Backupexec symantec rman backup

Hi
We have Oracle 10gR2 database on Linux with Oracle remote agent installed/configured. Database size is about 100GB. Backup exec 10 on another win2k3 backupserver with Oracle agent installed./configured.
Can we take manual rman backup with this tape drive on another linux server.

Hello,
Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer) The ORA-04030 error message is interesting. It means that the OS doesn't have enough memory for Oracle.
So you may monitore the Memory usage of the Server during the Symantec Backup, and check for any activity. May be the Symantec Backup runs when other Batch Jobs use already a lot of memory . You may also have to extend the RAM of the Server.
Also, check for the RMAN script used by Symantec and compare with the "manual" script. May be, some options are used with Symantec and consume more resources on the Server.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

i am facing same problem so many times.
Now how to reschedule the existing backup job so that it starts work again.

Configure backup agent to take the RMAN backup

Hi,
We have a Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library with us. we want to take the backup to tape using Rman.
In order to take the RMAN backup, we need a backup agent needs to be installed on the database server.
1. My doubt is If we have Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library, what backup agent needs to be installed on the server?
2. If we know agent name, Could you please share the document to install the agent?
Thanks for your help.
R.Sundaravel

These softwares support the SL48 and they have an agent for RMAN : Symantec NetBackup, Legato Networker.
For Symantec, please check this URL : http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO44847#v15496705

RMAN Backup to tape using Oracle Secure Backup

I am trying to take 11g R2 (11.2.0.3) database backup using RMAN. I am using Oracle Secure Backup for configuring virtual tape library and virtual tape drive.
Whenever, I am running the RMAN backup script it simply hangs. While checking the backup job status from Oracle Secure Backup web interface, the job status are displaying 'pending resource availability'.
On, furthur investigating the job, the following error message are displayed,
" Dispatching job to run on oradb. Drive or volume on which mount attempted is unusable".
Library and Tape Creation:

There is a VTL: http://mhvtl-linux-virtual-tape-library-community-forums.966029.n3.nabble.com/
really work well with OSB 10.3.0.3 64bit, the version of it, fully tested by me , is 1.2
The installation guide of it here:
mh virtual tape & library system.
Instructions assume reader is familiar with the kernel build process.
There are two sections of code to build.
- The kernel module
- The user-space daemons.
Kernel module mhvtl:
==================
1) Make sure the kernel-devel package to match your running kernel is installed.
e.g.
RedHat AS 4 & 5:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80
SLES 9 & 10:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
2) Extract the mhvtl source code.
# tar xvfz mhvtl-2012-04-04.tgz
3) Change directory into the kernel driver source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2/kernel/
# make
# make install
User space daemons:
===================
Pre-req for a running mhvtl
- sg3_utils (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html)
Pre-req to build/compile userspace:
- zlib-devel
* To build an RPM
===============
cp mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCE/
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE
rpmbuild -tb mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz
<wait for rpm build to complete>
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<cpu type>/mhvtl-1.2-z.<cpu type>.rpm
(The rpm install will create system group & accounts vtl)
- Note: For RedHat, replace 'packages' with 'redhat'
* To build from tar archive (Debian / Ubuntu):
============================================
apt-get install lsscsi
apt-get install sg3_utils
To limit damage that may occur by wayward daemons, I highly recommend creating
a group and user called 'vtl'
# /usr/sbin/groupadd --system vtl
# /usr/sbin/useradd --system -c "Vitrual Tape Library" -d /opt/vtl -g vtl -m vtl
Now build user space daemons:
From the parent directory where you extracted the source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2
Build the binaries
# make
Install the rc script into /etc/init.d/ and binaries to /usr/local/bin/
# make install
Start daemons:
/etc/init.d/mhvtl start
Test:
Note: Make sure the 'mtx' & 'lsscsi' utilities are installed
The virtual devices are attached to HBA #5 in this example.
e.g.
# lsscsi -g

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at .......

Hi,
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"make sure you have created this directory and change it's ownership (chown command)to oracle.
also make sure that oracle user has permission to write to this direcotry (chmod command)
hope this helps

Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%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 ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

Create a new Database in an other server using a copie of RMAN backup

Hi all,
I want to create an other instance for our production database. We have disk and tape in rman backup. My question is can i create a new database using our disk backup in an other server?
If some procedure or steps is there, email it to my adresse [email protected]
Hamid.
Thanks

