Cold backup Restoration

Hi,
OS: IBM AIX
Oracle 10g.
My database is running in Archivelog mode.
I have to take coldbakup and restore in the new location.
I will use the following steps.
1. Shutdown immediate
2. tar (.dbf, ctr, redolog and archivelog)
Here I have doubt while restoring the database.
Is that necessary to apply archivelog while restoring the backup ( I hope it is not required)
Please suggest me.
Please provide me steps for backup and restore and recovery using coldbackup.
Thanks in advance
KSG

Hi, it is not necessary to restore archived redo logs if you only want to restore to the point of backup, otherwise it is necessary. Why are you using this method anyway and not using RMAN which would be far simpler ?

Cold backup restore to a different bit level

Hi all. I am planning for a coldback restore between two databases. The source db is 10.2.0.3 on 32-bit server Windows 2003 and the destination db is 10.2.0.4 on windows 64-bit. Is it possible to perform this restore? Also is RMAN restore possible? Thanks for any responses.

Hi, I performed a restore of cold backup from 10.2.0.3 database to 10.2.0.4 database on another server. I am receiving this error:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01159: file is not from same database as previous files - wrong database id
I am restoring only the schema specific datafiles from the old database and not system, sysaux files .. I understand that there is a mismatch here because the source datafiles are not compatible with the new system files. Any idea what can be done here to get around this error? I am trying to perform a clone of the database into another server. The database name is same.

Cold backup restore on fail safe environment.

Hi,
The setup:
Windows 2008 with 2 node MSCS cluster in active/passive configuration.
Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 .
Oracle Failsafe 3.4.2
Database :test database; 2 in no. ,both Single instance. Both database are created with cold backup from production.
The Requirement:
To refresh both the test database with cold backup from the same production database as before. And then with the same cold backup create a physical standby database of the newly recreated testing database.
The Plan:
1.take all dbfile,controlfile,redologfiles,standbyredologfiles,tempfiles backup from production.
2.after taking the testing database offline from failsafe and normaly starting on node1; restore dbfile,controlfiles,redologs,srl,tempfiles to testing server. spfile should be properly pointing the new controlfile.
3.startup mount.
4.directory structure for control,redo,srl,dbfiles,tempfiles are diffrent.so,rename file for all dbfiles,redologs,srl,tempfiles.
5.creating a standby controlfile for creating physical standby db of this testing database.
6.open the database.
7.shutdown immediate.
8.start with failsafe.
The doubt:
1. is this plan ok for refresh of the test databases?
2. with the backup taken at step1 and standby ctl file created at step 5 can i create a physical standby database of the testing db?
Please note, the production database is only in picture while taking backup.
Please guys help me for clearing the said doubts.
regards.

Please note, the production database is only in picture while taking backup. You are taking cold backup, So the mentioned procedure you can follow. But ensure all the services/background processes related to database are not running.
Once you prepare Primary database, even from that database you can create standby control file, so that it will be used for standby database.
But i'm not aware of how fail safe it works, As per the core database part whatever the steps you mentioned, it looks fine.
Thank You.

# 결론...... #
따라서 current log file에 기록된 14 row에 대한 부분은 recover가 될수
없지만 archive log file에 적용된 log에 대한 data는 정상적으로 복구가
가능하다.
# 주의 사항 #
cold backup을 restore한 후 database open후 shutdown 한 다음 archive
log mode로 변경하여 recover를 진행하는 경우 SCN number가 변경되기
때문에 ora-600 error가 발생하며 media recovery를 필요로 하기 때문에
주의하여야 한다.

