  • How to recover a cold backup (Oracle 9i)

    Hello,
    We got the following situation, one of our clients wants to switch from Oracle 9i to Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
    Our client is located in Singapore and we operate in Belgium, they have sent us an external HD with a media/cold backup of their database.
    We also got both the database name and the passwords for the database.
    In order to get this database available I have taken the following steps:
    1)Created an Virtual Machine with Windows XP SP3,
    2)Installed Oracle 9i on this VM,
    3)Created a database using the database name and passwords given by the client.
    Now I want to recover our clients database, how do I do this.
    I know there texts about it, but I need a step for step guide to do this (that's the way I learn by seeing how its done and then reproduce it)
    Thanks for any response

    After some calls and putting pressure on our client IT I've been able to find out that there either using 11 or 10g.
    Also found out that the name they gave me is not the name they use
    So I followed the instructions on [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/create.htm#1000691] , I did find some mistakes in the page
    I got the following create database statement
    CREATE DATABASE dbname
    USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY pz6r58
    USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY y1tz5p
    LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('D:\dbname\redo01.log') SIZE 100M,

    UNDO TABLESPACE undotbs
    DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\undotbs01.dbf'

    ORA-27038: file exists
    OSD-04010: <create> option specified, file already exist
    So what did I do wrong, altough I'm guessing I copied the original files to early
    [code="sql"]DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\system01.dbf' SIZE 700M REUSE
    Although I did use reuse
    I shutdown the database and removed the files to and replaced them with the files from the client,
    Mounted the database succesfully and tried to query the metadata
    Mixing the information found on
    Creating an Oracle Database,
    Oracle Recovery Procedure
    Got ORA-01219, which is logical since the databse isn't open yet.
    I open the database using alter database open
    ORA-01157: cannot identify data file 1 - file not found
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/home/oracle/product/10.1.0/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf'
    So any ideas want went wrong this time

    Umesh,
    Since it is case of Ora 600, for which only last solution is oracle support, but i would like to mention that your are getting ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4193].... So, this 4193 is cause to read following links too:

  • Enterprise Manager Configin a new host after recovery from cold backup

    Dear friends ,
    we have recovered a DB in new host(windows) from the cold backup.
    Listener is configured and EM is also configured .
    I am able to login through the EM . In the front page i get an error like
    java.lang.exception:unknownhost exception sensding request ::<hostname>.<domain>
    Please Note :The hostname from which we have taken backup(operation system) is different from the new host name where have recovered the DB.
    Also when i clicked the link for administration page or performance page
    i was taken to the login page which was showing as follows
    user name:
    password:
    Connect String : <old host name>.<domain name>
    Now i dont know where is parameter of old host details are stored and how it has to be replaced.
    Please reply if anyone can have the solution .
    Thanks in advance
    Madhu

    Please Note :The hostname from which we have taken backup(operation system) is different from the new host name where have recovered the DB
    This is the call for trouble actually.EM repository stores the info of hostname/ipaddress of the machine where it is configured. So any change in that information will not let you use EM.There are couple of files which are there in which this information is stored and if needed, that information can be be manualy edited.But manual editing is not a good way to deal with repository.So the better option for you is to recreate the repository of your EM
    Follow the link for the description of the commands.
    You would have to use
    $emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
    $emca -config dbcontrol db -repod createHTH

  • How to do media recovery from cold backup?????????/

    Hi
    i take cold backup of my 9i database ....
    in case my database is up .....
    how will i recover my database if i lose a single database file and i want to recover it from cold backup......
    Thanks in advance
    Gagan

    Here you go
    These are the steps:
    1. Restore the lost file from a backup.
    2. If the database is down, mount it.
         SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=<location_of_pfile>;
    3. Issue the following query:
    SVRMGR> SELECT V1.GROUP#, MEMBER, SEQUENCE#,
    FIRST_CHANGE#
    FROM V$LOG V1, V$LOGFILE V2
    WHERE V1.GROUP# = V2.GROUP# ;
    This will list all your online redolog files and their respective
    sequence and first change numbers.
    4. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, issue the query:
         SVRMGR> SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE;
    If the CHANGE# is GREATER than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs,
    the datafile can be recovered. Just keep in mind that all the logs to
    applied will be online logs, and move on to step 5.
    If the CHANGE# is LESS than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs, the
    file cannot be recovered. Your options at this point would be to restore
    the most recent full backup (and thus lose all changes to the database
    since) or recreate the tablespace as explained in scenario a.
    5. Recover the datafile:
    SVRMGR> RECOVER DATAFILE '<full_path_file_name>'
    6. Confirm each of the logs that you are prompted for until you receive the
    message "Media recovery complete". If you are prompted for a non-existing
    archived log, Oracle probably needs one or more of the online logs to
    proceed with the recovery. Compare the sequence number referenced in the
    ORA-280 message with the sequence numbers of your online logs. Then enter
    the full path name of one of the members of the redo group whose sequence
    number matches the one you are being asked for. Keep entering online logs
    as requested until you receive the message "Media recovery complete"
    7. If the database is at mount point, open it.

