Restore entire database..why RESETLOGS

Hi
I have a consistent RMAN backup.I wanted to restore it to another server.my goal is replicating exactly what i have on my server to other.I dont require duplicate command..its just a question of asking why what i have done is not working .Rather why this procedure is not working.
Steps follwed are Restored entire database.
Now I have verified checkpoint_scn in controlfile and datafile headers are exactly same.So no Media recovery required.While recovering databsae is is asking me to use backup controlfile and while opening database it wants me open RESETLOGS.
When Checkpoint_SCN is in sync everywhere and i dont change db_name ,why it asks for RESETLOGS.Rather how it or where from it come to know that controlfile is restored.
I thoght may be REDO log files are not present so it might have identified.I have REDO log file copies so i copied and tried but same thing happened..RESETLOGS
if i copy datafile,controlfile and REDO logfile with OS command,i a
was not aked for RESETLOGS or backup controlfile while recovery and open database.
But in case of RMAN why and how it asks for RESETLOGS.I have everything in place as it is but why shoul i do RESETLOGS.

Now I have verified checkpoint_scn in controlfile and datafile headers are exactly same.So no Media recovery required.RMAN doesn't backup Online Redo Logs. RMAN wouldn't then, be checking Online Redo Logs.
Say you have this scenario :
At Time t1, cold backup of datafiles and controlfile
Current Time is t3 and Online Redo Logs are available
What is restored is the datafiles and controlfiles from t1 and the online redo logs from t3.
Is such a scenario possible ? YES.
(eg. your database crashed at t2 and all datafiles and controlfiles were lost, but the online redo logs are available -- probably because they were mirrored).
Can/should Oracle do an OPEN without a ResetLogs ? Obviously not ! A ResetLogs is necessary here.
But what if you had restored Online Redo Logs of t1 with the database of t1 ? If the controlfile is not of the same point in time, Oracle still cannot be sure that the Online Redo Logs are the "current" ones. Oracle has to assume and do an Incomplete Recovery. This has to be followed by an OPEN RESETLOGS.
While recovering databsae is is asking me to use backup controlfile and while opening database it wants me open RESETLOGS.RMAN wouldn't be "asking .. to use a backup controlfile". It seems that you are using the SQL RECOVER DATABASE command. If a BACKUP CONTROLFILE is used, an OPEN RESETLOGS is required. That is mandatory because Oracle cannot trust the controlfile (which it , by definition, would assume to be not "current") to have the latest information.
When you do a non-RMAN backup and Recovery, the ALTER DATABASE OPEN is issued from SQL. This checks the Online Redo Logs. If it finds that the Online Redo Logs are as of t3 but the database files, even consistent, are as of t1, then it will complain and require an OPEN RESETLOGS.
if i copy datafile,controlfile and REDO logfile with OS commandIf this is cold copy, then it doesn't require Recovery. If all three sets of files are consistent, than an Open ResetLogs is not required.

  • 'alter database open resetlogs' didn't reset one of the datafiles

    I've spent the last three and a half weeks recovering an oracle database (11g 64-bit linux) because of a corrupt block in an online redo log (which I thought was being written to multiple locations). I restored the files, moving some of them around in the process; recovered to the latest possible point; moved files back to their proper location; ran 'alter database open resetlogs'; and one of the datafiles (from a bigfile tablespace) didn't get reset. I checked afterward, and it was marked offline. I do not remember placing the file offline, and cannot find such a statement in my last 300 sqlplus commands, which includes commands well before I renamed this file and the commands surrounding the rename.
    Restoring/recovering the database again will take too long, and is a remarkably poor option. Even if the database had opened correctly, the affected tablespace would not have been touched in the two or three minutes the database was open. Is there any way to force oracle to reset the logs again or otherwise fix this one file to mark it with the same date? Only allowing the resetlogs option after an incomplete recovery seems a poor restriction, especially, if files can slip through like this. I'm suspecting there is someway to just fix the checkpoint values for the tablespace, but I don't know where to begin. This particular file is <5% of the database, so if I have to do some sort of backup/restore with just it, that is probably doable.

