Recover database oracle 9i Solaris 9

I am trying to recover my database. I get this error:
SQL> recover database;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
Pls assist.

I supposed that you recover database using backup control files.
So you should to use the following
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

    That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
    Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.
    Your post is locked.
    Your duplicate post that you placed into the Audit Vault forum space has been removed (it had no responses).

  • Migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g Solaris Platform

    Hi DBAs,
    Thank you very much all of you, you helped me in RMAN Duplicate Database, There was a problem in my backupset and now it has been resolved.
    I have now following task.
    I want to migrate Oracle 9i Database to Oracle 10g ASM, both are on Solaris platform. Please provide me step by step solution. I have very big Database about 250G Database.

    In the "Complete checklist for manual upgrades to 10gR2" is written:
    PREREQUISITES
    =============
    + Install Oracle 10g Release 2 in a new Oracle Home.
    + Install the latest available patchset from Metalink.
    + Install the latest available Critical Patch Update.
    ... so "Install the latest available Critical Patch Update" step is that for the Oracle 10g database Oracle Home or Oracle 9i database Oracle Home ? I think that is for the 10g database/ Oracle Home ...
    after applying the CPU pacht there is some "Post Installation Instructions":
    3.3.5 Post Installation Instructions which demande a connection to the database:
    3. For each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and run catcpu.sql as follows:
    cd %ORACLE_HOME%\CPU\CPUJan2007
    sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    SQL> STARTUP
    SQL> @catcpu.sql
    SQL> QUIT
    My question is ... If I want to upgrade a 9i database to 10g and I apply this CPU before the upgrade is done (to 10g Oracle Home), how could I connect to an instance which is not present to run this script ? ... is this step mandatory or is optional ?
    Thanks,
    P.

  • How can I install Oracle Database 10g for Solaries (SPARC) from the console

    Dear Forum Members,
    In my office, I have to installed Oracle Database 10g for Solaries (SPARC). But I have to do it without DISPLAY Monitor.Is it possible install it by remote login to this server using response file (silent mode) or something like that?
    If yes. Then How?
    If anyone have the exact solution, then I need your feedback. I shall wait for your reply.

    How to install Oracle software remotely?
    Remote Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
    If you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
    For example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
    1. Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
    2. Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
    3. On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
    4. On the source machine, login as a user.
    5. On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
    6. Become root user by typing: su (don’t use -)
    7. Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps –ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
    8. If not then do the following: # mkdir –p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    9. # mount –F hsfs –r cdrom-device /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    10. Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share –F nfs –o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    11. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    12. If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd –a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
    13. If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
    14. If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
    15. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    16. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
    17. Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name –l user (not root)
    18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
    19. Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name ,then Skip to 24.
    20. If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing the following commands.
    21. # mkdir /remote_products
    22. # /usr/sbin/mount –F nfs –r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name /remote_products
    23. # cd /remote_products
    24. Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
    25. Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer (or whatever the installer name program is).

    My database died with an internal error and so far I can restore it from within RMAN with no problem. When I execute "Recover database", I see the following:

    I also tried to restore and recover to 08-Apr-04, the day before it crashed. This can be done successfully but I still cannot open the database.
    The error says I need to used RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS. I followed but the database still refused to open.
    What should I do to get the database back online? I am not DBA trained and hence kindly list me the steps to follow.
    Is it possible to start without the undotsb01.dbf and then rebuild it? What would I lose by doing this? Any alternatives?
    Thank you very much!

    Bad news.. I forgot to turn off my cron jobs last night and it seems that my backups were overwritten. I cannot restore back to 08-APR-04 as it reported RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile found to restore.
    Any way to resolve the undotsb01.dbf problem so that I can startup my database again?

  • Recover database to new server problem

    Hi all,
    I'm running a production 10.2.0.4 DB in archivelog mode on Solaris 10.8. I used RMAN with a recovery catalog to execute the stored script:
    run{sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup incremental level 0
    database archivelog all delete input;}
    I copied the rman files and spfile to a test server with the same directory structres. No Problem.
    Using "rman target /" I started the database in nomount and restored the controlfile from backup and mounted the database. No Problem.
    Still within the RMAN session, I restored the 1TB worth of datafiles. The restore completed, no problem.
    I then issued the command, "recover database;" PROBLEM, RMAN said datafile1 "System.dbf" needs more recovery to be in a consistent state.
    WHY? I issued the commands, "alter system archive log current;" and "archivelog all delete input" in my script.
    Why does it need the next archivelog to be consistent?
    I was under the impression that all I need to recover a database with rman was the output files from RMAN.
    I copied the next archivelog over and in SQLPLUS as SYS I issued the command, " recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;"
    I canceled the recovery when it asked for the next archivelog and opened database reset logs.
    If I didn't have access to the next archive log how would I solve this problem?

