datafiles , archivelog files and controlfile through RMAN. Now, i want 3 backup file will created as a output of RMAN operation. It would be :
1 backupfile for all the datafiles
1 backupfile for all the archivelog files
1 backupfile for controlfile.
It have to be regardlessly whatevr my DB size is. It it possible to do so. How i can can write rman script to accomplish the task.
During the last week, we faced many network issues that prevent our RMAN files to be copied completely. Backup team offer a temporary solution that we have to generate only one backup file to be transferred from source to destination (tape).

7 of days ago Full backup has been taken to disk due to issues with tape devices.3 days ago tape devices have been fixed and we switched to CommVault managed tape backups. CommVault calls RMAN with following command:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'

These backups done successfully.Then archivelog backup taken similar way.But when I issue RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY; RMAN starts with Full backup set, though newer Incremental Level 0 ones are available.Why it does not use these newer ones?
Oracle 10.2.0.5 for Linux on IBM POWER
I have an issue with restoring a RMAN backup that i have with me to a new database instance. What i have with me are: 1. Backup of SPFile.
(O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)3. Full database backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
I have received these files from a customer environment and I need to restore these to a new database instance in a local machine. I have given a attempt as follows (in Oracle 10g): 1, Created a new database instance (Test75) using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant2. SET ORACLE_SID = Test753. Connected to this instance using RMAN4. Tried to restore the SPFILE from the received BKP file.I am getting errors and cannot proceed. I am not sure whether I am executing the correct steps.
One of database, while taking backup using RMAN, it failed with the following error:

ORA-19566: exceeded limit of 0 corrupt blocks for file <faile_name>
I used DBV to identify the number of blocks corrupted.
I referred the Metalink iD 457422.1 & 336133.1. But it did not work since the corrupted blocks have got object in it.
I could able to find the object as well. it is one of the table in the datafile.
I used 'ALTER TABLE ... MOVE..' command to see if that works. But again getting the same error while taking the backup and corrupted blocks still exists.

Just wanted to know if I do
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Then it archives the current redo and switches to next redo.
If again switching is done, then just wanted to know if redo is archived when its size is less than log_buffer, then is it resumed when it is switched into next time or after archiving it creates a empty redo file and then use it?
I have restored all datafile to new location (that is ASM) earlier it was on file system using set new name command (RMAN). Now when i'm trying to update control file with swicth command it is prompting error. Version is 11g R2.

We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremental level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Level 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?
We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable.
How i can manually allocate channel for my backups going to tape?
For disk backups i can do and it work...
RUN
{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'J:dbname\%U';
restore database preview;
}
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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am making incremental backups via RMAN, the backups are staying at disk. And the infrastructure team will copy this files backups to tape. And they want delete the files that will staying in disk via RMAN. Until now it's ok.
But and if I need of backups that stay on tape, it's possible make a recovery of deleted files by rman.
I have problem on using "delete obsolete" in RMAN.
First, let describe my backup configuration.
1. Full backup every Monday (17-Oct, 10-Oct, 3-Oct, 26-Sep)
2. Incremental backup for other days
3. Enable autobackup of control file
4. Backup archive log every day
5. RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS
6. Execute "Delete obsolete" every day
7. control file is used instead of catalog
The results observed:
1. Backup of control files older than 30 days will be deleted
2. Backup of archive log files older than 30 days will be deleted.
3. Backup of datafiles older than ~14 days but before 30 days are also DELETED.
In my example, the backup of datafiles created at 26-Sep is deleted at 16-Oct.
I tried "restore database validate until time "sysdate-22"" at 17-Oct. And RMAN reported "datafile xx will be created automatically during restore operation". It seems that RMAN failed to do restoration up to 22 days ago. The retention policy I set seems not effective on datafile backups.
I checked view v$backup_set and the "Keep" is "No" and "Keep until" is empty.
The only thing I can think of, is the settings of "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME". It is marked "7" in the Oracle, which is less than the retention. But I suppose this only causes the backup not deleted, but NOT be deleted earlier.

understanding rman scn based Backup Algorithm .. In SCN based backup do rman generate backup from archivelogs ???
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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)
My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.
