Oracle 10.2.0.3 Databases - Restore to New Server

We will soon be replacing an old server with a new server and I need to restore all Oracle 10.2.0.3 databases to the new server
and ensure Oracle functionality/connectivity with all databases.
I am in the process of testing and need advice and hopefully a 'Step by Step' process I can follow.
I am a systems admin - not an Oracle db admin - so please explain details of any commands I may have to run.
I have already tested once:
ran command prompt: sqplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Stopped all Oracle services:
Oracle Database
Oracle Listener
Oracle DBConsole
Installed Oracle 10.2.0.3 on new server
Ensured that the SID and all other Oracle services information matched the old server during installation on the new server.
Stopped all Oracle services on the new server (used the steps above).
Backed-up and test restored to new server.
Enterprise Manager shows: Listener Up Database Instance Down Agent Down
Any help would be appreciated

It would be good to know your operation system. I hope both new and old match or similar.
You can use RMAN to dumplicate you DB so you can follow [Creating a Duplicate Database on a New Host. Doc ID: 388431.1|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=388431.1]
but a simple file system copy based manual duplication is also possible if new and old OS system is similar...

Moving oracle database to a new server with an upgraded oracle software

Hi Guys,
Here is the scenario, we have an existing Oracle 9.2 demo database on a Solaris 5.9 server. I was asked to transfer this to another server with same OS but with an Oracle 10g software installed. The original plan was to mount the exisiting Oracle home from the original server to the new server and from there copy all the database files and bring up the database.
Here are the steps:
- Issue an "alter database backup controlfile to trace", get the script from the trace file
- Copy all database files to the new server
- Edit parameter files
- Do a startup mount recreate the control files, do a recover database, and startup the database on the new server.
I suggested that we to a transport tablespace but due to limited resources and that the 9.2 database does not have this feature we can't perform this process. I also can't do a exp/imp of the database since we really have limited resources on a disk. I was wondering if the steps I enumerated above are correct? Or would result in an error?

Hi,
why you want to recreate the controlfile, does the mount point locations are changing from old server to new server?
if you recreating controlfile new incarnation starts, keep in mind.
you have the downtime to upgrade.. :)
shutdown
take cold backup and move to new server.
create the directory structure as exist in PFILE including CRD files.
install software
startup upgrade
upgrade database(need to add sysaux TBS)
shut immediate
startup

change hostname in listner.ora/tnsnames.ora files.
Thanks

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.

Move database to the new server

Hello,
I have 10.2.0.1 Standard Edition database (7GB, not in archivelog mode) on Windows2003 server, and need to move it to the new server (same environment). I thought to use OEM Clone option, but it appears cloning to the other host is working only in Grid - and I have DB Control.
I know about manual cloning/recreation, but now looking into export and import option. So I think to install Oracle database on the new server, then import some relevant tablespaces exported from the old database. I will use datapump utility in OEM, under system username.
Is that a good approach ? What rules should be applied to avoid problems in that case ? Sorry if it's very basic question, never moved database before.
Marina

Options for porting the database from one server to another after installing Oracle on the new server incldue
Export/Import using expdp/impdp
Rman duplicate to compatiable hardware
Rman file conversion to non-compatiable hardware
On advantage of expdp/impdp is this option supports reconfiguring the database tablespace/file/object storage layout as part of the migration. Also the adoption of new features like ASSM.
A disadvantage is that using expdp/impdp will probably be slower and involve more DBA work than using file copies via rman. There are approaches to reduce the clock time necessary to support export/import and the work is often beneficial for long-term database management efforts.
There have been threads on this topic before and failry recently. You might want to hunt one or two of them down.

RMAN Hot backup Restore in new Server

Hi,
Our Current Environment:
Source: Current Production
Database: 11.1.0.7
OS: Windows server 2003 R2
Target Environemnt:
Database 11.2.0.1
OS:windows server 2008 R2
Here my scenario is need to take RMAN Hot backup in Prod Instance and need to restore in New Server with smae SID which is going to use as Prod instance.
Please suggest the detailed steps in order to achive the goal.
Waiting for your thoughts.
Thanks
Shaik

RMAN can make it easy to restore a database to a new host.
Notice that: Using RMAN RESTORE and RECOVER commands to move a database permanently to another host, will keep the original database identifier (DBID) and will therefore cause a conflict in the RMAN repository, because the restored database with the same DBID will be considered the current target database.
Below you may find the steps:
Preparing the New Host
Record the DBID of the source database.
Copy the initialization parameter file from the source database to the new host.
Make sure that all source database backups are available to the new host. Do not connect to the recovery catalog.
Restoring and Recovering on the New Host
Configure environment variables on the new host.
Connect to the new target database with NOCATALOG.
Set the DBID.
Start the instance with NOMOUNT.
Restore the SPFILE from backup.
Shut down the new instance.
Edit the PFILE.
Start the instance with NOMOUNT (again).
Create an RMAN RUN block to restore the control file.
Create an RMAN RUN block to restore and recover the database.
Open the database with RESETLOGS.

Restore database Error when restoring database to a new server

Hi folks,
I am oracle 10g on an AIX server (5.3).
I created an rman backup of a database. I then copied it over to a new server where I am trying to restore it (I just created the backup today). However, I am getting the error below.
Essentially, I used an initdb.ora file to create an instance of the database, and mounted it, on the new server. And then I ran a simple "restore database" command, the end of which is displayed below, with a "Restore complete. ..."
I have looked up this error (ora-01152) online and I cannot find a scenario which best provides me with a fix to my problem, about the file not being restored from a sufficiently old backup. Could any one help please?