  • Recovery from cold backup

    Hi,
    We take Hot backup everyday, but I took a cold backup using the same catalog. If I want to restore the cold backup I took, what is the proceedure. We are running on 10g in HP Unix.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rock2,
    If you want to restore the cold backup you need to know the tag belonging to this backup.
    Using the logfile of the coldbackup or <list backup summary;> in rman you should be able to get this info.
    The restore would be similar as:
    connect catalog rman/pwd@define_rcv;
    # check in catalog database for the dbid.
    # If so set the appropriate dbid by unhashing the line directly below using the current dbid
    # set dbid = define_dbid
    connect target /;
    STARTUP NOMOUNT;
    run {
    allocate channel tc1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
    allocate channel tc2 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
    # adjust the TAG in the following lines
    restore controlfile from tag TAG0000001;
    sql 'alter database mount';
    restore database from tag TAG0000001;
    sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
    release channel tc1;
    release channel tc2;

  • How to restore cold backup + archived log files

    Hi,
    Suppose I take a cold backup on 18th. After that I have four days of archived log files. if the database crashes on 5th day, I have to restore the 18th cold back + 4 days of archived log files. How do I restore since it is a cold backup and I cant do incomplete recovery.
    can I use
    Recover database ( with 18th cold backup) in mount state and apply archived logs.
    Prabhath

    The details of how you perform forward recovery using a cold backup depends on
    1- rman or manual backup
    2- using current or backup control file
    3- if rman, recovery catalog or no recovery catalog
    4- if full database recovered or only a few files
    Each of these conditions will affect what is known to Oracle and what needs to be done. For example if you restored the entire cold backup including the control file then Oracle would see a consistent database and not need to perform recovery so you would need to startup mount and tell the database to perform recovery using a backup control file. If using rman and no recovery catalog you might need to catalog some of the archived redo logs, etc....
    It is advisable to consult the Backup and Recovery manuals before attempting recovery for any new scenario.

  • RMAN cold backup taking more time than usual

    Hi everybody.. please help me resolving below issue..
    I have configured the RMAN in one of the production database with separate catalogue database six months earlier. I have sceduled weekly cold backup through RMAN on sunday 6pm. Normally it used to take one hour to complete the cold backup and database goes down soon as the job starts.
    But since from then every week the time taken to just initiate the database shutdown continuosly increasing and recently when i checked it is taking 1 hour to initiate the database shutdown. Once the initiation starts it hardly take 1 to 3 min to shutdown.
    Database is up and running during that one Hour. I was in the assumption that RMAN takes some time to execute its internal packages.
    Please help
    Regards,
    Arun Kumar

    Hi John and Tychos,
    Thank you very much for your valuable inputs.
    Yesterday there was cold backup and i have monitored the CPU usage. But there was no load on the CPU at that time and CPU usage was 0%
    I have tried connecting to RMAN manually and it connects within a second. And also noticed in prstat -a that rman connects as soon as the job starts.
    So i think that its taking time at the deleting obsolete backups.
    But I have observerd following observation.
    Before executing the delete obsolete command as mentioned before
    RMAN> REPORT OBSOLETE RECOVERY WINDOW OF 35 DAYS DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
    Report of obsolete backups and copies

    Please advice me on the following.
    1. Why its not deleting the obsolete BACKUP SETS?
    2. Is it normal that RMAN takes this much deleting obsolete backup sets? How can i minimize the time taking for deleting obsolete files.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Create a standby controlfile using cold backup

    Hi All,
    We have to setup a DR for a production database.
    Here we have the coldbackup which backups all the datafiles and the control file from the production database.
    For cloining we generally copy them to another instance and then create controlfile manually. But for setting up as a DR , we would be creating it for standby controlfile.
    I tried to google but I am not able to find a way to create a standby controlfile from the existing controlfile cold backup.

