Backup oracle software.

Hi members, I have a question about system backups runnign Oracle and hope this is a right place and someone can answer.
How should we coordinate windows filesystem backups using backup exec 12.5. ex: backing up windows drives c: d: running oracle software and data files. I am planning to tell the sys admin to run the database shutdown script using back up exec before backing up and then running the startup script after backup is complete.. This sounds very practical to me unless you have any other suggestions... Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts.First, make sure you keep in mind that backing up the database and backing up the oracle software installation are two different things.
You shouldn't have to shut down the database to get a good backup of the oracle software - a backup of the ORACLE_HOME directory.
As for the database itself, what you describe will give you a cold backup of the database. But suppose you take that backup at 2:00 am and you lose the database at 5:00 pm, after a full day's worth of data updates? You really ... really ... REALLY need to make sure your db is running in archivelog mode and you are using rman to backup the database. Your system backup would then backup the backups. As a DBA, your first responsibility is to be able to recover the database with no more data loss than is acceptable to the organization. If you can't do that, you better have your resume up-to-date and with that in mind, I don't trust any SA to advise me about backing up oracle databases.

    DB Version:11g
    We have a relatively busy OLTP financial application installed on the same file system as oracle software (ORACLE_HOME). Is it a good idea to install applications on the same file system as ORACLE_HOME? Will Oracle recommend this?

    - you have a decent system administratoir who knows how to monitor disk I/O and that monitoring does not show I/O contention
    - you have decent (tested) backups and a good database backup strategy
    - you are happy with performance
    - your compliance auditors are satisfied
    then there should be no real issue.
    Will Oracle recommend this?Oracle will probably not get involved other than to discuss High Availability scenarios and point you to things like the Maximum Availability Architecture white papers at http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/maa.htm .
    Now if you contracted their consulting/services group, they would likely do an evaluation of your specific needs and likely recommend separating things as a result of that evaluation.

  • Oracle software corrupt

    Dear all,
    i have installed 10g database but system crash oracle sofTWARE NOT WORKING. SO I INSTALLED NEW ORACLE 10G SOFTWARE I HAVE DATA FILE, REDOLOG FILE,CONTROL FILE,UNDO ALL DATA FILE HOW TO RECOVER MY OLD DATABASE

    If you dont have the backup its not possible to restore or recovery the database...the files will be invalid which you have...
    It seems you are into just practise..So you can do one thing ...Please try to create a controlfile script with the paths of datafiles and redolog files that are at the old location...just test it ...I think it will work..

  • Unable to deinstall oracle software

    I installed 9.2.0.1 and cloned a database using cold backup of same version database.Then i applied 9.2.0.8 patch on top of
    9.2.0.1 by following release notes for the patch.
    When i started database it started throwing errors drop_segment doesn't exist.
    Thus i dropped the database using DBCA and then tried to uninstall the oracle software.I tried doing this
    using universal installer of 9.2.0.1 but it says that higher version universal
    installer installed some components so asks to use higher version for
    uninstall.
    When i used the universal installer given with patch set it doesn't gives the current oracle home to be uninstalled.
    I want to deinstall the oracle software and then install it again.What should i do ?

    Since release 9.2.0.7.0 the 10g OUI is used to install/deinstall oracle products, so when you attempt to uninstall using the OUI from 9.2.0.1.0 an error message will appear telling you that a later OUI is required. You can deinstall using the same OUI used when you installed the 9.2.0.8.0 patchset.
    Previous to deinstall make sure you don't have database services (if you want to get rid of database as well).
    Once deinstalled you can get rid of all oracle related entries at the regedit. Just watch out, you will be dealing with regedit and you don't want to leave your windows useless.
    You can delete the oracle directory left at the program files\oracle, this contain the oracle inventory and the OUI programs.

