Create a new Standby db from a backup taken in an existing standby.

Existing 2 sites: PROD (primary)), Local-standby.
Planning to add a 3rd site: Remote-standby
How do you use a full backup taken in the Local-standby (not the primary) to create the Remote-standby?
Any pointers will be appreciated...essentially creating a standby from a standby.
It may be of interest to note that running the "BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY" in the Local-standby will error out with:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on dupdb_ch1 channel at 11/30/2012 19:49:44
ORA-01671: control file is a backup, cannot make a standby control file
Thanks

For folks who may stumble on this thread.
2 hosts - 1 - primary, 2 - local stby
3rd host was being added in the mix.
So, we want to build standby number 3 - DR stby
Aim was to create the DR stby from a backup taken from local stby, W/O affecting primary.
Create backup pieces from local stby (to be made available in DR stby) using "backup device type disk format '/u01/backups' database plus archivelog;"
As mseberg pointed out, take a "backup current controlfile for standby" from primary & make it available in DR stby
startup nomount the DR stby
restore controlfile in DR from step2
catalog the backup taken in step 1
Run the duplicate command from DR as usual, connecting to the primary as target and the DR as auxiliary
Enjoy

  • Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

    hi,
    i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

    I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune.  I have used both and they both work well.
    You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition.  I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want.  You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition.  It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive.  When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you.  Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
    Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla.  Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out.  CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider.  I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

  • Help with creating a new XML file from an existing DOM tree!!

    i want to create a new XML file from an existing DOM tree
    i used this code to create a new document:
    static public Document createDocument(String fileName) throws ParserConfigurationException//,IOException,SAXException
              try {
                   DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
                   factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
                   factory.setValidating(true);
                   DocumentBuilder builder =factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   return builder.newDocument();
    //          handle exception creating DocumentBuilder
              catch ( ParserConfigurationException parserError ) {
                        throw new ParserConfigurationException();
              }then i used this code to transform the DOM :
    public void exportDocument(Document document) {
              try {
                   Source xmlSource = new DOMSource( document );
                   Result result = new StreamResult( System.out );
                   TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
                        TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                   Transformer transformer =transformerFactory.newTransformer();
                   transformer.setOutputProperty( "indent", "yes" );
                   transformer.transform( xmlSource, result );
           //then catching the exceptions
    But the file was not created and i didn't find where can i specify the DTD that the XML file should use and where can i enter the name of the XML file itself
    Another questoin can i write a DTD file dynamically during the execution of the program??

  • Create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client

    Hi,
    How can we create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client?
    i am using the oracle 11gR2
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sreekanth Polaka

    Though I have not tried creating a database, try if its doable.
    You can use OCI to perform SYSDBA operations.
    So connect as OCI_SYSDBA and try executing the entire create database command.

  • Unable to create a new dispute case from UDM_DISPUTE

    Hello All,
    When I try to create a new dispute case from UDM_DISPUTE, I get the following error.
    Duplication in attribute display: Attribute
    FIN_RFC_CREATOR already used
    Can any one tell me what is the reason for the above error and how I can create a new test case using UDM_DISPUTE.
    Thanks
    Venkat

    Check your attribute configuration in FSCM - Dispute Mgmt - Dispute Case Processing - Attribute Profile - Create Attribute Profile.  Select the attribute profile that is assigned to your Case Type and select Assign Attributes.  Look to see if the attribute FIN_RFC_CREATOR is listed twice.

  • HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

    I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
    I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
    Frustrated!!!

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
    Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

    I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

    Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up.  I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
    Any ideas how I can do this?

