Backup SunMC Using RMAN

Hi,
I know that SUN has a utility calls es-backup to backup the SunMC. However, since we could NOT affort to shutdown the SunMC for backup, can we use RMAN to backup SunMC Oracle database, SunMC Config files? This means that SunMC Processes are running during backup operation. Can I use this immage to restore? Thanks
Appreciate your help very much.

use es-backup with -o option; which does online backup. Make sure that oracle is running in archive mode. To configure this you must have run
/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-config -a
I hope this will help.
Cheers,
Zia-ul-Hassan

  • Oracle 9i TEMP tablespace backup problem using RMAN!

    Oracle8/8i whole backup is ok for our backup software(using RMAN without RC database), but for Oracle 9i, I get following error messages when backing up temp tablespace.
    1. RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
    2. RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TEMP"
    I check some views of Oracle9i, and know some changes happen for temp tablespace in 9i, but how to deal with this problem. Any idea, please!

    In 9i RMAN does not restore temporary datafiles. Instead, you should create them after your restore. I believe that Oracle is going to make a change to this in the next release of 9i and have RMAN create the temporary files. You can view the temporary datafiles @ v$tempfile.
    I believe RMAN doesn't restore temporary files because they are locally managed and not in the control files. RMAN reads the controlfile of the target database to obtain info about backups, datafiles, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Synchronous multimaster replication Backup strategy using RMAN

    Hi all,
    I am using synchronous multimaster replication. my question is backup strategy has to perofirm in all the master site or only in any of 1 mastersite? what all problems will encounter in RMAn backup in my scenario please help me out with your suggestion

    [email protected]

    You ask: "I want to configure backup strategy using RMAN. any one can help me that"
    And the answer is clearly no we can not.
    An RMAN backup strategy depends on your SLA (Service Level Agreement) with your customers that you didn't post. What is your down-time window? What is your skill set?
    You ask: "How to configure for RMAN Incremental backup?"
    Read the docs at http://tahiti.oracle.com for your version (which you didn't mention).
    You ask: "What will be backup space and there size ?"
    We have no idea. Are you going to create an image copy or a backup set? Read the docs and learn the difference. Are you going to turn on compression? Are you going to back up only changed blocks? We don't know.
    You ask: "how to manage growing online archiving files?"
    Again we can't help you without knowing your SLA. How many MG/GB are they? What period of time do you need to retain them to meet your SLA? When you figure this out back up to tape those you don't need to keep on the server.
    You ask: "how to manage growing data and there disk space?"
    This is one we can answer: BUY MORE DISK! That was easy.
    You ask: "How we can give good performance our CPU and memory?"
    Do you really expect that we can with zero knowledge of your environment, your version, your application, etc. distill into a few short paragraphs the collective wisdom of Cary Millsap, Jonathan Lewis, and the rest of the Oak Table Network membership?
    Of course we can not. So what you need to do is buy Cary's book, Jonathan's book, and take their classes.
    You ask: "we need keep all archive log in backup files or we need to remove old archive files?"
    Remove the old ones after being absolutely sure you have a good backup.
    You ask: "where we can take backup tape drive,SAN,disk removable hard disk? which one is better?"
    No one solution is better than the other. They are all adequate.

  • Cold backup downtime using RMAN

    Over the weekend I performed a cold RMAN backup on a 3.6 TB
    database. Because a lot of the database was backed up with
    transportable tablespaces, the net amount being backed up was
    approximately 365 Gb. I took down the database at 11:00 and the
    script finished at 4am, but in reviewing the logs, the database
    actually appears to have been opened at 2am.
    I assumed that the database would be down the entirety of the
    backup. Can anyone help me understand why the database was
    opened so long before the RMAN command completed? Was the
    backup adversely affected in any way by a user obtaining access
    prior to the RMAN process completing.
    Any information greatly appreciated.

    unfortunately i think you misunderstood the original question. i took the database down to do the cold backup. in order to use rman, you have to startup nomount the instance.
    the script run was:
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    rman msglog '/data2/oracle2/local/log/rman_lvl0.log' <<EOF
    @connect.rman
    run {
    backup incremental level 0 tag full_bkup0 database diskratio=0;
    alter database open;
    exit;
    EOF
    exit
    the "alter database open" tells RMAN to open the database once the backup is completed. i had a process running that checked each 10 seconds to see if the PID for the RMAN process was still running. The process itself appears to have run for an additional 2 hours after the database was opened.
    there is nothing on the system to suggest that the database was opened by anything other than RMAN. was the database opened prematurely? was the additional time spent in the RMAN script doing the sync in the database? did the usage by the user prior to RMAN completing invalidate the backup? (so far the cloning is still running without error).

