Making rman-backup-to-shared-disk fix-up work how i want it to

Greetings Oracle Network!!
(Oracle 10g enterprise edition on windows server 2003 platform)
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_os_error_os5_access_denied.htm
is a link where a fix to locating rman backups is suggested. it asks me to change the oracleservicesid logon. my database is what runs a website. when i change the oracleservicesid logon the website no longer functions.this is undesirable.
how do i fix this??
Even on my test-server which houses databases, changing the oracleservicesid logon to administrator, disables all connections made to the database from the LAN using SQL developer. how to not let this happen??
Please help
Thanks in advance

10g is desupported for a long time.
Your issue is you backup to a network drive.
The solution provided to you by Donald Burleson is correct.
Why the website no longer functions is unclear as you provide no error messages or whatsoever.
An easy solution would be of course to buy an extra disk to connect it directly to the server.
From your post it is unclear why you didn't consider implementing that.
Also your assertion about the test server is way too vague. You again didn't provide any error message.

Is it possible to restore TSM/ADSM RMAN backup pieces to disk manually?

Is it possible to restore TSM/ADSM RMAN backup pieces to disk manually, and re-catlog as disk backups?
Oracle 10.2.0.3
TSM client 5.5.1.1
SUN Solaris 10 64-bit
We are gearing up to switch from IBM's Tivoli (TSM/adsm) to EMC's Networker (Legatto), and the old TSM software drivers are going to be uninstalled.
In a worse case scenario, we would therefore not be able to easily restore using RMAN and TSM just after the switch, and before new backups are made on Networker.
To be comfortable with the backup methodology change, we need to explore restoring the RMAN backup pieces of a given tag using TSM commands (dsmc ?) to a filesystem, re-catalog the backup pieces now on disk, and then perform test restore/recoveries using RMAN with disk channels.
Does anyone know of the TSM command (dsmc ?) to perform the restores of RMAN backup pieces?
Thanks!

This is a set of guesses and thoughts.
1: When you say you are removing the Tivoli software drive, is this just the driver from the oracle home, or is it more substantive. In fact could you have a different oracle home to access tivoli, possible with a rman catalog copy.
2: I dont believe the backup tag is part of the filename, however is it possilbe to query the rman catalog to get the filenames mapped to a tag?
3: Providing you know the filenames you wish to restore then it is possible to browse the tivoli catalog. Its ages since I've done this but doesn't samc have at interactive mode
Apologies if these suggestions are rubbish and hopefully someone gives a better answer.

Rman Backup of External Disk

Hi
We have an 3 Oracle 11.1 database on 3 different servers with Windows 2003.
We have a high speed USB External hard drive of Disk space about 2 TB .
I wanted to know is it a good idea to take a Rman backup every night on this external drive from all the three databases by sharing this drive .
Later this backs are manually copied to tapes.
Thanks

Hi,
You can take the backup but it will be very slow ( not like local harddisk)
You will see the significate wait event RMAN backup & I/O in AWR report.
You need crosscheck or validate the backup once its written to harddisk and again that may take more time
what i suggest is try it and if you are facing any problem , then don't continue.
Kind Regards,

RMAN backup to remote disk in Windows

Hi,
I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.1 with Windows Server 2003 in both Server A and Server B. My prime DB is stored in Server A meanwhile my RMAN Catalog is in Server B. I’m running RMAN to do backup of the DB in Server A which is running out of space. So, I have decided to store my backupsets to Server B since I do have few hundred Gs there. Overall, I will push the backup script from RMAN Catalog in Server B and will store the backupsets back to Server B.
My problem is whenever I run the script, no matter either from Server A or Server B, I’m getting the following error. Attached together is the RMAN configuration parameters.
Error:

Please do help me or share your knowledge to resolve this problem.
Thanks & regards,

Hi Andre,
Yes you're correct, it's because of the Oracle service which run under Local System Account. I have went to it's properties and changed the logon details to my own Login ID which is Administrator for both Server A and B. Now my remote backup is working great...
But does this changes will affect other apps/jobs/results in Oracle?
Guys,
If you have any better idea to solve this issue please drop into this thread or let me know if you find anything wrong on my solution.
Thanks a lot for Andre.... You have solved my 2 weeks problem.

Time capsule backups fail because disks aren't recognised - how to fix?

