Need to Configure RMAN backup in 8.1.7.4.1

I have been asked to design a backup and recovery strategy for our production and test databases
I got 2003 Enterprise server with 3 disks of each 300gb.
There are 10 databases running in versions 8,9,10 with 5 production and 5 UAT database.
The sum of the Db will be around 70Gb
I got 200Gb free space in 2 disks
how can i design a BACKUP startegy here. I have palnned to use RMAN backups.
Any useful links and proper guiding from you people expected.
Right Now there is only export backup in Night.
I have informed them we are running the Db in risk,.They have asked me to comeup with a plan.
Any help please

Is it possible to backup 8.1.7.4.1 by 10g database.
i can create a recovery catalog in 10g and wil i be able to backup a 8 and 9 Db
>
I have test 10g catalog with 9i. No idea with the 8i.
I guess, 8i(817) is more comportable with 10g and it should work.
Have a try with your test database and also cross check the metrix with different version in the Metalink.

Good news Maran,
I just come across of the following note which explains the RMAN compatibility between 8 - 10g versions.
RMAN Compatibility Oracle8i 8.1.7.4 - Oracle10g 10.1.0.4
Doc ID: Note:307022.1
In case, if you dont have access to metalink, the punch line from the note is :
SUMMARY
=======
Is best practice to use 'rule of thumb'. Always used the target database RMAN executable and the latest release of Oracle for your recovery catalog.
If you are going to use a lower version RMAN executable to backup higher version databases remember you are restricted to only the features available
in the database your using. But the executable you are using must be able to handle the feature or configuration you are using. Case and point the
RMAN-06466 error above where in 9.0.1 there is no concept of "AS BACKUPSET".
Because configure commands were executed some options in the controlfile were not understood when parsed by the lower version RMAN.

Hi;
Can any one advice if any error or guide to make RMAN backup proper :
Backup Policy are:
1.     0 level backup
2.     current log file is arvhived before backing up
3.     backup whole database (datafiles)
4.     backup separate control file
5.     backup is done on disk
6.     control file auto backup ON
7.     only 7 days archive log are need to be preserve ; old need to be deleted

Dear Pierre F.;
Actually, I just added in my backup plan to have daily backup through RMAN, instead of COLD backup.
I have planned to take cold backup once a week. here is the side of data:
*** datafile 410
*** size of database : 86 GM
*** relog files size : 250MB
*** daily archive logs are : 250MB * 4(number of files) = 1GM aprox.
yes, time constraint is there; just because of the size of database. and we r going for 24/7
Is this script going to run only one per week ?
Ans: no I this was level 0 backup; i will take level 1 incremental backup with same script daily too.
Do you have any other RMAN script ?
ANS: no, I will modify same script for incremental.
after local copy of backup all backup files (RMAN) will be copy over network to backup server or we can install LTO tape device to copy directly from database server.
kindly advise me I am new in RMAN.
regards;
SMITH

Need inputs on RMAN Backup n Recovery for multiple restore of clean backup

I will explain my scenario below:
We have the requirement of performance testing of our proposed production platform, for this i am asked to take RMAN backup of clean position (Say Day0 or baseline backup) and restore it multiple times for few rounds of testing. My question is after 1st restore (with set until time of day0 position) if i open the database with resetlogs, would i be able to restore same clean backup again? I am using control file in the environment instead of RMAN catalog database. What i can do to make this scenario work? I am already in preperation of setting rman catalog database.
Please suggest me the best way forward...
Many Thanks
Nukesh

Hi Asif,
I tried to make it work but seems there are still issue with my recovery, can you have a look and point out the shortcommings. i am totally lost here

Configuring Rman backups from Enterprise Manager GC.

Greetings,
I am having a difficult time understanding how OEM GC 11g interacts with RMAN and am hoping someone can clarify a couple of things for me. Hopefully I am asking meaningful questions. I can make it work but am unclear as to how it is working.
1) For a particular instance under Availability -> Backup/Recovery -> Setting -> Backup Settings I configure my backup settings for RMAN. Is that analogous to issuing the CONFIGURE command from within RMAN?
2) For a particular instance under Availability -> Backup/Recovery -> Manage -> Schedule Backup There are two choices: Oracle Suggested Backup and Customized backup.
Does each of those choices use the settings defined when I configured backup settings?
Looking at the script generated by the Oracle Suggested Backup it appears that it is a very basic backup. What does it do about archive maintenance after backup.
Thanks
Bill Wagman

Hi,
to answer the questions:
1.) yes, these settings reflect the RMAN configuration settings and are used for the backup jobs that are configured via Grid Control
2.) we are using gric control to configure our backup jobs - we never used the Oracle suggested backups, they seemed to be too simple and less flexible. We preferred to build customized backups. They are easy to configure (some screens to clck through) and provides more flexibility. As an example you can decide to backup archive logs also and to delete then from disk afterwards. Also you can distinguish between full or incremental backups. I think it is uasbel and flexible enough for basic backup strategies.

