Please let know the setps for creating new databaseIf it is in archivelog mode you can use duplicate to refresh database DEMO from TEST..
or after cold backup, go to mount ,
create trace file of controlfile becuase you are chaning database name
recreate the controlfile
open database in resetlogs;

RMAN Restore using RMAN COLD Backup!!

Hi All,
I Need to restore a database using rman cold backup taken a month back.
Can i use Duplicate database option until time/scn just like we do for hotbackup or is there any other procedure for cloning/refreshing the database using RMAN COLD BACKUP of source.
Thanks & Regards,
Pdev

This may be used to clone db
connect target sys/sys@<dba>
connect catalog rman/rman@<dba>
connect auxiliary sys/sys<new>
run {
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\indx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\example01.dbf';
allocate auxiliary channel dupdb1 type disk;
set until sequence 2 thread 1;

Creating standby database using RMAN

When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
have to be accessible from host where standby database
is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
Thanks a lot for advice,
M.

OK, thanks,
I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
database instance is running on the host where I want
to create standby database. The running instance is for
testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
parameters as in primary database.
I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
database I can specify distinct one for standby database?

Hi Team
i need to copy cold database from one server to another server . and build an new rac database out of that cold backup .. i have done it for singel node instance . but do you know if i have to do something special for RAC instance .. or simply below mention steps are enough to build RAC database out of cold backup
oracle version is 10.2.0.1
1. install software and clusterware on new set of machine
2. copy cold backup on that set of machine
3.copy spfile and controlfile
4.open the database up with controlfile,spfile and dbf files
now i am not sure on one thing if i have to do something special for RAC DB or its like single instance.

'NEW' doesn't seem to be the right word here, but you can DUPLICATE (clone) an existing database or restore it to a new host:

Edited by: user9198889 on Jul 6, 2011 8:29 AMHave you restored from the recent backup?
validate the backup compeltion_time and then retry the operation, Are you restoring from tapes?yes its recent backup(last and only backup infact ) , the backup took couple of days to run..
the backup was executing using this command BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE TAG 'LEV1_BCKP_2011-06-27_11_54' PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT
there was no full backup so oracle must have taken full one and not incremental correct?
first logseq that was back's up is : 35818
primary uses local disk for its db and backup
standby that i am trying to create is on asm. i have copied backup to FRA and restored to +data its recovery that is failing now

DB migration from 9i to 10g (in a new server) using a cold backup

We have a cold backup of a 9.2.0.5 database,
we would like to migrate this 9i DB to a new server with only 10g software already installed.
1- can we use DBUA to do the migration?
2- should we start the database before running DBUA?
3- if yes then we need to prepare the pfile, and the password file?
we would like to avoid installing 9i in the new server
Thanks for help

I have to Install 10g on Solaris 10 on a new server and then move my old >database which is 9i on Solaris 9 to the new box. I'm not sure how to go about >doing all this right since I'm new in the dba field and this is production.How much down time you have to perform this activity?
How big is your database?
Since you're moving the database from one server to another, You have to proceed with Export/import or datapump export/import(only if you can upgrade your 9i database to 10g).

Creating RAC database thru RMAN hot backup

Hi Guys,
I am having ERP PROD database on 2 nodes 116 and 117(RAC) server. We have a scheduled RMAN HOT backup of this database
WE also have ASM implemented.
We have another 2 servers named 36 and 37(RAC and ASM) which has ERP Test Database and the thing is that we want to refresh this
test database using ERP PROD RMAN backup.
Can someone please post the proper steps to restore the RMAN backup to ERP Test database as ASM is alos there.
As it is little urgent for us.
help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Milan Rathod

1. take the backup of production database
rman connect target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog format '/u01/db/backup/%d_%I_%s_%T';
move the backup to test server (same location /u01/db/backup/ bcoz rman checks for backupset in the same location only)
add the below two lines in the test database-- initTEST.ora file
comment cluster_ parameters in initTEST.ora file
eg:-
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT = (+EBAOUATDATADG1/prod/,/u01/db/app/admin/test/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT = (+EBAOUATDATADG1/prod/,/u01/db/app/admin/test/)
check the connectivity between prod and test database.
from test
$tnsping PROD
from prod machine
$tnsping TEST
in test server
startup nomount
rman target sys@proddb auxiliary /
duplicate target database to test;
after completion of duplicate/clone step convert the single instance test to rac instance by uncomment the cluster_ parameters in initTEST.ora parameter
startup mount the second node in TEST
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE PUBLIC THREAD 2 ;
alter database open;
hope, this will helps you.
Good Luck

Creating standby database using data guard.

