Create database using datafiles from cold backup

hi,
I've been given a bunch of datafiles from a cold backup.
I have created my own database using the same DB_NAME as the original.
I now want to be able to attach these datafiles to my database. How do I go about? Do I need to start the database in mount mode so that the control file is open, then start adding these datafiles to the tablespace, and then open the database?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.Hi,That is not possible.You actually have two different databases,however db_name is same but every db_name are same databases is not same.These has own DBID in same environment.(Their controlfile and datafile information exactly is different).There is similar way is transportable tablespace feature.You can use this feature to transport tablespace between databases.For more information see below link.

How to Create new database from cold backup files.

Dear Experts,
I have an oracle 10g databae on windows 2003 server.
The database is in Archive log mode and backup strategy is Taking cold backup ever night.
Backup steps:
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location.
Startup.
I have taken a backup at Tuesdaay 1AM and I have archive logs also.
On Wednesday, I want to Create a new database on another server with the available cold backup files and archive logs. I want to recover the database upto 4PM Wednesday. How can I do this.
I am not using control file auto backup or control file backup to trace.
Please help me how can I do this. I am new to oracle database Administration.
--Thanks

The steps :
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location -- you mean the alternate location for the new databaseare correct (except that I would say "alternate location for the new database").
If you do not have controlfile backups, you cannot either OPEN the database or RECOVER the database until and unless you CREATE the Controlfiles. You have to generate a CREATE CONTROLFILE script using a BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE from the Production serer and create the controlfile on the new server.
BEFORE the Startup, I would use
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;The "using backup controlfile" tells Oracle to continue attempting Recovery -- ie doing a RollForward -- till the last archivelog made available to it.
For the Recover command, you then keep applying the ArchiveLogs from the Tuesday 1am ColdBackup upto Wednesday 4pm.
Once you have applied the last ArchiveLog, you do an
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;Here are my notes of doing a RollForward "Recovery" from a Cold Backup :
http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2007/05/rollforward-from-cold-backup.html
If you are attempting all these steps on a different server from your current Production database, you should be safe.
Once you OPEN the database, you can use CREATE CONTROLFILE or the NID utility to rename the database.
If you are attempting to create the new database on the same server there are many other precautions you have to take and unless you have experience with cloning databases, I would advice you against doing so (only the RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE command has a safer method of cloning a database).

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

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!!

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?

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;

How to do media recovery from cold backup?????????/

Hi
i take cold backup of my 9i database ....
in case my database is up .....
how will i recover my database if i lose a single database file and i want to recover it from cold backup......
Thanks in advance
Gagan

Here you go
These are the steps:
1. Restore the lost file from a backup.
2. If the database is down, mount it.
SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=<location_of_pfile>;
3. Issue the following query:
SVRMGR> SELECT V1.GROUP#, MEMBER, SEQUENCE#,
FIRST_CHANGE#
FROM V$LOG V1, V$LOGFILE V2
WHERE V1.GROUP# = V2.GROUP# ;
This will list all your online redolog files and their respective
sequence and first change numbers.
4. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, issue the query:
SVRMGR> SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE;
If the CHANGE# is GREATER than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs,
the datafile can be recovered. Just keep in mind that all the logs to
applied will be online logs, and move on to step 5.
If the CHANGE# is LESS than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs, the
file cannot be recovered. Your options at this point would be to restore
the most recent full backup (and thus lose all changes to the database
since) or recreate the tablespace as explained in scenario a.
5. Recover the datafile:
SVRMGR> RECOVER DATAFILE '<full_path_file_name>'
6. Confirm each of the logs that you are prompted for until you receive the
message "Media recovery complete". If you are prompted for a non-existing
archived log, Oracle probably needs one or more of the online logs to
proceed with the recovery. Compare the sequence number referenced in the
ORA-280 message with the sequence numbers of your online logs. Then enter
the full path name of one of the members of the redo group whose sequence
number matches the one you are being asked for. Keep entering online logs
as requested until you receive the message "Media recovery complete"
7. If the database is at mount point, open it.

RMAN Restore from cold backup ?

Hi ,
I am trying to restore the database from production db using the RMAN cold Backup. Both the prod and test(Restore database) are on the same machine. And also I wanted to have the restore db name should be different.
And the restore db name should be different. What are the options I have ?

9.0.1 create database using dbca fails

Solaris 8, 64-bit SPARC, 528mb RAM, 2 SCSI 9gig. Development box with no other users/processes running except Sendmail.
Installed Oracle 9.0.1 on machine from CDs with no problems, Attempting to create database using Database Configuration Assistant.
Creating 'general purpose' database using dbca with generally default parameters. Progress bar gets to 50% done, "creating & starting instance" is checked in progress window.
CPU utilization goes to 100% and nothing happens for hours. Eventually have to cancel dbca. No control files or init.ora created, (pfile directory is empty) there are a bunch of oracle processes left running which have to be killed.
I've tried this several times, moved stuff to different drives and/or filesystems, no luck. Have 5 gig available on /u01 where the database should install, and 8 gig available on /u02 where the .dbf's go.
If I had any hair left, I'd pull it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am getting this same problem: The DBCA gets to the point where it is installing the database and starting the instance (it says 51% of the way through), and then it just sits there doing nothing. I noticed when I installed Oracle (9.2.0) when it got to the point of the configuration assistants, there was mention of a listener not being able to start and the installer assuming it was already started (the listener that is). When the DBCA started right after, it stalled out at 51%.
I aleady had the Sun JDK installed, but am assuming this is not the issue since the install got that far. Can someone please advise a course of action so that I can trouble shoot this? I am very very new to this side of Oracle. Any assistance is greatly appreciated and will be passed along to others in turn.
Thanks,
BillR

RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database as read from the backup set

Hello Experts-
I am facing a very bizarre situations here, I was trying to restore a database from server 1 to server 2, first I take backup manually and then copy the backup to the server 2 location and restore it easily, I do this all the time but now I am getting this
error:"RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database <database>as read from the backup set</database>". So I tried to verify the backup with restore verify only and I get the message the data is invalid. Here is the bizarre part,
I tried to restore the same database from the backup taken by my backup job automatically and it worked and I restore verify the data and it is valid. So, anytime I took a manual backup and try to restore it I get an error, but I can restore the backup from
my backup job, please advise and share your experience , thank you.

it is a dynamic query that runs and take backup of all the dbs except the one we don't want, and the version is sql server 2012 sp1 on server. Part of the backup query

@name+'_'
+ @fileDate

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;
6> allocate channel c4 type disk;

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:

Recover database from cold backup and add ol archivelogs....

Hello!
Scenarion : I have create in 1 january cold backup of my database. I have from 1 to 4 January all archive logs generated by my database. My database gone in 4 January.
Solution question : How can i restore database using cold backup a than add info from archivelogs to recovered database to do database consist from disaster day.
Regards... Marcin

1. Kill current instance with SHUTDOWN ABORT.
2. Copy all control files and data files from your cold backup to original destination.
3. Make sure all archived redo logs from 01-JAN to 04-JAN are available in the database archive destination (LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_x).
4. Run as SYSDBA:
startup mount
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;When prompted for something like
ORA-00279: change 864868 generated at 01/14/2010 09:30:10 needed for thread 1

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
Nirav

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