  • Apps Cloning using RMAN

    Hi,
    I am doing Apps 11i cloning with rapidclone.
    I have cloned the database using RMAN.
    As per the metalink note 230672.1 I have to run following script on DB node.
    perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <target context file>
    However I dont have the context file for the new instance.
    Should I copy the context file (for DB) from source instance , rename it and use it?
    If I run the adcfgclone.pl using the source instance context file (present in the target db node), it throws
    error for database connection.
    Platform - Oracle Ebusiness Suite 11.5.10 on Oracle enterprise Linux 4 and Oracle 9i database.
    Pls advice.
    Thanks,
    rane

    However I dont have the context file for the new instance.Did you run "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack" before issuing "perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <target context file>"? This should create the context file for you.
    Should I copy the context file (for DB) from source instance , rename it and use it?No.
    If I run the adcfgclone.pl using the source instance context file (present in the target db node), it throws
    error for database connection.This is an expected behavior since the context file of the source node cannot be used on the target node.

    HI friends..
    I m trying to create a duplicate db on different host ....... 27

    i know how to create dup db using cold backup..but dont know how to create it using RMAN Backup..
    I have googled..but getting issues..
    Steps Taken till now
    Note- I dont have catalog created on live db..
    I already have set the tnsnames.ora on both servers
    1) Took full backup plus archivelog plus control file on 15
    2) moved it to another host..ie 27
    3) now on live db..
    I conected to rman target /
    so i m now connected to prod db
    than i try to conect to rman auxiliary sys/sys@dubpd..
    But it gives me insufficient privilages error..
    Can you tell me what to do next..Coz unless i get into mount phase on sever 27( new server)..i cannot use the control file from backup).my dupdb is up in nomount phase..but what enxt i can do..to restore the control file and than restore the backup after cataloging them to right path..

    now @command prompt..@live server.. i did sqlplus sys/sys@standby
    It gives me ORA-12518
    Am i missing something..1- It could be a network problem. You may enable tracing on listener (and examine the logs).
    2- Add "DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF" to listener.ora, then reload the listener
    3- You may want to increase "large_pool_size"

  • Ebs r12 cloning using rman online backup

    dear all,
                 how are you guys? i have ebs r12  on multi node and i want to clone db tier and apps tier using rman online backup,can  anybody provide me the detail steps of cloning ebs(db tier and appstier ) using rman online backup and  directory structure on source and target database is also different.your help highly appreciated thanks in advance.
    regards.

    Hi,
    You cannot use RMAN to clone the Apps tier of the EBS and you may use RMAN only on the DB tier. For a complete backup, as mentioned by Hemant K Chitale, you will have to use the rapid clone utility.
    To perform a rapid clone using RMAN there are plenty of step by step instructions in google which may guide in addition to support.oracle.com, Let me google that for you
    Thanks &
    Best Regards,

    Can i clone DB running on AIX 5.3 using RMAN and recreate it in a Solaris (5.9) machine?

    I hope it is possible using transportable database concept for cross platfomr migrations.
    It is simple and fastest procedure.

  • Cloning using rman backups?

    Is it possible to clone using RMAN backups?
    How do we do it . Please tell me the steps of configuring.

    Hi,
    Let's take the example to create the auxiliary (clone) database using the rman backup in same server.
    1)Building the auxiliary database directory structure
    a) datafile, control file, redo file location
    b) pfile,bdump,cdump,udump
    2) Create the pfile from spfile (if required) and use it for auxiliary database with appropriate modification
    3) Make all the necessary changes to your aux1 init.ora file
    control_files=….
    background_dump_dest=….
    user_dump_dest=…
    log_archive_dest_1=….
    db_name=‘aux1’
    instance_name=‘aux1’
    remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
    4) Start aux1 instance in nomount mode
    ORACLE_SID=aux1
    export ORACLE_SID=aux1
    sqlplus /nolog
    sql>connect / as sysdba
    sql> startup nomount pfile=/test/initaux1.ora
    5)Configure the listener and tnsname.ora file for auxiliary database. Restart the listener.
    lsnrctl>stop
    lsnrctl>start
    listener.ora entry

  • Using RMAN for creating a Dataguard Standby db.

