How to RMAN backup in RAC with OCFS

hi,
Iam using RAC 10.2.0 in windows 2003 server with OCFS .. i want to take backup using RMAN utility. can any sugest me how take RMAN backup..
Thanks
harish

The only real consideration in RMAN on RAC is a one-off configuration issue as to whether the snapshot controlfile is written to the shared disk or not (it needs to be on the shared disk, or on a location that is common to all nodes, otherwise a backup that includes the control file will fail at the point a node tries to write it to a destination directory that only made sense to another node).
Otherwise, there's not a lot that's different about an RMAN backup in RAC versus non-RAC.
Simple answer, as a result: open a DOS window, type rman target /, then type backup database;

  • RMAN backup on RAC

    Hi,
    DB=10.2.0.4 OS=RHL (RAC with 2 nodes db01,db02). Following are the types of automated RMAN backups taken on db01.
    - OCR
    - Voting Disk
    - Talespaces Snapshot
    - Archivelog (every hour)
    - Backup Incremental level 0 (SUNDAY)
    -- backup incrementa level 1 (Mon-SAT)
    - Autobackup of Control file and SPFILE (CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON)
    Two main questions please. First, are these backups/backup types are enough FOR FULL RESTORE when talking about RMAN backup on RAC environment with 2 nodes? If not please suggest what else I need to backup?
    Secondly, backup home location is /rman which I can see on db01 ONLY. This /rman directory I cannot see on db02. My question is that In case of db02 failure can I restore from this /rman directory? or do I need to automate backup schedules also on db02 separately?

    Hi,
    THanks alot for your feedback. Makes my life easier :) . But actually I started studying this all subject because of the following error message in the log file. I found out about this error that doesn't seem to harm. Just wait for the job to finish or it will sort out automatically. Here are the lines from the log file.
    Fehler in Backuplogs gefunden:/oracle/log/fcp11-backup-2300.log: RMAN-00571:

    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/dbs/snapcf_fp12.f'; # default
    Thing which I just noticed regarding the above RMAN error is that snapcf_fp11.f can be seen on the Node 1 on todays date but snapcf_fp12.f was only on 10th jan.

    -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall  20M Jan 10 13:28 snapcf_fcp12.fTHe few lines from the book which I mentioned above are: (Though you might not need to read those lines):
    "You need to move the snapshot control file to a shared location if you plan to run backups from more than one node. If you do not move the snapshot control file to a shared file system such as OCFS or an ASM disk group, then you must make sure that the local destination is identical on all nodes."
    My question is of course, how to sort out the above log file error. Becuse in our case, backups are run only from one node, and snaphost control file is not being moved to ASM disk groups. Local destination is also same on both the Nodes, isn't it (with different names). Why on Node 2 last snapshot was taken on 10th jan while on Node 1 it is todays date which seems fine.
    Control file and SPFILE which I noticed are stored on ASM disk groups also, so being shared between the two Nodes.

  • How can i do the RAC with Oracle 9i ?

    How can i do the RAC with Oracle 9i ?
    The Oracle 9i has a RAC(Real Application Cluster)module , please who can tell me how can i let it working .
    Which hardware the RAC need's
    Thank All ,
    [email protected]

    That is right you need atleast 2 boxes. The two servers will use the same hard disks.
    The concept is an extension of OPS(Oracle Parallel Server).
    Basically, you install Oracle Server Software on both the boxes, One database will be shared by both the servers. You can access your database through the Server1 or Server2. If Server1 fails then the Server2 will take over all the connections. You can add or remove any servers to and from the cluster any time you want with out impacting your production.
    They share load, reliable, scalable....

  • RMAN duplicate from RAC with ASM to RAC with ASM

    I'm still reading and trying to figure out how to duplicate...and I'm finding that there are some extra considerations you have to work with with doing a RAC system.
    Does anyone have any good links to articles/docs that spell out what to do in this scenario?
    I'm wanting to duplicate from tape backups, using NO connectivity to the source/target....
    My tape backups do include the spfile and control files (autobackup) from the source.
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne

    Possibly you are confusing a database with a database.
    A RAC database is a just a database. What is different is the instances, the clusterware, and the storage: For example ASM.
    A backup is a backup is a backup.
    Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do, on what hardware, operating system, version, and edition.
    RMAN can not create an instance either RAC or stand-alone.Thank you for the reply.
    I have my source system, OS = RHEL5, running Oracle 11Gr2...5 node RAC cluster.
    I'm doing RMAN backups to tape...hourly arch. logs, Daily incremental lvl=1 backups and weekly incremental lvl=0
    None of the tape backups have ever been tested for restoring...and I've never restored a database myself before, total noob here.
    I have a test area I've set up. I have a 2 node RAC cluster, running 11Gr2 and OS=RHEL5.
    The tape is accessible from both systems.
    I am wanting to test the tape backups...and thought the RMAN DUPLICATE process would be the way to go.
    I am wanting to NOT connect to the source database...trying to simulate somewhat of a disaster recovery scenario. I'm only wanting to use tape backup, and the test area for the auxiliary instance.
    So far what I've seen I need to learn to do is something like:
    1. Create a password file for new aux database to be duplicated to
    2. Establish Net connectivity...
    3. Create initial parameter file for aux instance
         Due to a bug in note:334899.1, add this (because of RAC system)
         norecovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
    4. Start aux instance NOMOUNT
    Everything I'm reading though...is basically doing this from single instance to single instance...and what little info I've seen on doing it from RAC, indicates there are some differences. The "_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE" is one thing I found...but wondering what else.
    Also, so many of the examples I'm finding...are doing the duplication connecting to the target/source...and also doing backups to disk rather than tape...
    Right now, I'm at #1...trying to figure what to put into an init pfile...I'm seeing DB_name, which will be the same as the one I'm cloning from.
    I'm not sure what else....
    I'm wondering if this is necessary..since on the tape backups from the source...I backup the SPFILE...can that not be used somehow in this?
    I'm seeing for the init file, examples show that I need to put in entries for control files and redo logs....if the source system was down and gone...how would I know where these were on the old system? This isn't documented anywhere....is there a way to do this if you didn't know.
    If not..guess I need to go through all systems and document the layouts of where everything is located.
    Also...most examples I'm finding, in addition to being single instance backup and restore/duplication...they are all using regular file systems....not much to go on with using ASM.
    Anyway, I'm trying to learn here...and am having trouble finding examples to go from that match my setup.
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne

