RMAN Help PLS Ro

Hallo ...
I'm new like DBA and in the second day I have already I problem .... so
It's 10g Database ... i perform a recovery and i open database use resetlogs command ...
when i try to perform backup from OEM I receive this message ...."UNTIL TIME or RECOVERY WINDOW is before RESETLOGS time"
I read the message posted on teh forum but i did not understand what i have to do ( I'm so sorry because i don;t speak and write very well in English)
PLS HELP
THX

Hi,
you receive this message because UNTIL TIME and RECOVERY WINDOW cannot be less than the database creation time or RESETLOGS time.
I suppose you have a recovery window setted.
Try to use a lower value for that.
Acr

Can you help me? I meet errors when I do incomplete recovery with RMAN

In recover step, There are following errors:
RMAN-11001: Oracle Error: ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/d/db/oradata/db01/system01.dbf'
question:
1. Should I restore archive log files generated on July 16th back to orignal archive directory in order to avoid to recover failure?
2. Or Should I add the command "sql 'alter system archive log current'" in the backup script in order to avoid to recover failure?
The following is the detail information:
The database is ok when I try to do incomplete recovery database that was fully backed up on July,16th,2004. The database is oracle 8.1.7 and is in the archive mode:
The following is the backup script:
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=db01,OB2BARLIST=ora8i_online)';
backup incremental level 0 filesperset 1
format 'ora8i_online<db01_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
database
include current controlfile
archivelog all delete input;
I use it to do a full backup on July 16th,17th successfully.
And I use the following scripts to do incomplete recovery:
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=ORACLE8,OB2APPNAME=db01)';
sql "alter database mount";
set until time ='17.07.2004';
restore database;
recover database;
sql "alter database open resetlogs";
sql "alter database open";
There script is successful in restore step. But there are some errors in recover step. The detail information is showing in following log:

1. Should I restore archive log files generated on July 16th back to original archive directory in order to avoid to recover failure?
2. Or Should I add the command "sql 'alter system archive log current'" in the backup script in order to avoid to recover failure?
Can you help me ? Thank you.

You are correct. In RMAN8i, you should add the "alter system archive log current; command before you backup the archive logs.
You are running into the case where Oracle needs additional redo to make the database consistent that was located in the current online log at the time of the backup.
If you set UNTIL TIME to an earlier time does the recover work?
In Oracle9i, if you issue the command, "backup database plus archive logs", RMAN will automatically archive the current online log before performing the archive log backups.
Thanks, Tammy

Please help with RMAN dup for RAC db

Happy Holidays!! All,
I need help with the following issue:
Both target and auxiliary databases are:
Database version is 10.2.0.3 with 2-node RAC db
Servers are MS 2003
Oracle Clusterware 10.2.0.3
Oracle ASM for storage
I have run the rman dup from RAC to a single instance db for a while. This is the first time I ran from RAC to RAC. This auxiliary db was refreshed before and was up for a while and was managed by server control tool. Now I am trying to refresh it with new backup files from production. I did the following as people suggested:
1)     shutdown instance in the second node.
2)     Startup nomount mode in the first node
3)     Run RMAN dup
It failed in the same place with slightly different errors. I pasted error messages at the bottom. I already created a TAR with Oracle but would like to know if anybody has any info related to this. Also I have several questions to ask:
1)     Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
2)     Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
3)     Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
4)     How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
Thanks a lot for your help and have a great holiday season!!!

1) Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
No, you just need to stop the second instance.
2) Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
No, you don't need to stop anything. Just have the instance startup nomount.
3) Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
You have not shown enough information. Did the restore succeed ? Did the recover succeed ? What was it doing when it failed ?
4) How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
Yes, srvctl remove database is all you need. (unless you also want to remove from listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, oratab etc)

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.

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%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 ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

Restore from rman - kindly help

Hi,
I'm new with RMAN and need some help from experts here.
my database is in archivelog.
version: 10.2.0.3
rman with recovery catalog.
I have backup my database (online) using rman by executing the following:
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk1;
backup database format 'db_%u_%d_%s';
backup format 'log_t%t_s%s_p%p'
(archivelog all);
after backup up, i deleted my datafiles, controlfiles, redologs, archivelogs. may i know how can i restore the db using the backup set?>
thanks

You need to startup the database using the snapshot controlfile then connect to the database using RMAN
rman target /
Then you can commence an incomplete recovery. Do a 'list backup summary' or even better 'list backup' to check that the backup/s is/are listed in there. One method is to work out what point in time you can restore using 'set until scn|time', the maximum point at your last backup (usually max/last SCN on the last archivelog -1). Remember, because it is an incomplete recovery you need to open database resetlogs and regardless of complete/incomplete recreate TEMP (although this may already get recreated in 10g).
As recommended see the documentation.

