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

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
// linked with Oracle. There should be additional messages which
// explain the cause of the error. This error usually requires
// contacting the media management vendor.

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

HP StoreEver LTO-2 Ultrium 448 SCSI Internal Tape Drive

I work for a small christain school and we moving into the modern age at the pace we can afford. I have built a small print and file server for our school. I had donated a pair of nice LTO-2 Ultrium 448 SCSI Internal Tape Drives. I installed one and got drives to auto load. But am in need of a recomendation for the best backup software. I am running windows 2008 R2 standard. 16gb of ram and 2.5 tb of storage space. Wanting to do tape backups of some important school files.
Help please
It looks like there are a dozen options but not sure where to go for this machine.

Hi:
You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- Tape Backup (Small and Medium Business) section.

Xserve and HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1840 SCSI

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on buying a new Xserve (and an Xserve RAID) and using the relatively new HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1840 SCSI (external tape drive) to do backups. The specs are over here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&task Id=120&prodSeriesId=3454484&prodTypeId=12169&objectID=c01121300
I just called EMC Insignia (was Dantz) and they say it's compatible with Retrospect for Macintosh Workgroup Edition. Now I'm a little confused at which Xserve BTO options to choose.
Is it correct that I will need to select these options?
Slot 1: Dual-Channel U320 SCSI-Card with PCI-X-Riser
Slot 2: Dual-Channel 4 GBit Fibre Channel-PCI-Express-Card
If I understand correctly I need the U320 card to connect the Ultrium and the Dual Fibre Channel to connect ONE Xserve RAID, am I correct?
Thanks a lot!
Björn

Yes, you have the right combination of cards there.
However, please rethink your choice of software.
There are numerous horror stories on these boards and others related to Retrospect in a Server environment. For some reason it just does not work, causing instability, hangs, poor performance and system crashes.
There are better alternatives including NetVault, BRU and Time Navigator, amongst others.

Hi;
Can any one advice if any error or guide to make RMAN backup proper :
Backup Policy are:
1.     0 level backup
2.     current log file is arvhived before backing up
3.     backup whole database (datafiles)
4.     backup separate control file
5.     backup is done on disk
6.     control file auto backup ON
7.     only 7 days archive log are need to be preserve ; old need to be deleted

Dear Pierre F.;
Actually, I just added in my backup plan to have daily backup through RMAN, instead of COLD backup.
I have planned to take cold backup once a week. here is the side of data:
*** datafile 410
*** size of database : 86 GM
*** relog files size : 250MB
*** daily archive logs are : 250MB * 4(number of files) = 1GM aprox.
yes, time constraint is there; just because of the size of database. and we r going for 24/7
Is this script going to run only one per week ?
Ans: no I this was level 0 backup; i will take level 1 incremental backup with same script daily too.
Do you have any other RMAN script ?
ANS: no, I will modify same script for incremental.
after local copy of backup all backup files (RMAN) will be copy over network to backup server or we can install LTO tape device to copy directly from database server.
kindly advise me I am new in RMAN.
regards;
SMITH

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 /

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

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 ….

create table scott.emp1(col1 varchar2(10));
insert into emp1(col1) value('Yasir ') ;
commit ;
select * from emp1 ;
it shows me one row successfully.
Now i have login the sys as sysdba

Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are

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

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;"

Create a new Database in an other server using a copie of RMAN backup

Hi all,
I want to create an other instance for our production database. We have disk and tape in rman backup. My question is can i create a new database using our disk backup in an other server?
If some procedure or steps is there, email it to my adresse [email protected]
Hamid.
Thanks

By means of the use of Recovery Manager it is possible to duplicate a database out from a previously taken rman backup. The method will be outlined in the next few lines.
Let's assume a source database named SRCDB and the target database, named GEMINI. A unix like environment is assumed, but it can be implemented on windows as well, just beware of the particular Oracle implementation on a windows platform (orapwd file name, service creation, path format)
1. Create a password file for the Cloned (GEMINI) instance:
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/dbs/orapwGEMINI password=password entries=10
2. Configure tnsnames.ora and listner.ora
Properly identify the database at the tnsnames.ora and have the instance manually registered against the listener.ora files, both files located at the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
2.a Manually register the database against the listener (listener.ora)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0)
(SID_NAME = GEMINI)
2.b Added the target GEMINI to the tnsnames.ora
GEMINI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(ORACLE_SID = GEMINI)
2.c Reload the listener
lsnrctl reload
3. Create a new init.ora for the cloned database.
Next create an init.ora file for the cloned database. In case the same paths cannot be used on the target host, either because it is the same source host or because those paths are not reproducible on the target, then DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT may be required to be defined
DB_NAME=GEMINI
CONTROL_FILES=(/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control01.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control02.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control03.ctl)
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure.
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u02/oradata/SRCDB/,/u02/oradata/GEMINI/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/oradata/SRCDB/,/u01/oradata/GEMINI/)
# block_size and compatible parameters must match those of the source database
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.0.0
4. Connect to the cloned instance
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
5. Create an SPFILE based on the init.ora
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/GEMINI/pfile/init.ora';
6. Start the database in NOMOUNT mode:
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
7. Connect to the TARGET, CATALOG and AUXILIARY databases.
By means of the rman three connections are open, one for the Source Database (SOURCEDB), another for the Catalog database (RCAT), and one more for the cloned database (GEMINI)
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
rman TARGET sys/password@SRCDB CATALOG rman/rman@RCAT AUXILIARY /
8. Complete or Incomplete clone (recover)
From the rman the database using one of the following commands:
8.a Clone the database by means of a complete recover.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI;
8.b Clone the database up to a defined point in time in the past by means of an incomplete recover
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-2';
9. Process finished.
Once the process is finished, the newly created GEMINI database is ready to be used as an independent new cloned database.

I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.

Friends,
I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.
The issue is related with a lock while trying to backup the controlfile.
The lock is more likely caused by the autobackup controlfile process started just before RMAN process was also trying the backup controlfile as shown in the following alert.log excerpt.

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

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

is there any RMAN command to specify new DB name it should set while running

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.

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.
