Recovery problem thru RMAN

for the first time, I decided to use RMAN, took fullbackup thru rman twice then I deleted my controlfile, datafiles and SPfile, now I don't know how to recover them because I am not even able to connect to catalog database.
can somebody tell me how to recover the database in this situtation, I have the backup intact.

What version of RMAN are you using? What version is the target database? What command are you using to connect to the RMAN catalog?
You can still connect: "rman target / nocatalog" - this will use the current controlfile for the database and not the recovery catalog. From then it should be possible to run something like "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP".
We'd need more info to help!

Problem with RMAN incomplete recovery

Oracle Version: 9i
Operating System: Windows 2000
I have a problem with RMAN incomplete recovery until sequence.
According to my database structure ............
SQL> SELECT GROUP#,SEQUENCE#,THREAD# FROM V$LOG;
GROUP# SEQUENCE# THREAD#
1 14 1
2 13 1
3 12 1
I took the backup of backup of full database using RMAN and i am trying to recover like this:
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 7 THREAD 1;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
BUT i am getting a message saying there is no backup of DATAFILE 1,2,......10 to restore although my database is in archivelog mode and i took a backup.
Yachendra

Please consult v$backup_datafile.
It will tell you when the file was backed up.
RMAN will always search for a datafile backup prior to the logsequence or whatever is limiting the incomplete recovery.
Likely when you made your backup Oracle was already past sequence 7.

Problem with RMAN on Oracle8.1.7 on Redhat Linux 6.2

Hi, does anyone who is using Oracle with the configuration listed below having problems running RMAN?
- Redhat 6.2 with kernel upgraded to 2.2.16-3
- Oracle 8.1.7 EE for Linux
I don't seem to be able to start RMAN even though I have enable LARGE_POOL_SIZE in the parameter file.
Whenever I type rman at the prompt, it just hangs!
If I issue rman catalog rman/rmancatdb, it will return with an error saying can't connect to catalog.
I got these messages when creating the recovery catalog for the 1st time.
I suspect its the rman executable that is playing pranks with me. I even issue "relink all" and still can't run rman.
If anyone know a solution to this please reply. Thanks.

Hi there,
Its funny...I found a solution to my problem from oracle metalink.
if anyone face the same problem you can see the solution here.
The solution is....check your PATH in .bash_profile
Make sure the $ORACLE_HOME/bin is specified before the $PATH so that it can call the right Oracle rman executable. This is becoz Linux has a command by the same name rman.
The Oracle metalink explanation is below.
On typing rman at the command prompt, the process goes for a hang. The rman utility
is not invoked nor there is any error message displayed at the prompt.
If the user types rman -h , then the following error message appears on the
screen:
rman
[-f <ASCII|roff|TkMan|Tk|Sections|HTML|SGML|MIME|LaTeX|LaTeX2e|RTF|pod>]
[-S(ource of man page passed in)] [-F(ormatted man page passed in)]
[-r <man reference printf string>] [-l <title printf string>]
[-V(olume) <colon-separated list>] [-U(RLs as hyperlinks)]
[-b (show subsections)] [-k(eep head/foot)]
[-n(ame of man page) <string>] [-s(ection) <string>]
[-p(aragraph mode toggle)] [-t(abstops spacing) <number>]
[-N(ormalize spacing, changebars)] [-y (zap hyphens toggle)]
[-K (declare that page has no breaks)]
[-d(iff) <file> (old version of page source to incorporate)]
[-M(essage) <text> (included verbatim at end of Name section)]
[-R(ebus words for TkMan)] [-C (enable Tcl/Tk formatting)]
[-o (no op)] [-O <arg> (no op with arg)]
[-q(uiet--don't report warnings)] [-h(elp)] [-v(ersion)]
[<filename>]
Solution Description
Find out which rman utility is invoked by typing ,
'which rman' at the command prompt.
Ensure that the correct utility is invoked from $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Explanation
In linux, there is a OS utility called rman. This utility is used for formatting
purposes.This resides in the /usr/bin directory.
If the ORACLE_HOME is not set properly or the PATH variable contains ORACLE_HOME/bin
at the end instead of beginning, then the rman utility provided by oracle is
not invoked.Also, no error message is thrown out, since there is another utility
by the same name.
When the environment variables are properly set, then the correct utility is
invoked from the $ORACLE_HOME/bin
Good Luck to whoever needs this solution.

