Restoring and recovering datafiles in standby database

Hi,
oracle version : 8i(8.1.7.0.0)
os : sun solaris
I have scenerio where i lost some of the datafiles in standby database(physical standby) and i do have standby cold backup 3 months older since database size is 1TB is can i restore the the only lost files from cold backup and recover using archivelog files. since i only lost 4 data files of size 4gb each it will be faster compare to restoring the whole TB size database.
appreciated for valuable inputs.
Thanks

hi.
Its not necessary its a otherway around to recover datafile from this backupset and apply archivelogs to make datafile consistent.
yes, it ain't the right way to restore backup to primary location.
so how would i connect to standby database with primary and recovery catalog.
i need to connect to recovery catalog and primary site because i need to restore to primary location and recovery catalog contain all metadata and backupsets related information.
i also tried the following steps from oracle documentation.
Connect to the standby database as the target database:
CONNECT TARGET sys@standby
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Connect to the primary database as the auxiliary database:
CONNECT AUXILIARY sys@primary
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Back up the datafile on the standby host across the network to a location on the primary host. For example, suppose that /disk1/df2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the standby host. Suppose that /disk8/datafile2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the primary host. The following command would copy datafile 2 over the network to /disk9/df2copy.dbf:
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE 2 AUXILIARY FORMAT '/disk9/df2copy.dbf';
Starting backup at 06-NOV-08
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

Recover datafile in standy database

Hi All,
I have few queries in standby database.I need your help.
1)If a datafile is corrupted(ex sysaux) in standby.How to recover that file in standby.Need steps.
2)If a datafile is corrupted in primary.we will recover the datafile in primary.Will it affect standby database do we have to perform any recovery operations in standby?.
Thanks & Regards

Welcome to the Forum,
follow the steps bellow
1-Stop Redo Apply.
2-Determine the value of the UNTIL_SCN column, as follows:
SQL> SELECT MAX(NEXT_CHANGE#)+1 UNTIL_SCN FROM V$LOG_HISTORY LH, V$DATABASE
DB WHERE LH.RESETLOGS_CHANGE#=DB.RESETLOGS_CHANGE# AND LH.RESETLOGS_TIME =
DB.RESETLOGS_TIME;
UNTIL_SCN
967786
3-Execute the following RMAN commands to restore and recover datafiles on the standby database. You must be connected to both the standby and recovery catalog databases (use the TARGET keyword to connect to standby instance):
RESTORE DATAFILE <n,m,...>;
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SCN 967786;
To restore a tablespace, use the RMAN 'RESTORE TABLESPACE <tbs_name1, tbs_name2, ...>' command.
4- Restart Redo Apply.

Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

Error in Check DB after RESTORE and RECOVER

Hi Team,
System was partially restored and recovered due hardware failure.
We had 3 file systems that had to be restored and in one of them we has "/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2" data file.
After the restore and recovery , the system was up.When ran check DB , the get the below error message and when i checked in DB02 , everytime when trying to see the datafile inside PSAPTEMP , there is a short dump with the same error message listed below.
Database error text........: "ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 256 -
see DBWR trace file#ORA-01110: data file 256:
'/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2'"
When checked the restore , looks like "oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2'" was not restored.
Kindly help to check how to correct this error. Even my online backup's are failing.

Hello Priyanka,
how did you restore your database?
The temporary files are not included in a backup, because they are not needed for a recovery - that works as designed.
After the recovery you have to add these files again.
If you would have used brrecover for restoring/recovering your database the temporary files would be added automatically.
Check the documentation here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/6e/4c37b85dc7f24d88f177396dc45645/content.htm
Now you have to do this manually like this:
shell> sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2' REUSE;

