Cannot do online backup of 2012 VM within 2012 R2

Hi, I have several Windows 2012 VM's running on a 2012 R2 host. None of these VM's can do an online backup. They both have a SCSI controller installed, and all the HyperV integration services installed. For a 2008 R2 HyperV host, the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\ScopedSnapshots registry entry needed to be added.
Does this also need to be added when 2012 R2 is the host?

Hi,
Unfortunately, the available information is not enough have a clear view of the occurred behavior. For narrow down the reason, could you provide more information about your
issue. For example, the exact text of any error messages that you received that are associated with this problem?
when this problem occurs the system log record information, screenshots is the best information.
You can refer the following similar thread, if your same with that one you can try to fix it first.

Could someone advise me on what is exactly the command

No Online backups due to datafiles offline than I canu0092t recover. How...?

Hi gurus!!!
I got into a problem with some datafiles.
We have MySAP in a BD oracle 9.2.0.6
I used Oracle Entreprise Manager Console to generate two datafiles in the tablespace PSAPPRDUSR,
but I generated them in another tablesapce (PSAPPRD) with a name of file,
size and location very different from those that there uses the tablespace PSAPPRD.
So... I put them offline later to erase them later!!!
The datafiles contains no data.
Later, in the night backup:
 BR0334W Status of database file /oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2 is RECOVER
 BR0334W Status of database file /oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2a is RECOVER
 BR0301E SQL error -1128 at location BrTspAlter-3
 ORA-01128: cannot start online backup - file 31 is offline
 ORA-01110: data file 31: '/oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2'
 BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2007-04-20 03.01.21
 BR0316E 'Alter tablespace PSAPPRD begin backup' failed
 BR0056I End of database backup: bdvbtndh.ant 2007-04-20 03.01.21

And now... I neither can erase them nor can put online again.
To erase them I used:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2' OFFLINE DROP;
Database altered.
SQL> commit;
But they continue there, do not resign.
To put them online:
SQL> alter database recover datafile '/oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2';
alter database recover datafile '/oracle/PRD/sapdata4/prdusr_2/prdusr.data2'
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00280: change 31203204 for thread 1 is in sequence #2574

But we have continued working and I don't want to lose any data.
HEEEELP!!!!
What I can do to recover the datafiles and to continue with my daily Online backups?
The BD is in production and I do not have long time to fix it, only a few hours on Saturdays night.

Hi,
alter database datafile offline drop;
This command is not meant to drop a datafile. It is meant to offline the datafile with the intention of dropping the tablespace.
For a tablespace comprising multiple datafiles you can only drop a datafile by dropping the entire tablespace, this will work even you have one datafile.
If you have 10gr2, it's finally possible to drop a datafile as long as
it's not the only datafile within the tablespace, and
the tablespace is only and in read-write status.
So since you are on 9i your situation in summary:
If you have more than one datafile in the tablespace and you wish to keep the objects that reside in the other datafile(s) which are part of this tablespace, then you must export all the objects inside the tablespace.
1. Gather information on the current datafiles within the tablespace by running some query to remember the t/s, segment, and datafile info.
2. Export all the objects that you wish to keep.
3. Once the export is done, issue the DROP TABLESPACE <tablespace name> INCLUDING CONTENTS.
4. Delete the datafiles belonging to this tablespace using the operating system.
5. Recreate the tablespace with the datafile(s) desired, then import the objects into that tablespace.
Hope this helps and good luck,
George

Online Backup Database in Linux

I try to use command "alter tablespace system begin backup ; " to back the datafile
but it show me the message "cannot start online backup; media recovery not enabled".
What should I do for that.
thanks

Sounds to me like you are not in Archivelog mode. You can not do HOT backups if you haven't put that database in this mode. I believe you must be in MOUNT state to do this. You will also want to add some lines in your init.ora so that it knows where to write the archive logs and it starts up the process at startup.