  • Backup database using RMAN

    Hi,
    I wanted to perform the first backup with RMAN and I used this command and I got error:
    RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE;
    "can not backup or copy active file in noarchivelog mode".
    But in order to turn on the log_mode to ARCHIVELOG, first I need to do shutdown the db and perform the backup. Right?
    So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?
    I also performed this command successfully...
    RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
    new RMAN configuration parameter are successfully stored...
    but I'm not sure the controlfiles are being backed up. How can I verify this and where I can find the controlfile backup file?
    Thanks,

    So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?You can do RMAN backups with DB in NOARCHIVELOG mode, but the DB must be MOUNTED and not OPEN. You can do something like the following :

  • Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

    Hi,
    we have 11.5.10.2 instance
    Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
    Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
    as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
    we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
    so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
    Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
    which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
    we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

    Hi,
    This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
    If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
    if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.
    Please have a look at the following notes, it should be helpful.

  • Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog

    Hi all,
    Can someone tell me if this is correct:
    I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
    On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
    Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
    This is how I perform backup on machine A:
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
    SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
    BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
    SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
    BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
    On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
    SET DBID 1221334455;
    RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
    ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
    RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
    RESTORE DATABASE;
    Recover database;
    Thanks,

    You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
    OR
    You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.

  • How to backup database using RMAN on another server's tape?

    Dear All,
    Please give me an advise what parameters I should set up in RMAN to backup database on another server's tape.
    Best wishies,
    Givi

    I am connected to the database server from the server
    where I have tape, but Rman is searching tape on
    database server.I am not sure I understabd the above statement, but at the Operating System Level, you must ensure that from the Server you are running RMAN, it is configured to see the Tape Drive of the other Server. Once the Remote Tape is mounted with any name (say sbt) on the Local Server (however it is done with), then RMAN can configure the channels to use it.
    If you cannot get this access at the Operating System Level, then do not bother trying RMAN to access it.

  • Need help with Backup Recovery using Rman - Point in Time.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to recover my database to a certain point in time. Here are the details below.
    Oracle database version is. 11G R1. on 2 Node RAC. OS is AIX.
    Database name is Sales.
    Due to a mistake by the Application team, the database is written over by bad data. Now I have to restore the database in to a point in time, where the database was good.
    For this, i took a whole (full) RMAN backup, everything, all the archivelog files and Controlfiles as well.
    After doing this, i dropped the entire database. So now everything is clean.
    Now i have to restore and recover the database to this point in time.. 03/16/2011 12:45:00
    Please guide.
    The backups are located at.. /backup/sales/rman/
    I am trying various things, but each time i get the msg..
    ORA-01507: database not mounted
    I understand.. the reason for this message is the controlfile does not exist.. as the database is in mount mode. But as i said.. i have dropped the database in order to proceed with entire restoration.
    But i have taken a whole backup.. which also includes the controlfiles + archivefiles.
    Please guide.. with proper steps and commands.

    Hi,
    Priror to start with restore and recovery - Try to restore the control file from backups "/backup/sales/rman/"
    Then further you can mount the db and further carry on with recovery (catalog the backups prior to recovery)

    2- Add "DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF" to listener.ora, then reload the listener

  • How to restore a table using RMAN with previous backup ?

    Hi everyone,
    we have to restore a table from 1 week previous backup using RMAN.
    Could you show me how to restore a table using RMAN with previous full backup.
    please Help me out.
    Thanks
    Info > oracle 10g, OS: AIX5L

    Hi,
    first of all you must have all the archivelogs since you want to recover your table from the previous backups.
    anyways if you want to recover your table then you need to perform incomplete recovery to the point where you loss the table for that you need to restore and recover your database.you likely to loose all the transcation which occurs to the point where you you loose your table.
    thanks..

    Hi,
    You have followed the steps correctly while restoring and recovering the 9i database under 10g home using RMAN except the last step of opening the database.
    Remove 'alter database open resetlogs;' from the rman script and rerun the script. Once the database is restored and recovered, open the database with RESETLOGS & UPGRADE option through SQL*Plus as below.
    SQL> alter database open resetlogs upgrade;
    Once the database is opened, create the SYSAUX tablespace and run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ upgrd.sql catupgrd.sql script to upgrade the database to 10g ( follow the steps for upgrading the database).

  • To restore backup on different host using RMAN

    Hi All,
    Friend I need your help once again. I want to restore my database from the past backup to new HOST by keeping the original database intact using RMAN. Let me explain the scenario:-
    Databas Version - 8.1.7
    OS - Solaris 5.8
    We are using RMAN with Tivoli as third party media management. I just need to restore the database from this tape library using RMAN with recovery catalog on new server. The only doubt I have is how I will make the backups of the production database whose backup has to be restored available on the new host where I have to create new database.
    I will be using different file structure for the newly restored database. Do I have to create TDPO files seperately on the server on which I have to restore the database.
    Please reply asap.
    Regards
    Harpreet Singh

    You need to create a tdpo.opt file of source on the destination database. Then, allocate channel using this TDPO_OPTFILE and recover database.