Relocating datafiles on standby database after mount point on stanby is ful

Hi,
We have a physical standby database.
The location of datafiles on primary database are at /oracle/oradata/ and the location of datafiles on standby database are at /oracle/oradata/
Now we are facing a situation of mount mount getting full on standby database so we need to move some tablespaces to another location on standby.
Say old location is /oracle/oradata/ and new location is /oradata_new/ and the tablespaces to be relocated are say tab1 and tab2.
Can anybody tell me whether following steps are correct.
1. Stop managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
2. Shutdown standby database
shutdown immediate;
3. Open standby database in mount stage
startup mount;
4. Copy the datafiles to new location say /oradata_new/ using os level command
4. Rename the datafile
alter database rename file
'/oracle/oradata/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oracle/oradata/tab1.123452.dbf','/oracle/oradata/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oracle/oradata/tab2.123452.dbf'
to '/oradata_new/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oradata_new/tab1.123452.dbf','/oradata_new/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oradata_new/tab2.123452.dbf';
5. Edit the parameter db_file_name_convert
alter system set db_file_name_convert='/oracle/oradata/tab1','/oradata_new/tab1','/oracle/oradata/tab2','/oradata_new/tab2'
6. Start a managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
I am littelbit confused in step 5 as we want to relocate only two tablespaces and not all tablespaces so we have used.
Can we use db_file_name_convert like this i.e. does this work for only two tablespaces tab1 and tab2.
Thanks & Regards

8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE 2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
3> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
SEQUENCE# APP
8 YES
9 YES
10 YES
11 YES
4 rows selected.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Shut down the standby database:
SQL> SHUTDOWN;
Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Start and mount the standby database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'

How to add datafile to standby database

Hi,
We have standby database on another site and we are using manual recovery. How to add datafile to standby database after datafile is added to primary database.
We are on Oracle 9i R2.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When you recover the standby database after you added a datafile to the production, you will get an error that the file that needs recovery does not exist.
At this point you can connect to the standby and issue:
alter database create datafile '<original_name>' as '<new_name>';the new name is optional if the location of the files are the same.
After that, you can continue recovering the standby database.

Restore and recover tablespace(s) in another db using RMAN

Hi,
I'm using Oracle Standard edition 11gR2, actually that's why I'm posting this thread because I can't use TRANSPORT TABLESPACE feature.
I need to restore and recover two tablespaces, backed up in source database in another database. The destination db has been duplicated from the source db a couple of days ago so the structure is identical.
I cannot use Data Pump on this specific tablespace, because it causes some strange behavior in our application. So I took a backup from tablespaces and now I'm looking for a solution to restore and recover it in another db.
Is there any command to restore a tablespace from a specific file? I googled a lot and no luck so far..
Any ideas?
P.S: I use controlfile instead of recovery catalog.
Edited by: aLuViAn on Dec 2, 2012 11:55 PM

I have a backup schedule to take daily full backups (twice) and hourly incremental backup. So yes, I have backup!
P.S: I also tried the following:
restore tablespace REG_DATA from 'temp_ERIS0_hjnru4ss_1_1.rman';

Diff btw "recover datafile file#" & "alter database recover datafile file#"

What is the difference between
"recover datafile file#"
"alter database recover datafile file#"
Thanks
Naveen

I don't mean to be rude, but the statement that "There is no difference in both the commands" is facile in the extreme. Sounds like more off-the-cuff instant advice than the considered thoughts of someone who's actually bothered to try both commands out.
The "alter database recover..." command is a disaster waiting to happen and should never be used by anyone who actually wants to achieve a successful database recovery. It has the effect of suppressing most of the interactive dialogue you get when you submit the shorter "recover..." command, and indeed causes spurious errors to be displayed because the non-interactive recovery process gets it wrong.
For example, here's me recovering my database using the "alter database" syntax:
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 4: 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\WIN10\USERS01.DBF'
SQL> alter database recover datafile 4;

ORA-00280: change 642359 for thread 1 is in sequence #9Note the slightly alarming report of an 'error at line 1'. What's difficult to convey in mere text, however, is that at the end of that output, the thing just sits there, and you've no idea what on Earth is happening on the database. The text tells you it's making a suggestion, but there's no indication of how you accept the suggestion, of what's happening when you do accept it or where anything is up to.
I've interrupted one of those once (fortunately only in a training room) and lost the entire database as a result (because a half-complete, interrupted recovery is worse than no recovery at all).
Compare that with the plain "recover..." syntax example:
SQL> recover datafile 4;
ORA-00279: change 642359 generated at 07/04/2008 09:03:18 needed for thread 1