By means of the use of Recovery Manager it is possible to duplicate a database out from a previously taken rman backup. The method will be outlined in the next few lines.
Let's assume a source database named SRCDB and the target database, named GEMINI. A unix like environment is assumed, but it can be implemented on windows as well, just beware of the particular Oracle implementation on a windows platform (orapwd file name, service creation, path format)
1. Create a password file for the Cloned (GEMINI) instance:
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/dbs/orapwGEMINI password=password entries=10
2. Configure tnsnames.ora and listner.ora
Properly identify the database at the tnsnames.ora and have the instance manually registered against the listener.ora files, both files located at the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
2.a Manually register the database against the listener (listener.ora)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0)
(SID_NAME = GEMINI)
2.b Added the target GEMINI to the tnsnames.ora
GEMINI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(ORACLE_SID = GEMINI)
2.c Reload the listener
lsnrctl reload
3. Create a new init.ora for the cloned database.
Next create an init.ora file for the cloned database. In case the same paths cannot be used on the target host, either because it is the same source host or because those paths are not reproducible on the target, then DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT may be required to be defined
DB_NAME=GEMINI
CONTROL_FILES=(/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control01.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control02.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control03.ctl)
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure.
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u02/oradata/SRCDB/,/u02/oradata/GEMINI/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/oradata/SRCDB/,/u01/oradata/GEMINI/)
# block_size and compatible parameters must match those of the source database
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.0.0
4. Connect to the cloned instance
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
5. Create an SPFILE based on the init.ora
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/GEMINI/pfile/init.ora';
6. Start the database in NOMOUNT mode:
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
7. Connect to the TARGET, CATALOG and AUXILIARY databases.
By means of the rman three connections are open, one for the Source Database (SOURCEDB), another for the Catalog database (RCAT), and one more for the cloned database (GEMINI)
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
rman TARGET sys/password@SRCDB CATALOG rman/rman@RCAT AUXILIARY /
8. Complete or Incomplete clone (recover)
From the rman the database using one of the following commands:
8.a Clone the database by means of a complete recover.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI;
8.b Clone the database up to a defined point in time in the past by means of an incomplete recover
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-2';
9. Process finished.
Once the process is finished, the newly created GEMINI database is ready to be used as an independent new cloned database.

I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.

Friends,
I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.
The issue is related with a lock while trying to backup the controlfile.
The lock is more likely caused by the autobackup controlfile process started just before RMAN process was also trying the backup controlfile as shown in the following alert.log excerpt.

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files

how can i prevent rman setting db_name=orcl which is already exists in the db.. i need to create db from rman backups with different dbname...
whould someone help me out, how can i create database from another database rman backups with different dbname/sid on same host..
My pfile has new db_name , but while db creation rman setting to db_name to source dbname.. it should be new db name that i want create with new db name...
is there any RMAN command to specify new DB name it should set while running
sql statement: alter system set db_name = newdbname -- as part rman script execution...
it appears to be i should not touch the soruce db.. i have access to only source db rman backups and need to create another db with different dbname/sid.. please do help...

When you performing RMAN duplicate why you making your script so complicated?
Your instance name and DB name can be different, But what is the contents in your pfile "D:\TESTDELETE\initclonedb1.ora" ? please do post
Have you started any other services related to ORACLE? check in start --> run --> services.msc any other active oracles services, Make sure you have clonedb1.
Startup in nomount
check the connectivity to target server.
SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO 'F:\app\HOME\oradata\clonedb1\TEMP01.DBF';Why you mentioning SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ? You have option of db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in case if your file system different in Target & auxiliary.
BACKUP LOCATION 'F:\app\HOME\flash_recovery_area\orcl\'When you have backup in same location why you are mentioning this clause?
First run duplicate from auxiliary server as
rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database to "db_name";
Am not sure what you are trying to do. is it 11gR1 or 11gR2?
You have option of duplicate from active database without having backup also..
here some links please check it.

Hi,
Since the error ORA-19809 indicates the lack of space in flash recovery area during the media recovery, I suggested increasing the value of the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.
Yes, during the media recovery the RMAN will restore the archived log to the default destination (only if the required archived logs are not already on the disks).You can confirm the restore location of the archived log in RMAN restore log/destination specified by parameters log_archive_dest_1/db_recovery_file_dest.

I am not able to restore spfile from rman backup ;;;

Hi,
I would like to know few things
1. How are you setting the db_name ? you can set db_id at RMAN, how are you setting the db_name ?
2. Do you have any default init file at default location ? if yes, is the db_name parameter set correctly in that file ?
Since spfile is yet to be restored, you must set the db_name parameter correctly before you start spfile restore.This can be done with init file at default location which can even contain just one paremeter i.e db_name.

How to find out when last rman backup was made in 9i

Hello,
i have an oracle 9i database running on windows here. Is there a way to find out when the last rman backup was done with a sql query?
I would like to create a job inside the database that regulary checks if a rman backup ran sucessfully instead of using scripts in the operating system.
But i only know about commands in the rman utility (that i can not execute as a job, right?) - is something similar possible with for example sqlplus?

Hello,
this gives some results, but none of the views begins with RC:

Creating a standbay database from an rman backup

hi,
I have a situation that a standby database has a large gap in archive log files, the primary server does not now have those files. I understand that you can create a standby from an rman backup of the primary but all reading I have done shows thatn you have to have a recovery catalog to carry this out. The system I am on does not have such a catalog so is there any other way to do this?
regards
Alan

Requirement 'You must have a recovery catalog in a standby requirement' is a little bit misleading. In fact you can do what you want : creating a standby from RMAN backups without having a recovery catalog. 'Duplicate target database for standby' does not require a connection to a recovery catalog.
You need mandatorily a recovery catalog, when you plan to take backups from the standby later on in order to free the primary from this task. The reason for that is it's not possible to transfer backup records from the standby controlfiles to the primary ones directly. After a backup on the standby you resync the catalog with the standby controlfile. Then you connect to the catalog and the primary,resync again and have actual backup informations in the primary controlfiles. When there's a media recovery problem, you easily can restore/recover the primary.