RMAN-20999: internal error on standby....help

Hey guys,
A little background of events of what happened:
1) data guard got broken
2) rebuild data guard
in the rebuild process I took the /backup mount point from primary database NFS mounted it to the alternate database.(The reason I did that was because it was going to take too much time to transfer over the backups from the primary to the alternate).
During this process while /backup1 was NFS mounted, i had to add "alter system set event='10298 trace name context forever, level 32'scope= spfile ; " to my spfile.
3) finished the data guard rebuild
4) NFS unmounted /backup from primary (take out alter system set event='10298 trace name context forever, level 32'scope= spfile ; from spfile)
5)bounce database and re sync data guard
5) data guard is in sync and everything is fine
Now comes the trouble..
went to the standby side and went to run rman.
here it is:
RMAN> @connect.rman
RMAN> connect target *
connected to target database: AFCD1D1 (DBID=3242165457, not open)
RMAN> connect catalog *
connected to recovery catalog database

so I thought maybe the primary database needs to do a full re sync.
I did that still no help
I also search on oracle support, couldn't find anything useful.
Just to play with it
-I went to the primary db-recreated the standby controlfile
-went to the standby , shut db down. copied the standby controlfile over to the standby server
-restarted the dataguard
Data Guard is in sync
went to rman and same issue.
Any help would be appreciated!!
PS. The rman backups were working before data guard was broken.

Hi,
First of all I would not use RMAN as a tablespace name. It may be confusing oracle and besides it maybe a reserved term not available for use and a cause for some of those errors listed.
But here is what is in my notes that work.
After the database is created named RCAT you must create the user RMAN. It is then after he is created the program will run.
Create user RMAN
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE CATTBS
'D/ORACLE/ORADATA/RECAT' SIZE 5M
AUTOEXTEND ON;
CREATE USER RMAN IDENTIFIED BY RMANTEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
DEFAULT TABLESPACE CATTBS
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON CATTBS;
After the user has been created you need to grant some permissions for him to use.
GRANT RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER TO RMAN;
COMMIT;
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE TO RMAN;Now you need to create the RECOVERY CATALOG
Go to the host operating system oracle/ora81/bin/RMAN.EXE and execute this script the following prompt shows up.
RMAN>
You now need to create the CATALOG in tablespace CATTBS.
RMAN>CREATE CATALOG TABLESPACE CATTBS;
responds with
RMAN>RECOVERY CATALOG CREATED
Now you need to run these two scripts CATALOG.SQL AND CATPROC.SQL
RMAN>@D:\ORACLE\ORA81\RDBMS\ADMIN\CATALOG.SQL
\CATPROC.SQL
Running these two scripts now allows you to view the recovery catalog views.
This completes the setup of the recovery catalog database.
Now connect to your target
RMAN> connect target internal/oracle@ora
RMAN> connect RCVCAT rman/rman@rcat
Give the command to register database:
RMAN>register database
it responds with
RMAN>database registered in recovery catalog
You need to connect to the RCAT database with the following command:
RMAN>CONNECT CATALOG RMAN/RMAN@RCAT;
Hope this format helps.

Help needed with rman script

Hi guys,
I need you help in creating rman scripts.
my plan is the following:
- at night i would like to make a backup of the database, archivelogs, control file and spfile. then delete the archivelogs on disk.
- during the day i would like to make every hour, a backup level 1, archivelogs and crontrol file.
my questions are:
for the night backup is the following script ok?
run {
set command id to 'xxx';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
change archivelog all;
backup archivelog all delete input;
backup current controlfile;
BACKUP SPFILE;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
and for the daily backup (run on every hour) what do you think about this? is it ok?
run {
set command id to 'xxx';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times;
backup current controlfile;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
please help.
Message was edited.

Hi Alanm,
Right now the DB is generating many archives, that doesn't mean that we cant adapt the script in the future if less archives are generated.
By saying "You don't have to make the archive log script an incremental 1 backup" you mean that, since we are already making a backup at night to the archives, theres no need to make them also during the incremental 1?
and for the rest, do you thing the script is ok?

Hi,
Happy new year for you too!!!
From Metalink Note:105208.1:
There is no 'magic' formula to calculate the storage space of an RMAN backup
and there is no query that will give you a space estimate.
So, the best answer is: "Try it and see how much is used."
