How to respond to physical block corruption??

Hi, all.
As far as I know, there are two types of block corruption.
1. logical block corruption
2. physical block corruption
In case of logical block corruption, there are a few method of how to take care of it.
such as BMR with rman, media recovery, and dbms package.
In case of physical block corruption, how can I respond to this type of errors?
Does physical block corruption of a disk mean disk failure??
If so, I have to replace the disk? Or, is there any other way to solve
this type of errors?
In addition, how can I know that the block corruption is caused by logical problems
or physical problems??
Thanks and Regards.

Round around in circles, screaming at the top of your voice "we're all going to die!".
Hey, why that funny looks? It works. And it scares the stuffings out of management and colleagues... ;-)
> Does physical block corruption of a disk mean disk failure??
If by physical corruption you mean that reading a data block results in I/O errors and a corrupt/incomplete read buffer, then yes. The "disk" is failing - or more correctly, the I/O h/w is failing. It may not be the disk itself. It could be a problem with the HBA, a controller card, etc.
In exceptional cases it may not even be a h/w issue. It could be a s/w induced error. I once got physical I/O errors reported by Oracle. The problem was traced to an incompatibility between the ASMlib kernel module and EMC Powerpath. The SAN disks & h/w were fine.
> If so, I have to replace the disk? Or, is there any other way to solve
this type of errors?
There should be some kind of diagnostics you can run on the disks to determine if they are failing. Simply replacing a disk because there seems to be a physical corruption problem may not solve the problem itself.
You need to identify the actual problem. Which means looking at all Oracle traces/dumps in this regard, looking at the kernel logs, manually dumping blocks to see the results, using whatever I/O & disk diagnostic tools available, etc.
> In addition, how can I know that the block corruption is caused by logical
problems or physical problems??
That depends on what you define as logical and physical corruption. The latter means to me that I cannot get the data off the disk without some kind of I/O error. Logical means that the data can be read just fine, but is garbage. Which could simply mean GIGO without implying any kind of underlaying h/w failure.

  • How to overcome from Data block corruption error

    Hi,
    I am using one table when i was deleting one row, i encountered "Data block corruption error".
    Kindly suggest solutions for the same.
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    If you have a recovery manager backup, then you can perform a block recovery operation, after the information shown on the error message where the file# and the block# are displayed you can perform the block recovery operation.
    Syntax for the block recovery operation can be found here : BLOCKRECOVER
    In case of an index block, it is enough to rebuild the index.
    In case you have a regular backup with archivelog enabled you can restore the damaged datafile and perform a simple file recovery operation.
    One more additional tip that can be used, you may be interested in using the DBMS_REPAIR package unit.
    Finally, I suggest you to check the complete datafile using dbv (Database Verifier) utility to find out if there are more corrupt blocks in your datafile, and proactively run this utility as a maintenance task.

  • How get os physical block size ?

    man dd, it advice bs parameter be a multiple of the physical block size .
    How can I get physical block size ? such as aix, hpux ,suselinux.
    bs=BlockSize
    Specifies both the input and output block size, superseding the ibs and obs flags. The block size values
    specified with the bs flag must always be a multiple of the physical block size for the media being used.

  • Rman Detect Block Corruption

    Hi
    I know rman detect block corruption but my question is block corruption having two types one is physical block corruption and other is logical block corruption
    by default rman enable physical block corruption but by default rman not able to detect logical block corruption.Plz tell how i enable logical block corruption with RMAN?
    Please make correction if i m wrong.
    Thanks a lot.

    >> Sorry i am not telling you i am using oracle 9iR2 instead of oracle 10g
    It's okay.
    That's why; it's been already told that before posting in the forums, better it's better to specify/mention the Oracle Version/OS Details, etc to get the accurate and response.
    >> Send me if you have 9i related document.
    No need to send you the related documents, when there is a bulk repository available for free of cost for everybody.
    All you need to do is, just search in http://tahiti.oracle.com/ with the required word or phrase.
    Don't take me wrong, but make a habit of searching related documents from the Oracle Documentations.

  • System datafile block corruption - no backups and database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

    Dear All,
    Database version - oracle 11.1 Enterprise
    OS - RHELinux 5.8
    What are the options of recovering from physical block corruption when there are no backup available to perform block media recovery?
    V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION reports two segments corrupted (please see attached image for details).
    1 table in system datafile - sys_fba_barrierscn
    1 index - (applicaiton index)
    What are my options?
    I know there is a possibility that the database will not restart after a shutdown due to corruption in system tablespace.
    Database is in noarchivelog mode. So online backups are not possible and there aren't any full backups either.
    I am thinking of below,
    1. Run dbms_repair with fix_block_corruption. - Still database startup might fail?
    2. Shutdown the database and take offline full backup with RMAN MAXCorrupt option.
    Appreciate your suggestions and advises.
    Thanks
    Stefan

    Thanks Sybrand,
    Agree with your first two suggestions .
    Also scheduled a expdp job tonight. (Only backup like thing they had was a expdp cron, but until today all the large tables were failing due to small undo_retention).
    Yes. Flashback is not used. So hopefully it will not affect the a database restart i guess?
    Related to dbms_repair, I was referring to - http://askdba.org/weblog/2010/08/physical-corruption-ora-1578-part-3/.
    Where DBMS_REPAIR.FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS and DBMS_REPAIR.SKIP_CORRUPT_BLOCKS used.
    Which i think will not use any redo.
    Thanks
    Stefan

  • Data Block Corruption

    I'm on 9i R2 Patch 7 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
    How do you fix data block corruption in a Table?
    Is the some way to retrieve the data from the Table drop it then recreate and reimport the data?
    or do you have to succumb with restoring the Database from the last known good backup?

