Restore database validate command

Hey Guys..
Is there a way to attempt to run the "restore database validate" command specifying a different location for the backup?
Lets say i have a backup in the following location: C:\SimpleBackup
How can i run the restore validate command to that location instead of the default flash recovery?

We always use the :
set newname for datafile 1 to '/opt/dbsid/db01/system.dbf';
set newname for datafil 2 to '/opt/dbsid/db01/temp01.dbf';
to restore backup files to another location.
Is that useable here ?
Edit: I just re-read the question. Is the c:\simplebackup a destination to put restored files to, or is it the location of the rman archive ?
if the first is true, then the above can't be used.

RMAN Error - restore database validate

Hi all
I am trying to validate a full database backup taken on tape using 'restore database validate' command but for some reason this command spits out multi-page long PL/SQL code (below truncated output). I have searched all over for a solution but can't seem to figure out the problem.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi Sybrand
So here's the deal:
1) 'backup validate database;' is run before RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in datafiles or archivelogs.
If the backup validation discovers corrupt blocks, then RMAN updates the V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view with rows describing the corruptions.
2)
a- 'restore database validate;' is run after RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in backupsets.
b- 'validate backupset <n>;' is also run after RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in backupsets. The difference being you have to run it for each individual backupset as opposed to the previous option (2a), which loops through all existing backupsets.
I believe for now only option 2b is available for use in my case.
Cheers.

RMAN restore database validate

All,
I cannot seem to find anything in the Oracle documentation what the RMAN restore database validate checks for? Does it check for physical and logical corruption or do I need to validate the backup using logical statement to check for this?
I would appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction.
This is for Oracle 9iR2
Many thanks

Test Restore Database Instance from Cold backup

Hi - I have a customer who is using an Oracle database instance not in archivelog mode
currently, I have managed to persuade them to backup at least weekly using an RMAN cold backup.
Prior to my being allowed to do anything else they want to perform a test restore from the cold backup
I want to find a simple procedure to do this which will enable me to tick the box then hopefully I may be able to persuade them that Hot Backups are the way to go.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for this please?

Ah if only things were quite so simple - my hands are tied somewhat there isn't a second machine available at the moment so I was hoping to be able to run a test restore to the same machine !
No they do not worry about data in this situation - Oracle is used almost as a query engine maybe a very odd solution as the actual data is not really held within this oracle database but the resultant queries are!
Anyway I think I will just do a virtual restore using the restore database validate command then armtwist a couple of managers!
One of the areas they had difficulty with is that apparently they had archivelogging on but the rate of writing archivelogs was huge and it was affecting performance. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how to tune that problem!!

Difference in o/p in CROSSCHECK & RESTORE ARCHIVELOG VALIDATE

hi,
i m planning to restore and recovery from a backup(full hot Level 0) taken between '24.05.2012 11:41:00' AND '24.05.2012 12:03:07'; But when i run the crosscheck and restore archivelog validate there seems to be an extra archivelog backup piece reported in restore archivelog validate command.
Also there was 2 backups taken on same day but different time
LEVEL 0 ======> between '24.05.2012 11:41:00' AND '24.05.2012 12:03:07'
LEVEL 1 CUMMULATIVE =======> between '24.05.2012 12:29:46' AND '24.05.2012 12:35:59'

I m afraid if i execute the real restore command it will apply this extra archivelog from LEVEL 1 CUMMULATIVE BACKUP

Yes that is true,but my question is when i run crosscheck i have all the required archivelogs availiable (6 archivelogs) but when i execute restore archivelog validate why it give (6+1) archivelogs why not only those 6 from LEVEL 0 hot backup
i have clearly specified UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('24.05.2012 12:03:07','dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss')" in restore archivelog validate but still it also give me extra archive log backup piece from LEVEL 1 backup taken way after TO_DATE('24.05.2012 12:03:07','dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss').

Hi,
I think, that everything seems to be OK.

Validate command syntax

Hello,
I need to validate if a database has been backed up succesfully so I want to execute rman validates command.
I checked oracle manuals and I found validates command is a parameter of restore command:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10770/rcmsynta65.htm#86797
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10770/rcmsynta51.htm#85191
I already duplicated databases using rman, but I'm not sure about syntax for validating. Is the following code right if I want just to validate database backup?
rman rcvcat rman/rman@rman target sys/password@database auxiliary / cmdfile /home/oracle/restore_dup.sh
Where restore_dup.sh is:
run {
allocate auxiliary channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape';
allocate auxiliary channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape';
allocate auxiliary channel 'dev_2' type 'sbt_tape';
allocate auxiliary channel 'dev_3' type 'sbt_tape';
restore target database validates;
Note that...
- OS is HP-UX 11.00
- Database is Oracle 8.1.7
- I CANNOT recover anything as database I want to validate is a production environment.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carles

I never worked with RMAN 8.1.7 (only newer versions)
According the documentation you can validate only a backupset in RMAN 8.1.7:
- validate backupset <bs_number>;
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76990/rmansy50.htm#6148
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76990/preparer.htm#435378
The validation for the full DB in a new feature in RMAN 9i.

Hi,
I am working on test database for testing database disaster recovery.
1) i made full database backup by RMAN and ui also have archive log
2) i noted DBID and all folders of database
3)Turn on the Controlfile auto backup
4) then i drop database
5) then i follow all the steps , which include restoration of spfile and controlfile
6)After that when i have mounted database and in RMAN WRITING RESTORE DATABASE, it is giving following error.

some targets not found - aborting restore
Cause
Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action
The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list.