    Hello,
    I have two 11.2.0.1.0 oracle instances running on two cloned Red Hat Enterprise Linux (rhel98 and rhel99). Linux version:
    Linux rhel99 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 25 17:46:45 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI am trying to perform a "duplicate target database for standby" as part of the list of steps to get a Physical Standby located at the rhel99 server with DB_UNIQUE_NAME ORCL99. But I am missing something because it keeps failing with this error:
    RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN 2818790
    RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script
    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 5 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restoreI double checked the directory structure on primary (rhel98) and standby (rhel99), and it's the same. As control file is restored during the duplicate process I cannot perform the catalog start with, so the backups were placed on the same locations at rhel98 and 99.
    According to that error message it is not finding any of the datafile backups.

    Thanks Hemant but the issue is the same with sequence 6 or 22. I posted the RMAN log from an old duplicate I ran yesterday using sequence 6, but as you can see below the error is not changing with setting "until sequence 22"
    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    Your database datafile backups are as of Checkpoint SCN 3100062 which is higher than the archivelogs (and certainly higher than SEQ#6).
    Possibly SEQUENCE#22 will cover the database checkpoint SCN. Therefore, the minimum UNTIL SEQUENCE would be 23 or higher.

  • Problem in performing multiple Point-In-Time Database Recovery using RMAN

    Hello Experts,
    I am getting an error while performing database point in time recovery multiple times using RMAN. Details are as follows :-
    Environment:
    Oracle 11g, ASM,
    Database DiskGroups : DG_DATA (Data files), DG_ARCH(Archive logs), DG_REDO(Redo logs Control file).
    Snapshot DiskGroups :
    Snapshot1 (taken at 9 am): SNAP1_DATA, SNAP1_ARCH, +SNAP1_REDO
    Snapshot2 (taken at 10 am): SNAP2_DATA, SNAP2_ARCH, +SNAP2_REDO
    Steps performed for point in time recovery:
    1. Restore control file from snapshot 2.
         RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE from '+SNAP2_REDO/orcl/CONTROLFILE/Current.256.777398261';
    2. For 2nd recovery, reset incarnation of database to snapshot 2 incarnation (Say 2).
    3. Catalog data files from snapshot 1.
    4. Catalog archive logs from snapshot 2.
    5. Perform point in time recovery till given time.
         STARTUP MOUNT;
         RUN {
              SQL "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss''";
              SET UNTIL TIME "06-mar-2013 09:30:00";
              RESTORE DATABASE;
              RECOVER DATABASE;
              ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    Results:
    Recovery 1: At 10.30 am, I performed first point in time recovery till 9:30 am, it was successful. Database incarnation was raised from *2* to *3*.
    Recovery 2: At 11:10 am, I performed another point in time recovery till 9:45 am, while doing it I reset the incarnation of DB to *2*, it failed with following error :-

    Doubts:
    1. Why did recovery failed 2nd time, but not 1st time and why is RMAN looking for online redo log group_1.257.807150859 in 2nd recovery ?
    3. I tried restoring control file from AutoBackup, in that case both 1st and 2nd recovery succeeded.
    However for this to work, I always need to keep the AutoBackup feature enabled.
    How reliable is control file AutoBackup ? Is there any alternative to using AutoBackup, can I restore control file from snapshot backup only ?
    4. If I restore control file from AutoBackup, then from what point of time/SCN does RMAN restores the control file ?
    Please help me out in this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hello experts,
    I'm little newbie to RMAN recovery. Please help me in these doubts:
    1. If I have datafiles, archive logs & control files backup, but current online REDO logs are lost, then can I perform incomplete database recovery ?yes, if you have backups of everything else
    2. Till what maximum time/scn can incomplete database recovery be performed ??Assuming the only thing lost is the redo logs, you can recover to the last scn in the last archivelog.
    3. What is role of online REDO logs in incomplete database recovery ? They provide the final redo changes - the ones that have not been written to archivelogs
    Are they required for incomplete recovery ?It depends on how much incomplete recovery you need to do.
    Think of all of your changes as a constant stream of redo information. As a redolog fills, it is copied to archive, then (eventually) reused. over time, your redo stream is in archivelog_1, continuing into archvivelog_2, then to 3, and eventually, when you get to the last archivelog, into the online redo. A recovery will start with the oldest necessary point in the redo stream and continue forward. Whether or not you need the online redo for a PIT recovery depends on how far forward you need to recover.
    But you should take every precaution to prevent loss of online redo logs .. starting with having multiple members in each redo group ... and keeping those multiple members on physically separate disks.