    Hey, you can do the BMR (Block Media Recovery).
    Since block corruption is to few subsets of blocks, i.e. a single table, you dont need to restore from the previous valid backup, you can simply do the following to achieve BMR.
    Connect to rman and run the following:
    run{ backup validate database};
    Once the above commend is finishes, exit from RMAN and connect to the database as / as sysdba and use the following view to know the details required for BMR.
    select * from V$backup_corruption;
    The above queries gives you file# and block# information. Once you have the information do the BMR using following command at the RMAN prompt:
    run {blockrecover datafile # block #};
    # : indicated the datafile number and block number from the above view.
    Let me know if you have any further issues.
    You can also use view V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION to view the file# and corrupted blocks information.

    Thanks a lot

    Can RMAN recover the datablock from this cold backup(which is a week old, the data file was not corrupted then) ?Please note that to do the recovery, you would need the backup and the archivelog files since the backup. Think about what you are asking to do. Its a single block whose recovery you are asking from a week old backup which obviously would be on an much older SCN compared to the rest of the database. How would you make that block consistent with the rest of the datafile. If you don't have archivelog in that db whose block is corrupted, you may forget that block and any data that it might ever had. Also, please read the documentation about the block recovery which explains the requirements very clearly,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmblock.htm#BRADV89784
    From the above link, 1st point,
    The target database must run in ARCHIVELOG mode and be open or mounted with a current control file.HTH

    DB_VERIFY is useful in these situations:
    When block corruption is expected;

  • How RMAN detect block corruption

    Hi,
    how RMAN detect block corruption( means how RMAN work internally to find corrupted block).
    thanks.

    There are initialization parameters (like DB_BLOCK_CHECKING) which will detect block corruption on block access. Go through the following link also:

  • How to practice "Archived log sequences loss- Block corruptions recovery"

    Hello,
    Prepare and test a recovery scenarios
    - System Tablespace loss
    - Online Redolog loss
    - Controlfile loss
    - Data Tablespace loss
    - Single/multiple datafile loss
    - Archived log sequences loss- Block corruptions recovery
    - Total loss (database)
    - Total loss (server = database/software/parameter files)
    11g on windows
    I am practicing my rman recovery and found this list of recovery scenarios. I have completed all scenarios
    besides "Archived log sequences loss- Block corruptions recovery"
    How do I break the database for the snenario "Archived log sequences loss- Block corruptions recovery"?
    Do I delete the acr.001 files in directory I:\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\RDBMS? Then recovery as far forward as I can?
    thanks for your help.

    thanks for the tips
    11g on windows 2003
    I broke the database like this:
    rman backup
    shutdown immediate;
    deleted datafile 5
    delete most recent archivelogs seq 5 and 6;
    recovered like this:
    startup mount;
    restore datafile 5;
    recover datafile 5;
    alter database open;
    This does not seem correct? Did this also apply my archivelogs seq 5 and 6? Should I also do a point in time recovery?
    Should I also run this?
    run (set until sequence 6 thread 1; restore database; recover database;)
    thanks for any help

  • Frequent  block Corruption....

    Hi,
    Oracle documents mentioned , block corruption rarely happens but i have to frequently face this problem ,mostly logical corruption. And when this happens i have to recover that datafile from the backup which is very much time consuming and loss to business.
    What should i do to prevent these corruption....both logical and physical???
    Can anyone share their experience to solve the problem taking proper precaution??
    Thanks and Regards,

    I am not sure...how to find the answer???Perhaps there was no block corruption? After all, you have the best h/w on the market and how could it cause corrupted data blocks when an Oracle I/O call give it a data block to write to disk?
    Or perhaps you are lying to yourself about this "best in the market" b/s?
    Block corruption means that the data block Oracle writes from memory to disk, does not arrive on the disk intact - or that the block is afterwards read from disk 'incorrectly' and arrives in memory as a corrupted block.
    If this happens frequently, there are two basic core issues:
    - this is h/w related (old failing disks, errors in storage system, etc)
    - this is s/w related (the I/O fabric layer and driver used for I/O is faulty/buggy)
    The h/w related one is usually easy to diagnose as h/w tests and probes can be done (e.g. running smartctl for SMART analysis of disks).
    The s/w related one is IMO a bit more difficult to diagnose. I have seen this with using ASMLib with certain 3rd party driver software, with older OFED driver version for SRP (Scsi Remote direct memory access Protocol), and so on.
    Bottom line is that block corruption generates errors and you need to look from the top of the s/w stack down to bottom of the h/w stack to see where these errors are being recorded and what the errors are saying is wrong.
