Rman backup control file

hii i am working on oracle 10g 10.2.0.4.0 on solaris 10 have asm and rac setup(2 node rac).
i have only one control file--+DATA_DG1/ftssdb/controlfile/current.270.664476369
i am backing up these control file with rman
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/rman_node1/%F';
c-31850833-20100909-00 is a backed up piece of control file.
now suddenly one system admin deleted that control file...how can i recover my database using rman backup??

You can found these entries like :

  • Recovery using backup control file

    Hello friends,
    I have a scenario where i am unable to recover by database by using backup control file option can u pls give ur expert advice.
    1) Database is working in ARCHIVE MODE.
    2) One of my file was READ ONLY when i take my closed backup. At this time
    v$log file output is :
    group# thread# sequence# bytes member arc status first_change#
    1 1 8 8192 2 yes inactive 4697463
    2 1 9 8192 2 yes active 4717493
    3 1 10 8192 2 no current 4717738
    3) After 2-3 log switches i have made it READ WRITE.
    4) After making it READ WRITE i have taken controlfile backup by using
    ALTER SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'E:\ORACLE\CONTROL01.CTL';.
    5) Again i have make some log switches.
    6) Shutdown my database using SHUTDOWN option.
    7) Copy my SYSTEM,UNDO,USER,INDEX datafiles from my backup (taken at
    step 2) and CONTROL file (taken at step 4).
    8) I have not copied my old redo log files so those are new.
    9) I mount database & then use this command to recover database :
    RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
    10) My recovery process starts applying archived log files and applied upto
    sequence no 9. When it starts applying last one 10 which is online redo log
    and not yet archived my recovery process fails by giving this error:
    ORA-00308: cannot open archived log 'd:\oracle\oradata\practice\archive\1_10.dbf'
    ORA-27041: unable to open file
    OSD-04002: unable to open file
    O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
    11) I try to open database using :
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    it gives following warning:
    Error at line 1:
    ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
    ORA-01110: datafile 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PRACTICE\SYSTEM01.DBF'
    Please guide me why it is so ?
    Whether in BACKUP CONTROL FILE CASES system didn't recognise ONLINE REDO LOG FILES or it is anything else.
    Regards
    Sethi

    Hi,
    >>I am not using RMAN. I am taking user managed backups. Moreover i have tried what u said that make checkpoints also but again i came to the same result when it try to apply last archived log which was current redo log when database was started to shutdown it says unable to find the specified file & then when i open database using resetlogs it says system file needs media recovery.
    it show error because you are using wrong approach of Recovery.
    Alter database open Resetlog command is used only in incomplete recovery.
    but your are giving
    Recover database command,it means ur performing full recovery (means you have apply online redo logfile.) and after applying it you should open the database with Alter database Open command.
    No need to give resetlog option.
    Again Restore all backup;
    Issue Recover database;
    and open the database with
    Alter database open;
    Thanks

  • RMAN Restore Control File Fails - File Header Validation Fails

    hi everyone,
    This is 9i on Windows 2000.
    I'm trying to restore a control file from a backup made by RMAN on another server.
    I expected Oracle/RMAN to choke because it knows the backup file was not made from this servers database.
    RMAN>restore control file from '......' gives ORA-19563 Control File header validation failed
    Is there a way to force RMAN to restore a file, in a situation like this?
    Thanks,
    John

    >>I expected Oracle/RMAN to choke because it knows the backup file was not made from this servers database.
    What do you mean by this statement ? Do you mean that the servers are on different platforms ? If so first you need to do RMAN platform conversion to able to recognize the controlfile.
    If not, Can you make sure of the following
    1) source and target servers are same operating system
    2) source and target database homes have same versions.

  • Need a help: how to recover using backup control file?

    Please a help:
    First computer
    1. I create a database
    2. put it in archive mode,
    3. shutdown and made a cold backup
    4. Created backup control file (alter database backup control file to trace)
    5. I started up and created some archived log files.
    Second Computer
    1. I copied all files created in the step 3 above except the control file
    2. I create all the same map directory on the 2nd computer as in the 1st computer
    3. I recreate the control file from the script got in the step 4 above
    4. I Copy archived log files generated at the step 5 in the local directory in the second computer
    5. I set the logsource and set the autorecovery to on
    6. I recover the database: RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROL FILE UNTIL CANCEL
    Error got:
    the archived log file applied do not go beyond the first one?,How could I do to applied all archived log files copied from the first computer to the second computer to have the same data?

  • Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file?

    Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file? How far can I recover this database?
    I have an Oracle 10g(10.2.3) database on RHEL4.3 system.
    I have lost all the current control files and all the online redo logs, archived redo logs and all other files are OK.
    Now I have to recovery this database using a backup control file.
    Can I recover the database without any data lost?

    If
    a) it was a Shutdown Abort or an Instance Crash (i.e. backgrounds died on detecting loss of redo logs),
    b) redo logs are lost
    c) data files are intact
    You'd have to
    a) Restore datafiles
    b) Do an Incomplete Recovery to the last available ArchiveLog

  • Restore Backup control file doubt ?

    when restoring backup control file why we need to set the DBID first?
    Thankx..

    When using a recovery catalog and attempting to restore a lost control file, you encounter an error if there are other databases are registered in the recovery catalog with the same name as your target database. To resolve this error, you must uniquely identify the database by DBID for the restore operation. This requires determining the correct DBID for your database, and then using the SET DBID command to identify the target database before the RESTORE CONTROLFILE.

  • NEED TO RECOVER A DATABASE USING RMAN with CONTROL FILE AND NO RMAN CATALOG, DISK FAILURE..

    Hello All,
    The disk failure caused our production data on the disk to be resotred with the backup data available and recovered through RMAN with cotrolfile , and no catalog DB is configured.
    I had the restored the spfile and control file then recovered the database,
    startup nomount;
    RESTORE SPFILE FROM ' path '  ;
    Shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount
    Restore controfile from autobackup;
    restore database;
    [AT POINT , A MESSAGE PROMPTED LIKE " failur of restored command - some targets not found"  (thinking may be few archives are not found, i proceeded to incomeplete recovery of DB) ]
    recover database;
    Finished reocvery .
    Now in the Grid control i see that 60 blocks of a particular datafile are corrupted and needs recovery. Do i need to get the data file resotred again and recover it or any simple way to recover this data file
    When i perform the block recovery , it says recovery failed and when i run the data file recovery it succeeds. Please provide you inputs to recover the database as it is production BI database and pretty critical to our client.
    Thanks for your valuable time in advance.
    Regards,
    Ran G.

    These is a common problem if the object are created due to NOLOGGIN option. If you check most of the object which are facing block corruption is indexes .
    Use the below query to check the objects :
    It will map each block from v$database_block_corruption to either a segment or if the block is free.

    Hi FAN,
    The following three pieces contain controlfile backups.
    c-1357907388-20090629-00.bck

    c-1357907388-20090629-01.bck
    Accordingto your output.
    It does not contain three copies but it will use the control_files parameter to restore three.

  • ASM RMAN backup to File System

    Hi all,
    I have a rman backup (datafile and controlfile) which was took in an ASM instance (not a RAC) ORACLE 11.2.0.2 in a Linux server, now I want restore the backup in a new database in windows/Linux OS using general File System storage (single instance rdbms) instead of ASM.
    Is this possible?
    Can I restrore an ASM rman backup in a file system storage mechanisim in a new server?
    Kindly clarify my question.
    Thanks in Advance..

    Hi Levi,
    Thanks for your invaluable script and blog.
    can you clarify me on this query:
    I have a RMAN backup taken from ASM and the backup is database and controlf file backup which contains datafiles and controlfiles.
    Now I need to restore this on my system and here I dont use ASM or archive log, I use single instance in no archive log mode database.
    I have restored the control file from the RMAN controfile backup.
    Before restoring the control file I have checked the orginal pfile of the backup database which had parameters like
    'db_create_file_dest',
    'db_create_online_log_dest',
    'db_recovery_file_dest_size',
    'db_recovery_dest',
    'log_archive_dest'.
    Since I am not gng to create a DB in no archive log mode, I didnt use any of the above parameters and created a database.
    Now my question is:
    If i restore the database and the datafile will get restored and after renaming all the logfiles, database will be opened.
    I want to know whether this method is correct or wrong and will the database work as it was working previously. Or do i need create the db_file_recovery and other parameters also for this database.About Parameter:
    All these parameters should reflect your current environment any reference to the old environment must be modified.
    About Filesystem used:
    Does not matter what Filesystem you are using the File (datafile/redolog/controlfile/archivelog/backuppiece) are created on Binary Format which depend on Platform only. So, The same binary file ( e.g datafile) have same format and content on raw device, ASM, ext3, ext2, and so on. So, to database it's only a location where file are stored, but the file are the same. ASM has a different architecture from Regular Filesystem and need be managed in a different manner (i.e using RMAN).
    About Database:
    Since your database files are the same even using different filesystem what you need is rename your datafiles/redofiles on controlfile during restore, the redo files will be recreated.
    So, does not matter if you database are noarchivelog or archivelog, the same way which you will do a restore on ASM is the same way to restore on Regular Filesystem. (it's only about renaming database file on controlfile during restore)
    On blog the post "How Migrate All Files on ASM to Non-ASM (Unix/Linux)" is about move the file from filesystem to another. But you can modify the script used to restore purposes;
    ## set newname tell to RMAN where file will be restored and keep this files location on memory buffer
    RMAN> set newname for datafile 1 to <location>;
    ### swich get list of files from memory buffer (rman) and rename on controlfile the files already restored.

