Persistent setting for rman in tape backup

Hi,
When your are going to take tape backup using RMAN utility, how can u control persistent settings with RMAN(show all). I meant how to set retention policy for datafile,controfile backup and archivelog as well.
And if i choose to take incremental backup how these things are changed?? Please help me on these issue as i have some confusion with this.
Regards,

Hi,
Can you please read following link: http://oit.scps.nyu.edu/~pallerm/11g/les_04_config_bu.pdf
Thank you

Am i missing the most basic setting for RMAN in RAC?

DB version: 10.2.0.4
We've set up a 2 node RAC environment. Everything is working fine (failover,...etc).Each node can 'view' other node's archive log destination from OS level.
ie. When you type
df -hboth nodes can see each other's location of archive logs.
When i was trying to take a test LEVEL 0 backup, i got the following error.

Am i missing some basic CONFIGURATION setting (persistent setting) here?

The archivelog is actually at

/u04/arch214/arch_603157736_2_47455.arcThe path is different. Can you check the filename in v$ARCHIVED_LOG ?
Apparenly, the log_archive_dest_1 parameter is different in the two instances.
Have you configured multiple Channels appropriately to connect to the two instances ?

RMAN restore from monthly tape backup

hello!
i have one more question regarding rman and tape backups: we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database, so all the information is in the control files. but for revision we need to save one full backup per month. in addition to the databases we need files from different servers etc. on this tape-backups. so we decided to keep one tape set per month in a safe place -> is it possible to restore a rman backup from this tapes, e.g. 3 years afterwards (on a different machine)? thanks.
bye,
christian

Hi christian,
Can you give more info?
As I understand it you do not want to use a recovery catalog ("we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database").
But if you store the rman backup info in the controlfile only you will limit the amount of rman information to your init parameter control_file_record_keep_time.
Do you make rman backups to tape directly using a MML or do you make rman backups to disk which than get copied to tape (OS backup)?

Tycho

Disk/Tape backup?

Hi, All:
We have a new system installed Oracle 8.1.6. Now we are considering the method of Backup/Recovery.
In our system 2 disks and 1 tape device can be used for backup. And I think there are 2 ways to use them:
1). 1 disk : archive log;
1 disk : backup using by RMAN;
1 tape : backup's backup
2). 1 disk : archive log;
1 disk : the copy of the archive log;
1 tape : backup using by RMAN;
I don't know which is better? which is common?(The data size is about 20GB)
Can anybody give me some advices?
Thanks.

All you need to do is take the backup file from FRA to tape.

Restore controlfile from tape backup without autobackup setting on

I am testing a scenraio of restoring control file if we loose all control files.
My RMAN settings for CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But, I have taken a backup of controlfile using 'BACKUP CURRENT CONTROL FILE' .

My question is, How can I restore control file from tape backup without CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting ON.
It sounds like, There is no way we can restore control file from tape backup if you've not set the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is ON.
Please advice

When all controlfiles are lost and a recovery catalog is NOT used, RMAN has no information , where to find the controlfile backup. It's not enough to specify the channel, such a channel could hold many different backups from many different databases. You have tell , which database and which backupset. Modify your run block:
SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';

Recovery window for tape backups

Hope someone can answer to my questions.
With RMAN you can maintain the number of tape backups that are needed for recovery purpose through the “delete obsolete recovery window” command. E.g. the command below ensures tape backups be kept for recovery within 31 days:
delete noprompt obsolete recovery window of 31 days device type 'SBT_TAPE';
Q:
1) If I use a disk area as pseudo tape area in my backups (through ORACLE.DISKSBT library parameter), I guess the above "delete noprompt obsolete recovery window" command would work on the pseudo tape area as well?
2) At my site the pseudo tape area is backed up to tape nightly through the system backup job, and the tape backups are kept for about 1 month by the tape system. To save space in the pseudo tape area on disk can I just set a small recovery window in the above DELETE command (say 1 day) , and relies on the actual tape system retention policy for oracle backups? How would this affect oracle’s ability to do recovery?
Thanks

1) I would never use a 'faked' tape as a permanent solution - only to test tape backup scripts - , as it slows down the backup/recovery process. From RMAN's point of view a pseudo tape works like a real tape, so all valid commands apply.
2) When you delete a backup, RMAN forgets it. RMAN is not aware of still available backups in the tape system, you have to recatalog the backups. That means overhead in manual maintenance and a source for possible errors.

