Problems doing an active Database duplication through RMAN

Hi,
I'm trying to do active Database duplication through RMAN (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmdupdb.htm#).
My OS is Sun Solaris 5
Oracle version: 11gR1 Database on a 11gR2 Grid.
I'm receiving the error
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/sys@rac402
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections
I'm seeing the listeners are in blocked state as mt auxiliary Database is in nomount state.
Service "rac40" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "rac40_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
If I connect directly, I'm able to connect ("connect auxiliary / " after setting ORACLE_SID)
But active RMAN is saying
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 06/18/2012 01:37:14
RMAN-06217: not connected to auxiliary database with a net service name (I don't know why Oracle is so specific in connecting through net service name only!!!)
So, how could I move forward?? any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance.

CSM

Active database duplication v.s. backup based duplication

I would like to get some advice from forum that comparing active database duplication with backup based duplication. Which one could do better in performance?
In Oracle 11g, DBA can use RMAN DUPLICATE to clone the database either on the same host or on the remote host. Using RMAN DUPLICATE has two methods:
1. active database duplication -- this is connect to TARGET instance and Auxiliary instance. No backup needed and RMAN will duplicate source database to auxiliary database. This sound very good and save a lot of time if your database is big one (over a couple of TB). This method rely on network and on production database (target DB). It will affect production database performance a lot.
2. backup based duplication - this is to RMAN backup target database, then either physically move backup set to remote host, then connect to taregt and auxiliary to do duplicate. Or without connecting to target, but connect to catalog and auxiliary to do duplication , or don't connect to catalog and only connect to auxiliary with backup location to do duplication. This is called targetless duplication. This method sound cheaper in cost. So if I have a production DB with the size over 4 TB. We are using NAS storage. When I RMAN production DB to a location on storage, can I keep backup set there, then on auxiliary host to mount to that location, then RMAN duplicate database with backup location. In this way, I don't need to physically move backup set from target to auxiliary.
I would like to hear from you. What is pros and cons of different RMAN duplication methods. Thanks.

#1 has better performance, I have seen no impact on a 2T source database using 4 channels (takes approx. 4 hours.)

Creating a duplicated database from active database

I'm having problem trying to duplicate a database from a target database (PROD) to the auxiliary one (AUX).
This is what I've configured:

Duplicate from Active database

Hi,
I have RAC primary database running in 11.2.0.3 with linux 5(dc). We also have configured RAC cluster on DR site recently.Now we need to create stanby database on DR site.
For this is have following doubts
My database size is 6TB(from dba_segmnets) and total is 14TB(from dba_data_files)
1) How duplicate of active database works internally? Does it copy the exact file to standby site for example copy datafile(which is of 5GB in size) and send it over to standby over network?
2) Both primary and standby sites are in different states, so i was thinking to backup the primary database first to tapes and then courier tapes to dr site and then finally restore and recover standby.
I have doubts in above approaches which should i implement. I think active database duplication will skip a)backup time b) courier time. Is that correct?
However if my database size is 14TB and using 1st method, does it send files to dr worth of 14TB size?

I am working on active database duplication and has below issue. Can any one help me on this?

Hello;
Script has to be run from auxiliary.
Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@recover2 auxiliary=sys/@reclone
Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Feb 22 14:50:31 2012

connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.

RMAN restore from active database, ASM

I'm attempting to refresh a stage database from a prod database using RMAN restore from active database. Both are on ASM. After working through various hurdles, I've got one issue I'm a bit stuck on. I've got a handful of data files that do NOT have OMF names (ie MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx instead of MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx.351.714779777) and these are failing when I do the restore. The syntax I'm using in RMAN is as follows:
duplicate target database to dwstage
from active database
spfile parameter_value_convert 'dwprod','dwstage'
SET DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE'
SET LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE';
The error message I'm getting is this:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 04/21/2011 13:26:24
ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server
continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run
Normally from what I've seen/read this error can be traced back to needing to pre-create the directories for the controlfiles etc, but since 90% of the datafiles copied correctly...
Any suggestions as to a way around this, or am I going to be forced to restore from a backupset?

This fails saying that "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections" which is quite normal given that the listener is havig a handle in BLOCKED state for this AUXDB as it is in NOMOUNT state.
Could you please help me on how to proceed?
One option can be to create the controlfile manually and mount the instance before doing the duplicate. I hope Rman can continue from there.
Another option is to go for backup based duplicate.
Is there any other way to go?
Provide static registration on AUXILIARY side for your auxiliary instance and try again.For example change listener.ora file as
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = AUXDB)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <auxiliary host/ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)And restart listener on auxiliary host then try again

Pl do not post duplicates - Issue in configuring Standby Database from Active database in 11g by RMAN

RMAN 11gR2 DUPLICATE TARGET FOR STANDBY FROM ACTIVE DATABASE - Issue -HELP

First question.
Can primary and standby database have the same SID name?
As I recall it is yes.
I believe they must have different GLOBAL or DB_UNIQUE_NAME?
Anyway, RMAN I believe is telling me it is having problems copying control file on first and dies.
Permissions Issue on STANDBY machine?

Hi,
Permissions Issue on STANDBY machine?First problem I see is the sysdba password must be the same on both sides (target and auxiliary dbs).
From the documentation.
The source database and auxiliary instances must use the same SYSDBA password, which means that both instances must have password files. You can
create the password file with a single password so you can start the auxiliary instance and enable the source database to connect to it.Check all prereqs for the standby db duplicate here.

Rman clone duplicate database from active database

Hi All,
I read document saying that rman can duplicate database from active database (prod) to a remote server, so long as you configure listener and tnsname.
I am working toward it.
I met a problem, which is when i bring up auxiliary database in nomount mode, the listener service of that auxiliary database is in BLOCKED status, and throw out ora-12528 error when I rman auxiliary sys/pass@clonedb. Isn't nomount mode the mode which auxiliary db is supposed to be in?
(ora-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections)
Thanks,
milic

You may have run into the same problem like I did recently:
The (UR=A) clause in tnsnames.ora is intended to work with a dynamically registered handler so the use of SERVICE_NAME versus SID is preferred.
ORA-12528: TNS listener BLOCKED - trying to duplicate database
Also for further problems:

No archivelogs were purged or backed up and the current logs were retained....so im somewhat confused....i am not restoring from backup but running active duplicate...
should I re-run the command with:
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 64713 THREAD 1

This fails saying that "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections" which is quite normal given that the listener is havig a handle in BLOCKED state for this AUXDB as it is in NOMOUNT state.
Could you please help me on how to proceed?
One option can be to create the controlfile manually and mount the instance before doing the duplicate. I hope Rman can continue from there.
Another option is to go for backup based duplicate.
Is there any other way to go?
Provide static registration on AUXILIARY side for your auxiliary instance and try again.For example change listener.ora file as
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = AUXDB)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <auxiliary host/ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)And restart listener on auxiliary host then try again

Problem with duplicate target database from active database

Hi all,
i try duplicate database from active database
- I have von target and auxiliary the same SYS Password
- tnsping wogks in both directions fine
- sqlplus to target and auxilairy works from both server
- Metalink Solution 1056174.1 not help
but in the Rman log become this error:

set log_file_name_convert '/XXXXX/','/XXXXX/'
any Idea ?
Best Regards

Don't know if this will help, but I use the connect string below to connect, then run the command below. This is, of course, after the rman backup from the prod system has been copied to the flash_recovery_area of the aux database. All file paths are the same between the two systems. Works like a charm most nights. The local tnsnames file on the rman catalog server has working entries for @SDPROD, @rman and @SDSTB.
