Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Hot Backup Plus Archive Log Files?
Jan 11, 2008I had a production db with archive logging enabled
SQL> select name,status
2 from v$archived_log;
NAME STATUS
---------------------------------------- -
D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_13.DBF A
D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_14.DBF A
D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_15.DBF A
[code]...
So i need to restore archivelogs by using sequence
RMAN>RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28;
So the restore is completed successfully
So its very hard to monitor archivelog files
i feel i should have included all archivelog files while taking RMAN backup
RMAN >backup database plus archivelog all delete input;
but the problem is my RMAN backup is already 360GB in size and it takes 4-5 hrs to complete .so i need to schedule RMAN backup at one time (e.g sunday) ,delete the archivelog files older than sundayand now schedule the archivelog backup at another day (e.g wed &sat)
my question is where i have to change my script to backup all avaialbe archivelog files if old archivelog files are deleted at os level?
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c1 type disk;
3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:oracleackuplog_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;
5> release channel c1;

Backup Of Archive Files
Dec 1, 2010I am running the following command to backup my archive logs and want to keep at least two hours of .arc files on disk.
rman < connect target login/password
connect catalog login/password
show all;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup filesperset 5 archivelog until time 'sysdate-2/24'
format $FILE_DEST_ARCH
delete input ;
resync catalog;
EOT
On some occassions, there will not be any archive logs that meet this criteria and I get the following error:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specificati
on does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog
Is there anything I can do to the rman command above that will prevent this error from happening but yet keeping same functionality?

ShadowProtect To Backup Oracle Databases?
Mar 22, 2013if you are using ShadowProtect to backup your Oracle databases. What are your experiences and the pros and cons in using ShadowProtect as the one and only backup/recovery tools for Oracle databases? Can the potential of ShadowProtect replaces the commonly use Oracle backup/recovery tools?
The reason why I raise this question is because my boss has the idea that ShadowProtect is THE best backup/recovery tools. Personally I don't think so, because there can be cases where we only need to recover the database and not the whole OS.

View 5 Replies View RelatedProperly Removing Old Temp Files From ASM Storage
Dec 16, 2010The other day, we had a query run amok in our 2-node production cluster. The 3 temp files for the temp tablespace were all still set to autoextend unlimited, something I forgot to change after a recent upgrade. I created 3 new temp files and tried to delete the huge temp files. I did this from sqlplus with this commad:
ALTER TABLESPACE PSTEMP DROP TEMPFILE '+DATA/isis/tempfile/pstemp.291.641298061';
The huge files are still in ASM storage. dba_temp_files reports that the status of them is AVAILABLE but they have no RELATIVE_FNO. Grid Control reports their status as OFFLINE and their size as 0. They are actually close to 20 GB each.
I tested the above alter statement in two test instances, also RACed with ASM storage and the temp files were successfully deleted, but they were much smaller in size. At this point, how do I delete the three 20GB files from ASM in our production instance? Why didn't they delete the first time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMoving Trace Files To Archive Location?
Aug 20, 2012I am using Oracle RAC 11gR2.I am planing to move my old trace files to an archive location.
I have the below questions concerning the users and groups used by Oracle RAC when moving the trace files.It is related to the permissions but it is about oracle behavior.
The trace files of database (oracle user) are created as below:
284 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 283571 Aug 20 18:08 PPRD1_mmon_13893716.trc
4 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 125 Aug 20 18:10 PPRD1_gcr0_11730998.trm
4 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 2833 Aug 20 18:10 PPRD1_gcr0_11730998.trc
580 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 588489 Aug 20 18:12 PPRD1_lmhb_15859792.trm
[code]....
when moving the files using the oracle user it will be created as oracle:oinstall and not oracle:asmadmin since asmadmin is not a group of the oracle user.
1. How oracle created my trace and log files with permission oracle:asmadmin?
2. How should I move these files? I moved it using the Oracle user and it was created as oracle:oinstall with Operating system error "unable to duplicate owner and mode after move"

Automatic Storage Management :: Oracle ASM With Nimble Storage?
Mar 1, 2013My organisation is currently discussing different storage options for the database storage. Our production database is nearly 2TB and we do not want to continue with the existing NetApp storage (we use a 2 node RAC running 11.2.02 with nfs filesystem from NetApp filer).
We were looking at different options and came across Nimble Storage, they are very fast growing company aiming mid-range storage customers. The initial talks and demonstration looked very promising in terms of IO performance (they claim 40,000 - 60,000 IOPs for their CS400 series Nimble Storage array) and other options they are providing but we understand that majority of their customers are using it for VDI and other infrastructures.
They have demonstrated us using if for Oracle database with ASM storage over iSCSI LUNs. We are yet to do the POCs and benchmarking.
Has anyone come across Nimble Storage for running Oracle databases?

Automatic Storage Management :: Place Voting Files In Quorum Or Regular Failgroup?
Oct 29, 2013About the concept of quorum failgroup ORACLE says:QUORUM disks, or disks in quorum failure groups, cannot contain any database files,the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR), or dynamic volumes. However, QUORUM diskscan contain the voting file for Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS). Oracle ASMuses quorum disks or disks in quorum failure groups for voting files wheneverpossible.
To sum up, i think the different between a regular failgroup and a quorum failgroup is a quorum failgroup can only contain vote files and a regular one can contains multiple kinds of files.So i didn't see any advantage to place voting files on a quorum failgroup than on a regular one. Why Oracle introduce the concept of quorum failgroup?

Backup & Recovery :: Restore DB From Control Files Using Symantec Backup Exec
Jun 10, 2013I 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.
Backup & Recovery :: Changing Location Of Data And Temp Files From Auto-backup Of Control-file?
Jan 26, 2012I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 device type disk
4> ;
5> @/home/oracle/rman_scripts/newloc.rman

While testing on several systems, I found that the above-mentioned query picked up some redo-logs (*.rdo) I can only assume that these redo logs were used for a DB recovery.

I have a few questions:
1) Is my assumtion correct about the .rdo files in the v$archived_logs table
2) I would hate to add special logic and look for something like name substr(name, *.arc) (pardon the syntax). Therefore, is there a way to get rid of these *.rdo files?
