Expired Copy in RMAN

Hi,
DB is 9iR2
We needed to move some datafiles, and the RMAN method we use in 10g,
didn't work in 9i.
The script was:
copy datafile 285 to '/u08/oracle/oradata/blablabla.dbf';
switch datafile 285 to copy;
However, switch command RMAN 9i didn't like.. after fiddling with a
few other commands, ended up with just running renames in nomout.
After doing that all my files in /u08 are listed as expired copies in
RMAN. How do I let RMAN to use new datafiles?
Regards
Sandeep

Hi sandeep,
pls run crosscheck on rman and we can ise operating system copies
to rman catalog datafilecopy command
if you use catalog then
RMAN> catalog datafilecopy 'C:\Oracle\Oradata\User01.dbf';
hope this helps,
Zekeriya

How to copy/move RMAN catalog

how do I copy/move RMAN catalog from one DB to another ? Is it just copying the tablespace I created for the RMAN catalog ?

Exort the catalog (schema) and import in new database.

Can't update trial Expired copy of Lr

I let my trial copies of Lr and CC expire and then signed up for the Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud recognizes that I am a member but it won't update the "trial expired" copy. It also says that LR "uninstall unavailable". I tried deleting the app and re-installing but it still comes up "trial expired". How can I clear this so I can use these apps. The same thing happens with Photoshop cc. Frustrating start to this new membership.....

Image copies are exact block level copies of the datafiles and have the same size.

RMAN BACKUPSET and COPY

Hi,
in 10g R2
what is the difference between :
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COPY;And :
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;Thanks.

Dear friend, BACKUPSET is a repository where all the backedup datafiles,controlfiles,archivelog files and spfile are stored as one SET. Where are if you mention you use COPY then each file that has been copies will be kept in each separate file.
You can get better idea if you look below...

RMAN DELETE EXPIRED

Does anybody could explain difference between DELETE OBSOLETE command and DELETE EXPIRED
The way I uderstand DELETE OBSOLETE would delete physical backupsets and catalog records for them if it beyond retention policy. But what is DELETE EXPIRED does? Does it delete physical backupset files or only catalog records?

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmconc1007.htm#sthref279
To quote the propaganda:
The term obsolete does not mean the same as expired. A backup is obsolete when REPORT OBSOLETE or DELETE OBSOLETE determines, based on the user-defined retention policy, that it is not needed for recovery. A backup is considered expired only when RMAN performs a crosscheck and cannot find the file. In short, obsolete means "not needed," whereas expired means "not found."

11gR2 DB - RMAN retains backupsets outside the specified retention window

11.2.0.1.0 Enterprise Edition Database in Archivelog mode:
Here's the results of SHOW ALL:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 4 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default

CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/snapcf_hcoe.f'; # default
I run this RMAN job nightly:
$rman_script="run {allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk; recover copy of database with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0'; backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0' database;}
backup device type disk tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
delete noprompt expired backup;
delete noprompt expired copy;
Here's what my FRA looks like as of 2/20/2013:
/u05/app/oracle/recovery_area/HCOE/archivelog - 7 subdirectories dated 2013-02-14 through 2013-02-20, all empty
/u05/app/oracle/recovery_area/HCOE/autobackup - 7 subdirectories dated 2013-02-14 through 2013-02-20. The delete noprompt obsolete seems to be deleting these according to the recovery window setting of 4 days. The 2/14 subdirectory is empty, and the 2/15 directory has only 1 file in it. The rest have 2 files.
/u05/app/oracle/recovery_area/HCOE/backupset - 15 directories from 2013-02-06 through 2013-02-20. These are not being deleted, nor are they considered obsolete. The directories only go back until 02/06, because I manually deleted the directories and their contents before that, and did a CROSSCHECK ALL afterwards when the FRA ran out of space and the active redo could not be archived. This is what I'm confused about. Why are they not being deleted, and what do I need to do to get them to become obsolete?
/u05/app/oracle/recovery_area/HCOE/datafile - The location of the dbf image copies which are up to date as of 3:30am 2/20/2013
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Phil;
I believe this is why :
backup incremental level 1
Incremental backups are worthless unless you have the parent ( level 0 backup ). Because of this the window will always be larger than the 4 you have set.
Example
http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/rman/obsolete_backups.html
Why are they not being deleted, and what do I need to do to get them to become obsolete?
Do a level 0 more often.

RMAN delete noprompt obsolete

Hi,
I'm keen to know what does this comand mean in RMAN backup. "delete noprompt obsolete;" .Can I apply this comand for no catalog too or it's just meant for rman catalog.
Thanks
M.Kaur

Hi,
I'm trying to do house keeping on RMAN backups,following is my script,but this does not remove hte last year's backups on the tape,thou the tape is mounted to the lib.Must I add in another command? but yes the last year's backup is not even shown in the rman backup list,but it's still in the sbt_tape,how do I remove it from there.
Note: RMAN no catalog running on oracle 9i 9.2.0.7
allocate channel for delete type disk;
allocate channel for delete type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
report obsolete orphan;
report obsolete;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck copy;
crosscheck backup of controlfile;
delete noprompt expired backup;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired backup of controlfile;
delete force noprompt expired copy;
delete force noprompt obsolete orphan;
delete force noprompt obsolete;

Thanks

Cannot delete expired portal certificate

Hi
I'm having problems deleting an expired portal certificate in STRUST. I tried exporting it and then reimporting it but still I wasn't able to delete it. When I try to delete it, i always get a generic error. Any insights? Thanks.
Shery