Media recovery complete.There are no weird error messages reported here. The suggestion is accompanied by a prompt that tells you how to accept it. Every time a new log is required, a new prompt is given. You can cleanly cancel at any time by typing 'cancel'. You are kept informed throughout and are in charge throughout.
Anyone that uses "alter database" syntax during a recovery is, therefore, either brave or foolhardy. In either case, there is a very profound difference between the two.
Your parting shot that 'alter database' is a SQL command and 'recover' can be an RMAN command misses the point by a wide mile, too. RMAN can issue pretty much any piece of SQL you like, so long as you wrap it in the SQL command:
RMAN> sql 'alter database recover datafile 4';
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

The distinction you seek to draw between 'SQL commands' and 'RMAN commands' is false in this case, in other words.

Restoring and recovering and encrypted backup.

Hi,
I'm in the early stages of implementing encryption of RMAN backups using the Oracle Wallet to store the key.
I don't yet have a box to test the restore on but thought I see if anyone has any experience they can share of restoring and recovering encrypted backups?
Some questions I have include at what point does the wallet have to be opened during the restore? Is the wallet opened at the NOMOUNT step by the instance?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Before dropping a DB we had taken an RMAN backup.I hope you were in mount mode.
Will RMAN automatically recognize the FORMAT of the backup piece and restore ?No it won't.
First you have to restore a controlfile in nomount mode with:
restore controlfile from '/u04/backup/rmanbkp /02mo9fnc_1_1';
and do alter database mount.
Than you have to run "catalog start with '/u04/backup/rmanbkp'; " so the instance now knows where to find the pieces.
Now you can run a restore database command.
Than open the database with resetlogs.

TS3694 Can't restore and recover iPhone 4s. Keep getting The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). Help please!

Please help. I simply connected my iPhone 4s to my Dell laptop (Win 8) which connected to iTunes automatically (which it normally does) and was told that I needed to update my software (I believe for both iPhone OS and iTunes). I tried to update and now my iPhone won't work at all. I just keep going in circles trying to restore and recover and I keep getting the error message: The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). All I see on my iPhone 4s screen is a cable connector, a little up arrow, and an iTunes symbol--and nothing else works.

Restore and recover Logic 8 after main OS boot disk crash

Hi,
I want to restore and recover Logic 8 and the software i use with it (Apogee Maestro,UAD Quad & Waves plug-ins) to a new boot disk. I have both a back up of the main OS drive on a drive with Time Machine and a disk copy of the main drive (on another) as i had it before the boot disk crashed. My question is which is the best option to take when restoring the OS etc? As I have heard that there is a couple of bugs and issues when restoring via Time Machine. Is restoring via the disk copy a simple procedure? Or, should i reinstall everything completely from scratch and copy back the receipts and authorizations perhaps? Can you point me towards the best link/method to get my setup back on track?
Yours sincerely,
KFK
ps.. i'm using an apogee symphony pci card

Thanks for your reply John, but that didn't do the trick for me. I called Apple's professional audio support. Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, the support was awesome - the guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Basically, the error I'm experiencing is a nasty one if it appears with pro apps like Logic. He indicated my only recourse was to re-install Logic. Since I'm on Logic 7, I figured if I have to re-install, might as well upgrade to Logic 8. I'm mid-project right now, so I'm pretty nervous doing that, but not much choice.

Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

Restore datafile to standby database

dear all,
i have a standby database which use raw devices under solaris 9.
and a primary database which use filesystem under solaris 9 too.
recently i have a problem which is nologging issue. see ML 290161.1
my question is how we know that when restore to raw devices through rman, will it replace file in the raw?
or should I create new raw and directing my new restore to new raw?

ujang