How to restore cold backup + archived log files

Hi,
Suppose I take a cold backup on 18th. After that I have four days of archived log files. if the database crashes on 5th day, I have to restore the 18th cold back + 4 days of archived log files. How do I restore since it is a cold backup and I cant do incomplete recovery.
can I use
Recover database ( with 18th cold backup) in mount state and apply archived logs.
Prabhath

The details of how you perform forward recovery using a cold backup depends on
1- rman or manual backup
2- using current or backup control file
3- if rman, recovery catalog or no recovery catalog
4- if full database recovered or only a few files
Each of these conditions will affect what is known to Oracle and what needs to be done. For example if you restored the entire cold backup including the control file then Oracle would see a consistent database and not need to perform recovery so you would need to startup mount and tell the database to perform recovery using a backup control file. If using rman and no recovery catalog you might need to catalog some of the archived redo logs, etc....
It is advisable to consult the Backup and Recovery manuals before attempting recovery for any new scenario.

ORA-00313: open failed for members during restore from COLD backup

Hi all,
I took a cold backup of an 11.1 database using RMAN (database in mount state).
I used the following command to restore it:
restored the controlfile and then
RESTORE DATABASE FROM TAG 'TAGxxxxxxxxxx';
Now I'm restoring it and it's taking too much time. When checking alert log it says:
ORA-51106: check failed to complete due to an error. See error below
ORA-48318: ADR Relation [HM_FINDING] of version=3 cannot be supported
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1

ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
HPUX-ia64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
RMAN is still in progress, why does it complain about redo?
I'm not doing recovery since it was a cold backup.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Yes, it's the correct one because it says "full restore complete":
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/oracle1/oradata/******/redo1_01.log'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status

Restore from cold backup (rac server)

Hi All,
Oracle version : 10g
OS : SunOS dixie1 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
I am having cold backup of RAC server (2 nodes), I want to restore from cold backup.
The problem is that : when i performed the cold backup using rman at that time Oracle was having 3 ASM diskgroups.But unforunately that disk is no more in use due to some fault.
Now my question is how can i restore from the cold backup as when i'll restore from the cold backup this will ask for the same ASM diskgroups.Even more if i creates the same diskgroup with the same name and same configuration then my doubt is that rman will allow me to restore the same from the cold backup as ASM disk header changed now ?
Thanks,
Vipin

Yes.You can do these and restore/recover your database.First you need startup your ASM instance then create your ASM disk groups and do following:
1.Edit pfile and change controlfile location to diskgroup(Consder that +dgr1)
2.Restore controlfile to this disk group using backup of controlfiles(you say that is cold backup)
rman target /
/*Instance need starting up from pfile*/
startup nomount ;
/*then restore controlfile,give full path of controlfile from coldbackup*/
restore controlfile from 'coldbackup_location\coltrolfile';
alter database mount;
catalog start with 'coldbackup_location';
backup as copy database format '+dgr1';
switch database to copy;
alter database open;

Problem with restoring a database from cold backup

All,
I've got a 10.2.0.4 database that we perform a cold backup on every night with RMAN. On Sunday 2/21, we have level 0 backup. On Monday-Wednesday nights, we take a cold level 1. We also perform a controlfile auto backup each night.
On a second server where I want to restore the database (same version of Oracle 10.2.0.4), I've copied the control file auto backups, the level 0 and the most recent level 1. I now want to restore. I use an RMAN script similar to the following to restore the control files:
connect target /;
set dbid 1973354860;
# Restore the controlfile from the tag that auto backed up the controlfile at the end of the level 0
run
startup nomount;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
restore controlfile to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control01.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control02.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u03/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control03.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
release channel c1;
shutdown immediate;
After the control files restore successfully, I perform some RMAN checks to ensure that all of the files I need for a recovery are there. The RMAN> list backup of database; command shows all of my backup savesets as AVAILABLE for the level0 and level1 backups.
I then try a restore database command; and get the following errors:
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
4> allocate channel c2 type disk;
5> allocate channel c3 type disk;

As you can see, the level 0 and level 1 backups are showing as available. To double check, I perform a crosscheck backup of database;

So I'm unclear as to why RMAN believes the backups of these files don't exist when I attempt to restore the database. Anyone have a clue?
NOTE: I've also tried to restore spcifically with the tag= clause but I get the same results:
RMAN> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';