Hi, all... I have a 500GB TC with a 2TB Western Digital drive attached, which I use for backing up three computers. My desktop iMac is connected to the TC by Ethernet cable, my laptop and my wife's laptop connect over wifi. The desktop and my wife's laptop back up to the WD drive. My laptop backs up to the TC internal drive.
Every few days (max, min is something like 1 day), I notice that the backups are all failing at the "Looking for backup disk" stage. That's both the iMac connected by Ethernet and the laptops on WiFi. The WiFi _signal_ is fine -- my laptops can see the network, browse to other destinations, download files at a good speed. The TC has a green light, and Airport Utility doesn't detect any issues.
But although the TC appears in the Finder Sidebar, it shows no disks. If I try to "Connect As" nothing happens.
I can resolve the issue by pulling the plug on the TC and re-powering it, and then doing the same with the WD disk. If I do that, both disks appear in the finder (with no need to "connect" to them) and backups proceed normally.
Backups can go on normally for anywhere between 8 hours and four days, but then I have to repeat the whole rigmarole to get them started again.
I'm beginning to suspect something to do with two backup processes over Ethernet and Wifi to two different backup disks "colliding" somehow and locking out the disks. I say this, because if I'm away for a week with my laptop, and my laptop does no backups to the TC in that week, then when I get back, the iMac is still backing up fine, even though five days is a long time compared to how often it seems to fail when all three machines are at home and backing up.
I don't want to have to keep pulling the plug, so does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks!
bestest,
M.

Still not resolved this. However, I'm now absolutely SURE that it's something to do with colliding back-ups locking the TC up somehow.
I was at home for 3 weeks over Christmas, without using my work laptop. All through that time, the iMac continued backing up to the WD with no problems. Since then, though, I've been using my work laptop at home all day for a couple of weeks, and pretty much every afternoon, mid afternoon, the iMac alerts me that the backups could not be completed because the backup could not be found.
The TC shows up in the Finder sidebar still, and if I run Airport Utility I can access it and administer it. Once again, if you click on the TC in the Sidebar, it just says "Connecting" and shows no disks. However (and this is a new discovery), if I use the Airport Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from both the TCs internal disk and the WD external disk, the TC disk reappears in the Finder. The WD disk can only be made to reappear by power cycling it. But once that's done, backup can begin again as normal.
I therefore don't have to power cycle the TC to get the disks back.
So, it seems that something is happening that means that when two "users" are connected to the disks, having attepted a backup, they are locked, and can't be connected to.
Throughout all this, though, the laptop has continued to back-up normally to the TC internal drive, so IT can still see and connect to that drive. It's just the iMac that is somehow locked out of the TC and its external WD backup drive.
I do wish somebody would fix this!!!!

Time Machine Backup to Shared Firewire Drive Not Working

Hello
I know this may have been posted before, but I am looking for a simple troubleshooting / diagnostic process I can follow to resolve my issue:
I have a Imac running Lepoard with all possible software updates. A WD Studio 500GB drive is attached via Firewire 800. The drive has the latest firmware etc. I also have a 15" powerbook G4 (last model) running leopard. All Macs are connected to the a Netgear DG834N router, via ethernet cables.
The Imac and Firewire connected external drive works normally with time machine.
I have shared the external drive on the Imac and given all 'built in' groups read/write permissions.
I can mount the external drive on the powerbook and see the files that are backed up by the Imac, I can traverse the folder tree within the folders contrained in the backup. Double clicking on these folders invokes the 'star trek' style time machine window.
When trying to backup the powerbook, I could see the external drive as a time machine target disk.
The backup failed twice. Having checked the disk a sparse image was created. I tried again a number of times without success - I deleted the sparse image and tried to start again.
This time I could not find the disk in the selection in time machine, a reboot of everything revealed the disk, but when selecting the 'use for backup' button in time machine on the powerbook nothing happens.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

You have a pretty simple problem: time machine does not allow you to backup two computers to the same hard drive or partitioin. the way to fix this is to repartition you WD drive into two partitions, one for each computer. if you already have other data (not from time machine), make three partitons: one for iMac, one for PowerBook, and one for Other. do not put any data other than time machine data on the iMac and PowerBook partitons, always put it in other. you can partiton a disk easily with disk utility, but wait:
_CAUTION: THIS WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE ALL THE DATA ALREADY ON THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE!_
to avoid this, first use disk utility to make a disk image of the external hard drive, and save it on your internal drive. if the image won't fit (your internal drive doesn't have enough capacity, then you can either erase all the data on already on the hard drive with the reformat, or buy another disk to use for the PowerBook) then, when the disk is partitioned correctly, mount the disk image and copy all the files on it back to the correct* partition of the external hard drive. *if the files on the external hard drive came from the iMac, then put them on the iMac partiton of the drive. if they came from the powerbook, put them in that partition, and if it is not from time machine, put it in othe
Hope you followed all that!

Disk drive not working, how/who to contact?

I recently took my Macbook (2.0ghz 512mb RAM) White to get repaired at an Apple authorized computer store near where I live. The repair was for a broken backlight, however since getting the computer back (After two weeks mind you, a comuter tech guy who works at my school said it would take minutes), a disk in the drive will not eject.
-I have tried all possible solutions including opening Terminal and entering commands, restarting my computer while holding the mouse button, so on, and so forth.
-I do not remember putting a disc in my computer before taking it to get repaired, is it possible the shop would put a blank disc in there to prevent damage during the repair..or something like that?
-Can anyone provide me the correct link to email/call Apple support to help fix this problem or bring it somewhere it can be fixed? Im not very good at their support page at the moment
-Thanks, I know I wrote alot

Backup Assistant Plus simply doesn't work, how do I disable it?