    4: Nothing in the tablespace has been touched since I ran 'alter database open resetlogs;'. It also appears that oracle placed the file offline (without me telling it to do so) and left it that way through the resetlogs, leaving the tablespace unusable during the time it was opened. The only things that would be out of date are the 'RESETLOGS_CHANGE#', the 'CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#', and associated values. It's still at the last scn before the resetlogs, and the system has been in archivelog mode the entire time. This is all information that Oracle could be tracking, and from a program logic standpoint there is no reason why Oracle cannot tie together the changes before the resetlogs, the resetlogs command and the changes after the resetlogs into a new, continuous string of changes. I assume there is some such feature in a high-caliber program because I'm actually a programmer (who would have included such advanced tracking features), and I've become a DBA out of necessity. I admit to not knowing all of the oracle DBA commands, hence me posting here before doing the work of submitting a request to metalink.
    5: I consider it a poor restriction because it doesn't always reset the logs on all files, and as far as my knowledge goes it has rendered my 3.5 week recovery process WORTHLESS. I suppose it could cause numerous errors, especially if the database wasn't cleanly shut down, but having the ability to do something equivalent to datafiles that oracle skipped the process on seems quite useful in my situation. I guess the more fundamental problem to complain about is that it would apply such changes to only some of the files, while leaving others unusable, instead of just giving me an error that some files weren't going to be reset, but I think I'm done venting my Oracle frustrations for now.
    Am I stuck with a tablespace that I cannot bring online with the database open, or is there some sort of 'alter database datafile' command (or anything else) that I know nothing of that will fix the straggling file?

  • Queries on DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS and lost Control Files

    Hi I have some queries on RESETLOGS I would be keen to hear some answers on
    Q1. If I am doing a PITR and I end in ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS, what happens about any Archived Redo Log files ( still in situ ) that were from the original source database but were at a future point in time ? Are they just ignored by any future restore ( since their log sequence number will be different ? ) and eventually over written or purged out ?
    Q2. When you create a new incarnation using RESETLOGS can you Flashback Database to before this ?
    Q3. If I have lost all my Control Files and have not created a backup control file or done a backup to trace of the control file, can I simply restore one of the actual control files from my last backup and use RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO; or will this only work with a bonafide backup control file ( i.e. one created via ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO ‘<file spec>’; )
    Q4. When I issue RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
    Do I have to ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS at the end of the recovery ? I have seen this documented but I am not sure why I would need to reset the redo logs and instead simply open the database ?
    Q5. If I am running the CREATE CONTROL FILE command from an ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
    Do I need to use the NORESETLOGS or RESETLOGS ? How do I know which to use ?
    thanks,
    Jim

  • Alter database open resetlogs

    Hi,
    when I try to duplicate my database by RMAN I have :
    RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log
    RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
    I connect to duplicate database in sqlplus , it is not open.
    Than I do :
    alter database open resetlogs;
    And the database would be open.
    Is it bad ? Will we lose the data ? If yes what solution do you propose ?
    Effectively I do not know how to use this informations :
    log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
    Please help me to use this informations if helplfull.
    Many thanks.

    From Oracle Error documentation:
    RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread number seq number lowscn string found to restore
    Cause: An archive log restore restore could not proceed because no backup of the indicated archived log was found. It may be the case that a backup of this file exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands.
    Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.
    RMAN-06026: 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.
    It seems you do not have some of the files required for recover operation. Could you post how this database is backed up using RMAN?

  • 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.

  • Error in restoring a database

    Hi,
    I can't able to restore a database, below is the error,please help me out?
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Restore failed for Server 'xxxxx'.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

    Basically the error is telling you that when the backup was taken it was made to two backup files rather than one, so the backup was stripped across the two of them. You're now trying to restore the backup using only one of those files, which is why you're
    getting the error. To do the restore you need to use both files not just one of them. There's a good discussion of this error here
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/abf50e00-c9b0-4809-9e61-43ed8a53e968/the-media-set-has-2-media-families-but-only-1-are-provided?forum=sqltools which goes into more detail of how you end up in this situation, and also methods you
    can use to find out what the second file was (in case you don't know) so you can hopefully track it down.