Configuring rman backup for oracle on rac cluster

Hi GURUS
We are buying installation oracle rac on a two node server. We do backup our db using rman and TSM .
Does anyone have any guidance on using TSM scheduled TDP backups with
Oracle RAC multi-node?
More to that, is it possible to have multiple archive log destination?
Any advice would be appreciated.
David

While you can have archives going to different destinations, on different nodes, it is not advisable because if these destinations are not reachable in case of a node/system failure, you have no access to these archive logs.
Actually for easy accesibility it would be better to place the archive logs of all instnaces on shared storage. If you are using ASM and using a FRA disk group, you may want to have your archives go into this location.
NFS mounting filesystems could be slower and may have certain perforamance implications.

Guidance for Implenting RMAN backup

I need to configure RMAN and Database parameters for implementing RMAN Incremental backups.
My strategy was to take a level 0 backup monthly once, cumulative level 1 backup and diff level 1 backup daily. I need to maintain 3 months backup.
What are all the parameters i should consider for doing this?
Retention policy to recovery window of 90 days.
control_file_record_keep_time 100 days
I am storing backups in a disk location apart from Flas recovery area.
plz advice...
TIA,

export is not a backup.Export is not a Physical backup but its a logical backup...:)
I agree sybrand it is recommended not to rely on Export because it is inconsistent...but it is still valid if an user acciedentaly drops the tables or objects..
Cheers

Prerequisites for configuring RMAN

Hi All,
My database is in AIX Box..
I have to configure Rman backup in Windows system..
What are all the prerequisites for configuring the Rman?

Hi!
OK. I'll post the content of this website:
A database cloning procedure is especially useful for the DBA who wants to give his developers a full-sized TEST and DEV instance by cloning the PROD instance into the development server areas.
This Oracle clone procedure can be use to quickly migrate a system from one UNIX server to another. It clones the Oracle database and this Oracle cloning procedures is often the fastest way to copy a Oracle database.
STEP 1: On the old system, go into SQL*Plus, sign on as SYSDBA and issue: “alter database backup controlfile to trace”. This will put the create database syntax in the trace file directory. The trace keyword tells oracle to generate a script containing a create controlfile command and store it in the trace directory identified in the user_dump_dest parameter of the init.ora file. It will look something like this:
    STARTUP NOMOUNT
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "OLDLSQ" NORESETLOGS
    NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 16
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 240
    MAXINSTANCES 1
    MAXLOGHISTORY 113
    LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 ('/u03/oradata/oldlsq/log1a.dbf',
    '/u03/oradata/olslsq/log1b.dbf') SIZE 30M,
    GROUP 2 ('/u04/oradata/oldlsq/log2a.dbf',
    '/u04/oradata/oldlsq/log2b.dbf') SIZE 30M
    DATAFILE
    '/u01/oradata/oldlsq/system01.dbf',
    '/u01/oradata/oldlsq/mydatabase.dbf'
    # Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored
    # backups, or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
    RECOVER DATABASE
    # Database can now be opened normally.
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;STEP 2: Shutdown the old database
STEP 3: Copy all data files into the new directories on the new server. You may change the file names if you want, but you must edit the controlfile to reflect the new data files names on the new server.
    rcp /u01/oradata/oldlsq/* newhost:/u01/oradata/newlsq
    rcp /u01/oradata/oldlsq/* newhost:/u01/oradata/newlsq
    rcp /u03/oradata/oldlsq/* newhost:/u03/oradata/newlsq
    rcp /u04/oradata/oldlsq/* newhost:/u04/oradata/newlsqSTEP 4: Copy and Edit the Control file – Using the output syntax from STEP 1, modify the controlfile creation script by changing the following:
Old:
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "OLDLSQ" NORESETLOGSNew:
    CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEWLSQ" RESETLOGSSTEP 5: Remove the “recover database” and “alter database open” syntax
    # Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored
    # backups, or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
    RECOVER DATABASE
    # Database can now be opened normally.
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;STEP 6: Re-names of the data files names that have changed.
Save as db_create_controlfile.sql.
Old:
    DATAFILE
    '/u01/oradata/oldlsq/system01.dbf',
    '/u01/oradata/oldlsq/mydatabase.dbf'New:
    DATAFILE
    '/u01/oradata/newlsq/system01.dbf',
    '/u01/oradata/newlsq/mydatabase.dbf'STEP 7: Create the bdump, udump and cdump directories
    cd $DBA/admin
    mkdir newlsq
    cd newlsq
    mkdir bdump
    mkdir udump
    mkdir cdump
    mkdir pfileSTEP 8: Copy-over the old init.ora file
    rcp $DBA/admin/olslsq/pfile/*.ora newhost:/u01/oracle/admin/newlsq/pfileSTEP 9: Start the new database
    @db_create_controlfile.sqlSTEP 10: Place the new database in archivelog mode
I hope that this could be of any help to you.
Best Regards
Florian W.