RMAN backup restoring to new server help!

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. The production database was copied (datafiles, controlfile etc) to a NEW server that I'm trying to set up as a development DB. I take full database backups using RMAN from the production server, and I want to restore them on the development server. I think I somehow have to specify the filename/location of the backup file but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am not using a recovery catalog.
Any help is appreciated.

If you restore the controlfile backup to the development server RMAN
will "read" the expected location of the backupsets from there.
In 8i you cannot use the CATALOG command so you have to copy all
the backupsets to the same path on the development server as on the
production server.
Once you have your init.ora and controlfiles in place (and created the
expected target directory structure for the database and redolog files),
you can use STARTUP MOUNT and thene RESTORE from RMAN.
I believe that you should be able to rename files in 8i RMAN as well.
If not, you'll have to stick to restoring to the same location.
The key thing is that the controlfile records the "location" of the RMAN backupsets
and the "location" where datafiles are to be restored to.

Error when recovering a database in a new server

Hi folks,
I took a full RMAN backup from a Windows Server 2003 32bit and tried to restore it in a new server (Windows Server 2003 64bit). The restore was apparently ok, but when recovering, I got this error:
archived log for thread 1 with sequence 0 is already on disk as file /u01/app/oracle/oradata/GIEVOTE2/redo01.log

I tried to recover using backup controlfile until cancel but same error. I don't need to apply any archivelog as it is a testing env.
Info:
Oracle Server: 10g R1 (10.1.0.4)
DB Type: Single Instance
Thanks in advance,

You do not show your rman script, but if you are restoring to another server, you will need to do an incomplete recovery
This will require a 'set until' parameter.
eg:
run {
set until sequence xxx thread 1;
allocate channel dev1 type disk;
recover database;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
or
run {
set until time "to_date( '22-03-2010 10:00:00', 'DD-MM-RRRR HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate channel dev1 type disk;
recover database;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
If you do not use this it will keep requesting logs until it finds the end of thread marker (EOT) in a log, which occurs when the database is shutdown, and this will be a complete recovery

BACKUP FROM OLD SERVER & RESTORE TO NEW SERVER

Hi Imran,
In you have a full backup, using this existing backup further you can take incremental backups. The incremental backup is based on the previous full backup. The full and incremental backups is controlled by RMAN (Recovery manager).
You can take a full backup and restore the same in your new server and later take an incremental backup from your old server and restore it to the new server for all the delta changes made. By this you can make sure that your production data is made consistent in the new server.
If you have sufficient dowtime then, you can take a whole DB backup with redo log files and restore them in your new server.
There is no difference between whole backup and full backup, with respect to the database data.

check the OraBrcopy tool in this note. It might help you.

Restore on new server with new DB_NAME/SID?

My goal is to restore database with the RMAN backup on a server that has no connectivity to the production database (I don’t want to use duplicate command).
I restore a database from RMAN using a same DB_NAME/SID and everything was ok.
-     restore spfile
-     restore controlfile
-     restore database
-     recover database
-     open with reset logs
Now I want to restore database but with different DB_NAME/SID (My production database is PROD and I want to restore this PROD RMAN backup on new server and this new database I want to be called DEV).

Rman restore in new server?

My linux machine hardisk has crashed, i am rebuilt entire thing from begining, we have the rman backup & controlfiles & init.ora, pwd file in the tape.
How to rebuild the database from the new catalog. appreciate any body provide a rman step to restore & rebuild...
Adv thanks

>>
Whether i need to create catalog first?. Steps pls
>>
Tell us onething, were was the catalog kept? Was it in the same database? or any other database? or you were using controlfile instead catalog to backup your database?
Lets, catalog is maintained in another database or nocatalog (controlfile) is used to backup.
set oracle_sid
startup nomount
rman target /
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape';
restore controlfile to '<destination>';
sql "alter database mount";
restore database;
recover database;
sql "alter database open resetlogs";

Disastor Recovery with RMAN : Restore backup on new separate Server
Edited by: 873142 on Jul 18, 2011 9:27 PM

If you use a recovery catalog and want to duplicate database in a fresh server.
1. connect with the target database.
2. connect with the recovery catalog.
3. connect with the auxiliary database.
4. Run the duplicate command.
Before running the duplicate command copy the backup piece to your fresh server from the target server. Both mount point should be same.

Change the hostname after Database move to new server in Windows

We are moving database from one server to new server on Windows running 9.2.0.6. Temporarily the new server is named as XYZ after the database is moved. We want to change the servername to ABC , what changes is required ??
I think only tnsnames and listener.ora is required to be changed. Is anything else need to be changed for Intellligent Agent to work properly ??? Nothing in Registry I believe ???
Thanks
Atul

nothing to change in registry.Just stop the database and services and restart after renaming and rebooting.
change the client tnsnames too if host name is specified.

Then apparently you are not using the Restore command correctly. We cannot read your mind nor see your desktop, so telling us that something doesn't work without specifying exactly what you are doing is not much help. And while I'm at it, the
term "server" is not particularly meaningful since it might refer to your physical machine or it might refer to an instance of sql server (and there can be multiple instances running on a physical machine). The best way to get answers and useful responses
is to post the query you are using. And the best way to learn sql server is to write your tsql commands rather than use the SSMS GUI.
And I'll point out that your original "requirements" are impossible to meet - 2 (or more) databases cannot share the same physical file names.
