Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: Restoring A Backup To A New Database Instance
Sep 4, 2013
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.
i am trying to restore database using rman backup on same machine using command
RMAN> run { 2> set until sequence 23; 3> restore database; 4> recover database; 5> } but it will give me error. RMAN-00571: ======================================================= RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =========== RMAN-00571: ======================================================= RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 03/31/2011 19:18:11 [code]....
In my catalog for the "source" database (rman target db), I have the backupsets for a full database backup ended at Feb. 7, 03:43:37. These are online backups. So, there are archived redo logs being generated while it runs and the following archived redo logs finished at Feb. 7, 04:00:24.
We duplicate databases all the time. So, this is not a new concept for us. The one thing that has changed is that we now back up to disk (using the flashback recovery area) and then later on, initiate a backup to tape. Prior to this go-live, we did all of our backups directly to tape. The catalog does not seem confused. It knows it needs to go to tape because it's beyond the retention for disk backups. The only problem is that it is going to the backup prior to the backupset I want, only for a couple of files.
In the past, when all went directly to tape, we would do a set until time 'Feb. 7, 03:43:37' and it would automatically restore the backupset that finished then and apply archived redo logs as necessary to make a consistent copy. Now, if I use the same model, it's going to a backup set from the prior date for 3 particular files. If I change the time to when the archived redo logs ended their backup, 04:00, it still goes back to the day before, but only for 2 files.
I can list a backup of each specific file and see that the file is in the backupset for which I expect RMAN to pull. How can I figure out a date/time to go back to if not using the method of reviewing the catalog entries and timestamps?
I have a live server on which Oracle 10g Database is running. We take full RMAN Backups everyday. Now we want to restore the RMAN Backup file from the Live server to another machine (which is going to be a test system). I want to restore the latest RMAN backup on the test machine (which is not on network).
When I copy the RMAN backup set in the flash recovery area of the test machine and then use "list backup", the backup set is not listed. I also tried "crosscheck backup" and then "list backup" but still the backup set does not appear. how can I register the backup set from live server into test machine and then restore it.
Can't start the Database and can't backup What is happening now. My database connection is not stable so can't do the backup.I spent two days trying unsuccessfully.
check the following print screen : [test@localhost ~]$ xhost +access control disabled, clients can connect from any host[test@localhost ~]$ [test@localhost ~]$ [test@localhost ~]$ su - rootPassword: [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# su - oracle[oracle@localhost ~]$ [oracle@localhost ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=db11gr2[oracle@localhost ~]$ [oracle@localhost ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1[oracle@localhost ~]$
Just inherited an 8i DB that is being backed up with then common techniques used prior to RMAN. The tablespace is placed in backup mode, an OS copy of the file is taken, the tablespace is returned online, and the process is repeated until all files captured in an usable state.
It is running in archive log mode on a Linux OS and daily backups are initiated through crontab as well as jobs to purge the redo logs after backup. Backup storage recently filled - working since 2004. Not bad!
I have documented procedures for using these files with an operational 8i DB. Will I be able to restore these files directly into an 11g environment? What is the implication of 8i having DBA managed "RBS" (roll back segments) vs. 11g?
I just duplicate my PRODUCTION database to TEST database (11.2.0.1 both) on windows 7.
I just create a backup from PRODUCTION:
RMAN> backup full database format ='C:Usersmy_usermiBBDDflash_recovery_are aTESTdatabase_%U';and controlfile backup:
RMAN> backup current controlfile format='C:Usersmy_usermiBBDDflash_recover y_areaTESTCONTROL_FILE_%U';now i'm trying to restore this backup into TEST with this script:
RMAN CONNECT TARGET / STARTUP NOMOUNT; SET DBID 486238190; #DBID of TEST database RUN
[Code]....
but i'm having a similar error when i tried to duplicate both databases ( post -->Error duplicate databases fallo de la recuperaci¾n del medio fÝsico canal liberado: c1

Controlfile was restored correctly. what am I doing wrong?
I've read a lot about the different types of backup available with Oracle (hot and cold backup). However, I was thinking of a different way of performing this task. I'm currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Oracle 11g Standard Edition. I'd like to schedule an entire backup of my server via the utility "Windows Server Backup" (available for free).That way, I could recover my entire server with all the programs and files in case the latter crashes.I'm wondering if this solution could be used as a way of backing up (and recovering) the Oracle database. Should I still set up a regular hot backup with the Archivelog mode enabled in case some operations/transactions were being done at the time of the crash (for the data integrity)?
we are using dataware house of huge amount of data I want to take backup using rman so that I restore oracle instance and specific tablespace only not full database
While connecting to target database from stand database. I am getting below error.

Backup-Based Duplication Without a Target and a Recovery Catalog Connection?
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?
I 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).
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?
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:
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?
One of database, while taking backup using RMAN, it failed with the following error:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on DISK4 channel at 11/28/2012 09:47:29 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.
am trying to run rman backup plus archivelog TO tape disk my rman configuration settings are as seen below
RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2; CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; [code].....
get the following error when i do this, RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on C3 channel at 01/03/2013 11:33:45 ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ksfdfetch1], [], [], [], [], [], [],
,I am new to Oracle database administration i am working on a 24*7 tool .the tool will work as a non stop.this is a standalone tool.there wont be any one who will be taking care of the database.I need to design a backup statergyNeed to take backups on timly basis.Since the database can't be go offline cold backup's can not be useenhot backup needs to implemented.what are steps needs to do for hot backup.Is there are some pre defined scripts to run the backup.
I tried to clone a 2 node rac database to single instance non rac database using existing backup. I have not used connectivity to target or catalog. rman duplicate finished with below messages:
rman auxiliary sys/******@dbracdup RMAN> duplicate database to dbrac spfile backup location '/oracle/backup'; ... ... Finished recover at 25-JUL-12 Segmentation fault
And the database was in mount stage, and when i tried to open database it failed with below error:
SQL> alter database open; alter database open * ERROR at line 1: ORA-19838: Cannot use this control file to open database .
I'm using database 11g & restore backup from another location.

I want to ask if I restore a control file from backup of say day2 and I recover till day1 using RMAN script, then what will be the state of my database? I mean day2 control file may be having SCN-Day2, and I am instructing RMAN to recover till past point in time that is SCN-Day1.

I would need to restore now from #8 ( full backup ) and #9 to #14 ( incremental backup )
Tell me the "restore command" to achieve the output?
Can I register a database say MYDB in datacenter1 with two different catalogs i.e., I have one rman catalog a datacenter1 location and another rman catalog in datacenter2 location. So, can I register MYDB to rman catalogs at datacenter1 and datacenter2. If, so how can we keep rman catalogs at datacenter1 and datacenter2 in sync. For MYDB rman backups I just want to use local rman catalog which is datacenter1. But I just want to keep a redundant copy of the rman catalog.