Configuring rman channel

hi,
while taking backup we are configuring channels based on cpu's right?
so, how i can fine no. of cpu's on my machine and how many channels can allocate per cpu.

If you don't know how to retrieve the number of CPUs on your server, you are probably not the right person to configure RMAN backups :-)
Jokes aside: Number of CPUs is not the only factor to estimate the number of channels. Isn't one channel fast enough for your backup? Do you backup to tape or disk? Do you backup during end user activity? What kind of storage (RAID, ASM, Number of Drives) are you using? How big is your database? What is your time window for the backup?
That is a list of factors to take into account that I think of first.
Kind regards

Rman backup and restore from ASM env to Non ASM Environment

Hi,
I got a situation where i need to take RMAN Backup from ASM RAC environment and Restore that back to Non ASM standalone database.
Please let me know the procedure.

Hi,
You can follow this procedure
1. take the backup to destination host
2. restore spfile and controlfile
3. catalog the backup with command 'catalog start with <location of backup>'
4. use "set newname for datafile" to restore the datafile to non asm disk
5. restore database
6. recover database until point in time
7. rename redolog and tempfile
8. open database with resetlogs
9. remove redolog group from another instance
10. you might want to drop undo tablespace from another instance too
11. task complete
Cheers

Hello,
Refer this MOS doc *HowTo Restore RMAN Disk backups of RAC Database to Single Instance On Another Node [ID 415579.1]*
On the Single Instance ASM, you need to specify the diskgroup name for the parameters "control_files, db_create_file_dest"

To Confgure RMAN backup through Netvault

Hi All,
I have configured RMAN backup through a Net-Vault. Previously I was taking User Managed backup, Backup ran successfully. I have issues with RMAN Backup through NetVault.
The following is the error message received.
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04005: error from target database:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Failed with exit code 3
RMAN returned exit code 3
But when I take RMAN backup directly(Without Netvault) with that oracle user, I have no problem - Backup Runs properly.
What should I do to take Backup through NetVault.
Thanks In Advance,
Suresh S.

No it's not at all possible to take backup of multiple database through the manually allocated channel.
Allocating the channel manually is only possible while running the commands in batch mode
eg. run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
allocate channel ch2 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
backup database setsize=12582912;
release channel ch1;
release channel ch2;
And you can connect through single rman prompt to only one target database not more than that. So at any point of time you connect to only one database you can user channels to backup that database only.

RMAN backup for two databases with similar DBID

We have two databases with SID 'uiivc' and 'uiivc1' running from one of the HP Unix 11.11 PA-RISC server. I did configured RMAN backup for both databases. But it is found that both databases have same DBID [connected to target database: UIIVC (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC & connected to target database: UIIVC1 (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC1] and backup configured via crontab seen running fine with full backup at weekend and archivelog backup at daily for both databases. Now my query is that will it create any issues at time of restoration since both databases have similar DBID? Does RMAN uses DBID to distinguish databases?
Kindly help to clarifiy

Hi Tycho,
I configured RMAN to store controlfile backups in different folders on each database.
UIIVC database:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/hot_backups/rmanbkp/uiivc/cf%F';
UIIVC1 database:

And I saw backups are placing in the respective folders too. So with these settings, can I safely assume there is no issues with RMAN backup and restore having similar DBID for two databases running on same server?

Archivelog RMAN backup

In my database I have configured rman backup.
when i use the following command to perform archivelogs backup, it delete all archive logs after the backup. I want to keep 3 days retention on my server after completion of archivelog all backup. Can any one guide me pls.
backup archivelog all delete input format 'ARC_%d_%s_%p.bks' ;

If you use delete input command then it will take the backup of your available archivelogs and delete them from the archive destination. Just exclude the delete input command and try again.
backup format '/oracle/rman_backup/RMAN_ARCH_SMS<%s:%t:%p>.bkp' archivelog all;
Also, connect into RMAN prompt and to keep retention of 3 days run the command.
