Block media recovery
All,
I'm in the process of self-learning all kind of data recovery strategy on my desktop.
How to simulate the error of datafile block corruption ? To test the block media recovery through rman.
Please advice.
Thanks
Though in Windows, an open db doesnot allow a file to be openedYou should try with the most powerfull Win* tool: notepad...
You'll be surprised.
Regards,
Yoann.

Block Media Recovery and RMAN Incremental Level 1 backup
Hi
I have read somewhere that Block Media Recovery will not work if a database is backed up using rman incremental 1. Is this true, and if so is there a work around?
I cannot seem to find this in oralce's documentation.
Regards
MeHi,
1) is Full Backup = Incremental level 0 backup?
Yes
2) When oralce say BMR does not work with incremental, will it work in the case I put forward. becuase Im doing an incremental 0...
But does you have the Archive logs available.. ?? If yes then it will Support.
3) Im my case will BMR work...that is use Incr level 0 on Sunday and then use archive logs for mon, tues etc
Yes, I believe.
@Hemanth .. am I right.. ?? Wait for your inputs...

Hello
Why is media recovery is faster than, normal DML,DDL,etc?
In production database, It took 1 hour to rebuild indexes and move some objects to diffrent tablespace.
However, When I apply the archivelog of these changes to standby, it took about 20 minutes.
What is reason for this?
CheersMedia Recovery / Physical Standby operations are faster because they actually only write the final results.
For example, in the index rebuild case, the operations doing the SQL are
a. read table, get column values from table
b. sort values
c. if allocated pga/sort_area is insufficient, overflow to disk
d. run final sort pass, if necessary
e. write sorted results to the index segment
(recursive SQLs to allocate extents, update the data dictionary for the index definition also have to be applied, each of these also having to read the existing extent maps and data dictionary before updating them).
However, when you run media recovery
1. Oracle does not have to read the table
2. There is no sort operation
3. Writes to temp are avoided (as Temp operations are nologging and there is nothing in the redo to "replay" against the tempfiles)
4. The index blocks are "updated" directly -
Block corruption recovery!!
Hi. all.
I am testing a recovery in the event of block corruption.
As far as I know, the solution to block corruption is as followings:
1. BlockRecover command (RMAN)
2. drop the table and import from backup dump file
3. DBMS_REPAIR package
4. complete recovery from online full backup
My question is whether No. 4 is possible or not.
step 1 : bring the datafile offline
step 2 : restore the datafile from the last backup(online backup)
step 3: recover the datafile, applying archive logs and online redo logs
step 4 : bring the datafile online
The above steps are enough for block corruption recovery?
I need to make a document about block corruption issue, but
I have no experience of recovering block corruption.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.If few blocks are corrupted, it is advisable to run the BMR (block media recover, staring with 9i). This option provides the availability of other data present in datafile.
Option 4 is okay when most of the data block in a datafile got corrupted.
To know how many blocks got corrupted in the datafile, run the following:
SELECT * FROM V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION;
SELECT * FROM V$COPY_CORRUPTION;
SELECT * FROM V$BACKUP_CORRUPTION;
You need to look into corrution_type and blocks columns in the v$database_block_corruption view as it gives the reason for block corruption and number of blocks are corrupted in a datafile.

could you help on this...?
waiting for your favorable reply,
thanks in advance..
RegardsHi;
This error occurs when you have run a switchover/ failover, you may have two parallel standby's but when you pass the command for switchover the one standby is not aware of what you have done.
The point is that all standby should know who is your primary & standby's should also be aware of each other in their "pfiles" now, you should either recreate the standby or open with reset logs.
ora-600 occurs due to different incarnation.
Hope this will help you
if you switch multiple logfiles in primary, & run >>
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
your standby will start syncing.
Hope this will help you -
RMAN Restore Error - media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 seq 7
Im using RMAN to copy a database to another server. The new server is IDENTICAL to the old one. By identical I mean it has the same sever name, ip address, operating system, Oracle version and directory structure.
The new server already has the instance created, (same name as the old server instance, paths etc)
The backup files have been manually restored to the new server, same locations as they were on the old one. ( RMAN did an automatic controlfile backup and also the archivelogs on the old server ).
Ive restored the control file on the new server from the RMAN backup pieces.
Ive catalogued the RMAN backup pieces on the new server.
I know the last sequence available in the archivelogs backup by running on the new server :