Restore Database to non-ASM Storage - Issue with Bigfile Tablespace

I have been testing a restore of my prod database that uses ASM (and oracle managed files) for storage to a different server and non-ASM storage. Oracle version is 10g EE. My database has one bigfile tablespace and it's datafile is about 250GB. The restore fails and it has something to do with the bigfile tablespace.
Here is the rman restore script:
run
set newname for datafile 1 to '/ora01/db/ehr/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/ora01/db/ehr/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to '/ora01/db/ehr/users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 6 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 7 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollohist01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 8 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 9 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 10 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 11 to '/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 12 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 13 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 14 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf';
set newname for datafile 15 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 16 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf';
set until sequence 60298 thread 2;
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
Datafile 11 is the datafile in the bigfile tablespace. Here are the weird things about the restore:
1. The restore output shows this:
creating datafile fno=11 name=/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set

restoring datafile 00010 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf
restoring datafile 00012 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf
restoring datafile 00013 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf
restoring datafile 00014 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf
restoring datafile 00015 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf
restoring datafile 00016 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf
Why at the beginning is it "creating" datafile 11? Then it doesnt even say it is "restoring" that datafile. Only restoring datafiles 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15, and 16.
When it creates datafile 11 it is only 26GB, that is much smaller than it should be according to v$datafile view on source prod database. Also even though it says it is creating datafile 11 as /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf it actually creates it as an oracle managed file at /ora02/db/ehr/EHR/datafile/o1_mf_apollolo_6crxyqs2_.dbf
After the datafiles are restored the "switch datafile all" command fails:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of switch command at 10/18/2010 13:58:37
ORA-19625: error identifying file /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
So my question is how do I get this database restored to non-ASM (and non omf)?

So I tried using a different scn with my "set until scn #####" then the restore created 2 datafiles. The datafile for apollolob and apollotab02.dbf. So I think I have narrowed the problem to be that I am not using the correct scn number so RMAN can successfully restore those datafiles and recreates them instead. How do I find the correct scn to use to do a successful restore of the entire database? I have seen different methods on the web, but cant figure it out. Ive used "select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;" and I also did "list backup of archivelog all" and used the latest sequence number. How can I find the correct scn to use so the entire database will restore?
Here is the output of "list backup":

I really do not know what is my problem and how to solve it. I hope you guys can help me. I'm under a big pressure to solve this soon.
My Operating System is: WinXP Pro
I'm using APEX 2.01
When I create the backup I use ARCHIVELOG enable
Things i try:
1. Install fresh oracle XE database, and restore
2. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog and restore
3. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo'.
4. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo', and execute: @?/sqlplus/admin/movelogs;
5. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo';, and change DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE to 20G;
NOTE: sorry for my english it is not my native language. and sorry for using a spanish version of the database.

Database Portability of restored Database in Production server

Hi All,
I have a query regarding database portability in Exchange 2010 server.
I have restored a Journaling Database which is ~ 350 GB and just wanted to check if i dismount the prod database which does not have any data in the DB and only journlaing mailbox is pointed to this DB , can i move restored DB .edb file to the production
server physical location and mount it, will the journaling account will connect to this restored database which i have copied. or do i have to run any command which will reconnect the mailbox.
BR/Deepak

Hi,
You can use the Connect-Mailbox -Identity -Archive cmdlet to re-connect an archive mailbox.
You can refer to the following article.

Use of Table Valued Parameter to restore databases

I'm a noob with table valued parameters. Not sure if I can use TVP for what I need to do. I want to restore/refresh multiple databases from arbitrary number of .BAK files. I can successfully populate a TVP with the needed
source information which includes:
Database name
File/device name (i.e., xxx.BAK file)
Logical data file name
Logical log file name
Now I want to create a stored procedure that contains Restore Database command like this:
   RESTORE DATABASE <@database name>
   FROM <@path and name of .bak file>
   WITH MOVE <@logical data file> TO <new path and file name>,
   MOVE <@logical log file name> TO <new path and file name>;
Can I replace those variables with the column values in the TVP? I'm not sure because all the stored proc examples I see simply insert rows from the TVP into rows of an existing table.

Yes, but you would need to run a cursor of your TVP:
DECLARE cur CURSOR STATIC LOCAL FOR
   SELECT db, path, logical_data_file, new_data_path, logical_log_file,
new_logfile_apth
FROM @TVP
OPEN cur

I need explanation about RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY;

After executing the command:
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY;
It finished with the following lines:
Media recovery start SCN is 1487308
Recovery must be done beyond SCN 1726503 to clear data files fuzziness
Finished restore at 2008-04-30:17:13:59
What does it mean "recovery start SCN is 1487308" and "Recovery must be done beyond SCN 1726503..." ?
I would like to restore/recover untill a SCN... but I don't understand if it means I must set a SCN between 1487308 and 1726503, or 1726503 is simply a starting SCN ...
Below there's my list of backup by file with SCN:
RMAN> list backup by file;

Yes, you're right. It's just what I wanted to know.
Does it also mean 1726504 is the nearest scn compared with the time I finished to complete that online backup ???
I mean... what should I do to restore just that backup without applying current available archived log and online redo log ???

Restore database to another host - I have only rman backup files

Hi all,
The PC where Oracle was installed is crashed.
I have only the RMAN backup pieces in other computer.
I want to restore/recover this RMAN backup to other PC.
I know the commands, restore database, recover database,
but I've always used these commands with rman into existing rman
user. Now, I don't have anything. I have only the RMAN backup files.
How can I restore/recover database to other PC using these files?
The steps are? create other database, create a rman user, register
the rman backup files in this new rman, and restore these files
in this new database already created with the same name?
thank you!!!!