Online Backup of supported Linux VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 / SC DPM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a lab environment:
Win 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
running 2 Linux Machines:
Linux2 - CentOS 6.4 with manually installed Linux Integration services 3.4
Linux3 - CentOS 6.4 without LIS (should be already included in CentOS)
Another machine running Win 2012 R2 Server with SC DPM 2012 R2
but both VMs show as "Offline" when trying to back them up via DPM. Tried local Windows Server Backup with the same result.
I am able to backup the VMs "offline" (pausing the VM, taking snapshot, resume VM) but according to MS, SC DPM 2012 R2 should be able to do Online backups for supported Linux VMs (http://blogs.technet.com/b/virtualization/archive/2013/07/24/enabling-linux-support-on-windows-server-2012-r2-hyper-v.aspx)
The only things in the EventLog are these:
A storage device in 'Linux3' loaded but has a different version from the server. Server version 6.0 Client version 4.2 (Virtual machine ID 4F5CDDD8-B855-41CF-83B2-772C1B99090D). The device will work, but this is an unsupported configuration.
This means that technical support will not be provided until this problem is resolved. To fix this problem, upgrade the integration services. To upgrade, connect to the virtual machine and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks

Hi,
That list would need to come from the Windows hyper-v group, they are responsible with adding the feature to the integration components for various Linux OSes. DPM just backs up whatever the hyper-V writer presents to us, if the guest supports
online, we back it up online, if not hyper-V saves the guest before the VSS snapshot is taken and DPM takes the backup from the saved state.
NEW NOTE ADDED 1-29-14: Windows group just released “Linux Integration Services Version 3.5 for Hyper-V”. The
document mentions that some versions of Red Hat and CentOS are now
supported to do online backup.
Live virtual machine backup support
======================
RHEL/CentOS 6.0-6.3
RHEL/CentOS 5.7-5.8
RHEL/CentOS 5.5-5.6
ADDTL NOTES: If there are open file handles during a live virtual machine backup operation, the backed-up virtual hard disks (VHDs) might have to undergo a file system consistency check (fsck) when restored.
Live backup operations can fail silently if the virtual machine has an attached iSCSI device or a physical disk that is directly attached to a virtual machine (“pass-through disk”).

Restore Online Backup in SCDPM 2012 R2

Dear all,
i have a question on SCDPM 2012 R2 + Azure Backup.
i had deployed such solution and disk backup are perfect! However, i had configured online backup policy to Azure Backup since February and i noticed i do not have the options to allow me to perform online restore!
Below is my online protection policy:
i believe i configured it correct to adhere below policy:
- perform a monthly backup and keep for ONE year
- perform a yearly backup and keep for SEVEN years
but when i go to recovery tab, it just doesnt show February backup, nor March 2nd have any backup. all the backup available are disk short term of 30 days.

Hi DeVaLiaN,
Thanks for posting here!
Each DPM backup to Azure Backup is a recovery point. With an Azure current limit of 366 recovery points your retention time for all backups shouldn’t exceed the 366 limit. In other words the retention times you set for you daily + weekly + monthly
+ yearly backups should sum up to 366 or less.
You might want to double check your configuration.
Refer to the below listed articles which might help you narrow down the issue.

Clone from standby ended in ARC: Cannot archive online log based on backup

Hi
I m into scenario where my prod db is in one data center and standby is in other data center.
Both are geographically separated. I have to get a copy of prod on to standby data center side.
Sending data over the network is taking long time either with duplicate db from active db or take backup and copy over standby side and restore it.
so i thought of duplicate db from standby db which is in same data center, using 11g RMAN duplicate from active standby command.

How does recovery work after an online backup

Hello,
While trying to conceptually understand how backup and recovery works, I came accross a question concerning hot (online) backup.
This is a conceptual question (I am trying to understand how things work), it is not a "how should I proceed/ what should I do step by step" question.
As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database). Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.
Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.
I believe that undo information from the time the hot backup was taken may be required e.g. in the following scenario:
Assume we are taking a hot backup of a given tablespace, i.e. we are copying all OS files that make up this tablespace, while the database is potentially being used. Let D1 be one of the datafiles in our tablespace and let transaction T1 modify datafile D1. Let transaction T1 further be uncommitted while the copy of datafile D1 is being made and let (at least some of) the changes from T1 be included in the backup copy D1' of D1 (because DBWR has already written the modified blocks at the time they were being copied to the backup). Let transaction T1 be rolled back after the copy is completed. D1' will thus contain modifications from T1, while D1 will not.
Now some time later the datafile D1 is lost. When recovering D1 from the copy D1', the (archived) redo logs will be applied to D1'. Before that, transaction T1 should be rolled back in the copy D1', because modifications from T1 must not appear in the recovered version of the database.
I do however not understand, where the information to rollback transaction T1 exactly comes from. It may still be in the current UNDO tablespace. I do however assume that rollback information is not kept in the UNDO tablespace forever. I see three possible answers to this
(a) There are some requirements which I missed so far to backup the UNDO tablespace whenever a hot backup is made.
(b) Since the Oracle "RDBMS" has to be notified that an online backup is being done, it might store all relevant undo information (e.g. write it to the redo log) when the tablespace is put in backup mode.
(c) There are situations when recovery is not possible due to "missing old UNDO information".
Answer (b) seems the most plausible to me. I did however not find any confirmation of this and if (b) really is the answer, I would be interested to understand what information is stored where by the Oracle RDMBS and how it is used for recovery.
To summarize I have the following questions:
(I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?
(II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?
(III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?
Thank you for any hints and answers
kind regards
Martin