Problem solved.
The rename operation of the copy of datafile was recorded in the controlfile, hence renamed also the recorded datafile copy in the rman repository.
The key was to simply use the RMAN switch command again.
RMAN> switch datafile '+DATA/orcl/datafile/example.269.730723991' to copy.
After that, deleting the copy in RMAN worked.
The RMAN switch command is obviously a 2-way toggle command, e.g.:
RMAN> backup as copy datafile 5;
input datafile file number=00005 name=+DATA/orcl/datafile/example.272.736664147
output file name=/u02/fra/ORCL/datafile/o1_mf_example_6hg6xo8p_.dbf
RMAN> switch datafile 5 to copy;
datafile 5 switched to datafile copy "/u02/fra/ORCL/datafile/o1_mf_example_6hg6xo8p_.dbf"
RMAN> switch datafile 5 to copy;
datafile 5 switched to datafile copy "+DATA/orcl/datafile/example.272.736664147"

Is this RMAN script ok?

Hi all, I'm now approching RMAN and I wrote this script for the backup of my database (9.2.04 on Win2k3):
report schema;
show all;
configure channel device type disk format 'e:/oracle/test/2_%d_%T_%u.bus';
configure maxsetsize to 12000 M;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'e:/oracle/test/filename_%F.bak';
backup database plus archivelog;
backup current controlfile;
DELETE ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME='SYSDATE-3';
I can see that there is a problem in this script but I don't know how to solve it. The problem is that I delete the archived logs even if the backup database command doesn't end with success. Is it possibile to modify this script so that it will remove the archived logs only if the backup process ends with success?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
your script have to be depended on your environment.
You should configure a channels for backup once and make only necessary changes in configuration thought the script.
This is example of real backup script of large system
-- reconfigure for 4 TAPES backup
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 4;
-- crosscheck for unavailable copy of archivelog and controlfile
crosscheck copy of archivelog all;
crosscheck copy of controlfile;
-- backup archive logs for minimize time of backup up database
backup
format='%d_%U'
FILESPERSET=5
archivelog
until time 'sysdate'
delete input;
-- not needed auto backup control file because we make full backup
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;
-- backup database
backup
INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0
database
format='%d_%U'
FILESPERSET=2
skip READONLY
skip offline
plus archivelog
delete input;
-- bold strings point your attention to remove archivelog after backup
-- PLZ Read documentation Recovery Manager Reference
-- restore configuration for every hours archivelog backup
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 2;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
-- delete expired backup from RMAN catalog
crosscheck backup completed before 'SYSDATE-24';
delete noprompt expired backup;
quit;
For disk backup last part have to be like
delete noprompt force backup completed before time 'SYSDATE-YOUR_TIME_WINDOW_RETENTION_POLICY'.

If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use?

Hello,
I have a database 11.1.0.7 with 8TB. Block change tracking is enabled.
At the weekend I take level 0 backup and during the week level 1 cumulative.
For some weeks the level 0 backup is failing, so I only have level 1 cumulative backups taken every week day with a 4 weeks old level 0 backup.
If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
I ask this because grid crontrol tells me that the recent level 1 backups input size is smaller than last week level 1 backups and in between I dont have any level 0 sucessfull backups. Shouldn't the input size of level 1 cumulative increase until the next level 0 backup ?
The grid reports:

Validating Backups Before Restoring Them
You can run RESTORE ... VALIDATE to test whether RMAN can restore a specific file or set of files from a backup. RMAN chooses which backups to use.
The database must be mounted or open for this command. You do not have to take datafiles offline when validating the restore of datafiles, because validation of backups of the datafiles only reads the backups and does not affect the production datafiles.
When validating files on disk or tape, RMAN reads all blocks in the backup piece or image copy. RMAN also validates offsite backups. The validation is identical to a real restore operation except that RMAN does not write output files.
You can monitor what RESTORE VALIDATE does.
Make precautions, so you do not damage the production DB!!!

RMAN DB retention policy

Hi,
Does following command ONLY helpful in level 1 incremental?
RMAN>CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS;
I want to configure to have 30 days backup must be available on tape.I also have policy anually to have tape backup and send to IRON MOUNT.
If I use following command
RMAN>CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 30;
is there any diffrence?
If CROSSCHECK BACKUP shows expired and updated repository.Can we use expired backup for recovery purpose?
Thanks

Hi Yasir!
If you have all archived log, and control file backups.
Then you must follow this steps
1. Restore Standby control file;
2. Copy archived logs to a folder (/tmp/arch) or FRA
3. RMAN>alter database mount;
RMAN> catalog start with '/tmp/arch'; (or FRA)
RMAN must be cataloged all archived logs;
4. Start redo apply process for apply archived log;
5. If All archived logs applied, then you can perform failover to standby database.
It means Standby database role will change to Primary.
Do you want this?

Removing RMAN backup files from RMAN prompt

DB version: 10.2.0.4
OS : AIX
Due to space constraints, we had to change our retention policy today. So, i need to remove some old backup files manually to free up some space. Should i remove the backup files from OS using rm command and then issue a
delete expired backup;from RMAN prompt?
Or is there another recommended way?

If you remove them manually from the O/S, then you'll have to perform a CROSSCHECK BACKUP prior to the DELETE EXPIRED.
Or once you change your retention policy you could issue DELETE OBSOLETE, which may be the safer way to ensure you don't accidentally remove wrong backup files.
