RMAN Scripts for 9i RAC

We have just recently started to use Oracle 9i RAC on Red Hat linux 2.1. And we are going to use RMAN for backing up the archived logs.
Currently we have 2 node cluster and the archived logs of respective nodes are on their respective local hard disk. e.g for node1 logs are archived on /arch1 and for node2 on /arch2 individually.
Can I have some sample RMAN scripts for backing and restoring the logs of this individual nodes.?
An early guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks

you can use the same scripts as you where running before you upgraded to RAC. The main difference is that to distribute the load you can allocate channels from other nodes. A simple backup could be done as follows:
#rman
#connect target /
#connect catalog rman/cat@cat
#run{
#allocate channel ch1 type sbt_tape;
#allocate channel ch2 type sbt_tape;
#configure channel 1 device type 'SBT_TAPE' connect = 'node 1'
#configure channel 2 device type 'SBT_TAPE connect = 'node 2'
#backup database;
that will work (he says) but thats the main difference, remember oracle only recommend you allocate the same number of channels as you have devices (EG if you have 2 tape drives you can allocate 2 channels to maximize effiantcy)...
hope this helps a bit,

RMAN script for RAC Hot Backup

Anyone who want to share an RMAN script to Hot Backup a 9i RAC Database.

Try to remove the DURATION option in your script.
Here more details about that part.

RMAN script for hot backup (looking for code critic) code attached.

Hello Guru's,
I have been having soem trouble running a successful hot full rman backup nightly.
We max our CPU load whenever our RMAN takes too long and conflicts with a Legato tape backup. I have a development server that I attempted to get a consistent backup time duration that is rock solid as to not conflict with the Legato backup time.
I just found out about duration with RMAN scripts here is my code:
#!/bin/bash
#rman backup script for daily hot whole database backup
at -f /hd1/rman_scripts/rman_backup 0600 tomorrow
rman target/
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format '/path/%U';
backup duration 1:00 partial minimize load database filesperset 1;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' database;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' archivelog all delete all input;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel d1;
exit
It completes the backup, but does not use the 1 hour allocated- it only uses 15 minutes on average and creates many files instead of normally three backup files.
Here is the results from querying the v$rman_status table for operation,status,start_time:
RMAN,FAILED, 17-OCT-06 0600
BACKUP,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0600
RMAN,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0615
RMAN,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
REPORT,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
DELETE,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
However, the timestamps of the backupset files it creates is:
06:15 and not 1513?????????????
RMAN appears to have only taken 15 minutes to create the files, why do I have a completed timestamp from v$rman_status of 1513???
Please advise and comment, I am just learning RMAN.

RMAN script for Unix

We have decided to abandon user managed hot backups and go with RMAN. Could you critizize the following approach and see if we are missing anything? I am making whole database backup and controlfile and archivelogs. I am using RMAN catalog.
In a Unix script setting all of the environment variables and then
connect target ********
connect catalog *********
configure snapshot controlfile to '${ORACLE_HOME}/snapshot_${ORACLE_SID}_${TIMESTAMP}_ctl';
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
allocate channel c3 type disk;
backup database plus archivelogs;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
p.s. control file autobackup is on
Also, I have these questions:
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
thank you for any input!

Hi,
You didnot mention the db version, assumed it's 10g.
If you planned to schedule this job at os level, you might use crontab (unix). The snapshot controlfile config can set with catalog once, so it's not needed to include in your backup script. Like wise your retention can set as "recovery window of 7 days".
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
==> inside rman script you might use the following command,
set log to '/home/oracle/rmanbkp.log';
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
==> you might check in the logfile for ORA- and RMAN- errors.
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
I use to schedule this job either by OEM or crontab using rman script file.
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
RMAN will do auto sync with controlfile.
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
Upon successful backup you may delete the archivelogs or you might decide to keep it for 7 days and then delete by applying "delete obsolete" command.
Thanks,

RMAN Backup script for RAC Database..please suggest

Hi All,
I am currently working on backup policy for RAC Database for my client.The client requirement is to backup while database is shutdown(mount state).I have made below script and could any one please suggest what further things should I need to add with below rman script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Start Full Database Backup on";date
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog <<EOF
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';
run{
allocate channel c1 device type disk connect 'sys/******@node1-vip:1521/PROD';
allocate channel c2 device type disk connect 'sys/*****@node2-vip:1521/PROD';
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD_df_%t_%s_%p.bak'(database);
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/archive_%t_%s_%p.bak' archivelog all;
copy current controlfile to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD.ctl';
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
exit
EOF
echo "RMAN Backup Finished on";date
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
echo "Start Database";date
srvctl start database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
Please share your experiences.
Regards

Hi,
Some tweaks for your script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount1. If you database does not shutdown properly , does your script stops the execution of next step?
2. configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';(Why you need to configure this every time) ?
It's persistent at db level one time setting (until some other script changes the settings by other dba - else remove that - set the configuration at db level once for all)

