Does RMAN restore from 11.2.0.3 to 11.1.0.7?

Hi Team,
Interesting point is here, source is on 11.2.0.3 and somehow we missed 11.2.0 home on target (my team mate forgot to built new 11.2.0.3 home - we have 11.1.0 home), not sure how this rman restored/recovered with no issues on target even it has compatibility change (controlfile restore itself should fail).
Source is 11.2.0.3 and target is 11.1.0.7, presently the instance up and running with no issues, but we decided to re build with 11.2.0.3 home
Any hints? Please advice, I am curious about this functionality how did this happen! J
Thanks,
Venkat

RMAN restore from active database, ASM

I'm attempting to refresh a stage database from a prod database using RMAN restore from active database. Both are on ASM. After working through various hurdles, I've got one issue I'm a bit stuck on. I've got a handful of data files that do NOT have OMF names (ie MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx instead of MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx.351.714779777) and these are failing when I do the restore. The syntax I'm using in RMAN is as follows:
duplicate target database to dwstage
from active database
spfile parameter_value_convert 'dwprod','dwstage'
SET DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE'
SET LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE';
The error message I'm getting is this:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 04/21/2011 13:26:24
ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server
continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run
Normally from what I've seen/read this error can be traced back to needing to pre-create the directories for the controlfiles etc, but since 90% of the datafiles copied correctly...
Any suggestions as to a way around this, or am I going to be forced to restore from a backupset?

This fails saying that "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections" which is quite normal given that the listener is havig a handle in BLOCKED state for this AUXDB as it is in NOMOUNT state.
Could you please help me on how to proceed?
One option can be to create the controlfile manually and mount the instance before doing the duplicate. I hope Rman can continue from there.
Another option is to go for backup based duplicate.
Is there any other way to go?
Provide static registration on AUXILIARY side for your auxiliary instance and try again.For example change listener.ora file as
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = AUXDB)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <auxiliary host/ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)And restart listener on auxiliary host then try again

RMAN restore from alternate location

Hi:
Have anybody tried that - running rman restore from an alternate location?
I mean when the server location specified in backup script is lost (but you have your backups on tape).
Or one just needs to recreate identical location?

Hi Greg,
1. Copy the backupset/backuppices to /db1/backup/MYDB
2. If the database is in archivelog mode, and u have the current controlfile use it.if not use the backup controlfile.
3. mount the db.
4. connect to rman
RMAN> catalog backuppieces 'db1/backup/MYDB/bkpiece_name';
Do it for all the backup pieces...If suppose u have 5 backuppieces then write the above command for all the 5 pieces replacing the bkpiece_name.
5. run the restore database command on rman prompt.
6. Apply archives manually/ or if are present in the same loaction u can do with rman.
Regards,
Anand

RMAN restore from 10g to 11g

Dear All,
I have full rman backup and archivelog pieces where the version is 10.2.0.1.
Now I have prepared a server with oracle 11g and same mount points and want to restore the database from those pieces.
Is it possible?
If yes then what extra precautions and necessary things I need to do before or after the restoration?
Thanks in advance.

Megatron wrote:
No. I just want to upgrade my db. So that I plan to follow the below steps
1. install oracle 11g software only in my new machine.
2. copy the backup pieces from 10G server to 11G server.
3. Run the rman restore and recover command.
Will it be any issue?Yes, it is issue.
You have to upgrade the database.
Run from source 10g database, @?/rdbms/admin/utlu111i.sql
In upgrade mode @?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql
after opening database in 11g @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

RMAN restore from older full backup.

version. 10gR2
We take full backup every Wednesday (7/2, 7/9, 7/16 and 7/23). I need to restore the database from 7/2 backup. No recovery is needed. How do I do that. Thanks for the help.

You can specify the BACKUPSET or TAG you want to restore from on the restore command.
RESTORE ... FROM BACKUPSET
RESTORE ... FROM TAG = '..'
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta051.htm#sthref796
Why do you need that specific backup? If you were restoring to a point in time before the 7/9 backup then RMAN will work out to use the 7/9 backup. If no recovery is needed I assume you're testing a restore using VALIDATE and/or PREVIEW?

RMAN RESTORE FROM TAPE DIRECTLY

Dear All,
We are in the process of testing the restore functionality of our production Db. The Backup is taken by Rman which is integrated with Netbackp. The backup files are directly going to the Tape storage.
Scenario
1. We need to restore the backup into a different host which doesn't have access to the Netbackup server and Production Db (Its a DR site)(DR excercise).
2. System team can provide the tape on the standby server.
Concerns
1. How can i proceed with restore in the secondary host.
2. Is there any way to read the backup pieces from Tape and catalog it using rman
If any come across this scenario, kindly share me the solution.
Thanks in Advance

If it is a NETBACKUP device, you can't restore without NETBACKUP. Well, there have been articles written on howto, but they all seem to end in "I just installed netbackup, imported the tape and restored from there."
I NEVER, EVER backup directly to tape - always to disk - most frequently with enough space to store 2 full backups plus enough archivelog file space to span before and after those backups, then sweep the backup location to tape. Recovering from tape can take 50-150% longer. If you use NETBACKUP, install it where it is needed. Going "cheap" could potentially cost the company more in downtime, than the licenses would have costs. If you NEED data, you NEED licenses to run the tools required to recover from a disaster.
The sad part is that should a catastrophic failure occur, it is usually at the most inopportune time.
Companies should treat their data [required to run their business] with the same security and backup strategies as if it was cash in the bank. I have seen a very large company literally throw away over $8M in unrecoverable orders due to impatience with bringing a system back online and not allowing the proper recovery processes to occur. Not having the proper licenses would fall into this category. Can your company afford to lose $8M in income?
Sounds like your company really needs a Business Continuity Review of your DR processes and procedures.