  • Error in installing Oracle Software while adding node in RAC

    Hi All
    Oracle Version: 11.1.0.6.0
    Linux
    In the RAC environment, I am in the process of adding a node to the existing rac environment.
    I have succssfully installed cluster software in the new node. all gsd, ons and vip services are running perfectly for new node in the existing and new nodes.
    Next step, I started installing oracle software by executing the script $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/addNode.sh.
    Here after specifying the the new node information (public host, private host and vip details) and when I pressed next,
    OUI is giving following error - "Error occured while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured".
    I ran olsnodes -n, it is giving proper node number.
    Can somebody help me in identifying the problem and solution.
    Thanks

    I am hitting the same issue, my problem was when I added the new node initially it fails because of the hint8-priv1. I followed the link below to remove and cleanup the last install. olsnode show only my existing nodes NOT including the new node.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/rac.101/b10765/adddel.htm
    then I ran
    ./addNode.sh -silent CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={hint-8} CLUSTER_NEW_PRIVATE_NODE_NAMES={hint8-priv1} CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={hint8-vip}
    I am getting this when use command line:
    Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    SEVERE:Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    also run addNode.sh via GUI, the new node name still listed and can't continue.
    BTW, adding new node should support online, shutdown is not required

  • Using Oracle Software Illegally

    Before i start, i just want all of you guys to know i have no intention of using Oracle Software illegaly.
    Anyone can download Oracle 10g Software from Oracle's website. Right?
    Lets say we have a Company and we need Oracle Database software to run our business. What if our company chooses not to pay a single penny to Oracle corporation and use the oracle software which we've downloaded by hiring an expert DBA. Will Oracle Corporation, ever be able to know that we are using Oracle Database software without paying the licence unless we seek technical Support from Oracle.
    Will the freely downloaded Oracle Software work for multi-CPU machines?

    In general, yes, once you get past the "prototype" phase, you need to license all your environments. What, exactly, defines the end of a "prototype" phase is obviously a bit sticky, but if you have a "production" environment, that almost always means that the development environment needs to be licensed.
    Of course, any licensing questions should really be directed to Oracle Sales, who are the only ones that can provide a binding agreement. There may be wrinkles here based on the laws in your country, your existing licensing agreements, your relationship with Oracle, your particular business model, etc. Should you get caught in a disagreement about licensing, explaining that "some guy on the internet" (whether or not he has a playing card next to his name) told you that something was acceptable is not likely to go over well.

  • Which account use to install Oracle software?

    Hi!
    Windows 2003 Server SP2
    Oracle 10gR2
    I have a question to experience Oracle database administrators...
    Is there any differences between installing RDBMS from "Administrator" account and installing RDBMS from separate account with administrators privilege?
    I'm not asking about procedures of installation.
    I suspect that creator in file system will be different.
    There will be any other differences? In registry hive? In files of installed software?
    If Oracle software will be installed from "Administrator" account and after that I will create "other" account with administrator privilage and member of "ora_dba" group and use this "other" account to managed installed software I will have any problems?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello,
    No, I've always installed Oracle with an "Administrator account" and, I don't remember
    having a specific problem.
    Anyway, if there's a problem which can prevent the installation, OUI will send you a
    popup (for instance to stop a Service).
    More over, you can check the installation "logs" also.
    Best regards,