Just as a follow on to my last post, after the RMAN-06023 messages, I list backups of the three datafiles and as you can see RMAN thinks that they are available. If I exit RMAN and list them at the OS level, they are where RMAN things they should be:

Database Restore from COLD Backup

Dear all,
I .m trying to restore a production database from a COLD backup. Before the COLD BAckup, we have take a HOT backup as usual and then shutdown the database to perform the Cold Backup.
After restirong all the oracle files and arch redo log, i have tried to restart the datbase but it failed with the followgin error message:
SVRMGR> connect internal

Could someone explain to me what i did wrong?
Thank you

Please do not confuse between the backup copies you have. Ensure that you have the latest copy whether cold or hot. If you have COLD copy then simply replace all the data files, redo log files, and the control files and start the database it should start. I do not understand your back up strategy because if you have a Hot backup then why do you need a cold backup. Please let me know in what mode your database is running?

ORA-12560 in database restore cold backup

Hi guys,
I'm trying to restore a cold backup (WINDOWS NT) and I did the following:
1. Restore the datafiles in a specific location, according to the directory that the files were before.
2. Create the service:
C:\>oradim -new -sid ORCL -startmode auto -pfile C:\oracle\admin\ORCL\pfile\initORCL.ora
3. startup the listener with the instance.
4. When I try to connect as follows, I receive the following error:
C:\>connect "/as sysdba"
'connect' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>sqlplus "/as sysdba"

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks

Thanks for your inputs! It is most useful to me.

Restoring archive log after cold backup

Hello forums users,
I read many thing on this topic but I didn't find the good answer.
I performed a cold backup each sunday.
My database is in ARCHIVE LOG mode.
Is it possible to restore ARCHIVE LOG files after restoring COLD backup?
Sunday : cold backup
Monday : new archive log have been created since cold backup
Tuesday : same as Monday
Wednesday : I would like to restore to Monday 22:00 for example
Can I restore cold backup + apply archive log until Monday 22:00 ?
Regards,
Guillaume

recover database using backup controlfile until cancel|time|logseq|scn
will do this and prompt you for the archivelogs.

Restoring tigger from cold backup.

Hi
I have one problem..... recently i have drooped 1 trigger by mistake of one of my user in database. Now the problem is... we never take the logical backup of that DB.
Backup mechanism of the database is Cold Backup and size is *2TB*.
Now i have to restore that trigger from the cold backup with minimum effort , do i have to create the Clone database with the Cold backup using all the datafiles ...? or System tablespace ( or datafile) and default Schema tablespace(Schema which holds the trigger and its tables) in enough for restoring the trigger ?
I hope i am clear with my question. please let me know if you need more details.
Please suggest some best and fast way to solve this problem.
Thanks,

You need to restore enough to OPEN the DB can you please elaborate this clearly....
The version is :
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 ; Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production I have dropped in this Monday. Flashback is not implemented.

Test Restore Database Instance from Cold backup

Hi - I have a customer who is using an Oracle database instance not in archivelog mode
currently, I have managed to persuade them to backup at least weekly using an RMAN cold backup.
Prior to my being allowed to do anything else they want to perform a test restore from the cold backup
I want to find a simple procedure to do this which will enable me to tick the box then hopefully I may be able to persuade them that Hot Backups are the way to go.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for this please?

Ah if only things were quite so simple - my hands are tied somewhat there isn't a second machine available at the moment so I was hoping to be able to run a test restore to the same machine !
No they do not worry about data in this situation - Oracle is used almost as a query engine maybe a very odd solution as the actual data is not really held within this oracle database but the resultant queries are!
Anyway I think I will just do a virtual restore using the restore database validate command then armtwist a couple of managers!
One of the areas they had difficulty with is that apparently they had archivelogging on but the rate of writing archivelogs was huge and it was affecting performance. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how to tune that problem!!