RMAN restore from a particular backupset

hi
how do i instruct RMAN to restore data from a particular backupset. for example, if i have last 7 days backup sets (plus archivelog) available in my backup location, how do i instruct RMAN to use only the latest backupset for the restoration purpose. i've a testing database on another host which i have to refresh using RMAN backup. however, i can't move all the 7 days backupsets from the production host server to the testing host due to insufficient space. is it possible to use only the latest backupset and instruct RMAN to use.
thanks in advance.

You need to incomplete recovery. You can use one of the methods below.
Time-Based incomplete recovery:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown abort;
SQL> startup mount;
$ rman target / catalog_user/catalog_user_password@catalogdb
RMAN> restore database until time "to_date('06/05/11 12:0:00','DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS')";
RMAN> recover database until time "to_date('06/05/11 12:0:00','DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS')";
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
SCN-Based incomplete recover:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown abort;
SQL> startup mount;
$ rman target / catalog_user/catalog_user_password@catalogdb
RMAN> restore database until scn 1000;
RMAN> recover database until scn 1000;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Archive log sequence based incomplete recovery:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown abort;
SQL> startup mount;
$ rman target / catalog_user/catalog_user_password@catalogdb
RMAN> restore database until sequence 9923;
RMAN> recover database until sequence 9923;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;

RMAN restore from remote backup

I need to test the restore from the backup which is copied to the remote server. I backup the database to the local disk and copy the backup set to the remote server. Then I delete the local backup and restore from remote but it fails. RMAN still tries to find the backup from local server.
RMAN> run{
2> allocate channel c1 device type disk format '\\RemoteBackup\%U';
3> restore datafile 1;
4> recover datafile 1;}
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: c1
channel c1: SID=154 device type=DISK
Starting restore at 23-NOV-10

Sounds like when you "restored" the local backup from the remote, you missed something.

Rman restore from last week backup

Hi guys
i need to restore last week rman backup from .. we are not using catalog database.
i need to restore it on same machine with diff mount point ..
i know i can use tag option of restore specifically last week backup but its production restore so thought if anybody can give me list of steps i need to follow .. anybody who has done this before.
do i have to fire resetlogs at the end as its incomplete recovery .. i need last saturday backup .. don't want monday backup on top of it.
please help me in this.
Regards

You have to ensure that your controlfile, redo log file and database file locations are different from your production database.
Ensure that your instance parameter file specifies a different location for control_files
Use db_file_name_convert -- however, I prefer to explicitly name a new location for each datafile, in case your database files are spread across multiple directories and you miss one or more in db_file_name_convert. (you don't want RMAN to restore datafiles from the backup to the current locations and overwrite your production database files !)

RMAN restore from monthly tape backup

hello!
i have one more question regarding rman and tape backups: we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database, so all the information is in the control files. but for revision we need to save one full backup per month. in addition to the databases we need files from different servers etc. on this tape-backups. so we decided to keep one tape set per month in a safe place -> is it possible to restore a rman backup from this tapes, e.g. 3 years afterwards (on a different machine)? thanks.
bye,
christian

Hi christian,
Can you give more info?
As I understand it you do not want to use a recovery catalog ("we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database").
But if you store the rman backup info in the controlfile only you will limit the amount of rman information to your init parameter control_file_record_keep_time.
Do you make rman backups to tape directly using a MML or do you make rman backups to disk which than get copied to tape (OS backup)?

Rman restore from a expired backup

Hi
My rman retention policy is set to 2 days.
But i want rman to restor me the backup from 7 days before.I do have the backupset controlfiles etc.But rman tells me this backupset is expired how do i force rman to restore from this backup ?
regards

Hi,
yes.
1) restore controlfile from the backup from 7 days before
2) mount database with the controlfile you restored
3) restore/recover database ( if you have backed up datafiles and archivelog files from the time )
Regards,
Tom

Phone does not restore from icloud (invalid device while updating mme delegate account)

Hi
When restoring an iphone4 I get to the part that says restore from icloud, then enter the user details (if you get them wrong it tells you) then it moves onto the Terms and Conditions page which you then click agree. At this point I either get "there was a problem connecting to the server" or "invalid device while updating mme delegate account".
Help ....
Any ideas please

Sorted it by clicking the home button and choosing start again, the phone then erased its self and the next time it started the restore process worked fine
