RMAN backup restoration on a different server under ASM .

Hello Experts,
This is regarding new installation of Oracle RAC 11gR2 on AIX 6.1 . Its a two node cluster setup , using ASM . As i am newbie for RMAN , I would like to know how i can restore my rman backup to another uat server which has standby database again cofigured under asm .
Thanks for your kind help .

Hi ,
Thanks for reply
1) I performed the full database backup on source .
2) Source (prod) and target remote database (uat) are in ASM and have same DG for datafiles .
3) I have transfered the backup from production to UAT . I have already running uat database
do i need to drop it before i start the restoration ? My final purpose is just to refresh target with production backup . Kindly advice the steps from here to proceed with .
Thank you

Hi,
We are using oracle 11gR2 on AIX 6.1,
We need to restore RMAN backup from RAC to single instance ASM,
Im new to RAC & ASM, What will be the changes
What will be steps involved into it.
Thanks

Hello,
Refer this MOS doc *HowTo Restore RMAN Disk backups of RAC Database to Single Instance On Another Node [ID 415579.1]*
On the Single Instance ASM, you need to specify the diskgroup name for the parameters "control_files, db_create_file_dest"

Solution : As in above case, I have started the database in mount and then alter it to the open mode but it doesnot work out. After some analysis ,troubleshooting and googling, we have decided to flush the shared pool component of the SGA .

Can rman backups be used to restore to a different server

We are using R12 with 10gr2 database
If i take Rman backups, can they be used to restore on some other test server for cloning and bringing that test server upto date like the production.
I am confues and dont know and This is the only reason i dont use rman for backups, instead take cold backups manually every night as they are used every week to clone some other server for testing purpose
Please advice
Thanks

Hi..
1. Copy the pfile to the new server.
2. startup nomount the database using the pfile.
3. Open a new RMAN session and connect to this database
4. Restore the controlfile, this will bring the database in mount stage
5. Once step 4 is completed, restore and recover the database.
NOTE:-- These are the steps for restoring the database when the RMAN backup pieces are copied to the same location as they are on the main server.If you copy the rman backup to some different location, then you will have to use the CATALOG BACKUPPIECE 'location' command before restoring the database.

Backup few partitions from a database and restore them on different server

I have a Database called Datamart. Datamart database has multiple partitioned tables and the database has different filegroups and partitions. I would split the database on to three servers with one-third of the database on each.
If the database has 1500 partitions, then 0-499 on server1 Datamart database, 500-999 on server2 Datamart database and 1000-500 on server3 Datamart database.

RMAN backup restore on new server with CATALOG START WITH

Hello Experts,
CATALOG START WITH
is this required RMAN in catalog mode ?

Disastor Recovery with RMAN : Restore backup on new separate Server
Edited by: 873142 on Jul 18, 2011 9:27 PM

If you use a recovery catalog and want to duplicate database in a fresh server.
1. connect with the target database.
2. connect with the recovery catalog.
3. connect with the auxiliary database.
4. Run the duplicate command.
Before running the duplicate command copy the backup piece to your fresh server from the target server. Both mount point should be same.

RMAN backup, restore across different versions

OS : Solaris 10
I have an RDBMS software only installation of 11.2.0.3 in a server ---> Server B
I have my source DB running on another server which is of version 11.2.0.1.0 -----> Server A
Is it possible to take RMAN backup of the source DB of version 11.2.0.1.0 and use it create a DB of 11.2.0.3.0 in server B ?
Is the same possible for 10.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.3.0 ?

I believe its this

RMAN Backup then moving to different location.

Hi,
Any help is much appreciated.
I have a situation where I must backup a 1TB database to a different location than where the database resides using rman, there is also an rman catalog being used, the backup location is NFS mounted on the database server.
If I backup directly to the NFS mount, it takes about 5 hours.
If I backup locally on the server the database resides, the backup is completed in just over 1 hour.
One option I have is to backup the database locally then immediately after wards copy the backup files to the backup location over NFS. However, when it comes to backing up the database he following day, it assumes the backup no longer exists.
The question is :
If I do 1 level 0 backups and 6 level 1 backups per week and each day rman finds no backup files, how will it know at what point the level 1 backup should start from ? Will the backups valid in the event of a restore ?
In the event of a restore, if I copied over the backup files from the nfs mounted backup location to the local disk, will rman be able to identify that these are the backup files it had created and now can be used for a restore ?
Below are 2 copies of the backup script, Level 0 and level 1 :
rman target $TARGET_DB@$ORACLE_SID catalog $CATALOG_DB <<EOD1
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
resync catalog;
run {
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 5;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '$BACKUP_DIR/CTL_%F';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_DIR/DB_L0_%d_%U';
backup spfile;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE include current controlfile filesperset 4;
EOD1
rman target $TARGET_DB@$ORACLE_SID catalog $CATALOG_DB <<EOD1
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
resync catalog;
run {
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 5;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '$BACKUP_DIR/CTL_%F';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_DIR/DB_L1_%d_%U';
backup spfile;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE include current controlfile filesperset 20;
EOD1

Where shall I start?
This is yet again a post where including the four digit version number was considered irrelevant, though functionality of RMAN changes with every new release. Whether this is Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g, who can tell.
It is at least 9i style code, with many misunderstandings on how RMAN works.
First of all, by relocating your backup to a NFS mounted drive you make it unavailable to the catalog.
By running crosscheck the status of the backup will go to expired, so it will not be considered anymore.
Secondly, making a RMAN backup on a NFS device is dangerous. You don't specify an OS (also irrelevant) but I had to observe a backup to a correctly mounted NFS device (with a 32k read buffer and a 32k write buffer) couldn't be restored
in a later stage as the backup was 'corrupt'.
Thirdly, 'restore database' will only consider level 0 backups. This means: when the level 0 backup is no longer available, you can not restore your database, l1 backups are only used in the recover phase.
Fourthly, there are few minor problems in the backup scripts, as when datafile 0 is being backed up the spfile and controlfile are included. Also you don't seem to autobackup the controlfile.
All in all, my crystal ball tells me in the event of disaster, you will have no backup at all.
Time to review this situation. Urgently!