  • Restoring new iPhone 4S from iCloud backup has created an app sync nightmare with iTunes

    I've restored my new iPhone 4S from iCloud and plugged it into my computer to sync over the apps so they wouldnt have to redownload via iCloud. Hit the initial ok dialogue button, which had an auto-sync apps option checkmarked under it (this was the only dialogue option and only checkmark). Now iTunes wants to reload all apps and erase app data.
    The phone is peforming as expected, downloading the apps one-by-one from iCloud, however, I won't be able to sync the phone, as leaving apps sync checked will rewrite all apps (erasing app data and adding apps I don't want on my phone), and unchecking apps sync will delete all apps from the phone. I've tried removing the ~/Library/iTunes/ folder, hoping it would force iTunes to re-initialize the sync config. This didn't help at all.
    Any suggestions? I really don't want to re-restore from iCloud, but thinking I'm gonna have to and hope that not checking the auto-sync apps (when the phone is plugged in for the first time) will fix the issue. It's rather mindnumbing that there doesn't appear to be a less painful option for the simple task of setting up a new device from an old device iCloud backup. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is hard to follow.

    Ok, so this is pretty infuriating. I've gone ahead and restored from iCloud again. This time when I plugged my phone into iTunes for the first time, I unchecked the option to automatically sync apps. As expected, the Apps are not set to sync now, however, the computer does not display the apps loading on the phone, so if I did go ahead and turn on App sync, I would end up losing all app data. It appears that I will have to let all apps redownload from iCloud before I can do anything regarding syncing with iTunes. I can't believe this is the only option. I suppose I could turn off iCloud backup on my iPhone 4, allow it to create a local backup, then local restore onto iPhone 4S, then turn on iCloud backup. That seems a little too band-aidish to me, though.

    Edit: Yes, I have 10.7.2 and all available system updates as of today (10/14/11).

  • Hard Drive crash, creating a new iTunes Library from my iPhone

    Hi,
    My hard drive crashed with my iPhone back up and all my pictures, music etc. I have no back up.
    I need now to make sure my iPhone is backed up and get my photo's off the phone. So I have created a new iTunes and iPhoto file and copied the pictures across. But when going through the options for my iPhone in iTunes, I am fearful of wiping the information on my phone. It does not appear I can pull the information from my iPhone to my iTunes account, instead my phone will be wiped and the non existant music on my iTunes account wil replace my collection...
    I understand the need to protect against priracy, but come on, the phone has the same serial number!!
    How to I get around this and create a back up without deleting stuff?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am about to do this (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2584477?start=15&tstart=0), but having lost all my photo's on my old hard drive, I am afraid I will lose them on my iPhone!
    Can someone tell me if the 'Library' photo's where kept as well as the 'Camera Roll' photo's?
    I cannot figure out if the photo's from the 'Library' (on the phone) have been included in the back-up.
    Thanks

  • How do I create a new Aperture library from pictures I moved from IMAC?

    I moved my Photos to External Hard drive from MAC . Can I create new aperture library in EHD?

    As I wrote as long as both programs are latest versions they share the same library structure and can open each others libraries.
    Open Aperture and then select File->Switch to Library. If the iPhoto library shows up in the list select it. If it does not select Other/New… If the iphoto library shows up in this list select it if not select Other Library and find, select and open the iPhoto library.
    At this point there are a few things you can do depending on your situation. You can just leave the library as is if you do most of your work in iPhoto. Or you can turn the this library into an Aperture library.
    To make it an Aperture library open Aperture and create a new empty library as you did before. Now go to File->Import->Library and select the iPhoto library. The iPhoto library will be imported and converted to an Aperture library.
    While all of thsi is safe you the iPhoto library it is alwasy a good idea to have a bakup of the library before starting just in case.

  • How do I create a new boot disk from an existing one?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver with internal PATA disk, running 10.4. I want to upgrade the internal disk from 40 GB to 160 GB. I have installed a second disk and can see it fine, but what I really want is to put the system on the new disk and have it be the one and only boot disk in the system. Is there a straightforward way to do this? Is a carbon copy cloner the way to go? Will that have problems with the different disk sizes? Will it handle bad blocks properly? Isn't there a way to just use drag-and-drop?
    Once I have made a copy, how do I make it the boot disk? Do I have to swap it into the PATA "master" position to do this?

    Cloning And Backup Tools
    A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
    To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

    NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
    You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..
