Will be very much thankful to you...In an emergency situation, you can try using the SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE.
Oracle is very clear on this point and says that this file should not be used for any purpose, but breaking this rule, we can have success and bring a consistent controlfile.
The snapshot control file is a copy of a database control file created in an operating system-specific location by RMAN. RMAN creates the snapshot control file so that it has a consistent version of a control file to use when either resynchronizing the recovery catalog or backing up the control file.
The Default Location of SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/snapcf_<DB_NAME>.f
If we recently used RMAN most recent controlfile will be my SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE.
See this example:
SQL> create pfile='/home/oracle/spfile.txt' from spfile;
SQL> !
oracle@aix:/home/oracle> cp /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_11203/dbs/snapcf_dbtst.f /home/oracle/control.ora
oracle@aix:/home/oracle> vi spfile.txt
"spfile.txt" 27 lines, 957 characters
*.control_files='/home/oracle/control.ora' ## Change this line
SQL> startup mount pfile ='/home/oracle/spfile.txt'

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

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' .
When I tried to restore control file. I am receiving following error:
RMAN> run {

3> restore controlfile ;

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>';

RMAN error when restoring controlfile from tape

Hi,
We have a Production database with instance name PROD.
We use Symantec Netbackup software to backup this database to tape library.
We want to test some recovery scenarios on a test server. So we want to restore the production backups from Tape to this test server.
We did the following:
Cloned the ORACLE Home to the Test Server.
Changed the db_name parameter to PROD and also set ORACLE_SID to PROD.
then we connected to RMAN and ran the following command to restore the control files:
RMAN> run {
set dbid 4155532403
set controlfile autobackup format for device type 'sbt_type' to '%F';
set until time "to_date('16/12/2012:10:13:37','dd/mm/yyyy:hh24:mi:ss')";
allocate channel t1 device type 'sbt_tape';
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=riysvbkp-001,NB_ORA_CLIENT=lh-erp';

RMAN command in Oracle VSS Writer for incremental/differential restore

Hello
Working on application to support incermental/differential backup via VSS ( Oracle VSS Writer )
Accoding to documentation about [Performing Database Backup and Recovery with VSS |http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/win.112/e10845/vss.htm]
Oracle VSS Writer does not perform default recovery of Archived redo log or flash recovery component. (This component is defined to contain only log or incremental files)
Nevertheless, the requestor application can invoke required RMAN commands.
What RMAN command is needed to be performed for incermental logs recovery? (This command is set in VssBackupComponents::SetRestoreOptions call and will be performed on PostRertore Phase by Writer)
I have tried RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL but did not succeeded .
Thanks

Let we describe my oracle VSS backup/restore proccess in details
Succeeded with full backup/restore only, but failed to to implement differential one.
Oracle VSS Writer support only three components for explicit selection for backup: Oracle Database and it sub-component: Flash Recovery Area/ArchivedLogs.
For full backup stage I explicitly select these components
Why not only Oracle database as ancestor of Flash Recovery Area/ArchivedLogs?
As oracle vss writer uses time stamp mechanism for incremental and differential backups,
I select all these components for full backup stage (to get previous timestamps for Flash Recovery Area/ArchivedLogs on differential backup phase. With explicit selection these components its timestamps will be added to backup component document. )
On diferential backup phase I select Flash Recovery Area/ArchivedLogs only using previous backup stamp(SetPreviousBackupStamp call), loaded from previous backup component document.
Restore perform sequentially:
1. Restore data from full backup phase (select all these three components for Restore), but do SetAdditionalRestore(true) for OracleDatabase component to avoid bringing Oracle database only after full restore phase
2. Restore data from differential phase (select Flash Recovery Area/ArchivedLogs for Restore only( even can't select Database as there is no record in backup component document about it on differential phase backup) and call SetAdditionalRestore(false) for these components
As Oracle Writer does not perform default recovery of this component. Nevertheless, the requester application can run required RMAN commands(via setRestoreOptions VSS call). I tried as RECOVER DATABASE as RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL commands , but failed to restore database.
If I restore full backup phase(without differential) only and call SetAdditionalRestore(false) for Oracle Database component, Oracle VSS writer restores data successfully and mount database.
How to restore differential part?

When to restore controlfile, rman is complaining database not mounted?

to restore controlfile, shouldn`t the database be in NOMOUNT status?
if yes, then why rman is complaining ORA-01507?
where I went wrong? Please advise.

it doesn`t. I tried long before this one.
the dilemma i am facing is that I need to recover to the time which was included in incarnation 2.
And to be able to reset database to incarnation 2, i need to startup MOUNT the database.
And once you startup mount the database RESTORE CONTROLFILE won`t work any more.
below is the standard procedure, documented on 10gR2 doc, but still, i am getting errors:
Why it is throwing errors? HOw can I fix?