I have a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III and when I set up my contacts, I added them as "Phone" entries with the expectation that the Backup Assistant Plus app would allow me to back them up. Except that it doesn't and, from what I've seen online, it is a miserable piece of junk that simply doesn't work for many people.
Soooo....
I sent all my contacts as a big V-card to my Gmail account, sorted things out in Gmail, unjoined them all on the phone, and deleted the Phone entries. Now I only have Gmail contact entries and they synch with no issues.
My only question now is, how do I disable/stop Backup Assistant Plus so that it doesn't constantly give me notifications about how incapable it is? I've tried clearing it's data and forcing it to stop. But it comes back from the dead, like a demonic zombie! It appears the only thing the app can do is resurrect it itself for the sole purpose of notifying me that it will fail to do anything useful.
Any and all help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

Your instructions above DO NOT WORK, under Manage Applications I get "Uninstall updates" - I cannot uninstall it. It is a "system application" and I am locked out of that control. GRRRR. Clear data does not do anything for performance.
Even when on wifi, this app's backup of data is slower than TAR in January. Biggest issue is the
The reason the steps to uninstall the app didn't work is because the DROID 3 is running Gingerbread (Android 2.3). The instructions above were for the Samsung Galaxy S III running either ICS (Android 4.0) or Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).
You can however "Clear the Data" for the app and from that point never use the app. The phone will learn to not load it into the RAM in case you ever use it.

Hello Tychos,
I am able to make a sqlplus connection, but your hint send me in the correct direction. I had a special character "@" in the password and I think that was the reason for my problems with RMAN.

RMAN Backup Solution

We are working on a new RMAN backup solution.
Since ours is a 9i OLTP we are planning to go for backup on disk.
Once the backup is on disk then to tape.If we want to restore the database back how we can restore.We dont use recovery catalog.
Thanks in advance

One of the best ways to help yourself in oracle forum is to do a search for existing soultions to your problem before you post a new one. That way, you shorten your thread.

RMAN Backup and Recovery Script

RMAN backup on local filesystem

Hi Experts,
I have an RMAN script and i want to use this script to backup my database on my local filesystem.How can i do it ? What changes i need to make in the script?How can i sepcify the path where i want to backup it ?
Actually this script was taken for doing it on tape drive .
Please help me.
connect target rman/rman@RMAN;
run
{ allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms
'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=,NSR_CLIENT=)'
format '/%d_%u_%s_%p/';
backup incremental level 0 ( database filesperset 8 include current controlfile );
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all delete input filesperset 10;
THanks & Regards,
MB

as per oracle best practices, use default channels where possible, these makes management easy !
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/rman_backup/%F';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rman_backup/d_%d_s_%s_p_%p_t_%t' MAXPIECESIZE 2048 M;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' MAXPIECESIZE 1536 M PARMS "ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=topdb1,NB_ORA_SERV=ilsdb2)" FORMAT 'd_%d_s_%s_p_%p_t_%t';
in the following example using default settings, parrallelism is set to 4 using veritas backup
first I take a backup to tape, see how channels get allocated, then to disk, old channels are released and new allocated to disk, this kind of backup policy makes things easy to manage and run, as reccomended by oracle.

Rman backup clarification

Hi,
I want to get clarified regarding rman backup.
Scenario: I have configured a catalog database in local server. I am having 5 remote databases.I want to connect to each one and take the backup, and each remote database backup should be stored in my local server i.e., catalog database server.
How should I configure the
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT
for storing the backup in local than in individual server else are there any other method.
Thanks in advance.

Hemant,
Basically I agree you can move your backupsets
anywhere *as long as they are under the control of
RMAN*.
So I have absolutely no objection to backing up to
disk, backing up those backupsets to tape *using
RMAN*.
What I can not accept is any manual intervention
outside RMAN, as that would nullify the primary
advantage of RMAN: backup administration inside the
database.
Doing so, this would result in finding out which
backupsets to restore to the target system. This
means one is back in the 80's when restoring and
recovering a database was a trial and error process.I habitually copy and compress (O9) rman backups to a disk off the db machine. It makes sense for this case because:
1. Not enough disk space on machine to keep very many uncompressed copies.
2. NFS disk not particularly reliable, I wouldn't want backup to fail because of it.
3. rman better than user managed backup, besides administration.
4. some things in the 80's were cool. In this case, it allows redundant copies to fade away based on the much larger semi-online disk space. It has saved my bacon.
Yes, the administration is more complicated than it should be, especially things like telling rman to give a particular archived log, any manual operation during a critical crazy restoration time is a bad thing, but it is better than the alternative of being much more limited with the backups.
In any case, 10G is a lot better as far as compression, and being able to tell rman what you've done moving things around. Come into the latter part of this decade, Sybrand :-)

Making rman-backup-to-shared-disk fix-up work how i want it to
