RMAN BACKUPSET and COPY

Hi,
in 10g R2
what is the difference between :
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COPY;And :
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;Thanks.

Dear friend, BACKUPSET is a repository where all the backedup datafiles,controlfiles,archivelog files and spfile are stored as one SET. Where are if you mention you use COPY then each file that has been copies will be kept in each separate file.
You can get better idea if you look below...
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COPY;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET PARALLELISM 1;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COPY PARALLELISM 1;

Expired RMAN backupset?

Dear all,
I copied all the RMAN backupset and found this is expired. Is it possible to make this valid, NOT EXPIRED.

What are the caveats of using ASM as storage for RMAN backupsets?

Hello all,
We are currently evaluating RAC as our standard database platform. Until now we have been using 10g single instance with ASM for datafiles and local filesystems for RMAN backupsets and archivelogs. We chose to use local fileystems for backup components so that we can utilize a Tivoli filesystem backup in order to secure the backup pieces to tape.
With RAC, we are looking into a shared location for backupsets and archivelogs. OCFS2 is out of the picture due to it not functioning on top of linux LVM. It appears that our only "shared" option is to use ASM for backupsets and archivelogs.
My concern is that while the data diskgroups and rman diskgroups will be separate, they are both running on ASM and therefore if ASM fails or is corrupted, we have nothing. My current plan is to utilize the Tivoli RMAN MML (TDPO) to backup the backupsets to tape after the ASM backupset has completed.
What experiences have been had with using ASM for RMAN backups?
Any advice on additional protection we can employ to ensure that the database remains recoverable?
Thanks in advance,
David

I've personally haven't implemented RMAN with ASM, but you may want to review Faster Backup, Faster Recovery which discusses RMAN utilizing ASM.
And although you may not get any of the negative aspects from these presentations, you may want to check out High Availability Customer Case Studies, Presentations, Profiles, Analyst Reports, and Press Releases.
Hope this helps!

Restoring RMAN cumulative and differential backupsets

Hi all,
I have 2 queries regarding restoring and recovering rman backupsets.
1) i have backup policy for sunday level 0, wednesdays cumulative backup and other days of the week differential backup.Now if my database crashes on friday afternoon.What would be my action plans for restoring and recovering the database with brief steps for the same.
2)Suppose i have retention policy for 2.And i have a backupset which has become obsolate as the result.Is it possible to restore and recover this obsolate backupset?
Regards
Vijay

1) i have backup policy for sunday level 0, wednesdays cumulative backup and other days of the week differential backup.Now if my database crashes on friday afternoon.What would be my action plans for restoring and recovering the database with brief steps for the same.
Step 1: start up Internet Explorer or Firefox or Chrome
Step 2: Type http://tahiti.oracle.com in the address bar
Step 3: Navigate to the homepage of the version you refuse to mention
Step 4: Look for the Backup and Recovery Manual
Step 5: Consult the Restore and Recovery scenarios in that doc
2)Suppose i have retention policy for 2.And i have a backupset which has become obsolate as the result.Is it possible to restore and recover this obsolate backupset?
Suppose I hired you as a DBA. My database crashes. You start visiting Oracle Forums immediately instead of restoring and recovering the database.
In fact you don't seem to have a clue on the process as you think you can recover a backupset.
What should I do?

I 'am using rman to take my backup using grid control.
The database size is around 110 GB and a full ' level 0' backup is taking around 14 hrs.
Does it take this much time??

backup or copy?
The subject line contradicts the rest of your post.
And backup and copy are two entirely different things.
copy will copy the datafile, all of it.
Also, it might not be advantageous to have parallelism > the number of instances.
You now have multiple sessions hitting the same disks.
You also would need to examine progress using gv$backup_sync_io or gv$backup_async_io and gv$session_longops.

Can we rename/relocate the RMAN backupset?

