RMAN backup with Standard Edition

I want to backup Oracle RAC database using RMAN.I am using Standard Edition so flashback database option is not available and many RMAN related features are also not available.I have set flash recovery area of 30 GB.
Now please tell me commands to take full backup and incremental backup.
I was able to backup using format clause.
Backup database format '+rac_dg2/dbbackup/dbf_%p'
tag 'DB_full_backup' ;
but in this command I have to specify format clause otherwise backup was stored at $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
Now I want to take incemental backup
OS : Solaris 10 (sparc 64bit)
Oracle : Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition

Please suggest me where I have to change so I can store archive logs on FRA as well as on Local hard disk.
show parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
NAME TYPE VALUE
log_archive_dest string
log_archive_dest_1 string LOCATION=+RAC_DG1/INDORAC/

Standby Database with Standard Edition

Hi All,
I'm attempting to setup a Standby database with Oracle 10g Standard Edition. I must manually copy over the archive logs to my Standby database server because i'm using Standard Edition.
Once my primary database archive logs have been copied over to the standby location shouldn't the database automatically apply those archive logs? I have issued the "alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session" so my understanding is that it is in recovery mode and shoudl be finding the archive logs to apply. Can anyone confirm that this configuration should work with Standard Edition and perhaps point me in the right direction, which parameters in the init file to check, to get my standby database to apply these archive logs automatically.
Thanks,

To quickly determine the level of synchronization for the standby database, issue the following query on the physical standby database:
SQL> SELECT ARCHIVED_THREAD#, ARCHIVED_SEQ#, APPLIED_THREAD#, APPLIED_SEQ#
2> FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS;
ARCHIVED_THREAD# ARCHIVED_SEQ# APPLIED_THREAD# APPLIED_SEQ#

Ocfs with standard edition

Dear all,
We need to install 11.2.0.2 RAC on linux rhel Red Hat Enterprise Linux v5.5,x86-64 (64 bit machine) and client needs standard edition. Can I use OCFS with
standard edition or do I have to use ASM ?
kai

Oracle10g Standard Edition does not support use of using the Oracle Clustered File System (OCFS) for the physical database files. This is documented in Metalink Note ID : 358248.1.

Review the docs at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=16
Realize as well that you can only have one ASM per host. If you want to have ASM in a separate HOME, you will need to do that first, stop the existing ASM, and fire up the new one.
For transportable tablespace, according to Oracle's Licensing document, it is an EE-only feature.
(As for 'my assistance': ask a question for each problem you hit. I may or may not be available, but probably someone will pick up the question if you include the OS/DB version and show your work.)

Rman backup with standby database

Hi All,
I am looking for some suggestions for rman backup with standby database with datagaurd but no active DG. I wanted to do a rman tablespace backup. but I am stuck at sql 'alter system archive log current' in rman with standby as target. which gives following errors with or without noswitch clause
RMAN> sql 'alter system archive log current noswitch';
sql statement: alter system archive log current noswitch

Secondly, do I need to cancel manged recovery while taking rman backups on standby.
I scanned thru MOS but could find solutions for rman with active DG.
Thanks in advance

Rman backup with nocatalog

hi,
if i take backup by rman nocatalog ,where it cud be problematic if take backup in nocatalog & wt should i do to resolve them.
thxs

Hi,
As you said that you are rman is with nocatalog, then its going to use the Control file for storing the informaiton about the backups.
Could not able to understand "where it cud be problematic if take backup in nocatalog "
Got, Control file is going to store the information for a period time "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME " specifies the minimum age in days of a record before it can be reused. Manily it will fall under the "Circular reuse records".
Problem will as the if you are want to go for more than one DB, it would be problematic and cases where Control file got corrupted. Try to go Recovery Catalog.

Rman backup with corrupted block

Hello,
Firstly - I have problem on non-production database 11.2.0.1.0, so I am not deeply worried about data. But I need to understand what happened with database backups and how to prevent such things in future.
So - I have EM scheduled weekly full backup and daily incremental backups. Later there was problem with hardware and some corrupted blocks in database were found. The weekly backup ran without error and obsolete backups were deleted. Now it is not possible to "recover corruption list" because no backup without corruption exists (RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 6 found to restore). I am not worried about the lost data, but I need to find out how come the backup contains corrupted block.
I have checked the data file using dbv utility
DBVERIFY - Verification starting : FILE = /opt/oracle/oradata/orcl/users03.dbf
DBV-00200: Block, DBA 27525766, already marked corrupt
csc(0x0001.7b01729f) higher than block scn(0x0000.00000000)

Highest block SCN            : 2156227446 (1.2156227446)As you can see the datafile 6 - user03.dbf has errors. Also backups now contain errors.
1) So how is it possible that the EM scheduled backup ran without problems and the backup now contains corrupted blocks. How to prevent this in future ? I know there is setting MAXCORRUPT. How can I check its current value ? How can I configure it using EM scheduled backups ?
2) Secondly, meanwhile I studied the RMAN commands. So I have suspended EM backup jobs, and executed follwing command. And backup ran without error again. How is this possible, if data file users06.dbf has corrupted block ?
Thanks !