    Your BACKUP should be executed as BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG. The "PLUS ARCHIVELOG" causes Oracle to issue an ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE at the end of the database backup so that the ArchiveLog generated gets picked up by the subsequent Backup of the ArchiveLog as well.
    Your first RECOVER DATABASE command was attempting a Complete recovery. Had you specified an UNTIL clause, Oracle would know that you wanted an Incomplete recovery upto the last available archivelog. Your second RECOVER DATABASE with the UNTIL CANCEL was an Incomplete Recovery.

  • Recover Database complains of version

    This is not technicaly a RMAN question but it seemed the most appropriate forum.
    I am testing some database recovery scenarios so I know what I'm doing if I have a real problem.
    I have a database that I have replicated to another machine and have current control files and archive logs, but am restoring an older set of datafiles to try and recover using the archive log information.
    The archives were created on another server, but I have tried to mirror that install on a nother system. I have restored the control and archive log files from a more recent "hot" backup and the datafiles from an older "cold" backup. When I attempt a manual or auto recovery I get the following error:
    ORA-00331: log version 8.1.0.0.0 incompatible with ORACLE version 8.0.5.0.0
    ORA-00334: archived log: '/var/opt/oracle/admin/ORCL/arch/arch_1_34963.arc'
    Both this instance and the instance that created the original files were backup up from are running 8.1.6.0.0
    Any ideas why I would be seing this? I did a similar test about a month ago with no problems, I can't figure out what is different. Here is a log of the session: Sorry if the formatting get's mangled)

    Dennis,
    What about the compatible parameter in the init.ora? What is it set to on the new host?

  • Unable to recover database after rman recovery and database open resetlogs

    I am running Oracle 10.2.0.5 on OpenSUSE 9. I have been trying to upgrade the database to 11g, through dbua. I was getting stuck at one point during the Oracle Server install and the upgrade failed and I was forced to restore the database to an earlier backup.
    Below is the current place that I am stuck. As you can see I opened the database multiple times and reset the logs. Now I am afraid that my controlfile and redo log backups are out of sync and i can't get them back on track. Before when I actually got the database recovered RMAN would immediately throw:
    RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
    RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
    OPA-00600: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: ...
    The database would open with ALTER DATABASE RESETLOGS but any query on non-system tables would fail and throw:
    ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of LCRS_DEV1.FACILITY_REF
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17069], [0x1158ED180], [], [], [],
    I hope I have not dug myself into too deep of a hole here.
    Here is the trace from my most recent attempt.

    Thanks for the reply Hemant. I have reset the database for the controlfile that I am using as backup and now I am not able to recover until the correct SCN. I am thinking that my recovery catalog is bad. If I mount with the current controlfile I have this list of incarnations:

  • Recover database in NOarchivelog mode :)

    Hi all. How to recover a database wich is in noarchivelog mode? B-)
    Suppose,
    I have 3 redolog groups (with two members in each, the second members are located on another drive ). When first redo log group was 1/2 full I took a full backup. Then there were 2 switches from first to second and from second to third. Now the currnet redolog group - 3 (just started). At this point we faced media failer. How to roll forward changes using backup + online redologs?
    Edited by: Junior Oracle DBA on Oct 16, 2008 1:53 PM

    Restore your database cold backup (excluding redo logs).
    Then issue this command :
    RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE
    provide the names of the last ACTIVE / CURRENT Redo Logs in the database when Oracle prompts for an ArchiveLog.
    When Oracle has finished recovery to a consistent point in time, it will return to the command prompt without any error.
    Now issue this command :
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS
    You would have a Complete Recovery.
    This is provided that Oracle had NOT cycled through all the Online Redo Logs since the time when the Cold Backup was taken. (If Oracle had cycled through all the Online Redo Logs, it would have overwrriten the oldest log because it wasn't in ArchiveLog mode).

    Hi,
    why you create trace file ? and if you did that then you must have trace your ctl file after adding the tablespace for your db.so your ctl file will have registered the name of newly created tablespace.and if you do not have backup of ctl file which dosent contain the name of newly created tablespace then how would you recover your tablespace ? if you want to achieve your disered thoughts then add the tablespace and then backup of your full db then shutdown your db and delete your ctl file and data file.now open your db in nomount mode then restore your ctl file and datafile.
    thanks
    Alok
