How to check RMAN backup report or log

Hi Guys,
I have RMAN schduled to backup my database daily.
Please what are the steps to check the report of the backup to see what was actually backed up and if it backup up ok
Thanks

Use "LIST BACKUP" to display information about backup sets, proxy copies, and image copies. With LIST command you can list the following:
- Backups and copies that do not have the status AVAILABLE in the RMAN repository
- Backups and copies of datafiles that are available and can possibly be used in a restore operation
- Specified archived logs, backup sets, backup pieces, control file copies, datafile copies, and proxy copies
- Backups and copies restricted by tag, completion time, recoverability, or device
- Incarnations of a specified database or of all databases known to the repository
- Stored scripts in the recovery catalog
Examples on how to use LIST command are listed below:
RMAN> LIST BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST EXPIRED BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP SUMMARY;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP BY FILE;
RMAN> LIST ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATAFILE 1, 2, 3;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 1437;
RMAN> LIST BACKUPSET OF DATAFILE 1;You can use the VALIDATE keyword of the BACKUP command to do the following:
- Check datafiles for physical and logical corruption
- Confirm that all database files exist and are in the correct locations
For example, you can validate that all database files and archived redo logs can be backed up by running a command as follows:
RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;I suggest you read Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Manuals:

How to control RMAN backup of archive logs in FRA

Setup:
11.2.0.2 GI
ASM Diskgroup for Fast Recovery Area
10.2.0.4 Enterprise Database
Without Catalog Database
To get familiar with Flashback Database we set up RMAN Backups
without deleting the archive logs,
as published in Oracle10g / 11g - Getting Started with Recovery Manager (RMAN) (Doc ID 360416.1)
"These deletions are managed by Oracle when space is required."
We observed that RMAN takes backups of all archive logs every time,
here we go with backing up archive logs every 30 minutes.
So the question is:
Is this (backing up all archive logs every time) the expected behavior or
the result of not using a catalog database or
any other mismatch?
thanx for any hint
Michael

Hi Michael,
In Note 360416.1 it refers to two archivelog backup commands.
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL;and
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG FROM TIME 'SYSDATE-30' UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7';Your question:
Is this (backing up all archive logs every time) the expected behavior or the result of not using a catalog database or any other mismatch?If you used the first script you will backup alle archivelogs everytime.
If you use the second one it will do a subset (probably not the range you want to backup...)
You could implement another script
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG NOT BACKED UP 2 TIMES;So every archivelog is only backed up twice.
Check

RMAN backup in noarchived log mode

Hi,
can we take RMAN backup in noarchived log mode?
If yes, how? just run backup database command or ?
thanks

You can use RMAN to backup a database in noarchivelog mode but you need to shutdown and mount the database. e.g.:
rman target /
RMAN> shutdown immediate
RMAN> startup mount
RMAN> backup database

How to check particular error in alert log file

Hi all,
How to check particular error in alert log file,for supose if i get error in batabase yesterday 4 pm & today i want to check alert log file to get basic idea..it might be a big file so how to check that particular error..
Thanks & regards,
Eswar..

What's your oracle version?
If you are in 11g you can use adrci tool
1- set homes diag/rdbms/orawiss/ORAWISS/ : the rdbms home
2- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%'" -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file
3- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-51 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last 51 days,
4- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last hour,
5- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-12012%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find the particular ORA-12012 error in the alert file during the last hour,

Thanks,

By doing the obvious and consulting the online documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com
You will notice the list backup command output has a level column and this is also present in rc_backupset and/or rc_backuppiece.