  • A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

    Hi,
    I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
    -- Commands to re-create incarnation table
    -- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
    -- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
    -- re-create incarnation records.
    -- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
    -- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
    -- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
    RECOVER DATABASE
    -- Database can now be opened normally.
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
    thanks
    Nirav

    Thanks for your inputs! It is most useful to me.

  • Large Core Dumps after DB Backup Control File

    Hi All,
    Server Specs (it is the test server having no functional modules):
    Windows 2003 64bit
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 (Patched from 10.2.0.2)
    Netweaver 2004s
    SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL

    Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
    /OraRedo/RedoLogFiles/xxx_example_xxx.dbf
    Log applied.
    Media recovery complete.
    I was facing Control file inconsistence issues against 2 partitions. Issue was resolved by using above commands and Netweaver started successfully. Im now facing another problem, im getting huge tracefiles in SAPTRACE\BACKGROUND folder since its recovery. I deleted those tracefiles which were of approx. 86GB.
    Current Tracefiles sizes are:
    <drive>:\oracle\TST\saptrace\background\tst_m000_5188.trc (7MB) and it is getting double by each generation.
    Here are tracefiles of today (old ones deleted by me coz it was consuming a hell of space, e.g: 86GB as mentioned):
    tst_m000_5188.trc (7 MB) Latest
    tst_j000_5316.trc (4MB)
    Here is Initial info from alert_tst.txt file contained in same folder:

  • Rman causing control file contention

    Hi,
    may i ask for your opinions and advice regarding control file contention issues.
    last week when rman was running it caused a locking issue with another session in another node and based on ash/awr reports there was a control file contention issue..
    in need of your advice and opinions
    thanks.

    Hi,
    I have too little experience with RAC, so you better wait for some answers from experts on that matter.
    Nevertheless, my thoughts are as follows:
    * You have enqueue contention, and this should be taken care of by the GES part of your CRS layer: maybe a place to check if you can trace back any problems.
    * I thought that the version management should be like : CRS version >= ASM version >= DB version .... and this is no longer your situation since your CRS version seems to be 10g when your database run 11g.
    Maybe you could also mention if you use ASM, and where your control files are located.
    Again, wait for experienced answers...
    HTH,
    Thierry

  • BACKUP CONTROL FILE

    Hi all,
    11.2.0.1
    Aix 6.1
    I want to backup my control file to text as in
    SQL> alter system backup controlfile to '/u01/a.txt';
    But  the output is not readable
    Why is that if the command is
    SQL> alter system backup controlfile to trace;
    The output is readable but it is very hard to find
    Please help...
    Thanks ,
    zxy

    Saran, you should actually take care of what the OP is saying. He/she certainly even did not tried the command he/she tells us because it's not an option of "alter system".
    SQL> alter system backup controlfile to trace as '/u01/a.sql';
    alter system backup controlfile to trace as '/u01/a.sql'
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-02065: illegal option for ALTER SYSTEM
    SQL>
    Please see Hemant's post instead.
    Mod. action: your "correct" response is unmarked.

  • Backup control file to trace failing with ORAORA-01116

    Hi,
    backup failing on 10.2 version as includes a backup controlfile command. This falls over with
    unable to open file /u10/oradata/TISD/temp101.dbf
    Now, there is a tempfile there, temp01.dbf.
    Why is the temp101.dbf being looked for?
    How can I proceed from this ?
    As it doenst exist, I am tempted to create it; but why is it temp101? (and not something like temp02)
    Thanks,
    DA
    Edited by: Dan A on Jul 16, 2009 4:31 AM

    This turned out to be a case of a user playing around with the temp tablespace and not dropping original correctly. In teh end I dropped the tablasepace with everyting in it.
    Thanks to all.
