RMAN backup device setup

I am fairly new to Oracle, from the Informix environment. I am trying to get more familiar with Oracle. I have a test server on which I have installed 10g. The server has a tape drive. From what I can tell, to use RMAN to do hot backups, I have to have a media manager software installed. With Informix, they provide a basic media manager that you can use just to write backups to a single tape drive. Does Oracle do this as well, or is the only way to backup to a tape drive is to purchase a third party media manager? I was hoping to learn Oracle without having to purchase extra software along with the database.

Hi,
you can configure RMAN to write backup on type device.
RMAN> configure default device type to SBT;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN>run
backup database;
backup database archivelog all;

Hello Tychos,
I am able to make a sqlplus connection, but your hint send me in the correct direction. I had a special character "@" in the password and I think that was the reason for my problems with RMAN.

How to move rman backups on tap from disk

Hi,
I have rman backup files on the disk, now how we can move these files to tap. is there any rman command or is there any script to move.
Thank you!

Do you use FRA (Flash recovery area)?
If you use FRA then configure RMAN to take backup to tape. And backup fra to tape.
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE ‘SBT_TAPE’;
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
If you don't use FRA then you can backup your backupsets which are on the disk to tape.

RMAN backup on local filesystem

Hi Experts,
I have an RMAN script and i want to use this script to backup my database on my local filesystem.How can i do it ? What changes i need to make in the script?How can i sepcify the path where i want to backup it ?
Actually this script was taken for doing it on tape drive .
Please help me.
connect target rman/rman@RMAN;
run
{ allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms
'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=,NSR_CLIENT=)'
format '/%d_%u_%s_%p/';
backup incremental level 0 ( database filesperset 8 include current controlfile );
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all delete input filesperset 10;
THanks & Regards,
MB

as per oracle best practices, use default channels where possible, these makes management easy !
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/rman_backup/%F';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rman_backup/d_%d_s_%s_p_%p_t_%t' MAXPIECESIZE 2048 M;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' MAXPIECESIZE 1536 M PARMS "ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=topdb1,NB_ORA_SERV=ilsdb2)" FORMAT 'd_%d_s_%s_p_%p_t_%t';
in the following example using default settings, parrallelism is set to 4 using veritas backup
first I take a backup to tape, see how channels get allocated, then to disk, old channels are released and new allocated to disk, this kind of backup policy makes things easy to manage and run, as reccomended by oracle.

RMAN Backup to Tape

Friends,
I have got single instance non-RAC database with datafiles stored in ASM Diskgroup. the RMAN hotbackups are stored in ASM diskgroup on daily basis.
Just wants to know how I can move old backups (previous night) to TAPE every night before kicking off today's backup.
We are using veritas netbackup for tape backups.
Any inputs are appreciated.

The following command backs up to tape all backup sets that do not already exist on device type sbt:

RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device

Dear All
IS it possible to take online RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device?
Note: this is not a tape library, a stand alone tape device.
Thanks & Regards
Quazi Abdur Rab

In RAC, Please note that you can take backup from any node and you can able to restore from any node.
If you taking backup to disk then you must mount the same backup mount on both servers in order to able to backup and restore.
In your case you are taking backup to FRA and from there taking to tape.
The TSM wtih tdop agent is congiured on Node1 and not on Node 2 thats why you are not able to restore from node2.
27029, 00000, "skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error"
// *Cause: sbtrestore returned an error. This happens when retrieving a
// backup file during a restore operation.
// *Action: This error is returned from the media management software which is

If you restore from FRA or using RMAN both nodes know the backup location and able to restore.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
never tried it, but I know that the shared folders in vbox don't work like normal filesystems.
I would rather setup an NFS server on the host and mount an NFS share in the guest.

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:

Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files

sql statement: alter system set db_name = newdbname -- as part rman script execution...
it appears to be i should not touch the soruce db.. i have access to only source db rman backups and need to create another db with different dbname/sid.. please do help...

When you performing RMAN duplicate why you making your script so complicated?
Your instance name and DB name can be different, But what is the contents in your pfile "D:\TESTDELETE\initclonedb1.ora" ? please do post
Have you started any other services related to ORACLE? check in start --> run --> services.msc any other active oracles services, Make sure you have clonedb1.
Startup in nomount
check the connectivity to target server.
SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO 'F:\app\HOME\oradata\clonedb1\TEMP01.DBF';Why you mentioning SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ? You have option of db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in case if your file system different in Target & auxiliary.
BACKUP LOCATION 'F:\app\HOME\flash_recovery_area\orcl\'When you have backup in same location why you are mentioning this clause?
First run duplicate from auxiliary server as
rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database to "db_name";
Am not sure what you are trying to do. is it 11gR1 or 11gR2?
You have option of duplicate from active database without having backup also..
here some links please check it.

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.

Vaibhav