  • Oracle Software not installed

    Hi!
    I tried to install SAP NetWeaver 7.1 with Oracle 10 under Windows Server 2003 64bit in english fully updated. But I ran into two problems which prevented the SAP installation to finish : first once all the oracles updates were installed, the oracle wintows service would not start; second sapinst never managed to find the oracle installation and always answered "Oracle Software not installed".
    For this installation I downloaded all the installation files from the SAP download center like this :
         - On http://service.sap.com/swdc in the left frame : download/installation and upgrades/entry by application group
         - then in the center frame : SAP NetWeaver/SAP NetWeaver/SAP NETWEAVER CE 7.1/Installation/Windows Server/Oracle/
         - I added everything to the Download basket but "Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 Patch for AIX 64bit" and "Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 Patch for Solaris 64bit"
    - then I took the last patch for Oracle 10 on the SAP download center :
         - on http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain in the left frame : Oracle/Oracle 64-bit/Oracle 10.2.0 64bit/Oracle 10.2.0.2/NT_x86_64
         - I added the last patch to the download basket
    Then I followed this installation steps :
    installation of the last jdk : jdk-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe
    installation of Oracle 10.2.0.1 with : Oracle10.2.0.1-51031678\NT\I386\sapserver.cmd
    installation of the last update for oracle 10.2.0.2 with : DVD_ORACLE_10.2.0.2_Patches_WIN_AIX_SOL\NT\I386\setup.exe
         => I had a problem with the installation of the patch chich detected the wrong version of windows so I forced it with : OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID=233 (I checked it before, it should really be the right one)
    installation of the last patch of oracle :
         - definition of ORACLE_HOME and addition of opatch to the PATH
         - execution of "opatch apply" in the folder Oracle-10202_Patch16_MSWINX86-64-6397030\
    ===> *PB* : the installation of this patch enables the oracle windows service which won't run and doesn't send any errors (just timeout). I didn't find any help on this one. When I tried to start sqlplus in console, I got errors about DLLs not found but they exists in the bin directory of oracle and are in the PATH...
    installation of NetWeaver 7.1 with SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 SP3 for Oracle - 51032969\DATA_UNITS\CE71_03_IM_WIN_X86_64_ORA\sapinst.exe
           - normal installation + JavaEE + CompEnv
              - Media Browser - RDBMS Client Oracle : Oracle 10.2 Client - 51033272\OCL_WINDOWS_I386\LABEL.ASC
    ===> *PB* : at this point of the sap installation, I got an error "Oracle Software not installed" without any details. I didn't find any help on that either. It seems to come from a registry key missing...
    After that, I uninstalled (with removal of the right keys in the registry to have something clean (<a href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/deinstall.htm">url</a>)) Oracle many times and tried different installation steps : without the patches, with the patches but without the update (doesn't work), with the patch 15, with the patch 16. In each cases Oracle service wasn't working if a patch was installed. And in each cases the sap installation never detected an Oracle installation. This installation steps are very reproductibles and are problemful.
    Could anybody have some pointers or help on that one ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Florian

    Hello Friends,
    I tried the AMD64 based Installation Source to install Oracle 10g. and It works.
    I also applied sufficient patches (AMD64/x86_64 based) to Oracle, as required. It worked fine, without giving that "Platform not compatible" error, as it was giving me before.
    Now,I have got that , my machine was expecting x86_64 based Installation of Oracle .
    I was little bit confused between x86, x64, x84_64, I386,etc..etc..terms...
    Thanks to Markus and other friends.
    The problem was due to mix installation of 32bit +  64bit Oracle Software & Patches. Previously, i installed  i386 based Oracle, which is 32 bit version. Then i tried AMD64 based Installation source of Oracle RDBMS. It workes.
    Previously, I was applying x86_64 based Oracle patches 16 & 17 on 32-bit Oracle version, thats why definitely it was giving error of "Platform not compatible", because it was expecting 64Bit Oracle version to implement that patch.
    But, now, i successfully applied these two required Oracle 10.0.2.0 patches(16 & 17),on this 64Bit Oracle. (AMD64 based Installation source).
    Then, I had run SAPInst of Installation Master (Win_x86_64) and started the Installation again. I also gave Oracle RDBMS Client Source location (x86_64 based). Then, also provided other required parameters. Now, the SAPInst worked fine, without that "Oracle Software not Installed" error.
    And, Ultimately I successfully installed the SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 on 64Bit Oracle 10g Database Software. Right now, the Server is working fine, without Errors.
    Thanks Again.....

  • Determing if the installed Oracle software is 32 bit or 64bit

    DB version:10GR2
    Is there a way to determine if the Oracle software installed is of 32-bit or 64-bit? I found
    this
    select
       length(addr)*4 || '-bits' word_length
    from
       v$process
    where
       ROWNUM =1;from: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_32_bit_64_bit_check.htm
    But is this correct?

