Hello Sachin K;
In my notes step 1 is : ( You seem to have a password issue )
Create an Oracle Password File for the Auxiliary Database
Password on source is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/orapwRECOVER2
SCP to remote host
scp /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbs/orapwRECOVER2 [email protected]:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbs/
Then rename the file to :
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbs/orapwRECLONEThen I Create the Directory Structure on the remote server and so on.
When duplicating from an active database you need an entry for the CLONE in your TNSNAMES.ORA on both servers
Prevent Timeouts
Add these to both servers
To listener.ora
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ = 120
To sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 120
You need an Initialization Parameter File for the Auxiliary Instance with these parameters
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
and then start NOMOUNT before you try to connect with RMAN
Then stop and start the listener.
Best Regards

Active duplication question

I tried to use active duplication recently and ran into an issue. When I ran the job from the auxiliary database server it failed. When I ran it from the target(source) database server, it ran fine. Seems odd and am wondering why.
Here is the log I got when running on the auxiliary database server:
channel c1: starting datafile copy
copying current control file
released channel: c1
released channel: c2
released channel: c3
released channel: c4
released channel: x5
released channel: x6

Recovery Manager complete.
So the job connected to both databases, created the script, created the control files on the auxiliary server an stopped and restarted that but failed when it got into the copy file section of the script.
Again, running the exact same thing from the target( source) server ran without issue.
FYI...here is the duplicaiton which was run from both servers
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<EOF>> dev1-2011-03-23_1.out

connect target sys/samepass@prod

allocate auxiliary channel x7 device type DISK;
allocate auxiliary channel x8 device type DISK;

exit

Hi Werner,
Sorry for my badly phrased question.
True initially it works from both sides.
But halfway it stops working if ran from the aux server.
The question should have been:
Does sqlplus than still works ? (so just after the rman failure)
Maybe the OP can align both tnsnames.ora files and spot a difference?
If the listener(s) or the instance(s) is/are the problem it wouldn't work from both sides.

Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
Thanks & Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
"Data replication"
This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases. Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle. The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
"Data Cloning"
Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing. Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another. Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
"Data duplication"
This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
"Data Migration"
Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle. You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

RMAN Active duplication using SPFILE

Environment:
O.S Version     HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
Oracle DB Version     11.2.0.3.0
     Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
Database files are on ASM Diskgroups
duplicate target database
to TestDB
from active database pfile=/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/initSoruceDB.ora;Question:
Can I use spfile clause on the command above? If I use spfile, will the command above copy the spfile from the target database instance as part of DUPLICATE command?
Will the DUPLICATE command with SPFILE clause behave differently in case of different sturcture of ASM Diskgroups used at the source and target databases?

Can I use spfile clause on the command above? If I use spfile, will the command above copy the spfile from the target database instance as part of DUPLICATE command? Yes you can use SPFILE.RMAN automatically copies the server parameter file to the destination host.
Will the DUPLICATE command with SPFILE clause behave differently in case of different sturcture of ASM Diskgroups used at the source and target databases? RMAN automatically copies the server parameter file to the destination host and updates the server parameter file on the destination host based on values provided in PARAMETER_VALUE_CONVERT and SET. For example:
Duplicating to a Host with a Different Directory Structure (Active)
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
TO dupdb
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '/oracle/oradata/prod/','/scratch/oracle/oradata/dupdb/'
SPFILE
PARAMETER_VALUE_CONVERT '/oracle/oradata/prod/',
'/scratch/oracle/oradata/dupdb/'
SET SGA_MAX_SIZE '300M'
SET SGA_TARGET '250M'
SET LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '/oracle/oradata/prod/redo/',
'/scratch/oracle/oradata/dupdb/redo/';

