RMAN backup in ORACLE RAC database

Hi there,
We are using RMAN backup strategy for taking backups from one node(eg.node1).Database is RAC database, version 9.2.3. and OS is Solaris 5.10.
this is the configuration which we use, as follows:
Connecting to Prod.Database using catalog database.
rman catalog=rman/rman@CATDB target=sys/oracle@PRODDB(node 2).
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 30;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/rmanback/_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 5;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/CMWPROD_%s.bak';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK CONNECT 'SYS/oracle@PRODDB(node2)';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO 7 G;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/9.2.3/dbs/snapcf_CMWPROD1.f';
As the above config shows RMAN is connecting to PROD DB (node 2). But we need to take backups (datafiles and as well as archive logs) from two nodes (i.e from node 1 and as well as node 2).
Is there any possibility for taking backups from two nodes?
Thanks,
Balu.

RMAN Backup script for RAC Database..please suggest

Hi All,
I am currently working on backup policy for RAC Database for my client.The client requirement is to backup while database is shutdown(mount state).I have made below script and could any one please suggest what further things should I need to add with below rman script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Start Full Database Backup on";date
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog <<EOF

exit
EOF
echo "RMAN Backup Finished on";date
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
echo "Start Database";date
srvctl start database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
Please share your experiences.

Hi,
Some tweaks for your script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount1. If you database does not shutdown properly , does your script stops the execution of next step?
2. configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';(Why you need to configure this every time) ?
It's persistent at db level one time setting (until some other script changes the settings by other dba - else remove that - set the configuration at db level once for all)

RMAN backup and Oracle RAC

Hello,
I am newbie with Oracle RAC 11g.
So, I do the following steps to configure RMAN to back up the Oracle RAC:
- Create a tablespace to RMAN User;
- Create the user rman;
- Connect to catalog (the databsae RAC itself);
- Register the database;
- Create the "complete_backup" script on catalog.
So, when I enter on Enterprise Manager, I can see
the "Availability" tab and the "Recovery Catalog Settings" link.
I setup the user rman that I've created with the host RAC1.
Is this really necessary on EM? The "Backup Setting" on EM
is equals to rman (database user) catalog?
When I go to "Schedule backup", I want to use the "complete_backup" script
that I've created. What the best way to schedule this script
to run each sunday, for example?
Thank you.

Hi,
To perfom a test you can create a new single database (RCVCAT) in one of the hosts that you have.
Create a database without any option with and use minimum of memory (don't use memory_target) set pga (50M) and sga(400M).
Create a user RMAN; with Grant connect,resource,recovery_catalog_owner.
Tablespace RCVCAT;
With RMAN connect on RCVCAT and create your catalog.

You will need to setup an NFS share such that both nodes can access each other's archived redo logs area. You also need to ensure your LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter settings are properly set. Once setup correctly, either node will be able to run the backup and include each other's archived redo log files. Since this is RAC, the data files are shared by design and either node can already backup these files.
Multiple channels would allow 'simultaneous' backup of the archived redo logs.
I would highly recommend using a CFS (single shared file system where all nodes store their archived redo logs distinguished by thread) to store the archived redo logs, this reduces administration and configuration especially when you get ready to scale.
Hope this helps.

Configuring rman backup for oracle on rac cluster

Hi GURUS
We are buying installation oracle rac on a two node server. We do backup our db using rman and TSM .
Does anyone have any guidance on using TSM scheduled TDP backups with
Oracle RAC multi-node?
More to that, is it possible to have multiple archive log destination?
Any advice would be appreciated.
David

While you can have archives going to different destinations, on different nodes, it is not advisable because if these destinations are not reachable in case of a node/system failure, you have no access to these archive logs.
Actually for easy accesibility it would be better to place the archive logs of all instnaces on shared storage. If you are using ASM and using a FRA disk group, you may want to have your archives go into this location.
NFS mounting filesystems could be slower and may have certain perforamance implications.

RMAN / backup. oracle 9 vs. oracle 10

My colleague mentioned a while ago that we had to investigate RMAN &/or a backup client, "because in oracle 10, when doing an export of a live db, oracle does not switch into "single user mode" like it did in 9. So we couldn't have 100% faith in our .dmp file."
I'd like to do some further research on this, but looking through the "Oracle 10 Complete reference" and googling - I don't see any information about it. Has anyone here dealt with this or know of a link I should see?
Finally... Does anyone know if an RMAN backup for Oracle 10 accounts for any "in progres" transactions?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Oracle, itself, doesn't switch to single user mode.
Your colleague might have been talking of scripts which shutdown and restart the
database in restricted mode to run an export of the database.
RMAN backups as in 8.0/8i/9i/10g (or EBU in Oracle 7) and scripted (aka
"user managed") backups are all physical backups. They take database blocks
"as they are". Conceptually, the datafile backups aren't aware of active transactions.
It is the redo stream in the archivelogs that is required for you to be able to restore
and recreate a consistent database image.