Rman backup for rac by oem

Br,Hi,
DB : 10.2 and 11.2
How to schedule rman backup for cluster in OEM?How to schedule without OEM?
If one of the node failed,Is it possible to run in another node automatcially?
How to schduel export/datadump in rac by oem?
Br,
Raj

I Am not using oem, without oem you should write several scripts....
for linux hot backup(archive log enabled):
bck.sh
set ORACLE_SID=mydb
set ORACLE_HOME=....
rman target sys/.... @'.../bck.ora'
bck.ora
run
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET FORMAT "..../db_%d_%T_%s_%p_%U.bak" INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT FORMAT "...../archivelogBackup/arch_%d_%T_%s_%p_%U.bak";
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 script errors out for some DB's

I have a single RMAN script that uses env variables to execute RMAN for two databases. It runs fine. I cloned the two DB's (changed DBID's), all four are on the same host. Now I try to use same script for all four. I receive an error when trying to run against the cloned databases. Here is script:
spool log to full.log append;
connect catalog rman/xxxxxx@iasrman
connect target /
run {
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE';
backup incremental level 0 database diskratio=0 plus archivelog delete input;
And here is error, it stops same place everytime, input appreciated.

Shell script for RMAN backup

Hi,
on 10G R2 in AIX 6.1
I'm looking for Shell script for RMAN backup.
Moreover , if we should connect like this :

backup as compressed backupset format '$savdir/ctl_%d_%T_%s_%p' current controlfile;
exit
EOFHow to avoid writting password in shell script ?
Thank you.

Write a ms dos script for rman backup

both files are located in C drive.. and oracle is installed to E drive... oracle path has set already.
can anybody please give me a hand to solve this issue please...
Thanks in Advance,
Max

write a ms dos script for rman backupImpossible. rman does not support MS-DOS. It is not a 16bit real mode application that can be run inside the MS-DOS operating system.
So get your terminology straight - the Windows console is a character based 32bit virtual machine. It is not MS-DOS. It never was MS-DOS. Do not confuse the two simply because of superficial similarities. A stick-it note can be yellow - but because it is yellow does not mean it is a banana.

The problem here is probably with your standby init.ora file.
When you create a standby database, the db_name parameter must NOT change. It has to match the primary database. So in your case, db_name ='PROD' and your db_unique_name='DPROD'...

Please review the RMAN script and throw any comments which will increase KB

Dear Sirs:
I would be grateful if anyone in this forum checks whether the RMAN strategy taken by me is OK or require any room for improvement. I have not yet
moved into production.
Environment: ORACLE 10G R2 running on RAC, RHEL 4.0 for Intel Itanium. RMAN script runs every night at 10PM from node 1 of 2.
ASM is used and all datafiles, controlfiles, arc, redo in SAN
Process:
<1> Empty folder "PreviousdayBackup
<2> Move backup of yesterday night to "PreviousdayBackup"
<3> Execute RMAN the script provided below.
run {
     backup
          filesperset=15
          incremental level 0
          spfile format '/archive/backup/rman/spfile_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'spfile_backup'
          database format '/archive/backup/rman/data_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'full_data_backup';
          crosscheck backup;
          sql 'alter system archive log current';
          crosscheck archivelog all;
          backup filesperset 288 format '/archive/backup/rman/cscdb_data_archive_%d_%u' archivelog all delete input;
          delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
          delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
          delete noprompt obsolete;
          backup current controlfile format '/archive/backup/rman/%d_data_control_%s_%p_%u' tag 'control_file';
The Tape runs at 3:00AM in the morning and takes all the files from '/archive/backup/rman/'
_*RMAN Configuration*_
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;

I am also not getting the concepts properly on :
delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
Is the delete within the RMAN pieces or within the folder. It would be great if someone can explain me on these
Awaiting for your kind response

Hi emre baransel :
Step 1: Delete from folder "previousdaybackup"
Step 2: Move last night backup from "/archive/backup/rman" to "previousdaybackup"
Step 3: Run RMAN and backup is stored at "/archive/backup/rman"
Stpe 4: Data is backed up to DLT cartridge from "/archive/backup/rman"
The folder "/archive/backup/rman" is a separate partition from SAN mounted in the LINUX SYSTEM as ext3
Why did you chose filesperset=15, do you have specific purpose?Well I am looking at existing RMAN in the place and not changing any basic configuration. Frankly speaking I do not have answer to this.
I have changed the RMAN commands as
run {
     backup
          filesperset=15
          incremental level 0
          spfile format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\spfile_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'spfile_backup'
          database format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\data_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'full_data_backup';
          crosscheck backup;
          sql 'alter system archive log current';
          crosscheck archivelog all;
          backup filesperset 288 format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\cscdb_data_archive_%d_%u' archivelog all not backed up 2 times;
          delete noprompt archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
          delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
          delete noprompt obsolete;
I feel that I will be in a safer side.
Please provide comments. Anything that will increase knowledge base and will educate others too in this forum.
