Restoring RMAN backup

Hi everyone,
We have the oracle servers version
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
One is the production server and one is for testing. We are taking incremental RMAN backup in the production server. I need to restore that backup to the testing server from production server once in 3 days. The DB name is same for both database.
Plese anyone explain me about how to acheive this..
With thanks & Regards,
Jai.

Restore RMAN Backup

Dear All,
I am practicing Oracle Restore scenarios on my Oracle 9i database. Once I complete my tests in Oracle 9i I will move up to 10g and then finally to 11g.
Following is my recovery scenario:
1) I did NOT configure Recovery Catalog
2) I would like to restore my databse from a 15 days old backup
3) control_file_record_keep_time is set to 7 days.
4) Backups are on tape.
Can you guys please shed some light on how to I proceed?
- P

In oracle 9i , check , which situation you can perform complete recovery and in which situations you have to select incomplete recovery.

Restoring Rman backup on New Host with different directory structure

Hi,
I have a following scenario to clone the database.
1. clone the database on new server
2. source is non - ASM and target is ASM
3. On source incremental level 0 backup taken on disk connecting to catalog, the backup is moved to target host to different directory structure
4. source is running on 32-bit Linux two node Rac and Target is running on 64-bit Linux two node Rac
I did the following steps and getting below error:
1. I copied incremental Level 0 backup to target server(where we need to build new db) to different directory structure
2. On target i created pfile and build the instance, as dbf file are in multiple locations in source i put following tow parameters in init.ora of target database
*.db_file_name_convert =(/u02/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA2/udev/datafile),(/u03/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u12/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile,),(/u99/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u09/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u14/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u07/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u06/oradata/prod/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile'),(/u05/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile)
*.log_file_name_convert =("/u99/oradata/app1p/","+QADATA2/udev/onlinelog/")
3. connected to rman -->> started db in nomount -->> restored the controlfile --> cataloged the backup piece and then i am trying to restore
All the above steps i did using the Doc id *How To Restore Rman Backups On A Different Node When The Directory Structures Are Different [ID 419137.1]*

Hi,
Since the error ORA-19809 indicates the lack of space in flash recovery area during the media recovery, I suggested increasing the value of the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.
Yes, during the media recovery the RMAN will restore the archived log to the default destination (only if the required archived logs are not already on the disks).You can confirm the restore location of the archived log in RMAN restore log/destination specified by parameters log_archive_dest_1/db_recovery_file_dest.

Restoring RMAN backup on a different server

Hi oracle gurus
i have following scenario
i have a compressed backup set of a database
i want to restore that rman backup on to a different server.
both the server have same version of oracle.and both the server are of 32 bit.
please reply if any more info is required.

RESTORE AND RECOVERY PROCEDURE OF PRODUCTION DATABASE BACKUP ON TEST SERVERS
As part of disaster recovery exercise or to test the validity of a RMAN backup, a full restore and recovery of databases can be performed on scratch or test servers utilising the production RMAN backups which have been restored from the tape backups on these test or scratch servers.
This note will illustrate the above procedure by detailing the steps required to restore the backup of a production database (prod1) on a test server linux01 .
The following assumptions are made in this note:
The RMAN backups have been restored from tape backups to the same backup location on the test server as the production server where the backup was originally taken
The identical directory structure as is present on production has been created on the test server. This will apply to not only the location of the database files (data, control files, redo log files), but also to the bdump,cdump, udump and adump locations.
Controlfile autobackup has been enabled. This is important.
Overview
Restore the spfile from the autobackup
Restore the controlfile from the autobackup
Restore the data files
Recover by applying archived redo log files
Open the database with resetlogs
Restore the SPFILE
[oracle@linux01 prod1]$ rman target /
connected to target database (not started)
RMAN> set dbid=4266928631
executing command: SET DBID
RMAN> startup force nomount;
startup failed: ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/initprod1.ora'
starting Oracle instance without parameter file for retrival of spfile
Oracle instance started
Total System Global Area 159383552 bytes
Fixed Size 2039056 bytes
Variable Size 67109616 bytes
Database Buffers 83886080 bytes
Redo Buffers 6348800 bytes
RMAN> run
2> {SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u02/backup/prod1/%F';
3> restore spfile from autobackup;
4> }
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
Restore the Control File
In this case, the instance is now being started with the restored spfile. We can create a pfile as well from this spfile is so required.
RMAN> startup nomount
connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started
RMAN> set dbid=4266928631
executing command: SET DBID
RMAN> run
2> {SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u02/backup/prod1/%F';
3> restore controlfile from autobackup;
4> }
RMAN> alter database mount;
database mounted
released channel: ORA_DISK_1
Restore the database
RMAN> restore database;
Recover the database
The recovery will fail at a point where it cannot restore any more archived redo log files.
In this case the last archived log file which has been backed up is sequence 613.
This information can be obtained by issuing a LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG ALL command.
So RMAN will fail when it tries to apply sequence 614 ….
RMAN> recover database
[oracle@linux01 PROD1]$ rman target /
connected to target database: PROD1 (DBID=4266928631, not open)
RMAN> sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
RMAN>

Restoring RMAN backup from tape beyond retention policy ??

