Creating a "checkpoint" using RMAN

I've got to do a significant upgrade to an application schema over the weekend. I would like to set an easy way to restore the database to the point it was in right before I started the upgrade, in case I decide I need to start over. What's the simplest way to do this using RMAN?
Thanks,
Harry

Yes, it's set:
SQL> show parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 2G
SQL> show parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST

db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 2G

But still no joy:

Problem While Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN

Hi Guru's
May be this incidence you all face while creating physical standby DB. I try to create Physical standby database Using RMAN Duplicate Command from one server
(pri machine) to Standby Machine.
The steps i followed to create the above are as follows:
Step 1:- Enable Forced Logging
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Step 2:- Configure a Standby Redo Log
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 10
2> ('/oracle/dbs/log1c.rdo','/oracle/dbs/log2c.rdo') SIZE 500M;
Step 3:- Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters
SQL> create pfile='?/dbs/pfileorcl.ora' from spfile;
Edit the pfile to add the standby parameters, here shown:
db_unique_name='orcl'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcl,orcldr)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcldr LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcldr'
*.fal_server=orcldr
*.fal_client=orcl
*.standby_file_management=auto
Step 4:- Enable Archiving
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Step 5:- Setup tnsnames for standby database
This should be done on primary database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcldr
orcldr =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcldr)
Step 6:- Backup database and copy it to standby
This backup script should be run on primary and copied to standby on the same mount point, running this scripts using RMAN, all files under /rman_backup should be copied to /rman_backup on standby server.
$rman target /
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
backup database format '/rman_backup/%U';
backup archivelog all format '/rman_backup /%U';
backup current controlfile for standby format '/rman_backup/%U';
Step 7:- Standby Database Steps
Installing Oracle Software
This should be same release and patchset with exactly same ORACLE_HOME mount point.
Setting Up listener
Create and start a listener on standby database using NetCA, or creating listener.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
Step 8:- Set Standby Database Initialization Parameters
Copying the pfile created in primary database and renames it to initorcldr.ora, and changes these parameters:
db_unique_name='orcldr'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcldr,orcl)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcl LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcl'
*.fal_server=orcl
*.fal_client=orcldr
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
Step 9:- Setup tnsnames for primary database
This should be done on standby database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcl
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
Step 10:- Copy a Password File
A password file must be created on the Primary and copied over to the Standby site. The sys password must be identical on both sites. Copy orapworcl to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename file to orapworcldr
Step 11:- Create mount points for Oracle
Mount point should be created on standby server with the same convention used in primary, this includes the location for controlfiles, redo logs, datafiles, archive log destination and alert logs.
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/cdump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/udump
Step 12:- Use RMAN to restore backup and setup standby
Connect to RMAN and execute the following command to create standby database, this should be performed on standby server after copying backup and setting tnsnames.
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcldr
$ rman target sys/tiger@orcl auxiliary sys/tiger@orcldr
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
Here i am getting problem as :
While trying to connect to traget database and auxiliary database i notice that when RMAN is connect to both databases it shows
orcl ( DBID xyz)
orcl (not mounted)
Here in my view the second database must be standby database name or auxiiary db name is standby db name which in my case is orcldr
after this issue i am facing the second issues as :
in command
duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
After modifying the command to
RMAN> duplicate target database to "standby";
rman-05520 database name mismatch
Can u please let me know where i am mistaking

ok for pri:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=orcl
for standby:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=sbyorcl ( i change orcldr to sbyorcl later)for new testing
but now what i am getting on

I found the reason. it was because of the the backup set not available.
But after I prepare the backup set at hte primary host, rman still gave err msg:

Please let know the setps for creating new databaseIf it is in archivelog mode you can use duplicate to refresh database DEMO from TEST..
or after cold backup, go to mount ,
create trace file of controlfile becuase you are chaning database name
recreate the controlfile

Creating standby database using RMAN

When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
have to be accessible from host where standby database
is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
Thanks a lot for advice,
M.

OK, thanks,
I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
database instance is running on the host where I want
to create standby database. The running instance is for
testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
parameters as in primary database.
I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
database I can specify distinct one for standby database?

Edited by: 889828 on 2011/10/06 2:17 AM

The problem is well decribed in your alert log.....you are using Oracle Managed File names which means you will not be able to duplicate the database as RMAN won't be able to automatically generate new names for the files using the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameters.
Youll have to use the SET NEWNAME command to specify the names of the database files. Done this a few times , and I don't recommend using OMF specifically beacuse of this hassle.
WARNING: OMF is enabled on this database. Creating a physical standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
datafile pathnames.
NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames.