    Database :Oracle 10g R1
    OS : Red hat 3
    I have a RAC database with 2 nodes.
    I build this script to make a cold backup of the database. (I will put it in the cron tab).
    My question is the SRVCTL will work in this scripts??
    # ***** COLDBACKUP ORACLE DATABASE ON LINUX *****
    DIRECTORY=/u02/backup/script/; export DIRECTORY
    cd ${DIRECTORY}
    # ***** SHUTDOWN THE DATABASE *******
    export oracle_sid=RCDB
    srvctl stop database -d RCDB
    # *****cold backup for "RCDB" database on 13-FEB-07 ... *****
    # ***** COPY FILES *****
    # Redo logs
    cp /u02/oradata/RCDB/redo01.log ${DIRECTORY}
    cp /u02/oradata/RCDB/redo07.log ${DIRECTORY}
    cp /u02/oradata/RCDB/redo03.log ${DIRECTORY}
    cp /u02/oradata/RCDB/redo08.log ${DIRECTORY}
    # Datafiles
    #*********START UP DATABASE AND SERVICES********
    srvctl start database -d RCDB
    exit

    I need to put a quick policy backup ... and cold
    backup it's what I use and it works.And reduces the availability of your cluster.
    The problem about RMAN is that we never use it. I
    have to learn about it to make scripts to test....
    and this will tack me 2 or 3 days...I'd assume that installing RAC didn't go overnight, so why underfund the crucial part of any database system, the backup?
    There's even a step by step guide for backup on the Getting Started: DBAs page.
    Samples (and changes) on the latest version of RMAN can be found for example in RMAN Enhancements.
    Or take a look at this Oracle Magazine article:Faster Backup, Faster Recovery
    Backup and Recovery Basics in the user documentation may also be a good starting point.

  • Oracle R12 12.1.3, how to make cold backup

    Hello guys
    After a month long efforts, I was able to deploy the 12.1.3 templates successfully and the full vision instance is accessible without any technical hickups. I have setup VM Server 3.1.1 and VM Manager 3.1.1 using Oracle VirtualBox. The application is running on a two node structure now and I would like to take cold backups for both apps and database tier, later merge them to a single node and move to Oracle Linux 6.2/6.3 so that I could take it around in my laptop for demonstration purposes (We are on 12.0.4) right now and dwelling the possibilities of migrating to 12.1.3)
    regards,
    raj

    I already have two node application R12 (12.1.3) structure, now what I want is
    I want to take a cold backup of application tier, and database tier.
    Then move the backup to a new server and setup a single node, which will be on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2
    So, basically I want to know how to take a cold backup and then setup a new server with the backup.You can use any of the commands mentioned in this link -- http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/os-backup-commands.php
    You might also use rcp/scp.

    Please note for cold backup you will need to shutdown the application/database properly (clean shutdown).
    Thanks,

  • 8i cold backup Solaris 5.8

    Guys,
    I have been doing some research over the past week to determine the best way to do this. I am now at the stage where I know what I want to do, just need to know now HOW to do it! ;o)
    My startegy is to shutdown the DB, do an off-line (cold) backup of the files to tape, restart the DB.
    My questions that need answering to get me there:
    1) what is the most efficient method of shutting down the DB?
    2) which files, paths would be helpful here, do i need to backup?
    3) what is the most efficient method of resatarting the DB?
    4) if I need to restore from the backup I made in 2), how do i go abotu doing this? Is it just a case of copying the files over the top?
    I do appreciate the time and effort you (may) put in to answer these questions.
    Matt

    johnson,
    refer oracle migration documentation. it has answers to all your concerns. the potential pitfalls to look for are
    application design w.r.t to oracle 8i (parameter changes in oracle, optimizer cahnges..etc)
    amount of data to be migrated (more data more careful planning /cost)
    oracle migration utility should be the easiest of you don't want to get into the nity gritty of details.
    as i said..oracle documentation should tell you what is the best option for your site.

  • Cold Backup

    Hi,
    I am doing the following steps for taking Cold Backup

    The Database is not enabled for Archive Mode.
    a)sqlplus /nolog
    b)conn / as sysdba
    c)start up
    d)alter database backup control file to '/backup/control.ctl'
    e)alter database backup control file to trace
    f)shutdown immediate
    g)exit
    h)Manually copy all the .dbf and init.ora files to a seperate directory.
    Are all the above steps correct.
    If yes,can anyone give me a script which i can run manually so as to take the cold Backup.
    Regards

  • Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases

    Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases
    Pls help

    do we still need to take cold backupYou need to take backup. Hot or cold depends on how your DB is running (archivelog or not).
    Will we have file permisions for copyng Use RMAN and don't worry about that.