Database restore on a different server

I have a database ORADB1 running on unix server and I took a hot backup using a script and restored it on the same server as ORADB2 and opened the database to verify it comes up and then shut it down.
Now I have to restore ORADB2 into a different server and bring it up as ORADB1 and I can't take another backup due to performance issue on the server, can someone tell me the steps involved in this?
Thanks

Yes - this would be no different than the way you created ORADB2 from ORADB1 to begin with.
Use the same process by modifying the initialization file. If you use a different directory structure you will need to modify the control file since it specifies the location of the datafiles. You can execute
alter database backup controlfile to traceto put a 'text' copy of the binary control file in a trace file. Then extract the text to a a new file and modify the directory paths for the datafiles.
Just remember that your new ORADB1 will not contain the same data as your original ORADB1 since users have been making changes this entire time.

RMAN backup restoration on diff OS

Hi,
Is it possible to restore an RMAN backup taken on AIX on Solaris?
Any special tasks need to be done?

As you know, AIX and Solaris are two different type of operating systems. It's not possible to copy RMAN backups from one host (AIX) and restore it at the second host (Solaris)
File headers will be different and the system will not recognize the datafiles

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.

RMAN Backup Restore from tape

Hello Gurus
We have lvl0 RMAN database backup restored from tape but due to some reasons we could not apply recovery on it. On checking the information in controlfile, it identified only the system file and no other file. So, we recreated the controlfile and decided to recover using backup controlfile option (until cancel or until change or until time). However, to my surprise, when I listed the checkpointchange# and checkpoint_time columns of v$datafile_header, I found the difference in timestamps ranging 24 hrs -- which menat we had to apply 24 hrs of archiving to bring all dbfs to a consistent state (before it allowed us to open the db) -- so far so good, it worked that way.
My question is that, while I trigger a lvl0 RMAN backup at say 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July (as I am directly pushing around 1 TB data to tapes) -- what is the consistency timestamp of this backup. In other words, is this backup available for a restore of 4PM 27th July? Or is it available only for a restore of 4PM 28th July and later ...?
Isn't it that RMAN works at block level and when I fire a backup it should give me all the dbf's of that timestamp..?
Appreciate your inputs/comments.

When taking a online backup with RMAN, the datafiles backup is always inconsistent because it needs the archived redo logs generated during the backup to be consistent: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro005.htm#sthref70.
A full online backup can only be used to restore the database to a point in time starting after backup end: if a backup starts at 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July you can use it to restore the database to a point in time after 28-JUL 4PM.

Backup / Restore Test on SQL server. Am I right?

Hello Colleagues,
We want to execute the following plan in order to test our backup&restore infrastucture. Please couls you point me if I´m leaving something back?
SQL Server 2005 SAP nw2004s based system (I think that the below procedure is valid no matter the system is Abap standalone, JAVA standalone or ABAP+JAVA standalone)
We want to Stop SAP production System HRP in production host.
Detach HRP SQL server in production Host.
Restore from the last full backup on production Host changing the database name to HRPNEW (logical name and filenames)
Attach the new restored files to the SQL Server 2005 (I think that this point is not needed because the restore will leave the database operational if I mark the corresponding option)
Start Sap System and check that everything is OK inside.
Stop SAP system again
detach HRPNEW database
attach HRP original database
Start SAP system and check
FInally delete db files and log files from HRPNEW database.
What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards

Thank you for your response.
But, is it needed if I´m restoring in the production server (same host name) the database with another name?
Or you meant to change the database name in anywhere?
Thanks
Regards!

RMAN backup goes to filesystem and not to ASM diskgroup

Hi,
DB: 11.2.0.1
OS: Linux
Parameter configured in database:
SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest
NAME TYPE VALUE
db_recovery_file_dest string +BACKUP
db_recovery_file_dest_size big integer 10184M
If i execute the command " RMAN> backup database; " , then the backup ( backup pieces) is going to +BACKUP destination and this is as expected.
But, if i execute the same command using script, then the backup pieces are going to filesystem(default location $ORACLE_HOME/dbs ).
Could you suggest me(if i understood wrongly), why the backup pieces are going to the location of filesystem , and not to the ASM diskgroup ?.
I want to take the backup to ASM diskgroup, because of less space at filesystem.
The script i used is this:
[oracle@rac1 rmanscripts]$ more online.sh
export ORACLE_SID=test;
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss';
umask 022
date
rman target / cmdfile online.rcv msglog online.log
[oracle@rac1 rmanscripts]$ more online.rcv
run {
backup

tag b_db_full_test
filesperset 2
format 'df_%d_%t_%s_%p'
database include current controlfile;
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Hi mseberg,
Thanks for your reply and the thing is that the controlfile autobackup is going to ASM diskgroup ( +BACKUP).