Best pratices for RMAN backup management for many databases

Dear all,
We have many 10g databases (>40) hosted on multiple Windows servers which are backup up using RMAN.
A year ago, all backup's were implemented through Windows Scheduled Tasks using some batch files.
We have been busy (re)implementing / migrating such backup in Grid Control.
I personally prefer to maintain the backup management in Grid Control, but a colleague wants now to go back to the batch files.
What i am looking for here, are advices in the management of RMAN backup for multiple databases: do you guys use Grid Control or any third-party backup management tool or even got your home-made solution?
One of the discussion topic is the work involved in case that the central backup location changes.
Well... any real-life advices on best practices / strategies for RMAN backup management for many databases will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,
Thierry H. wrote:
Thanks for your reaction.
So, i understand that Grid Control is for you not used to manage the backups, and as a consequence, you also have no 'direct' overview of the job schedules.
One of my concern is also to avoid that too many backups are started at the same time to avoid network / storage overload. Such overview is availble in Grid Control's Jobs screen.
And, based on your strategy, do you recreate a 'one-time' Oracle scheduled job for every backup, or do your scripts create an Oracle job with multiple schedule?
You're very welcome!
Well, Grid Control is not an option for us, since each customer is in a separate infrastructure, and with their own licensing. I have no real way (in difference to your situation) to have a centralized point of control, but that on the other hand mean that I don't have to consider network/storage congestion, like you have to.
The script is run from a "permanent" job within the dba-scheduler, created like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
        job_name        => 'BACKUP',
        job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
        job_action      => '/home/oracle/scripts/rman_backup.sh',
        start_date      => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48,
        repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48',
        enabled         => true,
        auto_drop       => false,
        comments        => 'execute backup script at 03:30');and then the "master-script", determines which level to use, based on weekday from the OS. The actual job schedule (start date, run interval etc) is set together with the customer IT/IS dept, to avoid congestion on the backup resources.
I have no overview of the backup status, run times etc, but have made monitoring scripts that will alert me if/when a backup either fails, or runs for too long. This, in addition with scheduled disaster/recovery tests makes me sleep rather well at night.. ;-)
I realize that there (might be) better ways of doing backup scheduling in your environment, since my requirements are so completely different than yours, but I guess that we all face the same challenges in unifying the environments as much as possible, to minimize the amount of actual work we have to do. :-)
Good luck!

Use Oracle RAC Database 10g on SunOS nova 5.9

Hello!
We use Oracle RAC Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0 - 64bit that consist of two nodes on SunOS nova 5.9 Generic_117171-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440.
Connection string as follows:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host2)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=proddb))).
Clustered Java application performs direct JDBC INSERT of record into database throw oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource.
Table got the following fields:
FIELD1 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD2 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD3 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD4 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD5 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD6 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD7 INTEGER,
FIELD8 BLOB,
FIELD9 BLOB
Approx in 60 milliseconds another application node performs SELECT of that record, which return void result. However next SELECT returns needed result.
Defect is occurs with 50% probability.
Whether problem is connected with defect in Oracle RAC/JDBC Driver?
Thanks in advance!

RAC propogates commit messages using a method which piggy-backs on the next available inter-instance message. I think it's called the Lampart Method, but anyways .... it means you have an uncontrollable delay between committed data in your two instances.
Look at the init.ora parameter max_commit_propagation_delay, and consider setting it to 0. The parameter is briefly described in the Oracle Reference Guide.

Help required of creating Oracle RAC database having multiple instances

Hello Guys!
I want to create one database having 2 instances on Oracle 11g R1
I have 2 nodes in this Oracle RAC
Database name will be Val
and instance name on node 1 will be val1 and instance name on node 2 will be val2
Raw storage will be used, that is, without using automatic storage management or an Oracle Cluster File System
Can anyone help how to do that ?
Thanks

Hi,
Wonderful example thanks for the link.You're welcome :)
I'm little confused which option to choose in shared storage option of DBCA
i.e. Cluster File System or Raw devices?I suggest you to use ASM for you database storage requirement and select raw devices. oracle recommends to use ASM storage for sahred database.
thanks,

Enterprise User Security (EUS) with Oracle RAC database

Hi all,
i'm experiencing a problem configuring centralized AAA on Oracle OID for Oracle RAC Database.
My environment is:
1) Oracle OID 10g (192.168.15.245 - rh4oidserver.klab.it)
2) Oracle RAC database 11g
I successfull configured a standalone Oracle Database to authenticate user in OID centralized repository, but i'm experiencing different problem to do, with RAC, same things.
In dept:
1) Oracle RAC works correctly and internal user (SYS,Oracle, ecc.) are correctly authenticated and authorizated against database
2) Oracle RAC register himself in OID (see attached snapshoot)
3) I run sqlplus to connect on Oracle RAC using OID users and i get following error: ORA-28030 Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service
Using a sniffer, i can see a reset message after SSL handshake (SSL v3 encrypted alert), but i don't undenstand root cause....
Host file on RAC server is:

ORA-19602 during backup of a RAC database with RMAN

Dear All,
We have an Oracle 10g database on a 2 nodes. This database is running in noarchivelog mode. While doing an offline backup of this database, we encountered ora-19602 errors. See below:
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:55
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backupset
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 03/30/2009 09:56:10
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG modeBelow were the steps that we followed:
1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
2. We then "rman target /"
3. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
4. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
5. RMAN failed with the above errors
Can someone advice what went wrong? Thanks!

Hi..
1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
2. export oracle_sid=sid
3. We then "rman target /"
4. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
5. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
Changed step 2.
Also, from sqlplus can you check the
select name,open_mode from v$database;
select STATUS from v$instance;
