RMAN backups from Windows to Linux possible?

The company just bought a new PowerEdge 2900 w/ dual EM64T Core2 duos (yes that's quads) w/ 8GB RAM. We opted for RHEL ES4 and 9i. I figure the best way of transfering the data from the old machine to the new machine is RMAN. So is it possible to take RMAN backups made in 9.2.0.1 on Windows and restore in 9.2.0.7 (64bit) on RHEL ES4?
If not will export/import work?

Not sure why 10g import/export came into the discussion, but some clarification is needed.
If the OP considers import/export, he (or she) would have to export with with the 9.2.0.1 exp executable and import with the 9.2.0.7 imp executable.
I agree with Mohamadi52,
exp -> 9i client
imp -> 9i or 10g clientThe OP wouldn't be able to use the 10g client to import into a 9.2.0.7 database.
how big is your database? Just curious if this offers other options?

RMAN Backup from windows to Linux

Hi,
I am having Windows 2003 server Oracle 10.2
and I have RHEL5 and Oracle 10.2
I have taken a RMAN Oracle Database Backup from windows..
I have installed oracle software on RHEL5 and now i need to restore this backup to the Linux
it is possible to restore it? if possible can any one let me know the process?
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

I have another doubt
I took RMAN full DB Backup - it comes around 2.5 G (performed on time 9.00 A.M morning)
When i perform differential incremental backup it comes around 2.6 G (performed on time 9.45 A.M )
Why it is coming like this.. The backup should happen only for the changed blocks alone?? i.e it should come around 10 Mb or 20 Mb?? Why is like this? or my understanding of differential backup is wrong?
I issued the below commands for Full DB Backup and Incremental Backup...
FULL DB backup at 9.00 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
Differentail Backup a 9.45 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 DATABASE;

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

Restore database from windows to linux

Hi,
I want to restore my Oralce in windows to another Linux box,
my windows is windows 2003 R2 64bit, Oracle 11.2.0.2
and my Linux is Oracle Linux 5.5, Oracle 11.2.0.3,
I managed to create an instance in the linux box, restore the controlfile and datafile and catalog the archivelogs,
but when I do recovery, below errors prompt

is that mean it is not possible to restore the db from one platform to another?
(I read some oralce note that it is possible to setup datagurad between window and linux)
Thank
Vincent

Vincent;
is that mean it is not possible to restore the db from one platform to another?It's possible, but there's quite a lot of planning that needed to be done.
The Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide should have a section on Transporting Data Across Platforms.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmxplat.htm
You need to use dbms_tdb.check_db to test if it can be done with the OS's you have in mind.
There's a fairly good example here, but not using the exact OS's you have in mind.
http://mohamedazar.com/2011/06/08/transport-an-entire-database-to-a-different-platform/
My understanding is it won't transport certain items :
Control files and Redo logs
Bfiles
Temp files
External tables
Directories
Password files
Also you need to create a new instance before you can use RMAN backups from the source.
Here's another example :

RMAN backup from remote pc !

Dear Friends ,
In my database Linux server I have no enough space to take RMAN backup since my database size around 90 GB .
So in this moment I want to take the rman backup form remote machine(From windows or Linux), where all the datafile backup of my Linux database server also goes to the remote machine . is it possible to do ?
Or is there any way to take RMAN backup(datafile,controlfile,spfile backup from server to client) from remote machine without increasing the HDD space of the Local server ?
Waiting for your kind reply ... ...

Use third party tools like data-protector or use Oracle secure backup to make backups other than local server.

10gR2 to 11gR2 from Windows to Linux with 6TB Database.

Hi,
I need to do migration from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0 and from Windows to Linux for 6TB database Size. As both Endian format same, I did the migration using RMAN Convert database on UAT but for same 10gR2 version.(Both Source on Target Oracle Version was 10.2.01.0). Now I have to migrate from 10gR2 to 11.2.0.2.0. So it's 2 way process.
is it possible to club these 2 way migration process ???
Are following steps right or any modification is required ??
1) Install 11.2.0.2.0 on Linux OS
2) Open Source Database (Windows) in Read Only. Generate TRANSPORT.SQL, CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN & Pfile.
3) Copy Source datafiles in temporary location on Target OS. Also copy above files.
4) Create dummy controlfile.
5) Startup nomount with Changed pfile
6) Mount database with Dummy Controlfile.
7) Run CONVERTSCRIPT.RMAN to convert actual datafiles from Windows Platform to Linux Platform.
8) Shutdown the instance and delele Dummy Controlfiles.
9) Edit TRANSPORT.SQL and do Appropriate Changes like redolog files, datafiles path...
Now my question is, can I add ?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql in TRANSPORT.SQL script after Startup upgarade command so that Complete Upgradation to 11.2.0.2.0 would be done.
10) Then run TRANSPORT.SQL on Target System (11.2.0.2.0)
Tell me if more inputs are required from my side...

The directory structure is different...that's why you need to create the tablespaces in Linux. e.g. export dump says create tablespace in D:\..., there is no such thing in Linux. You can just export it, install software, create the db, tablespaces in Linux and import into the 10g in Linux.

Taking rman backup from a different server

HI Al,
Is it possible for us run the rman backup from a different server other than the server on which database exist .
For Ex :
Our database is on server X
But , I want to schedulde the archive backup from the server Y .
How can we do this and is it possible ...

Migrating database from windows to linux using dbca templates

Hi every one,
Is it possible to migrate Oracle10g database from Windows to Linux by using DBCA templates?????????????
If yes please guide me, as i tried it and am getting error while creating database on linux using DBCA templates of Windows server.
Warm regards,
Veeresh.S
(Oracle DBA)

With DBCA you can create a new database, delete a database, create ASM, and manage templates.
There's no option of migrating a database from one platform to the other. If you want to migrate your database from Windows to Linux you have 2 ways of doing it:
1 using IMP/EXP Export you db on windows and Import it on Linux.
2 Use across platform transportable tablespace if you db is already on 10g.

Date Formating Issue (moved from Windows to LINUX)

Although the move shouldn't have been an issue, moved an OBIEE installation from Windows to LINUX (Windows is still up) and now have date problems with any drill down into the metrics (SC).

Any Ideas?
Thanks

SCOTT, I suggest checking step-by-step.
a) check the value of the variable
b) check the value of cast(Dates."Start Date" as timestamp)
c) Check the results by substituting those 2 with someone else (regular integers)....

How can I copy from windows to linux with samba, so this doesn't happen?
Please help

After the file is initially created in Linux:
What are the owner and group for the directory in which the file resides?
What are the directory permissions?
What are the owner and group for the file?
What are the file permissions?
What is the OS name of the oracle user?