  • Error during restore/recovery and 'open resetlogs'

    Hello forum. I'm attempting to restore a database to a new host and have run into an error during the opening of the database (with resetlogs). The renaming of the datafiles, restore, switching of datafiles, and recovery are all done by an rman script, the contents of which are below:
    # Restore production database to DR site using file system
    # instead of ASM
    run {
    set newname for datafile 1 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/system.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 2 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/undotbs1.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 3 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/sysaux.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 4 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/users.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 5 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/undotbs2.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 6 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/file1.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 7 to '/opt/oracle/product/10gR2/oradata/DB01/file2.dbf';
    restore database;
    switch datafile all;
    recover database;
    I get the following output:

    I searched for a decription of the 06054 error, and found that if the archive logs weren't available, then to run "alter database open resetlogs;", which I did. Here's the output:
    RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

    ORACLE error from target database:
    ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319]
    I've done all of this twice now, with the same result. I've googled PLS-801 and found more than a few instances of people getting this code, but not during a database open after a restore. Can anyone shed some light on what might have gone wrong? In the interest of brevity, I left out the rest of the restore process prior to running the database restore, but other than setting "compatible" and "db_recovery_file_dest_size", it was all by the book.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply Pierre.
    I am not using RMAN Duplicate. Yes, the source of the backup is an RAC. The destination is a single server, with the DB on the filesystem. Here's an overview of of the commands I ran and the procedure.
    Copied tar'd backup controlfile and datafiles to destination machine. Untar'd. Install 10.2.0.1.0 on destination machine, patch to 10.2.0.2.0.

    If I'm not using Duplicate and not specifying dates, the UNTIL/SET UNTIL commands aren't necessary, correct?

    Could someone help me restore my photos?  I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo.  I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point.  My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database"  step and now I have a mess.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    I've got a 10.2.0.4 database that we perform a cold backup on every night with RMAN. On Sunday 2/21, we have level 0 backup. On Monday-Wednesday nights, we take a cold level 1. We also perform a controlfile auto backup each night.
    On a second server where I want to restore the database (same version of Oracle 10.2.0.4), I've copied the control file auto backups, the level 0 and the most recent level 1. I now want to restore. I use an RMAN script similar to the following to restore the control files:
    connect target /;
    set dbid 1973354860;
    # Restore the controlfile from the tag that auto backed up the controlfile at the end of the level 0
    run
    startup nomount;
    allocate channel c1 type disk;
    restore controlfile to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control01.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
    restore controlfile to '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control02.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
    restore controlfile to '/u03/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control03.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
    release channel c1;
    shutdown immediate;
    After the control files restore successfully, I perform some RMAN checks to ensure that all of the files I need for a recovery are there. The RMAN> list backup of database; command shows all of my backup savesets as AVAILABLE for the level0 and level1 backups.
    I then try a restore database command; and get the following errors:
    RMAN> run
    2> {
    3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
    4> allocate channel c2 type disk;
    5> allocate channel c3 type disk;
    6> allocate channel c4 type disk;
    7> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';
    8> }
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

    So I'm unclear as to why RMAN believes the backups of these files don't exist when I attempt to restore the database. Anyone have a clue?
    NOTE: I've also tried to restore spcifically with the tag= clause but I get the same results:
    RMAN> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';

  • Use of imp/exp to restore a database will fail ??

    I have a database that uses mdsys and other user-defined objects. This week I've had the "pleasure" to try to restore a database from scratch using imp, but had to abandon because imp refuses to create tables if they refer to objects, that upon export had a different id than the database being imported to.
    Since mdsys for instance, is always excluded from exports (like sys and system) when you create a new database, the spatial objects are created with a different ID than the original database. Hence, every table you have with spatial data will not be imported.
    So imp only works if the internal object ids match.
    What would be the "imp/exp" procedure to do a full db restore that bypasses the above problem? Has datadump solved this issue?