    You can see it just entering Sql*Plus :

  • What is the meaning of different fields of Oracle Software e.g 11.1.0.2.0

    What is the meaning of different fields of Oracle Software e.g 11.1.0.2.0
    Please share.

    The first digit is the most general identifier. It represents a major new version of the software that contains significant new functionality.
    Database Maintenance Release Number
    The second digit represents a maintenance release level. Some new features may also be included.
    Application Server Release Number
    The third digit reflects the release level of the Oracle Application Server (OracleAS).
    Component-Specific Release Number
    The fourth digit identifies a release level specific to a component. Different components can have different numbers in this position depending upon, for example, component patch sets or interim releases.
    Platform-Specific Release Number
    The fifth digit identifies a platform-specific release. Usually this is a patch set. When different platforms require the equivalent patch set, this digit will be the same across the affected platforms.Check

  • Two SAP system in one host and one oracle software

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We want to install Two SAP system (PR1 & PP1) in one host(Prdb05) and one database (Oracle). I dont want to do MCOD.
    I am very confuse about what changes i need to make before start the install of PP1. Actually i do not required to install oracle software again. am i correct ?
    also i do not required to install oracle client again.am i correct ?
    Will it take software automatically ?
    In SAP note 350251 they asked me to run ./runinstaller !!! but when we
    are not installing software again why we need to to execute that.
    Will you please guide us for the same.

    Hi , This is what you have to do .
    Couple of questions before i answer anything
    1) Is your first SAP system installed ?
    2) is this High Available system
    What Oliver suggested is a valid option on Windows , but not on Unix .
    In Unix you might face problems for user,groups because the user for ORACLE_HOME should ideally be ora<SID>, and if you have 2 SID and one ORACLE_HOME , which user will you give ?
    So , it is better that you have 2 seperate oracle software installed , 2 seperate ORACLE_HOME , 2 seperate filesystems for oracle software .
    Hope you understood , what i am trying to say .
    Thanks

  • Intel Xeon Windows 64 Bit : Which Oracle software Version?

    Hi!
    we have Windows Enterprise Server SP2 <b>64 bit</b> with <b>Intel Xeon</b> processor and would like to install the SOLMAN with Oracle.
    According to the original Oracle-DVD from SAP there are only three possible choise entries:
    a) AMD64
    b) IA64
    c) I386
    But I have the feeeling it should be one choice like "x86" is not?
    Which one should we apply?
    The I386 can be installed indeed, but we are getting the error during the SAPINST-Installation "Oracle software not installed". I thought this entry was only for 32 bit?
    The IA63 Bit can not be installed.
    <b>Only the AMD64 we could install. But the question is, whether AMD is the same to Intel Xeon?</b>
    Thank you very much for any useful help/comments...
    regards

    Hi,
    You have still a "32-bit" platform ONLY.
    1. Intel 64 is not AMD64, they are different. AMD64 implementation is only meant for AMD processors although the family is 64T support, full implementation is NOT done.
    2. Your assumption of x86 is correct. You MUST go for I386 option ONLY !!!
    3. Error of "Oracle software not installed" is different and you should not relate it to hardware. It is only for the environment variables and registry.. This will happen even in normal case..
    Once again, you should NOT use AMD64 and IA64.. Try only with I386 option..
    BTW, firstly, whats the reason for you to choose a 64-bit o/s that are meant for 64 - bit Itanium systems... CHoose a operating system that fits and will work with SAP optimally!
    You should only choose a 32 Bit Enterprise edition of operating system. Windows Server 2003 R2 well works in your case and should be your choice !!
    Finally your combination should be -
           1. Windows 32 Bit Enterprise Edition R2 ---> O/s
           2. i386   DVD                                      -
    > SAP/ Oracle DB
    Hope this helps, revert for queries
    Cheers,
