Oracle backup machine

hello gurus
we are looking to study learn and testing to have backup machine prepared, where we have os as redhat or linux and oracle 10g R2 ARCHIVE MODE.
for this, there are various options
1) duplicate database
2) standby database
3) oracle clustering
the purpose is if one machine get crashed, other start working automaticaly or little manual efforts(commands/wordaround). so duplicate database create one time and no moreupdate, so rest are 2 last options.
but i dont know what are pros and crons of each. what are the alternate mehtod of oracle database on any other machine. is it strictly bind to os and same version or not.
i am instrested to know standby database and clustering oracle, can some one guide and do we need to buy additional software/license for clustering and how best oracle can help us
also can someone advise any alternate solutions available?
regards
salim

hello gurus
but in regualar way what options are available in oracle to make backup database on another machine.
can some one advise and comments all possible way using oracle technology and others third party if any experience
i want to know pros and crons of duplicate,standby,clustering of oracle database among two machine, if 1 machine production goes down so other machine ready to up for users/clients
kind regards
salim

Sap Oracle Backup

Hi all it's very urgent
We are running 4 oracle 9.2 database in a single machine with sap r/3 4.7 on windows 2003 and even in a single drive now i am responsible for backup
which method is prefered one whether BRBACKUP or Manual OR scripting
what about scheduling cold and hot backup
here we have hardware resource constraint

Hi
For Oracle Backups the preferred backup method is RMAN. I suggest you read docs for more information. Try focusing on incremental backups as you suggested space constraints.

How do I use my backup machine to check what is available

I have permanently connected to my Mac laptop computer a Maxtor 500 GB backup machine so all my important file etc. are saved.
I have never tried to utilise and look at the content of this Maxtor machine - but would like to know how to do this, also, do you have any comments on
this machine and backup procedures generally.
Regards Jramble79

Choose File>Vault>Restore Library. Aperture will show you an alert that your old library will be renamed. If this is OK click restore. After the restoration is complete Aperture will prompt you to relaunch Aperture. After relaunch you'll see another dialogue box. If everything is OK click Recover Now. The next feedback you'll get is Recovery Complete. Click OK and you're done.

HT1178 i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?

i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?

You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

Windows on oracle Virtual Machine

Hi
We have a server x86-64.We have installed Oracle Virtual server on this server.
Now we have a requirement of installing Windows Operating system on oracle virtual machine.
is this possible?
I checked available virtual templates on oracle edelivery. but there was not any available for windows.
Thanks,
Message was edited by: dba88

Hi,
You can install windows on Oracle VM Server, but no template with windows.
- you should import the windows.iso file in the repository
- create a VM with the type HVM or HVM, PV Drivers ...
- Install a windows
I hope this can help you

Moving Complete Keynote with linked media to a backup machine

Hi all, I am using keynote for a major live event presentation. It's mostly HD videos with PSD photos as graphics. I've designed the show so that everything is linking to my media. Everything is working great except that I need to have this running on a parallel backup machine during the show. When I copy the media to a new drive and then open the project I can't figure out how to tell keynote where the footage now lives. I get a progress bar that stay's on forever. How can I do this properly? Do I need to embed the media on the secondary machine? The file size will be in the 8 gig or more range. If I have to will I have problems running this live?
Thanks

You should have thought about that before installing the SSD. Unfortunately when you have a configuration with more than one primary job, your backing up task becomes utterly more complicated. Now you need a mirror drive for both drives, and/or backups more than twice the capacity. Time to pair down the files you don't need frequently to some DVDs, or another drive*:

And I assume you are aware SSDs can't fully be erased?

SAP & Oracle Backup Integration

Hi,
Have Oracle 10g as backend for database & Legato Backup Software has been installed on the server. Could anyone please let me know that if i use DB13 for taking online & offline backups how would it integrate with the Legato Backup Software & is there any special licences required for integration with SAP. Hoping to get a reply soon...

Hi
For Oracle Backups the preferred backup method is RMAN. I suggest you read docs for more information. Try focusing on incremental backups as you suggested space constraints.

Oracle Backup tools

Hi Experts,
Plz guide me which is the best third party tool for backup & recover of database in Oracle and where can i get the trail version of this tool.
Thanx in Advance
Mani

Most people use RMAN nowadays, I don't think you need any other third party tools to do Oracle backup. Most storage vendor will try to make their tools to be integrated with RMAN rather than come up a new tool.
When it comes to backup/recovery of Oracle database nobody can do a better job than Oracle itself.

Thank you for the information. The link you have mentioned is about migration the environment of a machine to a VM. But i'm looking for migrating an Oracle Database 11g from a Physical Machine (Linux x86) to a Virtual Machine( Linux x86) created using Oracle VM. Can you help me out in this.
Thanks :)As far as I understand it this is not really VM related.
You have an existing linux machine .... uname -a ... with a partiocular OS and kernel and set of packages installed ....
And a guest VM running linux ... uname -a .... with hopefully the same/similar OS and set of packages installed, similar users, directory layout etc.
And you wish to get the Oracle (Classic RDBMS) home software cloned/migrated and an oracle database cloned/migrated.
There's a number of different senarios here ... can i help you out .... (the answer is I could but i dont have time).
The start point is good planning and careful notes if you are attempting to change any versions / layours etc.
You might have stages like (this is a top of head fagpacket and perhaps not best terminology):
- Install basic Linux software on VM guest.
- Install additional linux packages
- create groups, users, directories, system parameters etc.
- Create or clone oracle home.
- clone oracle database by eg RMAN or otherwise.
Different forums may help different stages if necessary.

How to do oracle backup,restore,recovery using php?

Is there anyone know how to do oracle backup,restore and recovery using php? any tips... is there any ways to do that?

Are you referring to performing RMAN backup operations via the OSB web tool? RMAN operations are managed, not via the web tool, but through RMAN command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM)

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB
indind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPSYSTEM_ind_ind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPComponent_ind_ind_ind_

rmation or press OK to terminate the installation.
Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path