Hi All,
Can we rename/relocate the RMAN backupset?
I have the following scenerio:
1.took tha backup on /u99 mountpoint using rman
2.copy the entire backup to tape
3.filesystem /u99 scrapped
4.created new filesystem /u101
5.copy the backup to /u101 from tape.
Now we have to restore the database..but problem is that rman dont know /u101, by default it will search from /u99 filesystem...how to tell rman take the backup from /u101 not from /u99...
Please help me
Regards
Symal

You need to use the RMAN command
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE <datafile_number> TO ‘<path_and_filename>’;
for each datafile you want to restore and recover.

ORA-01152 when restoring from RMAN backupset in NOARCHIVELOG mode

Hi all,
I got the error ORA-01152 when I tried restoring an Oracle 10g R1 database from an RMAN backupset into a new server. The error returned when it reached to the level of opening the database in resetlogs.
The database runs on NOARCHIVELOG mode and on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit.
Following is what I did in RMAN:

RMAN backup and restore for Disaster Recovery

Hi Guys,
I am very new to Oracle and have a question about RMAN backup and restore feature. I am simulating a disaster recovery scenario by having two VMs running oracle 11g, say hosta and hostb, hosta is sort of production db and the other a disaster recovery db (one that will be made primary when disaster occurs). My goal is to backup production db using RMAN and restore it on the other machine. For some reason when I restore the db on hostb, the command restores the previous backup but not the most recent one e.g. I took a backup yesterday (09/20) and applied it to the hostb that worked fine, but when I try to apply a fresh backup from today (09/21) it always picks up the old backup. Here's a dump of the screen:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help here. I redid everything all over again to get all the information you guys wanted. Since I noticed that more eyes are looking into this I am going to reiterate my steps one more time followed by specific answers to questions. My first backup on Host B is located under ..../restore_db/backupset whereas the subsequent one is under .../restore_db/backupset/backupset2.
I take backup on Host A using:
rman target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
backup spfile;
quit;
I restore the backup on Host B using:
set dbid=13732232063;
startup force nomount;
restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110928T171830_787gbpxh_.bkp'
shutdown immediate;
startup force nomount;
restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20110928T171638_787gbkxn_.bkp'
quit;
/* restart rman here */
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset' noprompt;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
quit;
I take another backup on Host A using (notice no spfile backup this time):
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
quit;
I restore the database on Host B using:
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/backupset2' noprompt;
recover database;
alter database open;
quit;

FIles of same RMAN backupset

Hello all gurus,
Sir,
Version : ORACLE 9.2.0.1.0
O/S : Windows XP
I wish to know how can I check which physical files are of same RMAN backupset.
Thanks in Advance

You can do two things.
Issue from the RMAN prompt, list backup;
This will give you the listing of the backupsets and pieces. Check over there in the media that actually those pieces are there or not?
Or you can issue list backup and then issue crosscheck backup.This would verify that the backups coming up in the listing are actually available over the physical hard disk or not?

Restoration of 10gR2 RMAN backupset onto 11gR1 database

I am trying to restore my RMAN backupset from 10gR2 RAC database onto 11gR1 RAC database, both on HP Itanium v11.31. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before?

Am I supposed to run any utlrp.sql script or something?

RMAN backupsets to disk - how to parallelize?

Is there any way to utilize Oracle RMAN backup parallel features via BR*Tools when performing backup to disk?
Platform: Windows if it is relevant, Oracle 10.2.0.4.
The only way I found so far is to use exec_parallel parameter in BRTools profile and in this case parallelizing done via starting n processes of RMAN in parallel when each makes backup of separate datafile. The aim is to do something with BRTools parameters to get parallel option 'inside' RMAN (equivalent of "RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE disk PARALLELISM n;").
The other part - how to parallelize offline redo log backups for RMAN backupsets? Even having exec_parallel parameter set to >1 only one process of BRARCHIVE is processing all offline redo logs serially.
BR*Tools parameters which I changed from baseline:
backup_mode = full
backup_type = online
backup_dev_type = disk
archive_function = save_delete
disk_copy_cmd = rman_set
rman_compress = yes
rman_cross_check = arch_force
exec_parallel = 4

Hi Vladimir,
>> Well, BRARCHIVE does support rman backupsets; not directly through command line parameters but via parameter file.
You need to use external backup library in order to use backupset by BRARCHIVE with the parameter "rman_filesperset" in init<DBSID>.sap. Please check the link;
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/de/82/29e03a00281877e10000000a11402f/content.htm
>> Is there a way to create disk RMAN backup via External Backup Library?
Are you asking this for BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE? First of all, you can the note "1101530 - Support for RMAN savesets for backups on hard disk"
And the the links, below;
Profile Parameters and BRBACKUP Command Options->
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/9d800e1aec11d2b42c00609419997a/content.htm
parallel channels used by RMAN with an external backup library-> http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/57/29e03a00281877e10000000a11402f/content.htm
You can take the detailed information by contacting local vendors.

RMAN / channels and device types

Hello,
I have a question.
In the RMAN documentation (for instance in "Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide 10g Release 2") one can find the description / instructions how
to allocate RMAN channels and define the device types.
There are 2x described device types - DISK and SBT (Tape).
My question is:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE A PIPE AS A RMAN DEVICE TYPE ?
If it is not possible to define direct, perhaps there is a possibility to define it
indirect and to use a pipe to write data.
Regards.
Neitour

Thank you for the link. Is it this RMAN 'duplicate database' option, what you
would like to recommend me to use?
I think, it is not exactly what I really need. For 'duplicate database' I will need
to have as a source a backup of the database and not a running productive
database.
Is it correct?
If it is, it is not what I'd like to do.
I'd like to make a copy of a productive running database, which is placed on ASM
storage, to another server creating such a way a database also placed on ASM
storage. I'd like to do it directly. I think the best possible way can be
RMAN / BACKUP --> PIPE --> RMAN / RESTORE.
The issue is - how can I configure RMAN to write BACKUP into a PIPE and
to read data for RESTORE from a PIPE.
Any ideas?
Regards
Neitour

Rman Full and Archivelog backups

I am scripting my rman stuff and it's part of a much larger Perl maintenance. I have nightly and hourly jobs. Nightly will do a full backup and hourly will do archivelog backup. Full backups take about 2-3 hours.
My question is: is there a problem with running archivelog backups be running while I am doing a full backup. If system resources are not an issues, what are some arguments for or against it?

Thanks Tychos.
That is something that I've debated - if my full would be with Plus ArchiveLog or not. So, I've decided not to backup the log during a full backup.
This is for my nightly:
open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
print RMAN <<"END";
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$HBDir/$HBFiles\';
set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
backup as compressed backupset database;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
report need backup;}
END
close (RMAN);
This is the hourly:
open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
print RMAN <<"END";
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$TempArchHBDir/$BUFile\';
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input;
END
close (RMAN);

HP AiO Remote app will not recognize scan and copy function of HP Envy 120

Good morning! HP AiO Remote App is installed on my iPad4 and in the same WiFi network with my HP Envy 120 printer. The printer is recognized by the app and marked with a green led. When I tap on scan or copy in the app menu, it tells me that these functions were available in the app only for printers which provide these features. But HP Envy 120 has both scanner and copier. And last time it worked. Some idea what could have happened here? Thanks. UJ

Hi UJKarl, welcome to the HP Forums. You should be able to scan from the HP AIO Remote App on your Envy 120 printer. You probably just need to power cycle the printer, iPad and router to regain proper function.
Turn off your printer with the power button. Power down the iPad by holding the sleep button down until you get the option to 'slide to power off'. Then disconnect the power cord to your router and count to about 10, and then plug it back in. Once the router comes back online, turn the printer on. When the printer comes back online (blue wi-fi light stops blinking), then power the iPad back up. Try again, and it should work.
Let me know how it turns out.
