Rman duplicate from active database slow

Hi,
I am doing a duplicate database from active database, it seems to either slow or hanging. Can someone suggest any tips or pointers to debug this issue?

ORA-01017 when RMAN duplicate from active database

Hello, ORACLE guru's!
I've got some trouble trying to duplicate DB via RMAN duplicate from active database.
The script is simple:

RMAN duplicate from ACTIVE DATABASE

Hi,
I am trying to create a new 11.2.0.1 database by duplicating an existing 11.2.0.1 database using Rman with 'from active database' option.
I have created a password file and listener is configured as well.
The aux database is started in nomount state.
rman
connect target sys/pwd123@SRCDB
connect auxiliary sys/pwd123@AUXDB
duplicate target database to AUXDB
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE;
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?
Regards,
Aravind

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 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?

As you can see, I get the error RMAN-06181.
So my question is: is duplication from active database supported in the standard edition?
If it is, then what do I need th do to make this work?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, this is it.
I tested only three cases before:
- not allocating any channel
- allocating local channel only
- allocating auxiliary channel only
I need to allocate both channels in the run block, then it works.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Duplicate from Active database

Hi,
I have RAC primary database running in 11.2.0.3 with linux 5(dc). We also have configured RAC cluster on DR site recently.Now we need to create stanby database on DR site.
For this is have following doubts
My database size is 6TB(from dba_segmnets) and total is 14TB(from dba_data_files)
1) How duplicate of active database works internally? Does it copy the exact file to standby site for example copy datafile(which is of 5GB in size) and send it over to standby over network?
2) Both primary and standby sites are in different states, so i was thinking to backup the primary database first to tapes and then courier tapes to dr site and then finally restore and recover standby.
I have doubts in above approaches which should i implement. I think active database duplication will skip a)backup time b) courier time. Is that correct?
However if my database size is 14TB and using 1st method, does it send files to dr worth of 14TB size?

I am working on active database duplication and has below issue. Can any one help me on this?

发生情景
将旧库home目录Clone到同机另一文件夹并做完所有操作后，欲进行duplicate
在新home目录中
1.新建pfile initdbacoe.ora如下
DB_NAME=dbacoe
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u03/apps/oracle/oradata/hzdbacoe/,/u03/app/oracle/oradata/dbacoe/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u03/apps/oracle/oradata/hzdbacoe/,/u03/app/oracle/oradata/dbacoe/)
2.新建orapw file=orapwdbacoe.ora password=oracle
3.mkdir -p $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/dbacoe并赋好权限
4.根据该pfile起至 nomount阶段instance为dbacoe
5.在该目录的listener.ora中新建一个监听，并将dbacoe服务注册进入该监听，端口为1530
在原库所在环境变量中
修改tnsname.ora 加入dbacoe信息如下：
dbacoe =

(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dbacoe)

找到原因了，还是官方文档看得不仔细
2.At the RMAN prompt, run CONNECT commands for the database instances required for your duplication technique:
◦For active database duplication, you must connect to the source database as TARGET and to the auxiliary instance as AUXILIARY. You must use the same SYSDBA password for both instances and must supply the net service name to connect to the AUXILIARY instance. A recovery catalog connection is optional
唉，把大量时间花在组织提问上了，希望大家引以为戒。有时候，更该去清洗一下思路，重新着手

Duplicate from active database failed

I have built two RAC nodes as primary and two RAC nodes as standby. Both database versions are 1120301 and linux servers are REDHAT 5.
I followed oracle MAA rapid deployment of 11gr2 dataguard whitepaper and started rman duplicate last night.

I followed this link each step, and it seems did not say cluster_database need to be false?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-11g-rac-standby-133152.pdf
Yes, even it is not saying it should TRUE not it should be FALSE.
But i saw another MAA document on RAC primary & RAC standby from below link, we can put that parameter.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10g-racprimaryracphysicalsta-131940.pdf
In this link, even it mentioned Standby parameters also, So you can change accordingly.
Thats why i asked you to please do refer alert log file and post if any errors, i doubt on unexpected error is there any failure from other resources? If you post that would be helpful
Again coming to errors,
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLESo instance is crashed ?
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channelWhen remote instance is unable to communicate.
Also check any firewalls been set?
Is there parameter SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME been set?
I can see three files are backed up, Later it got disconnected/crashed.
I guess there would be some issues with Network
or
SGA problems on standby?
These information you can get from Alert log file why it standby instance is crashed ?

Rman duplicate on Active dataguard physical standby

In DR site. i have to clone the database from pshysical standby database and clone db will be normal db not standby. Is it possible to do rman duplicate from active dataguard? will it support the duplicate database from active database or i have to take the rman backup of standby database and duplicate from backup piece. please advise

Please check below link

How reliable is DUPLICATE .. FROM ACTIVE DATABASE ?

Version : 11.2.0.3
Platform : OEL 6
DUPLICATE .. FOR STANDBY FROM ACTIVE DATABASE doesn't involve taking any RMAN Backup files. Right? Just transferring data across the network.
Given that I have a good network throughput, how reliable it is to use this feature to create a standby from a 2 TeraByte Primary ? The standby DB will be created in our Data Center located 50KM away from the Primary Site.

The standby DB will be created in our Data Center located 50KM away from the Primary Site.2TB is not a small database to perform Duplicate from ACTIVE Database, Yes as you said there is no more need of backups from 11g if you use ACTIVE database.
Do not consider of the distance, Consider the bandwidth speed between two sites and how fast data can transfer and how stable it is.
You can test the network speed by transferring any one of the big file using SCP also, On top of that you can estimate how much time it can complete and ensure there is no network glitches/interruptions to avoid failure duplicate.

RMAN 11gR2 DUPLICATE TARGET FOR STANDBY FROM ACTIVE DATABASE - Issue -HELP

First question.
Can primary and standby database have the same SID name?
As I recall it is yes.
I believe they must have different GLOBAL or DB_UNIQUE_NAME?
Anyway, RMAN I believe is telling me it is having problems copying control file on first and dies.

Hi,
Permissions Issue on STANDBY machine?First problem I see is the sysdba password must be the same on both sides (target and auxiliary dbs).
From the documentation.
The source database and auxiliary instances must use the same SYSDBA password, which means that both instances must have password files. You can
create the password file with a single password so you can start the auxiliary instance and enable the source database to connect to it.Check all prereqs for the standby db duplicate here.

Rman clone duplicate database from active database

Hi All,
I read document saying that rman can duplicate database from active database (prod) to a remote server, so long as you configure listener and tnsname.
I am working toward it.
I met a problem, which is when i bring up auxiliary database in nomount mode, the listener service of that auxiliary database is in BLOCKED status, and throw out ora-12528 error when I rman auxiliary sys/pass@clonedb. Isn't nomount mode the mode which auxiliary db is supposed to be in?
(ora-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections)
Thanks,
milic

You may have run into the same problem like I did recently:
The (UR=A) clause in tnsnames.ora is intended to work with a dynamically registered handler so the use of SERVICE_NAME versus SID is preferred.
ORA-12528: TNS listener BLOCKED - trying to duplicate database
Also for further problems:

I use:
duplicate target database for standby from active database
spfile

Hello;
Script has to be run from auxiliary.
Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@recover2 auxiliary=sys/@reclone
Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Feb 22 14:50:31 2012

connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@primary auxiliary=sys/@standby