RMAN BACKUPS AND ARCHIVED LOG ISSUES

제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2004-02-17
RMAN BACKUPS AND ARCHIVED LOG ISSUES
=====================================
Scenario #1:
1)RMAN이 모든 archived log들을 삭제할 때 실패하는 경우.
database는 두 개의 archive destination에 archive file을 생성한다.
다음과 같은 스크립트를 수행하여 백업후에 archived redo logfile을 삭제한다.
run {
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape';
backup database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
Archived redo logfile 삭제 유무를 확인하기 위해 CROSSCHECK 수행시 다음과
같은 메시지가 발생함.
RMAN> change archivelog all crosscheck;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: change
RMAN-06158: validation succeeded for archived log
RMAN-08514: archivelog filename=
/oracle/arch/dest2/arcr_1_964.arc recid=19 stamp=368726072
2) 원인분석
이 문제는 에러가 아니다. RMAN은 여러 개의 arhive directory중 하나의
directoy안에 있는 archived file들만 삭제한다. 그래서 나머지 directory안의
archived log file들은 삭제되지 않고 남게 되는 것이다.
3) 해결책
RMAN이 강제로 모든 directory안의 archived log file들을 삭제하게 하기 위해서는
여러 개의 채널을 할당하여 각 채널이 각 archive destination안의 archived file을
백업하고 삭제하도록 해야 한다.
이것은 아래와 같이 구현될 수 있다.
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape';
allocate channel t2 type 'sbt_tape';
backup
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest1/%' channel t1 delete input
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest2/%' channel t2 delete input;
Scenario #2:
1)RMAN이 archived log를 찾을 수 없어 백업이 실패하는 경우.
이 시나리오에서 database를 incremental backup한다고 가정한다.
이 경우 RMAN은 recover시 archived redo log대신에 incremental backup을 사용할
수 있기 때문에 백업 후 모든 archived redo log를 삭제하기 위해 OS utility를 사용한다.
그러나 다음 번 backup시 다음과 같은 Error를 만나게 된다.
RMAN-6089: archive log NAME not found or out of sync with catalog
2) 원인분석
이 문제는 OS 명령을 사용하여 archived log를 삭제하였을 경우 발생한다. 이때 RMAN은
archived log가 삭제되었다는 것을 알지 못한다. RMAN-6089는 RMAN이 OS 명령에 의해
삭제된 archived log가 여전히 존재하다고 생각하고 백업하려고 시도하였을 때 발생하게 된다.
3) 해결책
가장 쉬운 해결책은 archived log를 백업할 때 DELETE INPUT option을 사용하는 것이다.
예를 들면
run {
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape';
backup archivelog all delete input;
두 번째로 가장 쉬운 해결책은 OS utility를 사용하여 archived log를 삭제한 후에
다음과 같은 명령어를 RMAN prompt상에서 수행하는 것이다.
RMAN>allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
RMAN>change archivelog all crosscheck;
Oracle 8.0:
RMAN> change archivelog '/disk/path/archivelog_name' validate;
Oracle 8i:
RMAN> change archivelog all crosscheck ;
Oracle 9i:
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all ;
catalog의 COMPATIBLE 파라미터가 8.1.5이하로 설정되어 있으면 RMAN은 찾을 수 없는
모든 archived log의 status를 "DELETED" 로 셋팅한다. 만약에 COMPATIBLE이 8.1.6이상으로
설정되어 있으면 RMAN은 Repository에서 record를 삭제한다.

Very strange, I issue following command in RMAN on both primary and standby machine, but it they don't delete the 1_55_758646076.dbf, I find in v$archived_log, this "/home/oracle/app/oracle/dataguard/1_55_758646076.dbf" had already been applied.
RMAN> connect target /
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

How to verify RMAN backup ?

How to verify and validate the RMAN backups on daily basis?One more doubt at this point - if we can't locate any RMAN script in crontab(crontab -l) but still backup is occuring regularly, how can we see the script behind this?
Thanks in advance.

What you want see? If backup was executed without error or make sure that there is a valid backup on tape or disk.
So, If you want see if backup was executed successfull you must find the logs of backup or query "V$RMAN_OUTPUT" (check it on documentation).
If you want check if Database is Valid on Disk or TAPE as mentioned previously "RESTORE VALIDATE DATABASE" (check it on documentation).
Where we can locate RMAN SCRIPT? It's hard to answer.
It' your env, you should find out. The options are: Crontab / Oracle Enteprise Manager / Third-Party Backup Software / Job Scheduler.
Also you can try : Take a time of backup was executed and check on shell a time of exection of backup " ps -ef |grep rman" you will find from where script was started.

RMAN backup of archive logs

I am sort of new to RMAN, I've been playing with it for a while but that's about as far as I've taken it. My question is does RMAN automatically backup any archive logs needed for recovery when I run "backup database" command or do I have to issue "backup database plus archive log" in order to insure recovery.

Backup database also backups archivelogs.No,it does not. From documentation:
backup database;
Creates a backup set (AS BACKUPSET) or group of image copies (AS COPY) for all datafiles in the database. If generating a backup set, then RMAN can include only datafiles and control files: it cannot include archived redo logs.

How to move rman backups on tap from disk

Hi,
I have rman backup files on the disk, now how we can move these files to tap. is there any rman command or is there any script to move.
Thank you!

Do you use FRA (Flash recovery area)?
If you use FRA then configure RMAN to take backup to tape. And backup fra to tape.
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE ‘SBT_TAPE’;
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
If you don't use FRA then you can backup your backupsets which are on the disk to tape.
RMAN> BACKUP DEVICE TYPE SBT BACKUPSET ALL;

How to distribute RMAN backup among tape volumes in OSB

Hi Guys,
I would like to ask some information about OSB. I have finally set up our Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3.0 and initial OSB backup to tape is good using our test environment.
Now, our production servers has the following details:
Serv01
- Oracle Database 11.1.0.7
- Windows Server 2003 R2
- Current RMAN backup to disk full (level 0) is at 2TB.
Serv02
- this is our media server for OSB and we manage from here all other servers that we would like OSB to be implemented.
-Windows Server 2003 R2
- We have IBM tape library here with four drives
- Our tape volumes are 480GB each (compressed) we about 50 of them.
-Each tape volume has barcodes and our library has barcode reader
How can I group certain tapes (as a media family?) and use them for our level 0 backup. As you know, one tape cannot hold our level 0 backup so we need at least 5 tape volumes to hold our level 0 backup. Is there a step by step process of doing this? Or does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks and I would really appreciate your thoughts about this.

Yes, media families (like tape pools) are used to group backups on tape. Using a database backup storage selector, you set-up media policy so OSB will automatically select appropriate storage when for the backup per your settings. You may want to refer to this white paper which discusses media management:
