Restore RAC database from non-RAC source - EBS R12.1.1

We have restored (PIT) a RAC database from a non-RAC (but ASM) source and I was wondering if that was a reasonable thing to do.
The reason I ask is that I seem to remember that in the upgrade to R12.1.1 the upgrade driver had a different list of jobs to do when the target was RAC vs when it was non-RAC... so is it possible the EBS R12.1.1 code is different for RAC (meaning we dont have the right code base in the DB since we restored a non-RAC source to a RAC destination)?
Disclaimer - I am NOT a DBA .. just trying to identify some potential problems we are troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance!
EBS R12.1.1
OEL 5
11gR2

We have a RMAN back up of the non-RAC database that was restored and PIT recovered on the RAC database.Is it a full database backup?
The "code" base I am referring to is all the db stored objects for R12 EBS .. database compiled code.Restoring the RMAN backup on the target node is not enough. Have you run AutoConfig or postclone? Does your instance know that this is a a single instance and not a RAC one?
I am nervous that there may be alternate versions of the code to run in RAC vs non-RAC .. for instance I know that some of the ASCP jobs use DBMS PIPES and that can be tricky with RAC and Concurrent Manager.. And when we did the upgrade to R12, pointing it @ RAC generated more and different jobs than when it was not pointed @ RAC .. so SOMETHING was different according to the APPS ADPATCH/ADADMIN utilities.Please explain in details what is the purpose of doing this restore and what exactly you are trying to achieve. What cloning procedure you follow to refresh the target instance?
Thanks,
Hussein

Open 10g/11g RAC database in Non RAC Mode

Dear Friends,
How i open 10g and 11g RAC database in Non RAC Mode (open single instance in order to perform upgrade)
Later i will convert the upgraded DB to RAC DB

Regards,
DBEdit spfile and set cluster_database=false before starting database in upgrade mode(optionally you can unset other cluster parameters).
So you upgrade using only 1 instance of database.
Once the upgrade is finished start the other instance as well and set cluster_database=true

Cloning Oracle APPS Rac Database to Non Rac Databse

Hi all,
I have question.
Presently we are following RMAN duplicate database cloning from RAC asm to (non RAC)non asm database of size 1TB.
If suppose if our databse is 3TB or More. then is there method that we can minimize the cloning time. If so please let me know.
Thanks

Rebuilding RAC database from RAC database

Hi All,
Oracle : 10.2.0.4
OS : Linux
I am rebuilding a new RAC database from different RAC database manually from hot bacckup.
Everthing is ok for me but when we try to recoer the new db it will asks you archs to apply.
It will prompt you for the first arch from any thread , after applying the 1st it will not prompt you without giving next arch sequence no from any thread.
I spent time on it and finally get to know that its an oracle bug .
I just want to know wheather is thr any options for us by which we can know the arch sequence no.
Any suggestions wud b appreciated.
Thanks.
Virender

Hi Hemant,
I know the v4recovery_log option to check the next archive.
ut below is the situation m facing.
M trying to apply the arch asked by oracle but still its not applying it and showig it in v$recovery_log. Kindly check teh below output:

Changes between a RAC(Objects) and NON RAC

Hi all,
I want to findout what all the different things to be considered when an application is made to run on RAC env.
For eg: I found there is a difference between the way the Sequences are used in a RAC env from Non RAC.
Are there any guidelines for the Objects used in RAC?
Also can you point me to any doc related to tuning the interconnect as we are identifying wait events related to cluster "Cluster was consuming significant database time"
Thanks.

Hi hyddba,
Absolutely, at database level for application has no changes at objects.
At application code has changes to benefit aplications from failover TAF and FAN events.

I am not sure what you mean by "OS replication".
Whether you use RAC or a Failover Cluster, the database has to be on Shared Storage (which requires no "replication").
RAC licence costs are higher than that for a Failover Cluster because both instances have to licenced and the RAC option has to be purchased.
Of course, if the two nodes together are limited to 4 CPUs, you could consider Standard Edition to reduce the licencing costs.
DBA skills requirements are also higher for RAC.
With respect to your question "...will be sufficient for the avaialability purposes" it really depends on what your requirements are. People use RAC for Avaialability when it really is better positioned for Scalability. If you want only availability and can afford a few minutes downtime, and each node in the cluster can individually handle the user/batch loads, a Failover Cluster would suffice.
I suggest that you raise this question in the "Database - General" forum : General Database Discussions
or the "Real Application Clusters" forum : Real Application Clusters
"Replication" is the wrong forum for such a question.
When you do re-raise your question, please clarify your understinding of "OS replication".

This error means that the hostname or IP address used in the TNS connection string, failed to resolve or connect.
Your client is making two connections. The first connection is to the SCAN listener. It matches a db instance for your connection request based on service requested, available registered service handlers, load balancing, and so on. It then send a redirect to your client informing it of the handler for that service.
Your client then does a second connection to this service (a local RAC listener that will provide you with a connection to the local RAC instance). This is what seems to be failing in your case.
The SCAN listener's redirect uses the hostname of the server that the local listener is running on. Your client needs to resolve that hostname (of a RAC node) to an IP address. This likely fails.
You can add the RAC node hostnames to your client platforms hosts file. The appropriate action however would be to ensure that DNS is used for name resolution instead.

Hi there
I'm also trying to restore a full RMAN backup to our DR site using Netbackup as MML
My scenario is:
We have one tape library at our PROD data center and another one at our DR site both using Netbackup as Storage manager
I performed a full RMAN backup on 4 DLT tapes with recovery catalog at our PROD datacenter, then I removed the 4 tapes and place it in our tape lib at DR site
I tried to import the tapes using bpimport from Netbackup which has been successful up to now
But when I tried to restore controlfile from RMAN, I get the following error:

How to restore master database from SSMS? is it possible? if yes, what is the procedure.
I knew that how to restore from sqlcmd.
1.Start the server with the -m startup parameter
2.Turn off Sql Agent Service, login to SSMS, first disconnect object explorer.
3.Restore your master backup
4.The server shuts down automatically when the restore ends
5.Remove the -m startup parameter and then restart the server
6.If any databases were created after the master backup, reattach them
7.If any server-scoped objects were created after the master backup, recreate them

Restore a database from RAC to standalone oracle server

Hi,
I wanted to know whether we can restore a RAC database to a standalone machine. Steps which i am planning to do
1) Create a stand alone server
2) Install oracle in the same path as that in RAC
3) Create a database of the same name
4) Re direct Restore to this location from RAC database
The database is non asm. Can any one let me know whether RAC database support redirect restore.
Amith

This is possible.You won't have to create the new database though. Rman will do this for you (after all, you restore/recover a full database). It is much easier when you also use ASM on the destination but is you do not want to use asm, you can still use rman to rename/relocate all datafiles to a non-asm location.

Restoring RMAN Backup from ASM RAC env to Non ASM standalone environment

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to restore database using RMAN in a Non ASM environment as my backup file with ASM RAC environment.
i was also looking for some documentation which provides clear explanation about RMAN backup and Restore in ASM and Non ASM environment.
Thanks

You can set the parameter db_file_name_convert in init.ora in you new database with [ID 47325.1]
or
you can set parameter "set newname" in your script rman. [ID 549972.1]
if you have one or two destinations of dbfiles in ASM I seggest to you set parameter db_file_name_convert in init.
example:
db_file_name_convert=('+DGDATA','/u01/oradata/');
remenber you need set log_file_name_convert to.
log_file_name_convert=('+DGREDO','/u01/redo/');
if you use "set newname" commands you need set this lines in your script rman.
set newname for datafile 1 to '/u01/oradata/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/u01/oradata/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/u01/oradata/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/u01/oradata/users01.dbf';
and every datafiles you need set!

SAN mirroring from RAC production to non-RAC DR

Hi Experts:
My client has a new project using 11gR2 and due to various reasons, they need to do the followings:
- Production Application #1 - 2 UNIX machines (likely AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
- Production Application #2 - 1 UNIX machine (AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
- DR site - Use 1 UNIX machine to host DBs (i.e. all non-RAC) for for both Applications #1 & #2.
Data are replicated from production to DR via SAN mirroring. (Clients decide not to use DataGuard for whatever reason).
I tried to find related info from Oracle website and Metalink with no luck.
Can anyone share there experiences on this , such as:
- Any restrictions or limitations ?
- Can we use only 1 Oracle binaries to host both DBs in DR site ?
- What about fallback from DR site back to the 2 production sites (1 RAC, 1 non-RAC) ?
Thanks and Regards
Airon

- Any restrictions or limitations ? Assuming you are using Same version & release. Of course you can have Different OS,
Here you can either have Normal FILE system, Lets suppose you have RAC on ASM even non-RAC(DR) you can have either on Normal file system (or) ASM file system.
Just take care of size of the mount point of where database resides & archives area size.
- Can we use only 1 Oracle binaries to host both DBs in DR site ?When standby is non-RAC, you have to use only one ORACLE_HOME, Here only Recovery will be in progress, No online threads will be active.
- What about fallback from DR site back to the 2 production sites (1 RAC, 1 non-RAC) ?What that mean? You mean switchover?
before switchover to a physical standby, all but one primary instances should be stopped; after switchover, started again.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17022/rac_support.htm#i641732
Please describe more on it.
- For the production DB (application #1) with RAC, ASM will be used. So, what files from the 2 Unix servers / SAN must be replicated to DR?
- For the production DB (application #2) without RAC, ASM will not be used. So, what files from the 1 Unix server / SAN must be replicated DR ?I'm not sure for which application you are talking, All the database will be replicated to DR site either SAN or normal.
So you have to build standby database, Check below procedure to achieve this.
Here is document from MAA.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10g-racprimarysingleinstance-131970.pdf
- In the setup of DR DB server, what type of Oracle installation (need full install of grid + DB software , or just DB software) is needed.In standby you can have just Oracle Home. But cluster_database will be FALSE.
Let us know if any questions.
