Duplicate Database From ASM to ASM

Hi Guys
I am running Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 with RAC on HP-UX using ASM. I have two nodes on cluster now I have a new cluster environment with three nodes using ASM as well.
I want to duplicate my databases from two nodes to three nodes using my backups. I am using rman backups.
How do I begin to do that?
Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Which, as far as I recall, wouldn't make any difference.
Your 'target' is the auxiliary database, which is pointed to by a tns service name.
Provided the backup is accessible on both servers (maybe by using NFS), duplicate database should like a charm.
But then I am already abstracting docs, which is evidently exactly what you want.

Error while duplicate database from one server to another server

Hi there,
I am practicing duplicate database from one single database server to another server. Hardware and driver path on 2 machines is the same. Here are my steps:
--------------------- Clone site:
1. modify listener.ora with content:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME= orcl)
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER = ON
2. stop and start listener again, message show like :
Service “orcl” has 1 instance(s).
Instance “orcl”, status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service…
The command completed successfully
3. create pfile from spfile.
4. shutdown and startup nomount with pfile is new pfile create from step 3.
--------------------------------------- Source site
1. modify tnsnames.ora with content like:
VVCOREDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = vvcoredb)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 10.254.1.235) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
2. run command from rman like these:
rman> connect target sys@vvcoredb
rman> target database Password:
rman> connect auxiliary sys@orcl
rman> auxiliary database Password:
rman> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE to orcl from active database spfile nofilenamecheck;
Then the result show below:

Rman clone duplicate database from active database

Hi All,
I read document saying that rman can duplicate database from active database (prod) to a remote server, so long as you configure listener and tnsname.
I am working toward it.
I met a problem, which is when i bring up auxiliary database in nomount mode, the listener service of that auxiliary database is in BLOCKED status, and throw out ora-12528 error when I rman auxiliary sys/pass@clonedb. Isn't nomount mode the mode which auxiliary db is supposed to be in?
(ora-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections)
Thanks,
milic

You may have run into the same problem like I did recently:
The (UR=A) clause in tnsnames.ora is intended to work with a dynamically registered handler so the use of SERVICE_NAME versus SID is preferred.
ORA-12528: TNS listener BLOCKED - trying to duplicate database
Also for further problems:
RMAN 11gR2 duplicate database ORA-17627 ORA-01017 RMAN-03009 ORA-17628

Duplicate database from active database in 11g?

Does anyone know if it's possible to clone a database from stby by issuing RMAN duplicate database FROM ACTIVE DATABASE command in 11g?
I know it's possible from primary to create stby.
Thanks in advance

Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

Hi
For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
You can give ma try as well.

Rman duplicate database from test to production different host

Dear All,
usually i do the rman duplicate (clone) database in different host using same backup location as the source database in target database.
now i am in situation to clone the database with different backup location
source database location:/u01/db/backup
target database location: /tmp_dbbkup
is it possible to create the duplicate database with the command
rman target sys@UAT1 auxiliary /
RMAN>CATALOG BACKUPPIECE '/tmp_dbbkup/UAT_2670198561_44_20110101;
RMAN>duplicate target database to DEV;
is it ok?
we dont have privilege/rights to create a folder/directory in production server.
what i have to do now?
thanks in advance.
my oracle version: 10.2.0.4.0
operating system: AIX

Failover Database - From ASM to Filesystem

Hi,
Based on this article : http://manchev.org/2012/01/building-a-failover-database-using-oracle-database-11g-standard-edition-and-file-watchers/
I would like to know if it would be possible to perform the same operation but in a case where my source database is using ASM and the failover one isnt.
I think this (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmasmmi.htm#i1014926) should apply , but I haven't got the time to test it myself just yet so I thought to try out here and maybe get some valuable information/feedback on it.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
N K

Yes that's correct.
The control file can be restored using the from/to clause. Generate a control file backup from the primary (which is on the FRA) and restore it:
restore controlfile from '/backup/controlfile.bkp' to '/u01/control_file_path.ctl';And the datafiles new location can be set during restore as you pointed out, with switch datafile all at the end:
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO NEW;
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO NEW;
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO NEW;
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO NEW;
restore database;
SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;"TO NEW" clause is if you plan on using OMF with the File System, through the db_create_file_dest. If the datafiles are to be spread out on different mount points you can name them individually, like:
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/path/to/datafile1.dbf';
SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;Also don't forget to clear (rebuild) your redo log files after restore, setting DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n appropriately.

Creating Standby Database from ASM Databse none ASM

I have ASM RAC database running on Solaris 10. I want to take a backup with RMAN and move the Backup to none ASM on other Stand alone server. I want to use this none ASM backup database to create Standby Database for Test purpose. Is it doable? If it is doable can you answer following questions?
What command should I use with RMAN to take a full backup and move it to none ASM platform?
Thank you

Well, the answer is most likely yes, but first need to confirm
- Do you want a physical or logical standby?
- Will the standby run on the same platform , i.e. also Solaris 10?
- What version of database ? It is much easier in 11g.

Failing by duplicate database from active database

Hallo,
i'm working with 11g on one server and want to duplicate a database in active mode.
what i do:
i create a new password-file using orapwd - orapwNEW
i create a new entry for ORANEW in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora
then i execute rman TARGET sys/xxx@old AUXILIARY sys/xxx@NEW
then rman> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO NEW FROM ACTIVE DATABASE SPFILE NOFILENAMECHECK;
then i've got the failure RMAN-06403, RMAN-04006, ORA-01034
whats the problem?
thanks in advance.

i think it is the problem that rman can't connect to the auxiliary db.
but what i must do?
in the documentation i found that:
The PASSWORD FILE option specifies that RMAN should copy the password file to the destination host. RMAN automatically copies the server parameter file to the destination host, starts the auxiliary instance with the server parameter file, copies all necessary database files and archived redo logs over the network to the destination host, and recovers the database. Finally, RMAN opens the database with the RESETLOGS option to create the online redo log.

Migrate entire database to ASM on another server via RMAN minimal downtime

Hi
I was looking for a procedure to migrate non ASM production databases to ASM via RMAN on a separate server with minimal downtime (backup as copy/switch database to copy technique). We have TDPO for tape backup and I normally rman clone test databases between servers but this involves too much downtime for production. The procedure in the ASM Admin Guide (Chapter 8) assumes the databases are on the same server.
Thanks
Tom Cullen

Tom CullenDear Tom. Why you think you'll have downtime in the production database? The database will be running while the clone will be processing. Check the following link:
