EM and RMAN repository...

I need some more clarification on something.
I know Enterprise Edition allows setup of Enterprise Manager repository and RMAN repository. Can those be setup on a different box then the one where the main database is? I ask this because I want to have some redundancy by not using the same box for monitoring and backups.

Hello,
YOu can setup grid control and monitor not only one but several database server from it. On db server you just have install agent to talk to grid control and you will be in business.

  • Rman repository and target

    Hi,
    my RMAN repository is in 10g R2, and target is in 8.1.7.4. I want to know when I backup by RMAN what would be the RMAN version executing the job ? RMAN 8.1.7 or RMAN 10g ? Thanks and regards.

    Yo would be using the RMAN executable in the target ORACLE_HOME (ie, RMAN would be 'local' to the database).

  • RMAN repository maintenace and the availability

    I have 10 production and 10 test databases in 2 servers(Test and Production). RMAN Backups have setup and add all the 20 databses in to a repository in one of the Test server database called CODP.
    So my question is as all the databases added to CODP db repository and codp database also add in to the same database repository it self. If CODP database corrupted all the data in the repository will be lost and no way to recover unless there is a another backup or setup.
    So my question is what would be the best approach to handle this situation?? Appriciate any comments or advices.

    Hello,
    Consider RMAN repository database as one of the production database and you should have a proper backup strategy for your RMAN repository database so that in case any problem happens, you immediately restore the RMAN repository. Put your RMAN repository in archivelog mode and take backups regularly and if appropriate, you can setup replication of RMAN repository schema in another remote database.

  • Where to backup RMAN repository?

    Oracle recommendation is to backup databases with RMAN using RMAN Repository Database. But how about RMAN Repository? Should it become client of the same repository(itself)? Right now I am using RMAN to backup repository database into control file.
    Not sure that's right thing to do though ... I need some guidance from experienced dba's.

    Hi,
    Include the recovery catalog in your backup and recovery strategy. If you do not back up your recover catalog and a disk crash occurs, you may lose some or all of your data.
    Make Logical Backups
    Make Regular Backups
    Back up the recovery catalog with the same frequency that you back up your target database. For example, if you make a weekly whole database backup of your target database, then back up your recovery catalog immediately after each target database backup. The backed up catalog will have a record of the target backup preceding it, so if you are forced to restore the catalog you will also be able to use it to restore the target database backup

  • RMAN repository clean up

    Hi,
    I am having 10g db and backup policy uses RMAN.
    Daily backup is taken by RMAN and my retention policy is default.
    Now my total catalog db size is 12 GB,
    but i want to remove entries before 1 months from repository because all the archives are already taken in backup and also applied to stand by db.
    Is there any method to clean up RMAN repository ?
    Thanks in advance

    Viral,
    This is what I do to reconcile the contents of the recovery catalog with the backup files on disk. Check out Oracle's documentation on RMAN commands before executing these commands.

  • Creating RMAN Repository for 2 production databases

    I have 2 production databases DB1& DB2 .
    I want to create a recovery catalogue database which will be used for storing the RMAN repository of Database DB1 and DB2 .
    What steps do i take to do the same.Can anyone guide me.

    Hi :
    Please refer the following URL:
    It is good to create the catalog DB in a different Server other than the DB's.
    Here is a good pointer.

  • Master and work Repository

    Hi,
    Can we create Master and work repository in one oracle schema.
    And can we create work2 respository in oracle schema2.
    Do we find any issues later.
    Please advice

    As far as I know it is not recommended solution to create both master and work repositories in one Oracle schema, better create them as separate schemas.

  • Report node and reports repository

    what is the difference between report node and reports repository. I know that Process schedular picks the report from report repository in order to show in process monitor. Does report node and reports repository are same??

    After a report runs to success in runstatusYeah, but the files are send to the report repository even if it is not successful terminated (run status is not sucess). If the files are not sent to the report repository, then the problem doesn't come from the process itself, but from the definition, space availibity...
    When a report has been posted sucessfully (transfered from the process scheduler report repository - on the other hands the log_output dir, to the report repository defined into the report node), the status of the distribution status is Posted.
    The run status and distribution status are independant eachother.

  • Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

    We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
    I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
    Thanks.

    If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
    this is only a sample of how to do it
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
    --first we allocate the channel default channel.
    RMAN>RUN
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    BACKUP DATABASE;
    SHUTDOWN
    }then once you have it, you can do what you want.
    It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

  • Block corruption problem in alert and rman/dbv no show errors

    Hello, I'm new in Oracle's world. I have one problem with Oracle 10.2.0.4 (RHEL 5.6) x64. Archive redo-log enable

    Yesterday, we detected this error because SQL don't execute.
    The error repeat 47times and there is 6 different file-block combination (4 index of schemas, 1 of sys and ¡2 tables!)
    First, I launched expdp and exp of the one problematic schema. The export was fine, no errors while exporting, but in the alert.log show one block corruption. Should exp and expd show error and stop?
    Next, I used dbv and verify all dbfs. Only show 2 blocks error in two datafiles (indexes).
    Next, I used RMAN:
    A) check database: no error.
    B) validate database: error in two blocks (logical error) and different from the 6 in alert.log. This two blocks are indexes.
    I re-create this two indexes. When i re-create, the block error disappear (not inmediate, suppose that disappear when block was rewrite). Now dbv and rman show no error.
    I have read one note about types of error, other about procedures if db is in archivelog/noarchivelog. Also if object is index or table. But I find anything about auto-repair corrupt blocks in Oracle or why now the 6 block error are solved. I don't know if two tables with two block corrupt lost rows or not.
    Appreciate any help.
    Regards

    Hello Fran. Result of query before rebuild problematic INDEXES:
    SQL> select * from V$database_block_corruption;

    9 48632 1 390325900 LOGICAL
    When I ran RMAN first time to check blocks, it filled V$database_block_corruption with two bad blocks. Different from the 6 errors from alert.:
    RMAN> backup validate check logical database;
    Error backing up file 9, block 48632: logical corruption
    Error backing up file 3, block 98857: logical corruption
    I extracted index name from each block and I re-created it. Also, I created a temporary table in tablespace's datafile to fill blocks empty. Problem solved. Rman / dbv show no error.
    I'm searching for similar experiences and found: Re: Data in bad block
    First 6 bad checksum errors in alert.log disappear with any visible problem?
    Can I sure that DB is fine if RMAN and DBV show no errors?
    Thank you very much

  • Changing CMS and Audit Repository databases from Oracle to SQl server 2008

    Hi guys,
      We have a Business Objects Dev environment which was installed with Oracle 10g database for CMS and Audit Repository.
    Our database team now decided to change the CMS and Audit databases of Dev BOE from Oracle to  SQL server 2008.
    What is the ideal way to achieve this? I'm concerned because the old DB is Oracle and the new one would be SQL server.
    Earlier, I have changed CMS database from one to another by stopping SIA , taking the backup of old DB into new and changing it in the Update Databse option. But in that case both old and new CMS databses were on SQL server 2005.
    Thanks,
    Ganga

    Denise,
      Thanks for the solution.
    We have done Windows AD and SAP integration on the Dev BOE. Will there be any issue with those after the DB change. I am guessing there won't be, but just want to confirm. Please reply.
      Also, we need to stop the old SIA and start using the new SIA after the step two is done right?

  • Oracle Backup End to End Automation with BRBACKUP and RMAN

    Hi,
    We are about to implement a Oracle on mySAP 2004 or 2004 i.e. either NW2004 or NW2004s. Currently we are on DB2 UDB.
    We are going to use legato for backup.
    legato networker module (I guess this is module built for BACKINT)  for SAP is too costly, so we are looking at alternatives for backup using legato without using networker module.
    We have virtual tape library (disk that emulates as tape library). we plan to keep 30 days/versions of backup there.
    Can we use BRBACKUP and RMAN to achieve end to end backup automation without using networker module by using the BRBACKUP delivered options and integrating to RMAN.
    I do see BRBACKUP options like tape_box and pipe_box. Are these will be useful to achieve this.
    Other question is do we really need to integrate with RMAN. What are the advantages.
    So far I see the advantages with RMAN are 1. incremental backups. 2. Online backups are handled more consistently than normal.
    Appreciate your information.
    Thank you,
    Ravi Gandavarapu.

    Hi Jason,
    Yes, we have SAN storage. Also thinking to use split-mirror for production.
    Do this need legato networker module. Or we can put a script without out the module also?
    >>There is one little complexity to this but if you're interested I'll explain it. <<
    Would you please explain what it is ?
    Again for my dev and qa systems we are not planning split-mirror.
    My plan is to back them up straight to VTL (disk based). Do you think using RMAN here helps (because of incremental) ?
    I was recently going through 10g features. Looks like 10g has a feature that you can merge incremental with level0. Does brbackup supports this?
    Appreciate your info.
    Ravi Gandavarapu.

    make sure you have selected right option under 'select component'.
    If you want only OIM.
    click on (+) sign of Identity Management and then tick the Oracle Identity Manager option.