So far its all going swimmingly well.
Now I want to restore the datafiles and recover. So I ran :
RMAN run { restore database; recover database; alter database open resetlogs; }
This gave me the output below which goes great but I get a final error, I think the error is because its looking for an archive log thats not in the backup set, but it should be. However, I think SCN 560851 is for a log that hadnt been created yet on the old server when the backup was ran ?
How do I address resolving the error ? Its worth pointing out log, "archive log filename=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\SAT\ARCHIVELOG
\2011_05_11\O1_MF_1_6_6WOK1X4W_.ARC recid=10 stamp=750881741" isnt on the old server either which is why its not in the backup set.
I can do a alter database open reset logs but Id prefer to know why its failing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Edited by: user12173666 on 11-May-2011 10:28You need to do incomplete recovery i.e. to ask RMAN to restore/recover to some specific point in time. This is usually done with some UNTIL clause or SET UNTIL statement. Example in your case:
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 7;See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta065.htm#RCMRF160. -
Hi
i take cold backup of my 9i database ....
in case my database is up .....
how will i recover my database if i lose a single database file and i want to recover it from cold backup......
Thanks in advance
GaganHere you go
These are the steps:
1. Restore the lost file from a backup.
2. If the database is down, mount it.
SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=<location_of_pfile>;
3. Issue the following query:
SVRMGR> SELECT V1.GROUP#, MEMBER, SEQUENCE#,
FIRST_CHANGE#
FROM V$LOG V1, V$LOGFILE V2
WHERE V1.GROUP# = V2.GROUP# ;
This will list all your online redolog files and their respective
sequence and first change numbers.
4. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, issue the query:
SVRMGR> SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE;
If the CHANGE# is GREATER than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs,
the datafile can be recovered. Just keep in mind that all the logs to
applied will be online logs, and move on to step 5.
If the CHANGE# is LESS than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs, the
file cannot be recovered. Your options at this point would be to restore
the most recent full backup (and thus lose all changes to the database
since) or recreate the tablespace as explained in scenario a.
5. Recover the datafile:
SVRMGR> RECOVER DATAFILE '<full_path_file_name>'
6. Confirm each of the logs that you are prompted for until you receive the
message "Media recovery complete". If you are prompted for a non-existing
archived log, Oracle probably needs one or more of the online logs to
proceed with the recovery. Compare the sequence number referenced in the
ORA-280 message with the sequence numbers of your online logs. Then enter
the full path name of one of the members of the redo group whose sequence
number matches the one you are being asked for. Keep entering online logs
as requested until you receive the message "Media recovery complete"
7. If the database is at mount point, open it. -
Media Recovery Waiting for thread 1 sequence (in transit)
I have rebuilt our standby database using an rman duplicate since it was missing many archive logs.
Following the duplicate, the standby is now almost in sync with the primary. Logs are shipping across but are not being applied in a timely manner. How long should it take for an archive log from the primary to be applied to the standby?
I need to know this so that a proper script can be set up to check the primary and standby. At the moment they are never exactly in sync - always one sequence number behind the primary.
Why is the standby is not applying in a timely manner?

I should add that I understand that for the Primary and Standby to be out by one log is not cause for concern (they are applying). Its just that I wanted to script a check that would compare them both, and and the moment they are never equal - when I understand that they should be and that the logs should be applied almost immediately.
Edited by: Dan A on Nov 1, 2010 4:36 PMHow long should it take for an archive log from the primary to be applied to the standby?depends on network speed also.
make sure the archives are shipped to standby location.

Hi check is MRP started or not?
primary database you need not check current sequence, check last generated sequence..not current sequence.
current sequence is redo log which has been not yet archived
I think everything is perfect here.. no issues.
Hope you understood, let me know if not clear , thanks. -

hi all ,
i have installed 10.2.0.2 databases and configure dataguard. everything works fine but i have 1 problem.
imagine that server 1 is primary ;
when i check on server 1 ; (primary DB)
SQL> archive log list;

on the alert_log of stanby server , it locate the archived logs from primary on */u01/app/oracle/product/10g/dbs/* not on */u01/app/oracle/archive/SID*
Primary database is in MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY mode

if i do switchover i faced with same reverse situation ; ( old primary acts like the old standby and old standby acts like old primary db )
i have already set log_archive_dest_1 on both server.
i want both standby and primary db locates the archive logs on */u01/app/oracle/archive/SID* not on */u01/app/oracle/product/10g/dbs/*
what do i have to correct this situation ???
thankshere is the output from standby ;

What is Media Recovery Log ..? Physical Standby Database
Hello All,
In my physical stdby database alert log I could see the below message, I'm not sure what id Media Recovery Log and why it is dumping ORACLE_HOME Directory..?
Could any one please help on this..? I need to house keep ORACLE_HOME directory.

The alert log is providing you with information. If you want more run this query :
select process,status,client_process,sequence# from v$managed_standby;You should see processes like ARCH, RFS and MRP0.
MRP will tell you if its applying log(s), waiting for a log, or if it thinks there's a gap.

