Database Restore using RMAN

Can I restore a oracle database with a different name using RMAN.
Say, I backup a database named orcl. Now I wanted to restore this database with a different name. Is this possible? If yes, can some one guide me through the appropriate document?
Thank you,
Santhosh

< Can I restore this Backup on to a database with a different name ...
You even have to do this, if duplicated database belongs to the same ORACLE_HOME, otherwise it could be the same name (although the databases still have different DBIDs).

Tnsname resolve failed after performing an restore using rman

I create an full database backup using rman and I want to perform an restore on another server. Steps are as follows.
1. Install the same release of oracle database and apply the same release of patches in the testing server.
2. Create an instance with the same name of original database.
3.Perform the restore using rman.
4.Create an spfile from pfile.
5.Add an new tempfile then delete the old one.
6. Shutdown the instance and restart it.
7. reconfigure the listner.
8. reconfigure the tns.
In this step it fails,saying that "TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor",but if I change the servername to the original server name,it succeed.

Problem in performing multiple Point-In-Time Database Recovery using RMAN

Hello Experts,
I am getting an error while performing database point in time recovery multiple times using RMAN. Details are as follows :-
Environment:
Oracle 11g, ASM,
Database DiskGroups : DG_DATA (Data files), DG_ARCH(Archive logs), DG_REDO(Redo logs Control file).
Snapshot DiskGroups :
Snapshot1 (taken at 9 am): SNAP1_DATA, SNAP1_ARCH, +SNAP1_REDO
Snapshot2 (taken at 10 am): SNAP2_DATA, SNAP2_ARCH, +SNAP2_REDO
Steps performed for point in time recovery:
1. Restore control file from snapshot 2.
     RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE from '+SNAP2_REDO/orcl/CONTROLFILE/Current.256.777398261';
2. For 2nd recovery, reset incarnation of database to snapshot 2 incarnation (Say 2).
3. Catalog data files from snapshot 1.
4. Catalog archive logs from snapshot 2.
5. Perform point in time recovery till given time.
     STARTUP MOUNT;
     RUN {
          SQL "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss''";
          SET UNTIL TIME "06-mar-2013 09:30:00";
          RESTORE DATABASE;
          RECOVER DATABASE;
          ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Results:
Recovery 1: At 10.30 am, I performed first point in time recovery till 9:30 am, it was successful. Database incarnation was raised from *2* to *3*.
Recovery 2: At 11:10 am, I performed another point in time recovery till 9:45 am, while doing it I reset the incarnation of DB to *2*, it failed with following error :-
Starting recover at 28-FEB-13

ORA-15012: ASM file '+DG_REDO/orcl/onlinelog/group_1.257.807150859' does not exist
Doubts:
1. Why did recovery failed 2nd time, but not 1st time and why is RMAN looking for online redo log group_1.257.807150859 in 2nd recovery ?
3. I tried restoring control file from AutoBackup, in that case both 1st and 2nd recovery succeeded.
However for this to work, I always need to keep the AutoBackup feature enabled.
How reliable is control file AutoBackup ? Is there any alternative to using AutoBackup, can I restore control file from snapshot backup only ?
4. If I restore control file from AutoBackup, then from what point of time/SCN does RMAN restores the control file ?
Please help me out in this issue.
Thanks.

Hello experts,
I'm little newbie to RMAN recovery. Please help me in these doubts:
1. If I have datafiles, archive logs & control files backup, but current online REDO logs are lost, then can I perform incomplete database recovery ?yes, if you have backups of everything else
2. Till what maximum time/scn can incomplete database recovery be performed ??Assuming the only thing lost is the redo logs, you can recover to the last scn in the last archivelog.
3. What is role of online REDO logs in incomplete database recovery ? They provide the final redo changes - the ones that have not been written to archivelogs
Are they required for incomplete recovery ?It depends on how much incomplete recovery you need to do.
Think of all of your changes as a constant stream of redo information. As a redolog fills, it is copied to archive, then (eventually) reused. over time, your redo stream is in archivelog_1, continuing into archvivelog_2, then to 3, and eventually, when you get to the last archivelog, into the online redo. A recovery will start with the oldest necessary point in the redo stream and continue forward. Whether or not you need the online redo for a PIT recovery depends on how far forward you need to recover.
But you should take every precaution to prevent loss of online redo logs .. starting with having multiple members in each redo group ... and keeping those multiple members on physically separate disks.

