Networker + RMAN

We are in process of implementing RMAN backup’s with networker. We have installed and configured mno module and have run the script manually and works fine. But when I schedule to run it from networker, I got a tns access denied problem because I had not put the user_name/password in the script and was using connect target /
Below is my script
Works manually
connect target /
run {
set command id to 'networker_testdb_bkp';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'NSR_ENV=(NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=OracleDaily)';
backup database plus archivelog;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
works only if I
connect target user/password@service_name
run {
set command id to 'networker_testdb_bkp';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'NSR_ENV=(NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=OracleDaily)';
backup database plus archivelog;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
RMAN> SHOW ALL;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oraprd/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf_testdb.f'; # default
Also, to clarify, can anyone advise what happens when you give
RMAN> connect target / => as which user is the db connected to from RMAN ???
can anyone advise. thanks

connect target /
connects to the db defined by the ORACLE_SID in your environment, very different to connect target username/password@service_name.

Oracle Online Backup through EMC Networker - RMAN Script

Hi,
For taking online oracle backup through EMC Networker, we configure the RMAN script to connect to the target database, create the media channels, backup format etc. The password for the sys or rman user entered in the RMAN script is in clear-text format.
Due to security reasons, I don't want the passwords to be entered in the RMAN script. Is there any option for configuring RMAN script without mentioning the username/password to connect to the target database ?
Thanks & Regards,
Shreejesh.

When you have to connect remotely to RMAN, you cannot hide the password, you can only define very restricted access for the script itself. Remote OS authentication will not work, because the target db user needs SYSDBA privilege, which cannot be granted to an externally identified user.

Create Data Guard Using ASM Managed RMAN backup

we have an oracle database 11.1.0.7 working on Windows server 2003 (64bit). The storage in ASM managed (same 11.1.0.7). Our total database size is 4TB.
I will have to create a physical standby database (Data Guard) of this instance. Now I am having issues on how to transport my RMAN backup pieces (which is also ASM managed).
I cannot do an over the network RMAN backup because it will take months to complete.
We have external 4 hard disks (2 TB each). But my RMAN backup pieces are ASM in format.
Any ideas on how to easily create a data guard in this set up.

can you provide us any clear steps....Hope you asked for Restoring from backups.
1) Prepare PFILE and put in nomount status.
2) Restore standby controlfile

3) Mount controlfile
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
4) Restore database.
If you are restoring into another diskgroups, then use as below.
RUN {
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '+Dg1/....';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO "+Dg1/...';
RESTORE DATABASE
If same diskgroup you want to use then, just give RMAN> restore database;
After successful restore

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:

I am trying to restore this backup that is on tape (EMC Networker) to a different node. I can do this outside of Networker without any problems. However, when I try to get the backup from tape I have this issue:
1. initPROD.ora is created and modified accordingly on a new server
2. Export sid, startup nomount on new server
export ORACLE_SID=PROD (on this new server)
*rman target /*

I cannot seem to pass this error. This error indicates that the db has to be either mounted or DBID set before the restore of teh controlfile.

Edited by: rysalka on Feb 28, 2009 8:35 AM

Do a list command to see if the controlfile backup is on tape.
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
I suggest you to read the manual of EMC Networker or call EMC on how to restore the database to another node. I am using Veritas Netbackup, it may be similar to EMC Networke for your reference. There are a few things that need to be followed when you restore database to another node:
1) set DB_ID, which you have done
2) set NB_CLIENT (in your case NSR_CLIENT) to the primary node from where backup was taken
3) configure the backup server to allow redirect restore between the two nodes.
Hope this helps.

Rman duplicate vs staging area vs network mount location

Which option would put the least amount of load on the network.
Thanks.
Running version 11.2.0.1 on Windows Server 2003 R2

Fair point. You cannot yet compress the database with FROM ACTIVE DATABASE. So the staging area would be better if that is your concern. But in any event RMAN is the way to go as mseberg stated. Using a network mount is pretty much the same as FROM ACTIVE DATABASE, it is all going over the network if you are just going to copy the files. But putting the compressed RMAN backup into the network mount area so that you can access it at the standby site will do both for you then :^)
I just find the FROM ACTIVE DATABASE the easiest (I'm lazy) and people have been berating us about having to have lots of extra disk space in both places.

RMAN backup and restore in network

Hi,
I have already did cold backup of database using RMAN in the same disk on a linux OS. It was successful.
Now i want to do the same backup in a different disk on a another system. Both the systems are in same network.
Please help me

You can name the NFS mount point anything meaningful.
In your RMAN Backup script, you would use the FORMAT clause to specify the location where the backups are to go to.
For example, if the filesystem from linux2 is NFS-mounted on linux as as /NFS_backup your RMAN command would be
BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT '/NFS_backup/%U';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL FORMAT '/NFS_backup%U' DELETE INPUT ;Look up the syntax of the formatSpec in the Backup and Recovery Reference for formats other than %U. %U generates a Unique File Name.

