Ora-00368

Hi,
i had a problem with my system and the blu windows screen appeared. When i started again the system, the database remained in the mounted but not started status. This is the kind of error that i receive if i try to start it.
ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block
ORA-00353: log corruption near block 313331 change 36924788 time 06/04/2003
13:23:09
ORA-00312: online log 4 thread 2:
C:\oracle\oradata\coge\redo03.log
I searched the metalink and found the following:
"Since you are not running in archive log mode, you may need to force the db open using a parameter to corrupt the redo logs"
Unfortunately i 'm new and i don't know what "force the db open using a parameter to corrupt the redo logs" mean and how to do it.
Please help me.
Thanks, Emilio.

Hello,
I could see from the description u have given, the database is shutdown in abort. So during next startup, it has to got for instance recovery. For that it needs either ARCHIVED log file or redo log files. Now since ur log files got corrupted, u need to go for time based incomplete recovery. But again for that u need archived logfile and backup. Do u have the same. Let me suggest u something, there is one parameter dbblock_cache_protect, set the value to true, this will not allow any corruption to be written in the redo or datafile. It will crash u r system, but u need not go for recovering the redo log files. U might need to drop the affected/corrupted redo log group and add new making db in noarchivelog mode. But this is precaution. Not the solution for the present situation.
Thanx

[DG Physical] ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block

Hi all,
I'm building a DR solution with 1 primary & 2 DR site (Physical).
All DBs use Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 on Solaris 64bit.
The first one ran fine for some days (6), then I installed the 2nd. After restoring the DB (DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY) & ready to apply redo. The DB fetched missing arc gaps & I got the following error:
==================

===================
I see that may be RFS get the file incorrectly so I ftp to get this file & continue the apply, it pass. Comparison the RFS file & ftp is difference. At that time, I think that something wrong with the RFS because the content of arc is not right. (I used BACKUP VALIDATE ARCHIVELOG SEQUENCE BETWEEN N1 AND N2 THREAD X to check all arcs the RFS fetched, there was corrupt in every file);
I restore the DR DB again & apply incremental backup from the primary, now it run well. I don't know what's happening as I did the same procedures for all DR DB.
Yesterday night, I have to stop & restart DR site 1. Today, I check and it got the same error as the 2nd site, with corrupted redo. I try to delete the arcs, & let RFS to reget it, but the files were corrupt too.
If this continue to happen with the 2nd site again, that'll be a big problem.
The DR site 1 & Primary is linked by a GB switch, site 2 by a 155Mbps connection (far enough for my db load at about 1.5MB/s avg apply rate).
I seach Oracle support (metalink) but no luck, there is a case but it mentions max_connection>1 (mine is default =1)
Can someone show me how to troubleshooting/debug/trace this problem.
That would be a great help!
Thank you very much.

It seems like you are doing restore using corrupted data/blcoks.
What db version are you using and did you use rman for backup ?

Hi Bilal,
1)take a trace of controlfile..the file will be in udump destination
SQL>alter database backup controlfile to trace;
*2)take the whole database cold backup...IMMEDIATLY*
3) bring another pc install the same version oracle software on it
4)copy datafiles,parameterfile.listener.ora,tnsnames.ora from the backup
5)Edit the parameter file and do the necessary changes
-control files new location
-database new name
-backgrounddump destination new location
-userdump destination new location
-coredump destination new location
And save the parameterfile as init<SID>.ora and copy it to ORACLE_HOME\database directory.
5)edit the trace file u got in step one and remove everything above
STARTUP NOMOUNT
and below
CHARACTER SET XXXXXXX
Changes should be done to paths of the datafiles and logfiles(as per physical structure of new database) change reuse to set ,new database name and noresetlogs to resetlogs in that tracefile as we are not using the logs from the source database.
EG:CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE *"DG9A"* RESETLOGS
and save that file as create_ct.sql
5)Create a oracle service using ora dim utility from command prompt.
c:\ oradim -new -sid SIDNAME -intpwd fbifbi -startmode auto -pfile d:\oracle\ora81\database\initSID.ora--->what ever the name u gave in parameter file and according to your environmetn
6)do the changes in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora as per the new machine
5)set oracle sid and log into sql
c:\set oracle_sid=sidname
c:\sqlplus “/as sysdba”
SQL>@create_ct.sql
then open database with
SQL>alter database open resetlogs;
check google if ur confused in creating control file and oracle service check for cold database cloning
Hope you will recover
Regards

Corruption in a log file

Elapsed: 00:00:00.01I'm wondering if I should clear the logfile, or restore and recover control file to change# 898385334 or a higher number. Please advise. I filled out a severity 1 request, but I haven't heard back. It has been nearly 3 hours. I'm thinking I need to restore and recover the control file, but I would like some expert advice.
If it matters:
Oracle 11.1.0.6.0
the corruption was caused by a full disk (Oracle completely filled one archivelog destination while another had 600GB+ free)
the backups were done with RMAN
a full restore and recover will take considerable time (probably a week or more by the time I get the data off of tape)
I have all the archivelogs
I have a recent control file backup
and I'd be happy to post any other information.

