RMAN backup error in R&D Server

friends,
OS: RHEL 4.8
DB: 10gR2
i am doing some R&D in my 10g test db....
i deleted the last archive log file...then i tried to do rman backup plus archivelog all;
but i am getting an error...then i copy the deleted file in the same location...then the backup is working fine...
suppose if this situation comes in production db what should i do....am i have to wait for the next archive log generation or i have to alter system switch log file;
thanks

Hi,
RMAN>change archivelog all crosscheck;
If below error commes then Your options are either to restore the missing file(s), or to perform a crosscheck. To perform a crosscheck,
run the above command from within RMAN
It is advisable to perform a full backup of the database at this point.
When an archive log crosscheck is performed, RMAN checks each archive log in turn to make sure that it exists on disk (or tape).
Those that are missing are marked as unavailable. If you have got missing logs, this won't bring them back. It will allow you to get
past this error and back-up the database though.
Regards

Hello,
Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer) The ORA-04030 error message is interesting. It means that the OS doesn't have enough memory for Oracle.
So you may monitore the Memory usage of the Server during the Symantec Backup, and check for any activity. May be the Symantec Backup runs when other Batch Jobs use already a lot of memory . You may also have to extend the RAM of the Server.
Also, check for the RMAN script used by Symantec and compare with the "manual" script. May be, some options are used with Symantec and consume more resources on the Server.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

I am not able to restore spfile from rman backup ;;;

Hi,
I would like to know few things
1. How are you setting the db_name ? you can set db_id at RMAN, how are you setting the db_name ?
2. Do you have any default init file at default location ? if yes, is the db_name parameter set correctly in that file ?
Since spfile is yet to be restored, you must set the db_name parameter correctly before you start spfile restore.This can be done with init file at default location which can even contain just one paremeter i.e db_name.

You can continue backup from which files not backed up and this is call restartable backup.Please refer below link

Hi all I have the same problem. We have a 2 node rac with ASM. The archives goes to ASM. I would like to backup the archives from ASM to a filesystem. But i was given a filesystem that is only mounted on one node and it is not accessbile to the other node. When i run the following rman command i get the error on one of the channel that connect to node 2.
My question:
Can i use on channel that is connecting to node1 to backup all the archivelogs generated by node1 and node2 aswell since both the nodes have access to archive logs.
Please assist.

I checked the df -k and I still have about 6% space in my /dbrecovery disk, a separated space, and I did not find the file indicated either. So was still possible the space is full? or others reason?
I used the "delete obsolete"command in rman but nothing can be deleted.

It seems your filesystem cannot handle large files (> 2G). Use 'maxpiecesize' option of 'allocate channel' command to limit the filesize.

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

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 Restore Error - media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 seq 7

Im using RMAN to copy a database to another server. The new server is IDENTICAL to the old one. By identical I mean it has the same sever name, ip address, operating system, Oracle version and directory structure.
The new server already has the instance created, (same name as the old server instance, paths etc)
The backup files have been manually restored to the new server, same locations as they were on the old one. ( RMAN did an automatic controlfile backup and also the archivelogs on the old server ).
Ive restored the control file on the new server from the RMAN backup pieces.
Ive catalogued the RMAN backup pieces on the new server.
I know the last sequence available in the archivelogs backup by running on the new server :
list backup of archivelog all;

So far its all going swimmingly well.
Now I want to restore the datafiles and recover. So I ran :
RMAN run { restore database; recover database; alter database open resetlogs; }
This gave me the output below which goes great but I get a final error, I think the error is because its looking for an archive log thats not in the backup set, but it should be. However, I think SCN 560851 is for a log that hadnt been created yet on the old server when the backup was ran ?
How do I address resolving the error ? Its worth pointing out log, "archive log filename=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\SAT\ARCHIVELOG
\2011_05_11\O1_MF_1_6_6WOK1X4W_.ARC recid=10 stamp=750881741" isnt on the old server either which is why its not in the backup set.
I can do a alter database open reset logs but Id prefer to know why its failing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to do incomplete recovery i.e. to ask RMAN to restore/recover to some specific point in time. This is usually done with some UNTIL clause or SET UNTIL statement. Example in your case:
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 7;See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta065.htm#RCMRF160.

10.1.0.2.0 Database Control Backup error.

Has anybody found this error when running an "gui" Database Control error?
I can successfully run a command line RMAN backup (script) on our production server, however I get the following error when attempting to schedule an backup through the GUI.
STATUS: failed initialization, Param username not provided.
When I go through setting up the backup I ensure to "test backup to disk" which is successful.
It should work if the test is successful, and I am able to run the scripted RMAN backup to the same directory on the disk with no issues.
Any thoughts?
Kindest regards,
Shawn

Is this window box , if this is the case then you
need to set the local security policy before running
backup job.Yes, make sure your username (i.e. the one running the job) has log on as batch job privilege.

Restoring of rman backup

Hi all,
i got a scenerion where i need to check whether rman back is valid or not.
i have y server where production db resides and storage team kept the 7 days old rman backup in the same production server and my resposibility is to reatore the rman backup with new database name in the same server and to query the new db to cross verify that rman backup is valid or not.
oracle version : 9.2.0.4.0
os : windows
appreciated the inputs.
Thanks
Prakash

Can you solve your problem?
Now I explain this for you.Consider we have database which name is "w".We want craete new database (w1) using backup of w in same machine.Also backup of database have located in D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\flash_recovery_area\W.
First we have to create service and some directories for new W1,aslo restore spfile and controlfile as
