Building RAC database thru RMAN backup

Hi Guys,
I am having ERP PROD database on 2 nodes 116 and 117(RAC) server. We have a scheduled RMAN HOT backup of this database
WE also have ASM implemented.
We have another 2 servers named 36 and 37(RAC and ASM) which has ERP Test Database and the thing is that we want to refresh this
test database using ERP PROD RMAN backup.
Can someone please post the proper steps to restore the RMAN backup to ERP Test database as ADM is alos there.
As it is little urgent for us.
help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Milan Rathod

1. take the backup of production database
rman connect target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog format '/u01/db/backup/%d_%I_%s_%T';
move the backup to test server (same location /u01/db/backup/ bcoz rman checks for backupset in the same location only)
add the below two lines in the test database-- initTEST.ora file
comment cluster_ parameters in initTEST.ora file
eg:-
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT = (+EBAOUATDATADG1/prod/,/u01/db/app/admin/test/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT = (+EBAOUATDATADG1/prod/,/u01/db/app/admin/test/)
check the connectivity between prod and test database.
from test
$tnsping PROD
from prod machine
$tnsping TEST
in test server
startup nomount
rman target sys@proddb auxiliary /
duplicate target database to test;
after completion of duplicate/clone step convert the single instance test to rac instance by uncomment the cluster_ parameters in initTEST.ora parameter
startup mount the second node in TEST
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE PUBLIC THREAD 2 ;
alter database open;
hope, this will helps you.
Good Luck

  • 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 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;"

  • Standby database from RMAN backup

    I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.

    For recovery of a standby database,
    I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.

    I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
    In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.

    A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

  • Build standby database using cold backup on a different file system & host

    Hi gurus,
    The database version is 11.2.0.3. OS is HP UX Itanium 11.31
    I am building a standby database using cold backup of primary. The primary mount points are (/p003/oracle, /p004/oracle) on HOST1 and the standby file system on HOST2 are (/s003/oracle,/s004/oracle). I am not using Data Guard to apply logs as we have a script that mounts the log location periodically to standby server and apply the logs to make it current. I am using cold backup as the database is small like 200G and can be taken down. Could someone help me with the steps to build standby using cold backup for a different file location in standby ?? My concern is I can copy the data files from /p003 to /s003. How will I build the controlfile ?
    If it was same File system on both HOST 1 and HOST2 I can copy the cold backup to the standby server, build a standby control file on primary and copy and replace the standby control file and everything was set.
    Thanks
    Cherrish Vaidiyan

    Hello;
    I have a note on this using a cold copy of the current files instead of a copy backup :

  • ORA-19602 during backup of a RAC database with RMAN

    Dear All,
    We have an Oracle 10g database on a 2 nodes. This database is running in noarchivelog mode. While doing an offline backup of this database, we encountered ora-19602 errors. See below:
    channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:55
    channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backupset
    channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset

    ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG modeBelow were the steps that we followed:
    1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
    2. We then "rman target /"
    3. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
    4. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
    5. RMAN failed with the above errors
    Can someone advice what went wrong? Thanks!

    Hi..
    1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
    2. export oracle_sid=sid
    3. We then "rman target /"
    4. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
    5. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
    Changed step 2.
    Also, from sqlplus can you check the

  • Syntax for full backup thru RMAN

    hi all ..
    i have oracle 11g installed on M5000, Solaris 10
    i want to take full backup of my database thru RMAN
    i have enter following on backup server
    . .db/env
    connect catalog rrkas/rr345
    (connected)
    connect target sys/root123@grid1
    (connected)
    RMAN> run {
    allocat channel dev1 type disk;
    backup database
    format '/export/home/oracle/dumps/grid3_%t_%sp%p';
    release channel dev1;
    it started the job.On my dbserver file is created as per the format.
    just want to ask, is it the right way to take full/physical backup? Is this backup enough to fully recover the files, in case a new RAC is added to the cluster?
    thanks in advance.

    If your database is running in ARCHIVELOG mode, this is not enough: you must backup archived redo logs for example with
    backup database plus archivelog:Read about consistent and inconsistent backups in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmcncpt.htm#BABIHBBE and about archived redo logs backups in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmbckba.htm#i1006454

  • Create a database from 8i RMAN backup

    Hi,
    I am in need to recover some historic data from a historic database's RMAN backup.
    The situation is ... I have one old RMAN backup of a 8i database which includes datafiles, archivellog files and control files. Init.ora file is also available.
    I have installed the 8i software in a host and created the oracle service through ORADIM and pwd file through ORAPWD utility. Then copied the init.ora file under 'C:\Oracle\ADMIN\ORCL\PFILE' and the RMAN backup files under 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE' folder.
    Now I can start the instance with the init.ora file but can not mount as control files are not there. when I try to restore the control files through RMAN as...
    RMAN> run
    2> {
    3> restore controlfile;
    4> }

    Now without the catalog database how can I restore the control files and the database from the RMAN backup?
    I think the old RMAN metadata was stored in catalog database.
    Any suggestion please?
    regards

    Sorry I wrongly said that I do not have the DBID, I have DBID but I have controlfile backup as RMAN backupset, not in Binary. So even if I set DBID, RMAN asks for the catalog database, which is not available.

  • How to find total size of RMAN backup files?

    Hi there
    env: Oracle 10gR2, RHEL 64bit
    My client has a production database where rman backups are taken: Level-0 backup every Sunday and Level-1 Monday thru Saturday.
    I have very limited access to this production database because it is being managed by third party and they won't provide me my required info (not sure why). I do not have access to their rman repository. To connect to the database I have to login to an intermediate server and then login to the database server. I have no access to Enterprise Manager. So in short, my access is limited. I want to gather the information on total size of rman backup files - both for a Level-0 and Level-1 backups separately. I understand that this info can be retrieved from rman repository. Are there any data dictionary views/tables where I may get this info?

    I am having oracle 10.2.0.4 rac database with ASM configuration on RHEL5. Every week/day i take rman level 0 / level 1 backups by using RMAN into disk. Now i would like to test those backups. For that i need to drop this existing database and restrore, recovery from those backups. My database is configured with asm that is having two disk groups.
    DATA for storing data
    FRA for archive logs
    How can i drop the rac 10.2.0.4 database and restore & recovery database from RMAN backups with asm. Could any one send clean steps for this testing?
    Thanks
    Vamshi

    I asked about instances. Before performing your steps is it mandatory to bring down all the oracle instances. Before droping this database how to deregister these services from clusterware? After recover the database how to register the database services with clusterware?if you want to register/de-register, you need to use SRVCTL in clusterware. commands to ADD/REMOVE from clusterware, refer this below note.

    Sri,
    This could be done multiple ways. Simplest for you is to use DBCA:

  • RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device

    Dear All
    IS it possible to take online RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device?
    Note: this is not a tape library, a stand alone tape device.
    Thanks & Regards

    In RAC, Please note that you can take backup from any node and you can able to restore from any node.
    If you taking backup to disk then you must mount the same backup mount on both servers in order to able to backup and restore.
    In your case you are taking backup to FRA and from there taking to tape.
    The TSM wtih tdop agent is congiured on Node1 and not on Node 2 thats why you are not able to restore from node2.
    27029, 00000, "skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error"
    // *Cause:  sbtrestore returned an error.  This happens when retrieving a
    // backup file during a restore operation.
    // *Action: This error is returned from the media management software which is
    // linked with Oracle. There should be additional messages which
    // explain the cause of the error. This error usually requires
    // contacting the media management vendor.

    If you restore from FRA or using RMAN both nodes know the backup location and able to restore.
    Hope this helps,