Current Env:
Oracle 11.2.0.1
ASM
Size 1.7T and growing.
I'm rebuilding a standby database and need to use rman because of a few factors. In the past, I did a file copy create a standby control file config init.ora and it always worked.
We have a database and had the stanby build; but someone issued a flashback and corrupted the standby database.
Because of the size 1.7T and growing and we are now using ASM.
My research is only showing building standby through rman using dupicate database command.
I would like to copy the cold backup to a external drive and ship it to the standby site where I'll do the restore. This is because of time and bandwith required to rebuild the standby will interfere with operaitions for the period the files are being copied.
So what would be the high level steps.
1) get the cold backup
2) create the standby control file
3) ship the data via corrier
4) restore the database
5) and this is where i'm not sure. recover the standby control file - but during the restore of the database the "normal" control file will open and perhaps do a checkpoint. therefore the standby controlfile will be usless.
6) recover the standby database.
Has anyone accomplished this?
As much specifics will be helpful. This system is operational and needs to be done right the first time.
thanks,
-Rob

Thank you.
1) I'm going to off load the cold backup to an external drive and have a courier take it to the DR site.
Why, we are replicating the SAN over to the DR site. When SAN replication backs up Oracle becomes non-responsive. Therefore; sending the data over the pipe is not an option for the standby rebuild. Yea' that's the easy way to do it. But this system is operational and critical to operations; so we will not risk saturating the pipe for any period of time. The pipe got saturated one time and it was not pretty.
2) I'm running the test in my lab to make sure I can create the standby database using the cold backup and rman.
3) In the past it was easy; I got a cold backup of the data files using the same ksh scripts that have been working for 20 years. Copy the files over to the standby site, and put it into managed recovery. This technique has been working fine sense Oracle 8i days. ASM through a huge monkey wrench in the ksh script backup and now I'm forced to use rman. Hey, I'm told it's an okay product but when it comes to backups I never get fancy; that just makes things more complicated. Okay I wont complain about asm anymore, i guess there is an advantage in there somewhere.

How to create new database from backup.

Hi !
i have backup of a database, i do not want to restore, i want to create new database from the backup.
i am using oracle 11g xe.
yours sincerely

If the Location of the datafiles is similar to that of source database then you can consider below steps
Create Oracle Service using oradim
set ORACLE_SID=NEWDB
oradim -new -sid NEWDB -intpwd passwordofthesys -startmode M
Connect to the RMAN
rman>rman target /
restore spfile/pfile and control file from backup
rman>restore spfile to pfile '_localtion of the initNEWDB.ora_' from '_location of the SPFILE Backuppiece_';
rman>startup nomount pfile='localtion of the initNEWDB.ora';
rman>restore controlfile from 'file location of the controlfile Backuppiece';
rman>alter database mount;
Catalog the RMAN backuppiece of source database
rman>catalog backuppiece '_location of the rman backuppiece of source database_ ';
resotore & recover database
rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
open the database with reset logs
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
rman>create spfile from pfile;
rman>shutdown immediate;
rman>startup;
==================
If you have access to source database then you can clone using below rman command:
+rman target _<source database>_ auxiliary _<new database>_+
rman>duplication target database to _<your new database name>_;
==========
If the location of the datafiles and logfiles are different from source database then you need to add db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert to the pfile before starting the recovery process.

Restore Database with Oracle 9i with a New Host using RMAN

Gurus,
I am trying to restore a database from some RMAN created files on a new host with a new directory structure for some testing. I do not have access to the source database.
The database is Oracle 9i.
The files that have been created are the following:
'C-2995630462-20110214-00' is the control file and SP file backup.
'B_ABM4KAJ5_1_1' is the database backup.
B_ACM4KARS_1_1 and B_AAM4KAIV_1_1 are archived redo logs

I am new to using RMAN and I'm hoping someone could point me in a direction of some documentation to assist with the scenario described above. I've looked at several Oracle documents but have been unable to find a way to separate out the spfile from the control file.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