Spfile restore from RMAN Tape backup to different server

Hi All,
First of all let me thank you to the forum from which I keep updating my knowledge on oracle.
I am having issues when trying to restore spfile from controlfile autobackup to different server. Problem and other details are below:
Target version : 10.2.0.2
Netbackup : 6.5.6
Taken the tape backup through rman on server ABC and trying to restore the spfile from controlfile autobackup to server XYZ. Tape backup has been taken today morning and trying restore now.
Both servers ABC and XYX have been added (as clients) to netbackup policy.
Below is the syntax I used for restoring spfile and getting error as mentioned.
RMAN> run {
2> set controlfile autobackup format for device type 'SBT_TAPE' to '%F';
3> allocate channel ch00 device type 'sbt_tape'

Not sure where I am doing wrong. The same can be restored onto same host (I.E ABC) without any issues .
Request your help and guidance.
Thanks,

I don't know whether you can restore to a different server. The easier way should be
RMAN> restore spfile to pfile 'YOUR_PFILE_NAME' from autobackup;
then copy this to the new host.
Check this link
restore spfile to another host
Hope this helps

RMAN with Netbackup - ALL Tape backups expired

Hello,
I am currently experiencing some issues between Netbackup and RMAN.
A bounce of the Netbackup server seems to have marked all our tape backups managed by RMAN as 'Expired'. This means RMAN can no longer locate any of the tape backups.
We have checked the rentention periods and the physical backups on the tapes and they seem to be ok. Therefore it would suggest a link problem between Netbackup and RMAN. We have tried bouncing the Netbackup servers again but this has not resolved the situation.
However sometimes the tape backups become available and but then become expired again.
I have also tried backing up to Tape since the bounce and the backup is successful, however 24 hours later it becomes expired despite Retention policy set to 4 weeks on both RMAN and Netbackup.
Please help!
Thank you

Hey;
I tried the delete obsolete; command initially. Admittedly, I didn't report that - so here's the output:
RMAN> delete obsolete;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command

As for the changing default device type: someone had mentioned that the default device type was disk so I changed it to tape, tried the command, failed, then switched it back.
Just to reiterate: I don't have a tape drive on this box; never did. I'm not sure how two tape backups could have gotten there in the first place.
The oracle version is:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
and the OS version is:
$ uname -r; cat /etc/redhat-release
2.6.18-128.el5xen
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
If push comes to shove, I can leave those two backups. There were a rather large number of them that I did successfully make go away. It just seems odd that I can't make these guys go away.
Thanks for the help; I appreciate it.

Steps and Docs - Automated Tape backup for LINUX OS

Hi
Currently we are using ARC7 tape (LTO) backup movement in which the product belong to firm CA for windows. We are not having the license to use it for the LINUX os.
In one of our environment we are planning to set up automated tape backup movement for the LINUX OS. (Database Backups such as RMAN and export) It would be great if you suggest few links or procedural steps to use which tape backups , how to configure, which brand, documents, what all procedural steps etc.

Volume Duplication Policy for RMAN Backups

Hi,
I wish to configure a volume duplication policy for RMAN backups. Both the source media family and duplicate media family are 'content managed' as per the documentation. However, the duplication policy 'trigger' is defined as if the media family is 'time managed', which does not seem to make sense in 'content-managed' media families used by RMAN.
Does anyone have any guidelines on how RMAN volume duplication can be set up so that my duplicates are valid?
Thanks

Yes. I understand. The reason I used time-managed volumes in the tutorial is that with time-managed volumes a duplicate may have different retention and rotation than the original. The procedure for time or content managed duplicates are the same.
A content managed tape may be duplicated to the same or different media family. If to a different media family, the retention would be same...since content managed but it could have a different rotation policy...if desired. For example, if you wanted original tapes left onsite but the duplicates to go offsite for "x" time, then create a new content managed media family and a desired rotation policy...associate that rotation policy to new media family and duplicate tapes to that media family with desired rotation policy. In that scenario, your original media family would have a duplication policy and possible a rotation policy. The new media family would just have a rotation policy.