RMAN duplicate db Standard Edition

As many of you know, Oracle Standard Edition license allows only one channel for RMAN. Given this restriction, is it still possible to perform database duplication using RMAN? I read that you need at least an auxiliary channel. Please comment...

yes you need to auto allocate or manual allocate the channel at least one channel is must required for RMAN to work
rest out gurus will put light on it

Create a database from 32bit rman backup with NEW name on a 64bit system

Hello,
i'm more programmer than database admin but i need to set up a 10gR2 apex development server based on our productive instance in a short time.
For that i want to use a rman backup of the productive machine (SLES 10 32bit, DB10GR2+ASM, APEX 3.1).
Because of the less time i got, i want to use an existing machine (SLES 11 64bit, DB10GR2+ASM) as destination.
On this machine i want to create a new instance from the backup i took. I Already read note 881395.1 but i'm quite unsure about 2 things
a) It's VERY IMPORTANT that the development instance has another name than the productive instance.
When i follow 881395.1 and set the enviromental variable ORACLE_SID to another new name. Will this be all? Or will there be problems using another SID because of references in the controlfile or sth. like that?
b) It's VERY IMPORTANT that the datafiles aren't stored in the same path and with the same names as the productive instance. It is another server but there is already a copy of the database (our dba tried to set up a standby solution on this machine) and i don't want to bother this!
How can i rename the datafiles before restoring the backup from scatch?
I found this: set newname for datafile 1 to '<filesystem based filename>';
Will this help? Do i need to rename every single file? Or is it possible to set a path in which all datafiles will be restored?
c) What about the 32bit to 64 bit thing? Will this work? Or do i need to convert the database? How? RMAN Convert?
Or could RMAN convert anyhow used to realize the whole thing?
Thank you very much for your support!
Regards
Daniel

Manually register rman backup with oracle database 10g

Dear All.
I want to restore full backup of database.
I have not configure flash_recovery_area.
how i can manually register full rman backup of database with oracle database 10g.?
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi Kumar

This is the 10gR2 documentation on the CATALOG command :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230
You must be specific when stating the version you are running. Commands may be limited or unavailable in older versions versus more recent versions of Oracle.

Ultrasearch with Standard edition

Can someone please confirm whether or not Ultra Search can be configured with the Standard edition of the 10gR2 database ? I was not able to run the configuration from the companion CD against a Standard database, only against an Enterprise edition.
There seems to be no documentation clarifying which versions Ultra Search can be configured to run on.
Cheers,
Brent

RMAN backup with smallest backup size

Oralce 11g2 on Redhat 5. The diskspace is our tightest resource, and we want to an incremental backup with level0 on Sunday and level 1 every week days and Saturday. I am to use the comamnds to do the job--Sunday
backup incremental level 0 tag 'level_0' database plus archivelog;
--Other days
backup incremental level 1 database plus archivelog delete all input;I do not think this is the best practice nor produce smallest backup files.
What are you comments and opinions. Thanks

Pavan, Thank you for reply. Here are the info requested
what is size of DB ??
~250GB, including UNDO and TEMP. It is a dev database and not very big. But we have total 800GB disk space. After setting some housekeeoing folders, and allow some space for data growth, it leaves 180GB for flash_recovery_area.
what would be max size of archive logs generated per day ??
Variable from less than 1 GB to 12 GB
Are you taking backups to tape or Disk ??
Disk. In the 180GB flash_recovery_area, Current backup size is 152GB. If a backup fails to delete obsolete files, the next backup will fill the flash_recovery_area.
Provide the Rman configuration information ??

Rman backup with different retention

Hi,
I have to write script on RMAN backup retentions and policies.
My requirement is as below:
Daily backup Name and retentions : db_daily_bkp_sun,db_daily_bkp_mon...with 7 days retension
Weekly backup Name and retentions : db_wkly_bkp_01,db_wkly_bkp_02...with 4 backup retension
Monthly backup Name and retentions : db_mnth_bkp_jan,db_mnth_bkp_feb...with 12 backups
Yearly backup Name and retentions : db_yearly_bkp_2010,db_yearly_bkp_2011,db_yearly_bkp_2012
All backups will be full online. We have to store backups in local disk.
We have created backup locations on disk as below.
Daily : /orabackup/daily
Weekly : /orabackup/weekly
Monthly: /orabackup/monthly
Yearly : /orabackup/yearly
So is it possible to take such backups in RMAN without using any third party software ? If possible then please provide me such script.
With Regards,
Khokhar Murtuja S
Database Administrator

Hi,
RMAN will make you have only one retention.
You can have more kind of retention using the option "keep until" in your backup command.
It'll certainly do what you need.

RMAN backup with archivelogs.

Dear all,
Can i delete all archivels after the RMAN backup. Why do we backup archivelogs with RMAN backup. I think it is useless.
Please can somebody explane this.
Regards
upul indika

Why do we backup archivelogs with RMAN backup. I
think it is useless. You think backing up archivelogs is useless ? Did you ever recover a database ? Did you ever simulate a disaster recovery ? If yes, how did you do it ? If not, then you should have a look at the documentation
Anyway, you can (or even you should) delete archivelogs after the RMAN backup.