Its a highly technical question and I can be completely wrong due to my very less knowledge but I would attempt to answer still. Hope I say something sensible so bear with me.
As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database).Correct. But it would depend on the tool you are going to use to do so.Using o/s level commands like CP and all would require you to manually copy the files to the backup location. Using RMAN, it would be lot easier and RMAN would take care of everything.
Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). Again, this is a requirement only in the case of user-managed backup . In that case, because of the fractured block issue , its important that the corresponding older information/image of the buffer is also copied in the redo stream and that's done when the begin backup command is used. Using RMAN, this is not needed as RMAN can read the consistent image which it would store in the backup piece, exactly in the same way in which select request is fulfilled by oracle for a dirty buffer which is yet to be made consistent.
During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.Correct!
Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was >taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). >However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO >tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to >ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.The reason that its not a must to do so is that if the transaction is yet active, there is no way that Oracle would overwrite the Undo information of it, even if you may come after 100 years, it would be there. The Undo segment would mark those blocks as active undo blockswhich contains the information of that transaction whose status within the transacton table of that undo segment is still marked as active. So its there all the time in the undo tablespace. Now, for an instance, let's assume that the undo is not there as well( it would be but let's assume), the changes made to the undo segment's blocks are also recored in the redo as its just a change happening to any other segment like EMP,DEPT except with the difference that its not done by you but by oracle. So using that information, in the future , if there would be a need to replay those changes, necessary information to do so can be brought up from the redo blocks stored in the redo/archive logs. Yes, if there would be pending transactions that would require Undo information to get them rolled back and you have lost Undo tablespace and have no backup of it , you wont be able to bring back the database as it would be inconsistent and oracle would not let you to do it. In that case, you may require to use hacks to get it up and that would be really tricky situation.
(I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?As I said above, it must be there if you are anticipating loss of Undo tablespace. If you have lost it, you would need a backup and all the archive logs and redo logs to recover and get it back to the point where the current database is . Rest, oracle would take care as it would reapply the redo contents of the undo segments over the undo segment and get it consitent.
(II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?As I said , pending transaction's undo is never overwritten by Oracle. Its always kept and marked as active undo . Only a transaction end would make it elgible to get overwritten and that too won't happen immediately(undo_retention would kick in) .
(III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?I have to see if its there some where step by step mentioned and I shall update the reply once I shall find the link. Hoep someone else in the meantime finds it .

Database open fails after online backup recovery

Hi Friends
We are trying to set up an additional server using the online backup of our DEV server. We have been following SAP Note 549828 for the same. Having restored the online backup, the open database failed.
To resolve the same, in accordance to SAP Note 549828, we created a backup control file with success using the command
create controlfile reuse set database DEV resetlogs noarchivelog
However on issuance of the command
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL
we run into an error as to
ORA-00279: change 794638222 generated at 10/25/2007 12:43:20 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf
ORA-00280: change 794638222 for thread 1 is in sequence #9766

We even manually copied the file system.data1 from the source to the target server but to no avail.
Also the SQL command
SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE
displays a different change# for system.data1 while it is showing same number for all other datafiles.
Please advice at the earliest as we are struck. Points awaiting their master.