"needs media recovery" after a successful recovery ???
RMAN novice here....
Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Redhat Linux (Itanium)
Running in NOarchivelog mode
In RMAN, I backed up a set of datafiles in read only mode taking this approach....
sql "alter tablespace foo read only";
configure channel 1 device type disk format 'backupdisk/mybackuparea/foo.dbf.bck';
backup datafile 'dbdisk/mydb/foo.dbf';
sql "alter tablespace foo read write;
Everything seemed to go fine.
After some time, I wanted to restore/recover. This is what I did (again, in RMAN"...
sql "alter fablespace foo offline";
restore datafile 'dbdisk/mydb/foo.dbf';
recover datafile 'dbdisk/mydb/foo.dbf' noredo;
sql "alter tablespace foo online";
My first stab at it, without the "noredo" failed. But with the "noredo" I got
"Starting recover at ...."
A set of channel assignment statements
"Finished recover at ..."
Looks to have run OK.
But then, when I try to put the tablesopace back online...
"failure of sql command on default channel at...."
"failure during parse/execution of SQL statement: alter tablespace foo online"
"file 1 needs media recovery"
"data file 1: 'dbdisk/mydb/foo.dbf'"
What gives?
Thanks for any helpI've read the books and googled this to death.
Looks like I'm screwed.
At this point, I don't even care about the datafile or the tablespace it contained. I just want my database back.
I dropped the tablespace and it's datafile (and it's data too). I'll have to repopulate from scratch.
Lesson learned
This is what I want to do.....
I want to do a 1x/wk backup of a schema (not the whole DB, I don't have enough disk space for that, just 1 of the schemas). I've designed the thing such that each schema has it;s own tablespaces (no overlap) and each tablespace maps to a single datafile.
I would have liked to do some sort of online backup of the schema (read/write while backup is happening), but I'll settle for read only. If Oracle can't hack that, then I'll take the tablespaces offline.
The schema contains hundreds of millions of records, and the load preocess involves several times that number of data manipulation statements (deletes, updates, inserts). I'd rather not use archivelog mode because I don't have the disk space for it. And, given the volume and nature of the data I'm loading (hundreds of millions of records, created from the data in large raw data files), and how it's being loaded (precompiled C/SQL programs), I would never have need to "rerun" the enormous archives for any reason.
So...
1) backup a single schema (an exclusive set of tablespaces/datafiles)
2) as "online" as possible
3) in noarchivelog mode.
The only thing that I've seen that can do this is EXPORT/IMPORT. I tried that, but extrapolating IMPORT performance, even with all the streamlining recommendations, would take over 3 days. For this reason, IMPORT is not a viable option.

Media Recovery failed with error 1111
Hi,
on 10g R2 on Unix I have :
Media Recovery Start
Managed Standby Recovery not using Real Time Apply
Fri Jun 24 10:56:52 2011
Media Recovery failed with error 1111
From alert.log :
Errors in file /data01/oracle/mydb/admin/bdump/hhhh_17637.trc:
ORA-01111: name for data file 523 is unknown - rename to correct file
ORA-01110: data file 523: '/oracle/product/10g/db_1/dbs/UNNAMED00523'

ORA-01110: data file 523: /oracle/product/10g/db_1/dbs/UNNAMED00523'
Any idea ?
Thanks.here is one test case, i ran into same issue. and reolved as below.
When Standby_file_management is set to “MANUAL” , if any data files added on primary database, These changes certainly won’t be altered in standby database.
After starting MRP process, it dies and terminated with the following errors.
Errors from Alert log file:-
Errors in file /oracle/app/oracle/admin/CC/bdump/cc_mrp0_22294.trc:

Check out from SQL, Which files need to be recovered on standby database?
SQL> select * from v$recover_file where error like '%FILE%';
FILE# ONLINE ONLINE_ ERROR CHANGE# TIME
+536 ONLINE ONLINE FILE MISSING 0+
SQL>
On Primary check out for actual naming convention:-
SQL> select file#,name from v$datafile where file#=536;
FILE# NAME
+536 DATA/c/datafile/undotbs9.595.750444337
SQL>
On Standby check datafile name:-
SQL> select file#,name from v$datafile where file#=536;
FILE# NAME
+536 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/UNNAMED00536+
SQL>
Make sure still standby_file_management is set to “MANUAL”, After performing media recovery again can be enabled to “AUTO”.
Rename datafile from standby database:-
SQL> alter database create datafile '/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/UNNAMED00536' as 'DATA3/cc/datafile/undotbs9_595_750444337';+
Database altered.
Start the MRP Now:-
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Database altered.
After creating the file, MRP will start applying archives on standby database. -
I am running Oracle 10g on windows 2003 R2.
1) My UNDO TBS require media recovery, but the data file is in place for the mentioned location.
Error encountered ORA - 01113 - needs media recovery.
How can i do media recovery.
2) My PROD1 TBS was full and i wanted to resize the datafile. i got error on the client admin console and connection was lost.
When i try to connect again to the instance i get ORA- 12638 - credential fail error.
Am not able to connect to the instance from client admin console, but i am already connect thru SQL Plus on the DB Server.
Please adivse how can i resolve this.
RegardsI get following error when i try to recover undo tbs
datafile.
SQL> recover datafile
'e:\oracle\oradata\ptmn\undotbs.dbf';
ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal
errorCheck your alert.log see if there any additional errors.
Check if the datafile is still online,
select * from dba_data_files
where file_id=2Do you have any active transaction in the database ?
select * from v$transactionIf there's no active undo segment, it's might be easier just create a new undo tablespace, change your default undo tablespace to new one and offline drop the old one.