Flashback is not enabled. I think it was enabled when we were running this on a win32 platform, but it's not anymore.
I thought the logfiles were duplexed when the database was set up, but Unfortunately, logfiles aren't duplexed. It also turns out that the datafiles are fuzzy. They need recovery from the corrupted online redo log, probably past the corruption point. Once the database is online again, I'll duplex or multiplex the logfiles before letting the customer use it again.
The database is about 1.3TB. A full backup normally takes two days to complete, plus it would a few days to free up the space on the backup server. However, I have some much faster disk space now.
Oracle support has gotten back to me, but their support system is suffering from partial outages. We tried applying all the logfiles, then an open resetlogs, but it didn't work, due to datafiles being fuzzy. His recommendation was to do a full restore and recover, but that will probably take more than a week. Most of the data has been archived to tape, and I've been generating 100's of GB (in their bzip2 compressed backup form) of archivelogs working on restoring the database from a previous crash.
He said we could also try to force the database open, do a full export, create the database again, then import the data, and said it had a pretty good chance of working. Unless I come across some other option, we'll try that first, since by morning, I'll have somewhere around 1.8TB of extra disk space to hold the data.

How to recover from one corrupted redo log file in NOARCHIVE mode?

Oracle 10.2.1.
The redo log file was corrupted and Oracle can't work.
When I use STARTUP mount, I got no error msg.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, Yingkuan,
Thanks for the helps.
Actually, I have 10 redo log files exists. All of them are here.
I tried your suggestion:
alter database clear unarchived logfile group 4;
The error msg I got is the same as before:
SQL> alter database clear unarchived logfile group 4;

Compared to losing all the data, it is OK for me lose some of them.
I have more than 1 TB data stored and 99.9% of them are raster images.
The loading of these data were the headache. If I can save them, I can bear the lost.
I want to grasp the last straw.
But I don't know how set the parameter: allowresetlogs_corruption
I got the error msg:
SQL> set allowresetlogs_corruption=true;
SP2-0735: unknown SET option beginning "_allow_res..."
I have run the command:
Recover database until cancel
Alter database open resetlogs
The error msg I got is the following:

DB Corruption on RHES 3.0, OCFS, Firewire

I recently built a RAC cluster using OCFS and a firewire device.
due to a bug in dbca. i had to create the db as a standalone instance, then alter it to be clustered.
All is fine for 24 hours or so. then both instances bomb out with corruption errors in the control files and then redo logs.
I've rebuilt the db's twice, with the same problems. here is the message i get in the alert log after 24 hours or so :
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/racdb/bdump/racdb1_ckpt_17555.trc:
ORA-00201: controlfile version incompatible with ORACLE version
ORA-00202: controlfile: '/u02/oradata/racdb/control01.ctl'
Fri Mar 26 22:43:27 2004
The instance dies. When i re-start it :
ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block
ORA-00353: log corruption near block 100625 change 85664 time 03/26/2004
22:38:46
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: '/u02/oradata/racdb/redo03.log'
Anyone, any ideas ?

Thanks for asking Pavna. I was able to do it with the following steps :
FYI, See the following link for getting the DB running properly:
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml#RunningOracleInstallationOnRHELAS3
In brief:
1)Apply patches & set paths, libraries & compilers per the aforementioned tech note.
2) 9.0 install w/ no DB after patching Red Hat per
3) 9.2.0.4. upgrade, still no DB
4) Patches 3119415 & 3238244 w/ OPatch
5) dbca w/ a custom defined db per chap. 10 of the 10gAS install guide -- create SQL scripts (dbca whines about invalid create operator statements otherwise..)
6) run the scripts to create the db
7) run rdbms/admin/catldap to create the LDAP schema& packages (do NOT run oidca)
8) run repca to create an empty repository
9) run infrastructure install -- identity mgt. install
Note: I was able to succeed with this process, but in retrospect, it looks like I was using gcc296 instead of 323...
As we are trying to prep for an automated install compliant with Oracle's embedded license reqts, we have to get this process down to a complete lights out install. I will release the process/docs/scripts to OTN when we are done.

Current log group corruption

Check out whether u can solve this issue:
This is the error which I have faced in one of my clients place. The scenario goes like this
Because of some virus problem the server was abnormally shutdown. Next time when I tried to open the database I got this error:
SQL> startup

Total System Global Area 202447572 bytes
Fixed Size 453332 bytes

ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\NCRCL\REDO01.LOG'
The group happens to be the current group.

The error says at SCN 136535232 there is one log corruption. So what we decided is to recover the database until change (136535225):
Sql> Recover database until change 136535226;
After giving this when we tried to open the database we got this error:
Sql> Alter database open resetlogs;
Error: File 1 needs more recovery to be consistent , can’t open the database.
Note : The client hasn’t implemented any kind of backup strategy.
Could you please solve the issue

ORA-00353: log corruption near block string change string time string
Cause: Some type of redo log corruption has been discovered. This error describes the location of the corruption. Accompanying errors describe the type of corruption.
Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do incomplete recovery up to the indicated change or time.