Some inputs addition to Erics comments
The problem is you dont have archives ie Offline redo logfiles in correct location.
/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf Here DEVarch1_9766 is archive file which is misssing from location /oracle/DEV/oraarch. To recover DB you need Archives generated during hot backup.
Generally these steps willl give you desired result.
select * from v$logfile;
We normally switch the log files to the number of log groups that exist
alter system switch logfile;
create a Backup directory to hold our hot back datafiles and Archives
When the backup is complete check the backup location to see if all the files are available. We could now either FTP the same to the other system or copy over these files to another location in case of cloning on the same system.
Copy over all the files to their respective filesystems and directories and then edit the file that was created using the backup controlfile to trace. Copy that file to the remote system and edit it accordingly.
check that all the files are in the right location and edit that information in the control file
Once the controlfile is run successfully and you get the statement processed, we can start applying the archive logs that we have moved to the archive log destination directory as per the init<sid>.ora file.
do a recover of the database to its consistent state
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
The create control file command only changes the structure of the database and the SID name, the header of the datafiles still hold all the required information. The above command would ask you to input the archive log file names one by one to do recovery or you could choose the AUTO option. Once the recovery process is complete, open the database with the resetlogs option

Hi;
Error: ORA 205
Text: error in identifying control file <name>
Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and
size.
Action: Either
Check that the proper control filename is referenced in the
CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter in the initialization parameter
file and try again.
When using mirrored control files, that is, more than one control file
is referenced in the initialization parameter file, remove the control
filename listed in the message from the initialization parameter file
and restart the instance.
If the message does not recur, remove the problem control file from
the initialization parameter file and create another copy of the
control file with a new filename in the initialization parameter file.
Regard

Can't access online backup and sharing web site

Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed? I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material. Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software. My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed. There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site. (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service. They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it. They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site. They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer? That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of. I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed. It seems to have arisen again.

Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend. It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer. This gave me access to OBS from that computer. However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon. The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer. Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it. That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

Online Backup Application - Not Displaying Properly

I have installed the Online Backup program (4.0) and, when started, the main window has no scroll bars and cannot be resized. Yet you see content, such as backup scheduling, continues further down the page. You can't get to the rest of the window due to the lack of a scroll bar. OS is Windows 7. Any idea of how to fix? Should I reinstall? Is there a newer version than 4.0?
Thanks.

I had the identical problem and after going through the frustration of calling Verizon Support and selecting endless menu options I finally got the Internet Support group - who DO NOT provide support for the Online backup - the whole thing is outsourced and they tranferred me to the support section of the developers of the program. Here is the fix, You must have your Font Size DPI set for 96 DPI, if you have it set to 120 DPI you will not be abel to see the entire window! The support tech said the program developers made the window non-resizeable and assumed everyone used the default 96 DPI! He also said they know of the problem and that it may be fixed one day. It surely didn't sound like fixing it was much of a priority though. But setting your font to 96 DPI does fix the problem.

Less redo generates at the time of online backup using RMAN

Hi,
can someone eleborate that why less redo generates at the time of RMAN online backup in comparison of manual hotbackup.
Thanks

A manual hot backup (aka "OS backup" or "scripted backup") cannot handle fractured blocks. This happens when a backup command is copying out blocks from a datafile at the same time as DBWR is updating blocks. The Oracle Block Size (8KB) is generally a multiple of the OS Block size (512Bytes to 4KB or 8KB, depending on the filesystem / raw device and how the OS command copies blocks out). It is possible for DBWR to write 8KB and the OS backup utility to be concurrently reading the same Oracle block as, say, two different 4KB reads. The first half of the Oracle block may be read by one OS call and the second half by another OS call -- the two halves would be inconsistent with each other if Oracle were writing the database block at the same time.
(Therefore a restore of such a backup would give you an inconsistent -- i.e. fractured -- block, which would be logically corrupt).
In order to handle such issues, after a BEGING BACKUP is issued, for every first change to a database block, the whole block is written to the redo stream, not just the change vectors. (If the same database block is subsequently modified while in BACKUP mode, it is only the change vectors that have to be written to the redo stream). Once the END BACKUP is issued, the redo stream does not need to capture whole database blocks.
If such a backup is restored, it still has fractured blocks. However, when applying the ArchiveLogs generated during the Backup, each such fractured block is "automagically repaired" because a whole image is restored from the ArchiveLog. (Subsequent changes are replayed as changes through the change vectors).