Troubleshooting System Recovery Problems

A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

How to estimate recovery time from rman backup

how to estimate recovery time from rman backup?
The database is of size 800GB.
the approximate time to backup is 8- 10 hours.

"Recovery time" is : RESTORE DATABASE time + RECOVER DATABASE time.
RESTORE can be done
a. in parallel with multiple channels if your backup was created as multiple backupsets
b. using incremental backups
c. whether the backups are on
i. disk
ii. tape
Alternatively, if you have a Recovery Area with an Incrementally Update backup of the database, you can SWITCH DATABASE almost immediately
RECOVER depends on
a. how many archivelogs (in terms of size, not necessarily number) need to be applied
-- this depends on
i. transaction volume
ii. the "freshness" of the backups (how recent the backups are)
b. whether required archivelogs are available on disk (which can be the case if the database backup itself is a very recent backup and archivelogs since then haven't been deleted {whether they have been backed up or not}) OR whether they need to be restored from
i. disk backup
ii. tape backup

Syntax for full backup thru RMAN

hi all ..
i have oracle 11g installed on M5000, Solaris 10
i want to take full backup of my database thru RMAN
i have enter following on backup server
. .db/env
connect catalog rrkas/rr345
(connected)
connect target sys/root123@grid1
(connected)
RMAN> run {
allocat channel dev1 type disk;
backup database
format '/export/home/oracle/dumps/grid3_%t_%sp%p';
release channel dev1;
it started the job.On my dbserver file is created as per the format.
just want to ask, is it the right way to take full/physical backup? Is this backup enough to fully recover the files, in case a new RAC is added to the cluster?
thanks in advance.

If your database is running in ARCHIVELOG mode, this is not enough: you must backup archived redo logs for example with
backup database plus archivelog:Read about consistent and inconsistent backups in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmcncpt.htm#BABIHBBE and about archived redo logs backups in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmbckba.htm#i1006454

Is the recovery techniques for RMAN and user managed are different

Hi Gurus,
I want to know the exact difference b/w RMAN and user managed recovery.
Is the difference is too much or if we know the user managed recovery,can we do the recovery using the RMAN...

I'd suggest you to check the Oracle Documentation to find out the difference by yourself

RMAN has great advantages over the User-Managed techniques. RMAN uses it's own RMAN commands to perform backup or recovery, while with user-managed backup and recovery you use SQL commands
By knowing the main backup and recovery concepts, you can perform both

Oracle 9i TEMP tablespace backup problem using RMAN!

Oracle8/8i whole backup is ok for our backup software(using RMAN without RC database), but for Oracle 9i, I get following error messages when backing up temp tablespace.
1. RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
2. RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TEMP"
I check some views of Oracle9i, and know some changes happen for temp tablespace in 9i, but how to deal with this problem. Any idea, please!

In 9i RMAN does not restore temporary datafiles. Instead, you should create them after your restore. I believe that Oracle is going to make a change to this in the next release of 9i and have RMAN create the temporary files. You can view the temporary datafiles @ v$tempfile.
I believe RMAN doesn't restore temporary files because they are locally managed and not in the control files. RMAN reads the controlfile of the target database to obtain info about backups, datafiles, etc.
Hope this helps.

HP G56 System Recovery Problem after removing disk 4 black screen

hi everyone
this is my first time, im helping my nextdoor neighbours laptop hp g56,

The message means that your internal hard has been damaged. This message always comes up when the file system is corrupted. I suggest to remove it, connect the hard drive into a different computer as an external drive (use usb caddy), perform a backup if possible and the format the hard drive and restore the factory settings. I'm afraid that you have to reformat the hard drive, a checkdisk scan won't help..
The error message means that the Boot Sector is corrupt or has been damaged. It does not mean that the hard disk is damaged.
This is a fixable issue. There are a few command line tools that can be used.
You will need to make an appropriate version (32-bit / 64-bit) of the Windows 7 repair disc from a working Windows 7 installation. You will need either a USB or CD to create your rapair CD/USB. Follow the instructions on this video to create the repair installation of your choice..You will will be using the manual boot sector repair that is described in this video to repair your Windows 7 Boot sector. Use the Windows 7 repair disc or repair USB thumb drive that you created earlier to accomplish the repair.