    I Am not using oem, without oem you should write several scripts....

    bck.sh
    set ORACLE_SID=mydb
    set ORACLE_HOME=....
    rman target sys/.... @'.../bck.ora'

    delete force noprompt obsolete redundancy 3;
    backup FORMAT '..../ctl_%d_%T_%s_%p_%U' current controlfile spfile;
    And create executable job which instance_id=1 and will run your bck.sh script and create schedule for this job, when first node will down you must change instance_id attribute to second one, and be sure that all backup paths exists in all nodes.

  • RMAN backups are slow with TSM

    Hi,
    I encountered a problem using RMAN with TSM to backup a database. It seems that the RMAN channel doesn't use the entire bandwidth to the TSM (or whatever) and is idle most of the time. This makes the database backup really slow.
    As a comparison, we backup also filesystem and SQL Server, they both use very few channels and each channel backup about X5 more data per second than Oracle. For example, SQL Server uses 5 channels to the TSM, and we get a total of around 100MB/s. When we configure Oracle to backup using 5 channels we get about 20MB/s and we see that the SQL Server is writing to the TSM all the time while Oracle is idle a large portion of the time.
    Any ideas? Known configuration issues?
    I hope I'm clear about the problem.
    Thanks,
    Liron

    Hi,
    Thanks for everybody for your responses, I'll try to sum the answers here:
    1. Yes, we backup the filesystem, and everything works fine. The problem is only with RMAN backups
    2. Resources are not an issue, it happens on strong and weak servers (and several O/S as well)
    3. Database versions are not the issue, it happens on 10.2 as well as 11.2
    My feeling is that this has something to do with the integration, either oracle setting or TSM setting, but I can't be sure until I solve this.
    For those of you who backup with TSM, did you notice that filesystem / SQL Servers are being backed up faster? Did you check the Oracle wait events and TSM status while you run the backup?
    Thanks
    BTW Girish, great comment, I wish I had all the answers... :)

I have a 10gR2 single instance database that I have been taking backups using the oracle's suggested backup strategy, that is, once full database backup and incremental backups here and there. That's is all fine as I have (many times) being requested to rollback the database resulting in all operations being sucessfull.
    However, since this is somehow a pre-certification database, I am now being tasked to restore this database to what is going to be our production database, which is a 10gR2 rac database. I have already set up the RAC database sucessfull.
    Now, my question is: How can I take one of the backups that I have on the single-instance database and restore onto my RAC database ?
    Some information about the infraestructure:
    Both operating systems are HP-UX. Single instance is 11.23, RAC database is 11.31.
    Both database are using ASM as datafiles storage and flash recovery area storage.
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    In general terms, there are several ways you can convert a single instance into a rac intance, and it involves much more activities than just adding redo threads.
    Use of DBCA
    Enterprise Manager Grid Control
    rconfig utility
    Considering your case, if you don't currently have Grid Control, the first option is rconfig.
    1. Migrate your database from the current environment to the target environment by a regular cloning procedure, this will create a single instance into your rac environment. Your regular rdbms rac installation allows you to manage both, single instance and rac instances. Use this procedure to clone your database to the target RAC environment using recovery manager --> http://madrid9999.googlepages.com/rmancloneadatabase
    2. Once you have started your database in the RAC environment proceed with the rconfig tool, this requires some files to perform the conversion, the ConvertToRAC.xml file which is located at $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
    3. Once you copied/edited the ConvertToRAC.xml file, you have to run the rconfig. Save the ConvertToRAC.xml under a different file name.
    rconfig editedConvertToRAC.xml
    4. For further reference on the rconfig command, you may refer to this page Oracle® Real Application Clusters Installation Guide

  • How to edit spfile in RAC with location +DATA/

    Dear All,
    My RAC is 2 node 11gR2 on Linux.
    I need to modify my spfile since my UNDO tablespace is giving error while Oracle Starts up:
    ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
    ORA-30012: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS2' does not exist or of wrong type
    I changed UNDO TABLESPACE recently using alter system only.
    Now I want to change the UNDO TABLESPACE in spfile.
    When i go to dbs directory i can see the parameter file and its contents are: SPFILE='+DATA/racdb/spfileracdb.ora'
    I need to edit this file, how can i edit it?
    Kindly help
    Regards,
    Imran

    mrimran,
    After asking an enormous amount of doc questions you should know
    alter system scope=spfile
    alters the spfile
    You should also know how to find the documentation (searchable) at http://tahiti.oracle.com and to use it
    Your abuse of this forum with doc questions is completely unacceptable.
    I will, from now on, mark every further doc question from your handle as abuse of this forum. Every question, until moderators have removed you!!!