Restore using RMAN

I had taken backup three time say backup1 after few transaction backup2 and after few transactions backup3 using RMAN. RMAN no catalog
Now we want to recover database using backup1.
provide the steps to recover the database using backup1

Hi,
You said you have taken the Backup. Which type of backup either level 0 or level 1 (incremental backups - differential or cumulative). Next type of backups - either image copies or backups. If backups are taken then we can try out to restore specific files from the backup sets - I am not sure on that.
You have to provide the DB Version. ??
What is the need for going for First Backup only... what is the need ??
Does you know appropriate time , if you use the flashback then we can use that.

Database Recover Using RMAN

Dear All(s)
Recently i am managing oracle 10.2.0 database, and doing database coloning and data dumping. Also doing full backup trrough RMAN. Now i want to know what happend if i take only RMAN backup, full and incremental, and how recover it.
1. How i can recover database if i loose entire server machine (in case i have only RMAN backup)
2. How i can build full database using RMAN backup on another server.
Thanks
Waiting for response

+1. How i can recover database if i loose entire server machine (in case i have only RMAN backup)+
If you loose entire server machine its just like the same you make disaster recovery or restore database to another machine.
+2. How i can build full database using RMAN backup on another server.+

Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if this is correct:
I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
This is how I perform backup on machine A:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
SET DBID 1221334455;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
RESTORE DATABASE;
Recover database;
Thanks,

You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
OR
You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.

RMAN Restore using RMAN COLD Backup!!

Hi All,
I Need to restore a database using rman cold backup taken a month back.
Can i use Duplicate database option until time/scn just like we do for hotbackup or is there any other procedure for cloning/refreshing the database using RMAN COLD BACKUP of source.
Thanks & Regards,

Error in Database backup using RMAN.

Hi
While taking full online backup using RMAN i got the following error.
ORA-19566: exceeded limit of 0 corrupt blocks for file /oracle/DEV/sapdata2/dev640_6/dev640.data6
Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Hi,
Please perform DBverify Job and Also analyze the alert<SID>.log file for your Database to get more information about such logical or physical corruption. You may require Block level recovery for the complained DB Files. Please refer this useful document " [Early Detection and Correction of Data Block Corruptions Using RMAN |http://www.ioug.org/client_files/members/select_pdf/04q4/RMAN.pdf]" and share the same with your Oracle DBA.
You can execute the following commands to get information about corrupted block(s), if its there.
select * from v$backup_corruption;
select * from v$database_block_corruption;

Restoring using RMAN

Hi Guys
I am practicing RMAN utility for backup and recovery. I have created rman catalog user on my system tablespace. I deleted my system tablespace from my oracle database.
I started my oracle database it gave error ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file and ORA-01110: data file 1 . Now when I connect to rman using target user/pwd@orcl catalog user/pwd@orcl
it saying : RMAN 00571, RMAN 00569, RMAN 00554 initialization of internal recovery manager failed and RMAN 04004 error from recovery catalog database : ORA 01033
oracle initialization or shutdown in progress.
I tried other lots of option but i think since I lost system tablespace rman is not starting as I declared rman users default tablespace as system.
Please Guide

hİ,
Create a user to hold the recovery catalog. This should be on a separate server to any databases you are planning to backup.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/recovery-manager-9i.php#CreateRecoveryCatalog
and you should connect like below
export ORACLE_SID=YOURDBSID
rman target / catalog user/pwd@rmancatalogdb

Database backup using RMAN

Hello All,
I am new to RMAN.
I am trying to make some backups of my database using enterprise manager, so i choose to backup my database based on the Oracle-Suggested Backup schedule.
I got the below command from EM:
Daily Script:
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
}i have the below question:
what does the above script do ? EM will create a job that will run it daily ? how can i check this job ? where is it logged?
where and how can i check the already configured channels ? for ex: channel oem_disk_backup
what does this script do ? recover copy of database with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0' does it recover the database?
What are the RMAN scripts (run block), to backup my database once per week (for ex on Sunday)as level 0 backup and every day as incremental level 1 cumulative backup ? Since I think that the above script will run a level 0 backup once on the first execution and then the remaining backups are level 1 Incremental backups
Thanks and regards,

Database Restore Using Export Dump File

Does anyone have any ideas.

Please advice

Hi, I was able to create the db using dbca, and then import.
When I first imported, I got messages all over that user or objects did not exist. So I commented the line which would invoke the CreateDBCatalog.sql script.
And now I get this,

Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.

In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.