Tuning RMAN - duplicate active database with size 1.7TB

Dear Oracle experts!
We are going to have a project where we will migrate an ERP standalone database to RAC cluster database.
The source standalone db version is 11gR3 with the latest PSU patch.
The target database would be on the same version on a RAC cluster with ASM.
Of course we want to use RMAN for duplication. The source box and the target cluster nodes are different physical servers.
Being given that the database is around 1.7TB, I would like to ask you some kind of best practices what rman options we can leverage having less time for the actual data migration. In the past I did several RAC migration with 4 allocated channels. Here is a sample for the RMAN script:
run
allocate channel dev1 device type disk;
allocate channel dev2 device type disk;
allocate channel dev3 device type disk;
allocate channel dev4 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dev5 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dev6 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dev7 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dev8 device type disk;
duplicate target database to NEW_RAC
from active database
password file
spfile
set control_files='+FRA_DG/NEW_RAC/controlfile/control01.ctl','+DATA_DG/NEW_RAC/controlfile/control02.ctl'
set db_create_file_dest='+DATA_DG'
set db_create_online_log_dest_1='+FRA_DG'
set db_recovery_file_dest='+FRA_DG'
set db_recovery_file_dest_size='1G';
Of course there are many pre and post steps like configuring tnsnames for rman then creating undo tablespaces, rac services etc. I would like to ask you to focus on the main data migration part and let me know your suggestions.
Thank you in advance,
Laszlo

We are going to have a project where we will migrate an ERP standalone database to RAC cluster database.This is what we do in similar situations :
1. Full RMAN backup of the source database, and subsequent archivelogs backup every 2 hours
2. Restore the full backup on the new server, changing file names (if necessary, as in your case)
3. Apply all archivelogs generated in the meantime
4. Archive the last log and stop the source database and Application Servers
5. Apply the last log on the new server, and start the database
6. Change what needed on Application Servers and start applications.
The above requires a few minutes downtime. I use the same procedure for database upgrades, and in this case the downtime is, more or less, half an hour.

RMAN in active data guard with real time apply ON without a catalog DB

I would like to know whether I can take RMAN backups (both level 0 & incremental) in active data guard with real time apply ON without a catalog database. version is 11.2.0.3.2. Will it make difference in the control file of standby syncing with primary? Can I use these backups on primary to restore and recover the database(including control file backup)?

Thank you very much msberg. Could you please answer the below queries as well?
Should I cancel Real Time Apply before starting RMAN?
Will it make difference in the control file of standby syncing with primary? Is it possible to use these backups on primary to restore and recover the database(including control file backup)? If possible, how will I do that?

RMAN for active passive 10g R2 RAC

Hi,
I am having 10g R2 Active-Passive RAC setup.
in this environment,If I am taking the backup using RMAN,
how can I handle the failover?
In active-active instance, if channel allocated to one node is failed, backup will be completed from channel allocated to other node.
how can i handle the failover in active-passive RMAN backup??/

What was the reason you went for active/passive RAC setup ?
--> this is requirement.
I thought cluster could achieve the same thing.
1) How can we achive active/passive setup by using cluster?
2) In RAC active/passive configuration and Cluster setup, which one is good option?
3) Any URLs on this topic
Thanks in Advance....

My approach was to clone DB and then change SID with nid utility. My understanding was that nid utility will also replace ASM file paths from CRAMPRD to CRAMSIT but that didnt happen.
So issue is when I am checking my file paths on CRAMSIT it still refelect CRAMPRD eg - +DATA1/CRAMPRD. Is there any way to rename this directory paths in ASM so that it should reflect my SID.

No, NID wouldn't change the ASM paths.
I presume that you did set the ORACLE_SID to CRAMSIT on the non-RAC server before the restore.
What you should have done is to set DB_UNIQUE_NAME='CRAMSIT' (even with DB_NAME='CRAMPRD') on the non-RAC server before the restore. Oracle would have used the DB_UNIQUE_NAME to set the ASM PAth (note that during the restore it would have shown "restoring to +DATA1/CRAMPRD" but would have actually been restoring to "+DATA1/CRAMSIT").
You will now have to use Oracle Support Note
How to rename/move a datafile in the same ASM diskgroup [ID 564993.1]
to rename the paths in ASM.

Rman cloning rac+asm_cold backup

Hi
i have a RAC db v11.2 ,which uses asm and backed up using rman (cold backup, back'd up to asm diskgroup).
is there any document on how to clone this db on the same cluster or remote cluster?
if I clone on the same cluster then I guess I need to give it a new name too...
can cloning change db characterset as well?