Edited by: user9198889 on Jul 6, 2011 8:29 AMHave you restored from the recent backup?
validate the backup compeltion_time and then retry the operation, Are you restoring from tapes?yes its recent backup(last and only backup infact ) , the backup took couple of days to run..
the backup was executing using this command BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE TAG 'LEV1_BCKP_2011-06-27_11_54' PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT
there was no full backup so oracle must have taken full one and not incremental correct?
first logseq that was back's up is : 35818
primary uses local disk for its db and backup
standby that i am trying to create is on asm. i have copied backup to FRA and restored to +data its recovery that is failing now

How to refresh the database from target to clone system using RMAN ?

I created the database using RMAN from target (Node A) to clone (Node B)
I want to refresh the data what are all the changes happened in (Not complete database only chages) target to clone system using RMAN ? or any other way?

I want to refresh the data what are all the changes
happened in (Not complete database only chages)

Issue Creating Duplicate Database on Different host using RMAN Backup

HI friends..
I m trying to create a duplicate db on different host ....... 27
i have live production db on ............. 15
its up 24*7.
i know how to create dup db using cold backup..but dont know how to create it using RMAN Backup..
I have googled..but getting issues..
Steps Taken till now
Note- I dont have catalog created on live db..
I already have set the tnsnames.ora on both servers
1) Took full backup plus archivelog plus control file on 15
2) moved it to another host..ie 27
3) now on live db..
I conected to rman target /
so i m now connected to prod db
than i try to conect to rman auxiliary sys/sys@dubpd..
But it gives me insufficient privilages error..
Can you tell me what to do next..Coz unless i get into mount phase on sever 27( new server)..i cannot use the control file from backup).my dupdb is up in nomount phase..but what enxt i can do..to restore the control file and than restore the backup after cataloging them to right path..
Thanks in advance frieds...

Nope ..on live db..
@comand prompt when i type sqlplus sys/sys@dupdb..
its says 0ra-12518...Listener cannot hand off client connection..
My tns name for live server is..*primary* on live server .. whose ip is 15..(lIVE SERVER).
i also have another entery with tns names- standby .on live server .. whose ip is 27..(other server for duplicated db).
now @command prompt..@live server.. i did sqlplus sys/sys@standby
It gives me ORA-12518
Am i missing something..1- It could be a network problem. You may enable tracing on listener (and examine the logs).
2- Add "DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF" to listener.ora, then reload the listener
3- You may want to increase "large_pool_size"

Using RMAN for creating a Dataguard Standby db.

Hello,
I have two 11.2.0.1.0 oracle instances running on two cloned Red Hat Enterprise Linux (rhel98 and rhel99). Linux version:
Linux rhel99 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 25 17:46:45 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI am trying to perform a "duplicate target database for standby" as part of the list of steps to get a Physical Standby located at the rhel99 server with DB_UNIQUE_NAME ORCL99. But I am missing something because it keeps failing with this error:
RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN 2818790
RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 5 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restoreI double checked the directory structure on primary (rhel98) and standby (rhel99), and it's the same. As control file is restored during the duplicate process I cannot perform the catalog start with, so the backups were placed on the same locations at rhel98 and 99.
According to that error message it is not finding any of the datafile backups.

Thanks Hemant but the issue is the same with sequence 6 or 22. I posted the RMAN log from an old duplicate I ran yesterday using sequence 6, but as you can see below the error is not changing with setting "until sequence 22"
Hemant K Chitale wrote:
Your database datafile backups are as of Checkpoint SCN 3100062 which is higher than the archivelogs (and certainly higher than SEQ#6).
Possibly SEQUENCE#22 will cover the database checkpoint SCN. Therefore, the minimum UNTIL SEQUENCE would be 23 or higher.

Creating Standby for RAC ASM database using RMAN

We are having a Primary Site of 3-Node RAC ASM and we takes daily RMAN backup with the following script
run
allocate channel c1 device type disk format 'g:\rmanbackup\%U';
backup database;
backup archivelog from time 'trunc(sysdate-1)' until time 'sysdate';
We have configured 3-Node RAC Cluster in Standby site. We have copied the rman backup folder to one of the Nodes in the Standby site.
Request your help to restore the RMAN backup. The backup size is around 200GB. We do not know how to use DUPLICATE DUPICATE option in RMAN as if it is restoring from the Primary Location, then transferring 200GB over the network will not be possible.
We need a solution to restore it directly from the Backup folder available in the DR Server. We are not using catalog.
OS : Windows IA 64-bit
RDBMS : Oracle 10.2.0.4
Storage : ASM
DB Nodes at Primary Site, Node1, Node2, Node3
DB instances at primary site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Nodes at Standby Site, Node101, Node102, Node103
DB instances at Standby site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Name : ORCL on both the sites.

When you create the standby, you can use catalogued backups, stored somewhere local to your standby servers.
For that, they need to be copied to the standby server, or taken from production there, and after restoring the standby controlfile on the standby server, use rman to catalogue the backups to be used. Then, you can use DUPLICATE... and it will be reading your local backup files.
The directory g:\rmanbackup of your rman script is local to standby servers ?
The docs for this have a lot of details: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/rcmbackp.htm