RMAN and EMC Networker

We have just purchased EMC Networker to work with RMAN. We have about 25 databases, where we have configured a recovery catalog on a separate server. We are planning to run RMAN remotelly from this server, rather then locally for each of the 25 databases. I have 2 questions:
1. Does it makes sense to do that, to run RMAN from the remote location on the server where recovery catalog is located?
2. My understanding is that once RMAN commands are issued, Oracle starts a backup where it reads the appropriate database file, creates backup set and passes it to Networker Oracle module. Where is this backup set created? Can it be created in the Flash Recovery Area (so backup to disk first) and then backup this area to Networker? Does it make sense to set up FRA if we are using Networker?
Thank you!

1) There are version dependencies between the RMAN components, but apart from this you can run the executable from everywhere. This is often done from a centralized location.
2) It's a common strategy to first backup to disk (and FRA is the recommened location) and then to backup the FRA to tape via RMAN. That means performance advantages and your first backup stage is independent of 3rd party functionality. But you have a second storage destination,which makes your backup/recovery strategy more reliable. Of course you also could backup directly to tape, if you don't have enough disk space (and you don't want to invest in it).

Rman and legato networker

I have an installation of oracle 8i on AIX, and legato networker 6.1.1.
I need to link the legato networker 6.1.1 to oracle so that I can trigger rman backups.
The liblsm.a provided in the installition cd of oracle is for version 5.5 as documented in the installation notes for AIX. What must I do for legato 6.1.1 ?
Thanks for your help

A "restored" controlfile can be from either of
a. An RMAN Backup (ie a backup created by a BACKUP CONTROLFILE command in RMAN or CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP)
b. A manual / scripted Binary Backup (one created with the SQL command "BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO filename")
c. A controlfile recreated from a script (eg where the script was generated by the SQL command "BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE ")
In the first two cases, the restored controlfile also contains information about RMAN Backups made as of upto the point of the controlfile backup . Therefore, even in the absence of an RMAN Catalog, such a controlfile can be used to issue RESTORE DATABASE commands -- it can only restore from backupsets that it knows -- backupsets that were "registered" into the controlfile before the controlfile backup was made.
In the third case, since the controlfile is recreated afresh, it has NO "knowledge" of database backups (backupsets). A simple "RESTORE DATABASE" cannot be used. Either backupsets must be re-registered into this controlfile with the "CATALOG" command OR an RMAN Catalog must be used (as the Catalog has information about Database Backups and the names of the backupsets containing these backups).

RMAN and Networker

Hi,
I am using Oracle10g database with Networker for RMAN backup on the tape.
When I run scheduled oracle backup (using Networker client) I always have names of the Save Set(on Networker) like this:
*/home/oracle/scripts/rman/backup_level0.rman* for every backup peace in control file.
But, when I do manual Oracle Backup with Networker using RMAN I have names of the Save Set like this:
RMAN:orcl_48_1gkebssm_1_1 for every backup peace in control file.
Is there any way to have Save Set names like with the manual Oracle Backup, not with the name contains (backup_level0.rman)?

Rman Backup Over The Network

Hello to EveryOne,
My Oracle Database is on Windows 2003 server.
I m taking the backup of database from its Standby with RMAN
and stored it on standby server site
but now i want to do the blockrecover of datafile in production DB.
May I recover it over the network on production site from standby storage
If yes plz Tell me how i can do it
Thanx

Look, when you ask a question, you always specify all applicable information upfront, so people don't have to tear it out of you.
I know for a fact most DBAs posting here exactly want to do nothing at all (except for sitting with their shoed feet on their desk waiting until the replies come in)
and invariably end their posts with grammatically incomplete and incorrect sentences like
'what will be possible cause'
mimicking the English of the owner of the Quick-E mart in the long-running cartoon series 'The Simpsons'
For RMAN and Samba there is note 557057.1 on Metaclick, and if you have no access to Metaclick, I'm sorry.
So far, I have been misused to look up information you could have looked up easily. Just because you are too lazy.

Explanation:
If you are using a solution with RMAN and networker SBT library, combined with networker scheduler you can encounter this issue. Networker scheduler, only supports configure your backup using "root" user to execute backup script.
In some versions of S.O. root user uses a proxy user "daemon", and when finsh backup it does not have permissions to close de file, dont closes the lock over the file and lose the header.
Soluction:
In environment variables sectios of networker shell script, confirure variable ORACLE_USER=<so oracle user> to ensure that networker execute su - oracle to execute rman.
I hope this can help someone!

This is not a Oracle error. Do you check the environment? There are package lost in the network?