Hello Friends,
I just stuck in some basic finding. Need your help to resolve the questions.
How we can use RMAN backup to restore oracle database when the RMAN backup pushed to tape already and being a OLD backup ( before retention policy date).
Just to elaborate a more.. Say my retention policy is 3 days. I want to restore from a old backup like 30 days old.
So surely the requesting backup is behind retention date and has been pushed to tape.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sinha.

Assuming the actual backup files still exist (the only thing actually deleted is the record of them in the catalog), you can make those files available and use the rman 'catalog' command to re-catalog them.

Restoring rman backup to sysdate-n while having latest full backup

is it possible to restore n-5 days database state while having latest full rman backup (n) ???

Hi,
You need the archivelog and a backup prior to the date you want to restore.
So:
You cannot return back BEFORE the date of a backup.
You can go back to the date of a backup if you have no archivelog (or archivelog backup).
You can go back to the date of a backup and anytime AFTER if you have the archivelog (or archivelog backup).
You can go prior (depending of the retention) if you use flashback (flashback log).

Restore RMAN backup on new server

Hi
I took RMAN backup of a database with control file autobackup on...I copied the backup
to a new server restored the spfile from the backup and modified the parameters
bdump,udump,control file because the directory structure is different from the original

Restore RMAN Backup in Different Database on Same RAC

We have 11gR2 2 node RAC on Linux. ASM and OMF is used for database. The database on it is backedup using RMAN.
We want to test the RMAN backup by restoring it to a new database on same server.
Can someone guide me to steps on how this can be achieved. I'm afraid this should not affect the actual database.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Yes, this can be done without disturbing your source db. Need more information on your DB structure (datafile asm diskgroups), all you need to do is restore as single node and convert to rac, since you want to test rman restore, you can restore to single node to prove your RMAN backups are intact.
Changes in init.ora
==============
db_file_name_convert= ("source dir structure","target dir structure")
log_file_name_convert=("source dir structure","target dir structure")
cluster_database=false
event="10298 trace name context forever, level 32"
_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
Set new database sid (export ORACLE_SID=NEW_SID)
sql>startup nomount;
rman auxiliary /
rman>duplicate database to "NEW_SID" backup location "Your RMAN Backup location";
The above are very high level general steps, please do take other steps into consideration as per your environment.

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!

Restore RMAN backup from tape

I have to restore the RMAN full backup from tape to new host to a previous date say March 1st. My target database RMAN retention period is 28 days, today is 11th May.
Is it possible to restore the obsolete database from tape backup to new host as of May 1st. If not possible, I would like to restore the available backup say as 15th April from tape to new host.
Can you please provide me the steps to restore the tape old backup to new host.
Thanks,
Mahi

SQL post-install scripts when restoring RMAN backup to a higher version

Hi,
If I've an RMAN backupset taken from, say an 11.2.0.3.0 DB, and I want to restore this to an 11.2.0.4.5 DB, I know I'll have to open in upgrade mode, and run the SQL components of the OJVM PSU along with the January 2015 PSU after the restore completes.
Is there anything specific about the order of catbundle, utlrp, utli112 and OJVM postinstall scripts that need running after catproc?
I'm guessing it needs to be:
catproc->utli112->OJVM PSU->catbundle->utlrp
But thought I'd check just in case there's something specific I've missed.
Thanks,
Phil

For RMAN restore on higher version, you can follow below steps.
SQL> alter database mount;
Database altered.
SQL> recover database until cancel using BACKUP CONTROLFILE ;
----some log files will be applied here, at the end, give cancel----------------
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
CANCEL
Media recovery cancelled.
SQL> alter database open resetlogs upgrade;
Database altered.
---Now perform manual upgrade steps----
Remember, you need to run utlu112i.sql in source DB and before the upgrade. for catbundle, you can follow the readme instructions.
Hope it helps!!!.
Thanks,
Abhi

Restore rman backup whitout controlfile or backup controlfile

hi,
I have a rman database backup and rman archivelogs bakups but no controlfile or backup controlfile.
How can restore the database?
thanks

thanks for replay
yes, i have a human readable trace controlfile and i could generate CREATE CONTROLFILE command but still can not create the controlfile because i have not datafile 1 which is in rman backupset and which can not be restored because of controlfile:
SQL> @D:\oServers\databases102\ploiesti\control.txt
CREATE CONTROLFILE set DATABASE "PRIM" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'D:\oServers\databases102\ploiesti\data\SYSTEM01.DBF'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: fi║ierul nu a putut fi deschis
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
I will try to create a new database and to use new controlfile for catalog rman backupset.
thanks again