  • Problem While Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN

    Hi Guru's
    May be this incidence you all face while creating physical standby DB. I try to create Physical standby database Using RMAN Duplicate Command from one server
    (pri machine) to Standby Machine.
    The steps i followed to create the above are as follows:
    Step 1:- Enable Forced Logging
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
    Step 2:- Configure a Standby Redo Log
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 10
      2> ('/oracle/dbs/log1c.rdo','/oracle/dbs/log2c.rdo') SIZE 500M;
    Step 3:- Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters
    SQL> create pfile='?/dbs/pfileorcl.ora' from spfile;
    Edit the pfile to add the standby parameters, here shown:
    db_unique_name='orcl'
    LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcl,orcldr)'
    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcldr LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcldr'
    *.fal_server=orcldr
    *.fal_client=orcl
    *.standby_file_management=auto
    Step 4:- Enable Archiving
    SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    Step 5:- Setup tnsnames for standby database
    This should be done on primary database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcldr
    orcldr =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = orcldr)
    Step 6:- Backup database and copy it to standby
    This backup script should be run on primary and copied to standby on the same mount point, running this scripts using RMAN, all files under /rman_backup should be copied to /rman_backup on standby server.
    $rman target /
    RMAN> run
    allocate channel c1 type disk;
    allocate channel c2 type disk;
    backup database format '/rman_backup/%U';
    backup archivelog all format '/rman_backup /%U';
    backup current controlfile for standby format '/rman_backup/%U';
    Step 7:- Standby Database Steps
    Installing Oracle Software
    This should be same release and patchset with exactly same ORACLE_HOME mount point.
    Setting Up listener
    Create and start a listener on standby database using NetCA, or creating listener.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
    Step 8:- Set Standby Database Initialization Parameters
    Copying the pfile created in primary database and renames it to initorcldr.ora, and changes these parameters:
    db_unique_name='orcldr'
    LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcldr,orcl)'
    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcl LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcl'
    *.fal_server=orcl
    *.fal_client=orcldr
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
    Step 9:- Setup tnsnames for primary database
    This should be done on standby database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcl
    orcl =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary-svr)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    Step 10:- Copy a Password File
    A password file must be created on the Primary and copied over to the Standby site. The sys password must be identical on both sites. Copy orapworcl to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename file to orapworcldr
    Step 11:- Create mount points for Oracle
    Mount point should be created on standby server with the same convention used in primary, this includes the location for controlfiles, redo logs, datafiles, archive log destination and alert logs.
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/cdump
    $ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/udump
    Step 12:- Use RMAN to restore backup and setup standby
    Connect to RMAN and execute the following command to create standby database, this should be performed on standby server after copying backup and setting tnsnames.
    $ export ORACLE_SID=orcldr
    $ rman target sys/tiger@orcl auxiliary sys/tiger@orcldr
    RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
    Here i am getting problem as :
    While trying to connect to traget database and auxiliary database i notice that when RMAN is connect to both databases it shows
    orcl ( DBID xyz)
    orcl (not mounted)
    Here in my view the second database must be standby database name or auxiiary db name is standby db name which in my case is orcldr
    after this issue i am facing the second issues as :
    in command
    duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
    After modifying the command to
    RMAN> duplicate target database to "standby";
    rman-05520 database name mismatch
    Can u please let me know where i am mistaking

    ok for pri:
    db_name=orcl
    db_unique_name=orcl
    for standby:
    db_name=orcl

    I found the reason. it was because of the the backup set not available.
    But after I prepare the backup set at hte primary host, rman still gave err msg:

  • 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?