    Correct - all schemas considered part of the dictinary are excluded (why has things become so complicated- in the old days we had ONE place where everything dictionary went).
    That's the problem. I have tables in my export that depends on MDSYS objects. In other words, spatial data. So, to re-create my database I must first create a database and ADD a MDSYS schema. So yes, I created the schema prior to import. The problem is, that the MDSYS objects then do not get the same object-ids. And there lies the problem. IMP will not import my tables with spatial data in them because the reference to the MDSYS objects do not match the object ID that was used during export. Why this rule is applied is the mystery.
    In addition, which I rote in the spatial forum, anything related to the mapviewer application is also placed in the MDSYS schema, excluding them from export; regardless that the data related to mapviewer is not related to database objects. The result is, that your Oracle Mapviewer application data is lost. The "official workaround" is to run pre-scripts that copy the dictionary views to fixed tables, then run your export. And on import you run a post-script to copy it back. Rather silly and inflexible.

    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

  • Restore NOARCHIVELOG database in oracle 9i

    Hello guys,
    Please help me establish a way to restore my db.
    Here is the scenario ...
    The db version 9.2 was installed and running in the server (Windows).
    The DB was installed in D: drive.
    The C: drive of the server failed, so the server went down.
    The DB was up and running by the time.
    After dealing and starting up the server, Oracle was not starting.
    I made a copy of the entire folder in which oracle resided (D:\Oracle)
    No backup, just a copy and paste of the folder in another drive.
    Now, I installed a new copy of Oracle db 9.2 , and I wonder how can I restore the db.
    The previous db was in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
    I have read that the only way is to perform a cold restore ... I have tried in different ways, but I think that
    the problem is with the fact that I do not posses a real "backup" of my db.
    >
    Only cold backups (that is, backups created when the database was shut down normally) can be used in restoring a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode
    >
    Can you sugest me any ideas on resolving this?

  • How to restore a database from backup taken in standby database

    Its our  environment standard to run backup in standby database.
    Now we have to perform refresh production database to UAT database.
    I have performed normal refresh/duplicate.  Is there any additional procedures need to be followed to perform refresh from standby database backup

    The backupsets will be restored into a new server with different file structure. The database will also be different. In the new server, I have created a blank database (SID or CUSTOM database with the name DBGRID). This is easier so I won't have to create any directories, user ORADIM or create new PWFile.
    This document assumes that a blank (starter) database has been created in the new server. The RDBMS version is the same as the source database.
    In this example, the source database name is GALAXY and the target database name is DBGRID.
    Let me know if you have any feedback or comments. All I want is to share these steps with you and make it better so we can help other DBA's as well.
    Steps start here
    -->
    ORIGINAL DATABASE: GALAXY
    DUPLICATE DATABASE: DBGRID
    FROM THE SOURCE DATABASE (GALAXY)
    1. Backup the database using RMAN incremental backups.
    2. Check the RMAN logs generated and look for the result of the command:
    C:\Users\Administrator>set ORACLE_SID=GALAXY

    Make sure that all the directory values in this edited pfile are existing in the target server.
    5. Copy all the RMAN backup pieces generated in the source database. Transfer the edited pfile as well. Make sure that all directories presented in the pfile exists in the target server.
    In this example, RMAN backupsets are located at:
    Backupsets:
    Level0 and Level1 = D:\fra\backupsets\duplicate\level0 , D:\fra\backupsets\duplicate\level1
    Controlfile and Spfile Autobackup = D:\fra\backupsets\duplicate\autobackup
    Edited pfile initGALAXYrman= C:\TEMP\initDBGRIDnew.ora
    FROM THE TARGET DATABASE (DBGRID)
    6. Connect to RMAN and perform database duplication using RMAN backup restoration

  • 11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back.

    please help with 11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back by enabling FRA or FRA with archive in 11.2.0.2 database.

    Any other option to restore schema??As it has been discussed in another thread, the schema is not a physical thing, it is a logical set of objects that user has.
    So, to restore schema you will need to restore all tables in this schema.
    As it was answered above, you can use Flashback Table for every table (with some limitations though).
    Another option is using LogMiner. With some limitations as well.
    For example, you cannot to "restore" a truncated table with LM.

    Any help ?

    Hi,
    Duplicate is not supported using different version of database, so I recommend you don't use duplicate.
    Because RMAN "duplicate" attempts to automatically rename (rename required recover) and open the database you may not use RMAN duplicate for this case, only RMAN restore.
    Perform this work using normal restore database.
    See this example.
