How to restore a single instance database to RAC (10g) using RMAN ?

Hi all,
I have a single instance database configured using file system in a unique server, so now I need to restore this database using RMAN to a new RAC environment with two nodes and ASM also.
Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.
System: Windows 2003
Oracle 10g R2
Thanks.

In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.

  • How to create a single instance ASM installation on Windows using 11gR1 ?

    Good afternoon,
    After reading much documentation and doing a lot of Googling, I have not found a step by step procedure on how to install/use ASM for a single database instance successfully. This is using Windows XP SP2, Oracle 11gR1 (I can likely adjust any procedure that is meant for Server 2003 or 2008 as long as it is does not require a 64bit installation.)
    If someone knows where I can find a step by step procedure on how to do this, that actually works and, would be so kind to share it, I'd much appreciate it.
    Thank you,
    John.

    As we have discussed on other threads, in 11.2, its not possible to do the installation of the ASM without using the Grid Infrastructure. The reason is ASM instance can be created using the ASMCA only in 11.2 which would run only from the Grid Home. So if you are willing to use ASM in 11.2, you have to go through either on 64bit windows, or 32 bit linux. Other than this, you can use 11.1 and/or 10.2 where DBCA can be used for the same.

  • 10gR2 single instance to 11gR2 rac upgrade

    Can someone tell me some good approach for upgrading a single instance 10.2.0.2 database of approx size 2TB to 11.2.0.3 rac 2 node db on linux.

    Hi;
    1. You can upgrade your db to 11gr2 first than convert it to rac
    2. You can use RMAN and restore it to new 11gR2 server
    3. You can use expdp/impdp to new 11gR2 server

  • Creating a RAC standby database for a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I have a task of migrating a 500GB single instance database to a two-node RAC database with a little downtime at hand. My migration strategy is to:
    1) Create a RAC physical standby for the Single Instance database
    2) Switchover to RAC standby.
    Primary and Standby OS and DB configurations:
    OS: Windows Server EE 2003 (64-bit)
    DB: Oracle 10g Database Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    Oracle 10g Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    To create a RAC standby, I will:
    a) Install Clusterware (10.2.0.1)
    b) Install Database (10.2.0.1)
    c) Patch both Clusterware and Database (10.2.0.4)
    d) Create ASM instance for both the nodes (+ASM1 & +ASM2)
    e) create standby controlfile on primary
    f) Move standby controlfile, RMAN backup of primary, pfile, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, password file to standby host-1
    g) make necessary changes to the pfile on standby host-1 like cluster_database, instance_name, thread, ...
    h) mount standby database and restore backup
    Kindly validate my steps and if there already exists such a document then please do provide me with a link.

    How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
    I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
    But if fails. I get the following message text.
    Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
    Here is the error message. Thanks.

    Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
    AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
    Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
    You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition

    How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?

    Its been awhile since I used iPhoto, but I have done it.
    If I recall correctly this is how.
    In iPhoto open event that you need to restore the photo to ( the event that originally contained it )
    Then open TM it should show that same event and then go back in time until you find the missing shot
    Highlight the one you need to restore and tell TM to restore it.

  • Configuring multiple services in a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I would like to create multiple service names for a single instance oracle database (10.2.0.3 on IBM - AIX 6.1). I tried searching on the net, reading documentation, and also on the metalink but couldn't find anything relevant to single instance database.
    Say I have two users, userA and userB, for which I would like to use two services (ServA and ServB) to connect to the same single instance database.
    Any help in this direction is appreciated.

    It is very hard to believe you didn't find this in the documentation, and my suspicion is you didn't search for it at all.It is very hard to believe that you don't trust others and end up in suspicion. I wish you were sitting next to me while I was searching for the link/document.It is because the vast majority of doc questions are asked by people who don't read the docs at all.
    Now, I'm curious about your requirement. While it can be done, it is pretty unusual. That always leads me to want to step back from the technical question and ask What business problem is this solving?

  • How to convert from single instance to RAC?

    Hi, I have one environment it is version is 10.2.0.4 in linux SUSE.
    I decided to move this environment to 10.2.0.4 Real applicaiton cluster has two nodes in linux red-hat.
    Firstly,
    I install 10.2.0.1 rac on two new machine in linux red hat.
    Then I upgrade my rac to 10.2.0.4 from 10.2.0.
    Now I want to move the single instance to RAC,
    Is there an anathoer way that different from export , import?

    Besides the obvious Export-Import which do not want to consider (although it would be the neatest method !), look the 4th conversion scenario under paragraph D.3.2 "Single-Instance to RAC Conversion Scenarios" at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14203/cvrt2rac.htm#BABFCAHF
    The 4th conversion scenario is "Converting a single-instance Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) to an 10g Release 2 (10.2) RAC database, running out of a different Oracle home, and where the host where the single-instance database is running is not one of the nodes of the RAC database".

  • Can we use Grid Infrastructure 11.2 to protect a single instance database?

    Hi all,
    I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
    I found these docs:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/em-db-failover-128585.pdf (for 10.2)
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/si-db-failover-11g-134623.pdf (for 11.1)
    I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
    At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
    Andrea

    Hi,
    while this still works (the scripts for failover you find in the demo folder $GI_HOME7/crs/demo/coldfailover), the document does not exists, since with 11gR2 there is a supported solution called RAC ONE Node, hence rendering the manual setup obsolete.

  • How do l create a new database in Oracle 10g Express

    How do l create a new database in Oracle 10g Express, other than the one that is created on installation?

    Hello,
    You cannot create a second XE database on the same server.
    But, Oracle database can support as many Schema as you want.
    "Oracle database" is like "SQL Server Instance" and "Oracle Schema" is like "SQL Server database". I means by this shortcut that for
    the end users accessing to different Schemas looks like accessing to different databases.
    You can have several applications on the same database. Each application has its own Schema and Datafile (Tablespace) structure.
    So on your XE database you can add a new Tablespace and create a new User/Schema as follows:
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect / as sysdba
    create tablespace {color:red}new_tablespace_name{color}
    extent management local autoallocate
    SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
    datafile '{color:red}complete_datafile_name{color}' size 100M autoextend on next 10M maxsize unlimited;
    create user {color:red}new_schema_name{color} identified by {color:red}password{color}
    default tablespace {color:red}new_tablespace_name{color}
    temporary tablespace TEMP
    quota unlimited on {color:red}new_tablespace_name{color}
    grant connect, resource to {color:red}new_schema_name{color};Then you can connect to this new User/Schema as you defined it and create your new structure and load datas.
    Hope it can help.
    Best regards,

  • How to Find the Current Instance Id in Oracle 10g

    Hi,
    how to find the current instance id in oracle 10g studio,
    I have the below code :
    if (InstanceScreenFlow.processInstance.id.id.indexOf(text : ins.id) < 0) {
    /// do something
    it is saying that "'processInstance' is not a function"
    Thanks,
    Brijesh Kumar Singh.

    Why not just pass in the "id" predefined variable into your screenflow? Once you do that you'll be able to refer to it as "id.id" anywhere inside your screenflow.