I am not able to restore spfile from rman backup ;;;

Hi,
I would like to know few things
1. How are you setting the db_name ? you can set db_id at RMAN, how are you setting the db_name ?
2. Do you have any default init file at default location ? if yes, is the db_name parameter set correctly in that file ?
Since spfile is yet to be restored, you must set the db_name parameter correctly before you start spfile restore.This can be done with init file at default location which can even contain just one paremeter i.e db_name.

Cannot recover from lost of all the controlfiles without resetlogs?

Cannot recover from lost of all the controlfiles without resetlogs?
I have an Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) database(on RHEL5.0 system) DB10G with a recovery catalog database RCATALLOG. The RCATALOG database is synchronized with theDB10G database.
Then I lost all the current controlfiles and I make the following steps:
SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
[oracle@hostp db10g]$ rman target / catalog rman/oracle@rcatalog

Because I did not restore the the controlfiles from the backups, I do not need to open the database with open resetlogs.
Why I cannot open the database without resetlogs? Is any step wrong?
Thank you

Hi,
You restored the controlfile from backup but not the full DB. The Database files header are not sinchronized with your controlfile.
Follow the following steps:
1) Mount your Database and create a backup of the controlfile using:
SQL>ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;2) Modify the trace file and recreate the controlfile.
3) At this stage your database is mounted. You need to recover it.
SQL> recover database;
Media recovery complete.4)Open the database after recovery completes.
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.Done, any problem you can use this link for reference:

Thaks for advance !
Chara

After every resetlogs you have to take fresh backup.
It seems you have opened your database in resetlogs and your backup is prior to this resetlogs.So the controlfile is showing inconsistance with the other datafiles.

Oracle 8.1.7.4 - restore controlfile

Hi,
I am wanting to know if you can use the following command to restore a controlfile, if you don't use an rman catalog with Oracle 8i (8.1.7.4).
restore controlfile from '<dir>/cf_rman.bus'
If you can't do this, then I am wanting to know alternative ways.
Appreciate any suggestions on this.
Many thanks

I dont know what rman 8.1.7.4 does or does not support. But you can go for user-managed recovery, as is the case with most of oracle 8.
cp /backup/control01.ctl /oradata/control01.ctl
Then recover using: recover database using backup controlfile.

Why it automatically recover current redo log in RMAN command window?

Firstly, I restore controlfile and datafiles from a backupset.
Then when I recover database in RMAN command window like below:
RMAN> recover database;

FOR EXPERTS!! How to restore controlfile from tape using TSM??

Hi ,
I have a backup of my database (controlfiles, datafiles and archives) on tapes (TSM).
I'm doing some tests and i delete all my controlfiles.
Now i'm trying to restore the control file using the following:
RMAN>set DBID=1489198124;
RMAN>run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
restore controlfile from autobackup;
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 05/10/2007 16:25:30
RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
The autobackup is OFF now (i will put this ON later and become a production enviroment).
How can i get the controlfile backup from tape. I have this backup on tape made by RMAN using TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER.
Tks,
Paulo.

This is the command:
run {
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
backup current controlfile;
This is my backups!!!

Restore controlfile,database(PIT) from backups(non-defualt location)

Hi,
Below is the script i m using to do db point-in-time recovery. But the problem is the backups was taken in a non-defualt location and i want the restore and recovery to be happened from there. Mostly facing issue with controlfile recovery. Just don't know how to tell RMAN that my controlfile rman backup is in non-defualt location '/fulldbbackup/'
backup Script

        allocate channel ch1 device type disk ;
        backup database TAG = 'DR_test_backup' format '/fulldbbackup/%D_RMAN_DATAFILE_BACKUP_%U.bak';
        sql 'alter system archive log current';
        backup archivelog all delete input TAG = 'DR_test_backup2' format '/fulldbbackup/%D_RMAN_ARCHIVELOG_%U.bak';
     backup current controlfile TAG='DR_test_backup' format '/fulldbbackup/%D_RMAN_CURRENT_CONTROL_BACKUP_%U.bak';

You can restore control file by specifying the path explicitly.
-- In the auxillary server
Make sure you have the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the pfile. The control files will be restored to this path
*.control_files='+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control01.ctl','+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control02.ctl','+LMNPROD_DG01/lmnprod/lmnprod_control03.ctl'Create spfile from pfile. Then
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup nomount
SQL> show parameter spfileStep5. Restore Control file
The below command will create all the 3 control files mentioned in CONTROL_FILES parameter in the spfile.
$ rman target /
restore controlfile from '/path_where_bkp_piece_is_stored/RMAN_CURRENT_CONTROL_BACKUP_0mnbvhlq_1_1.bak';After restoring the control file and mounting the DB , you can use CATALOG command to catalog backup pieces
