Backup DB with RMAN - Restore on a new Server with RMAN - HOWTO ?

Hello,
i would like to ask if there is something like a tutorial that explains the following:
1. Backup DB with rman
2. Move all the Backup files to a new Computer
3. Create a new instance on this computer and restore the DB
I'm especially not sure about creating the new instance...what do you have to take care of ? Do have any chance to restore the DB if you don't know the instance name of the original DB ? Will it work if the new computer has a different hostname ?

Hello,
i tried to follow the steps but do you know if there is a description like this for the situation when you don't use a recovery catalog ? The description you've pointed me to assumes the usage of a recovery catalog, however in my (test-) situation here i'm using no backup catalog
kind regards

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Restore database to new server

Hi,
today I wanted to test a restore to a new server.
DB=10.2.0.4
rman catalog is used
backup on TSM Tape
First I configured the new server to use the same TSM backup node as the original server.
tdpoconf showenv is ok.
Then I checked Meatlink 419137.1 and copied the pfile to the new server and changed the xxx_dest parameter.
Now I want to restore the controlfile.
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel ch1 device type sbt;
3> restore controlfile;
4> }
released channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
released channel: ORA_DISK_1

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
a server with a new name.
Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
Any ideas?

Hi,
>>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
>>What is the order of the process?
The following blog could help you to prestage content.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

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.

Restore backups on new server with RMAN (nocatalog).

Hi,
On my production database (Oracle8i/Solaris8) I use RMAN(nocatalog) to backup database:
connect target
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup full tag = 'Full Backup'
format '/oracle_backups/db_%t_%s_p%p'
(database);
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup
full
etc.}
I need to test backup by restoring it on test server (Oracle8i/Linux7.3). How I can point RMAN on test server to backup files location?
Thanks.

9i Database - Restore to a new host, validating RMAN backup

Hi all,
I could use your help, for any of you who remember how to do this in 9i. On one of my production databases, running 9.2.0.6.0, I have a nightly RMAN script that writes the backup to a large shared drive (this is on a Windows 2003 server). This backup uses a recovery catalog.
I have a test server, and I want to try and restore last night's backup on this test server, without touching the recovery catalog - purely as a means to go through the recovery process, and to validate our backups (this is also for SOX compliance, as this database is for the financial system).
I have been looking through the 9i documentation, and was hoping to have some detailed steps here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007514
but I don't see a lot of information there.
I believe that this should be a rather simple process. On the test server, I have installed the 9.2.0.6 software, and created the Oracle Service using the same name as production. The test server can also see the shared drive that houses the backup files from the production system.
Here are the steps I am trying, please let me know what I need to change. Thanks all!!

RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

Many thanks for the helpful replies so far, Hemant!! I had to shelve this issue for a few days, back at it today.
I have made some progress, I am able to restore the control file now - what I am doing, is copying the autobackup controlfile from the network drive over onto the server locally (E:\oracle\ora92\database\BACKUPCONTROL.ORA), then I am able to restore the controlfile with this:
restore controlfile from 'E:\oracle\ora92\database\BACKUPCONTROL.ORA';
And I can see that it restores all 3 of my controlfiles.
The next step would be to do the database restore. When I issue the "restore database;" command, I can see that it lists out all of the datafiles that it needs to restore from the backup set, but then after about a minute, I see these error messages pop up:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

ORA-27091: skgfqio: unable to queue I/O
ORA-27067: skgfdisp: size of buffer is invalid
OSD-04026: Invalid parameter passed.
When I looked up those last 2 error codes on Metalink, I see document ID 213858.1 that looks like this normally happens when the backup piece that has Read-Only permissions. I have confirmed that the backup files on the network drive are not Read-Only, I have full Read/Write privileges on them. So once again, I am stumped.
Any thoughts? I might go ahead and log an SR for this, to try and get it resolved.
Thanks!

RMAN Restore on a new system

Hi,
We are planning to impletment RMAN backups on our production systems. We took a RMAN backup and wanted to restore into another server using different sid and db name, without disturbing the running production database. We came across some errors and we need some help.
Oracle Version - 9.2.0.7
OS - Windows 2003
Envirnoment
=========
Host A - DB1
Host B - DB2 (Directory sturcture is different)
Host C - Catalog
Step 1. I took a full backup of DB1 on Host A connected to the catalog.
Step 2. Copied the pfile and backup files from Host A to Host B.
Step 3. Changed db_name, instance_name in Host B pfile.
Step 4. Created oracle instance using oradim utility.
Step 5. Started rman utiliy - rman target /
Step 6. Resorted Controlfile
Step 7. Mount database <---- Here we get an error
Let me know if the above steps are wrong.

If the database is on a separate server, then you shouldn't need to worry about the db_name being the same. But if you are determined to have a new database name, you could restore the database with the same database name and then change it with the nid utility.

Can rman backups be used to restore to a different server

We are using R12 with 10gr2 database
If i take Rman backups, can they be used to restore on some other test server for cloning and bringing that test server upto date like the production.
I am confues and dont know and This is the only reason i dont use rman for backups, instead take cold backups manually every night as they are used every week to clone some other server for testing purpose
Please advice
Thanks

Hi..
1. Copy the pfile to the new server.
2. startup nomount the database using the pfile.
3. Open a new RMAN session and connect to this database
4. Restore the controlfile, this will bring the database in mount stage
5. Once step 4 is completed, restore and recover the database.
NOTE:-- These are the steps for restoring the database when the RMAN backup pieces are copied to the same location as they are on the main server.If you copy the rman backup to some different location, then you will have to use the CATALOG BACKUPPIECE 'location' command before restoring the database.

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).