RMAN Restore is asking for 3 days tapes in place of 1 day tape

Hi All,
I'm doing oracle disaster recovery through RMAN and VERITAS on Solaris machine. Version detail is as follows:
Oracle: 8i (8.1.7.4)
Veritas: 5.1
Solaris: 8 (5.8)
Script to restore and recover database
run {
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape';
restore database;
recover database;
Daily we are doing full RMAN backup (Level 0). I've restored the catalogs of veritas upto 16th Jan. Catalog Database (RMAN) is upto latest (16th). While restoring, its asking for 3 days tapes (12 Jan,13 Jan,14 Jan). Why it is asking for 3 days tapes and why not it asking only latest tapes that is of 15 th Jan. How can it possible for me to restrict it only one day and that is of choice means if I want to restore/recover until 13 then I should provide tape of 13th Jan only and If I want to recover upto 15th then I should provide tapes of 15th Jan only.
Regards
Rakesh

What do you mean by doing disaster recovery through net vertias ? what made this situtation to accour at your end ? And what are the techniques you are using to accomplish disaster recovery , by seeing your commands i believe it is just a simple restore and recovery .one more thing i like to ask is What do you mean by saying the you restored the catalog to 16th of jan ?

what is best configuration strategy for rman backup.AND BACKUP WITH RECOVERY CATALOG OR WITHOUT RECOVERY CATALOG
PLEASE TELL ME
Edited by: afzal on Feb 26, 2011 1:45 AM

For simply two databases, there really wouldn't be a need for a recovery catalog. You can still restore/recover without a controlfile and without a recovery catalog.
From this:
afzal wrote:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 days.I am assuming you want to keep two weeks worth of backups, therefore these:
alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=15 days;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 daysShould be:
RMAN> sql 'alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=22';
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14;22 would give you that extra layer of protection for instances when a problem occurs with a backup and you want to ensure that data doesn't get aged out.

Cloning DB on a different server from RMAN Tape backup

RDBMS version           : 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
Media Management Layer : Netbackup v7
I have done only backups to Tape. I have never done restore,recovery from Tape.
We have a production DB named NEHPROD running on server qualmh214. Every Monday morning an RMAN Full backup for NEHPROD is taken to Tape.
Production server : qualmh214        DB Name:NEHPROD
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman,NB_ORA_SERV=qualmh238,NB_ORA_SCHED=Daily';
backup database   FORMAT 'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' tag='NEHPROD_full';
}I need to create a Test DB in a different server (qualmh199) by restoring directly from NEHPROD's Full backup in tape .
From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?

From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?You have to allocate channels to tape & need to mention NB parameters as example below.
in RMAN script
ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64';
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=<server.com>, NB_ORA_CLIENT=<target.server>';
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?If the libraries are installed and you able to perform, you can go for either duplicate database or simple RMAN restore. You can mention other DB names also
Ex: duplicate target database to 'test';
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?You can mention TAG's if you are using RMAN restore.

The server is part of a protection group that is co-located, I am trying the backup not as part of a co-located set to see if this makes any difference.
Tape backups for other servers, which are part of the same co-location group, work fine and it seems to be just this one causing the issue.
I have seen a few other posts on the net referencing "WARNING MediaPool 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 does not exist." where people have similar issue with DPM crashing out but so far nobody seems to have any answers.
I am debating removing the protection group and trying to 'start from scratch' but wondered if anyone else had any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi,
Open SQL management studio and connect to the instance used by DPM.
Run the following Query against the DPMDB and see if it returns any rows, if so please provide the output.
select MP.mediapoolid, MP.PGSETID from dbo.tbl_MM_MediaPool MP
Join dbo.tbl_IM_ProtectedGroup PG on PG.ProtectedGroupId = MP.MediaPoolId
where PG.MediapoolId is NULL
and MP.PGSetId is not NULL
