Rman cloning on RAC

Hello all,
My environment
OS: LINUX
ORACLE: 10.2.0.2
my question are
1) configured crs_home,oracle_home with asm now i have to clone from proda to prodb.
all configurations are working fine.
backup pieces are copied to prodb.
if i have backupsets in prodb location. is it possible to clone?
or backups should be in proda? then we have to duplicate?
can anyone tell me please.

If you not using RECOVERY CATALOG , you have to copy the backup sets or copies to the clone database server.
RMAN checks for the backup to restore. if it is not available in the machine, it gives an error.

RMAN cloning from RAC to Non-RAC

Hi Gurus,
I had successfully cloned my DB from RAC to Non-RAC environment via RMAN. Below was the configuration
RAC
- 2 nodes
- 11gR2 (Compatible 11.0.1.6 as per Application Requirement)
- ASM (2 diskgroups DATA and FRA)
- OS RHEL 6.3
Non - RAC
- 1 node
- Stand alone11gR2 (Compatible 11.0.1.6 as per Application Requirement)
- ASM (2 diskgroups DATA and FRA)
- OS RHEL 6.3
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.
Regards,
Nikhil Mehta.

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.

Please help with RMAN dup for RAC db

Happy Holidays!! All,
I need help with the following issue:
Both target and auxiliary databases are:
Database version is 10.2.0.3 with 2-node RAC db
Servers are MS 2003
Oracle Clusterware 10.2.0.3
Oracle ASM for storage
I have run the rman dup from RAC to a single instance db for a while. This is the first time I ran from RAC to RAC. This auxiliary db was refreshed before and was up for a while and was managed by server control tool. Now I am trying to refresh it with new backup files from production. I did the following as people suggested:
1)     shutdown instance in the second node.
2)     Startup nomount mode in the first node
3)     Run RMAN dup
It failed in the same place with slightly different errors. I pasted error messages at the bottom. I already created a TAR with Oracle but would like to know if anybody has any info related to this. Also I have several questions to ask:
1)     Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
2)     Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
3)     Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
4)     How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
Thanks a lot for your help and have a great holiday season!!!

1) Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
No, you just need to stop the second instance.
2) Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
No, you don't need to stop anything. Just have the instance startup nomount.
3) Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
You have not shown enough information. Did the restore succeed ? Did the recover succeed ? What was it doing when it failed ?
4) How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
Yes, srvctl remove database is all you need. (unless you also want to remove from listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, oratab etc)

RMAN backup on RAC

Hi,
DB=10.2.0.4 OS=RHL (RAC with 2 nodes db01,db02). Following are the types of automated RMAN backups taken on db01.
- OCR
- Voting Disk
- Talespaces Snapshot
- Archivelog (every hour)
- Backup Incremental level 0 (SUNDAY)
-- backup incrementa level 1 (Mon-SAT)
- Autobackup of Control file and SPFILE (CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON)
Two main questions please. First, are these backups/backup types are enough FOR FULL RESTORE when talking about RMAN backup on RAC environment with 2 nodes? If not please suggest what else I need to backup?
Secondly, backup home location is /rman which I can see on db01 ONLY. This /rman directory I cannot see on db02. My question is that In case of db02 failure can I restore from this /rman directory? or do I need to automate backup schedules also on db02 separately?

Hi,
THanks alot for your feedback. Makes my life easier :) . But actually I started studying this all subject because of the following error message in the log file. I found out about this error that doesn't seem to harm. Just wait for the job to finish or it will sort out automatically. Here are the lines from the log file.

"You need to move the snapshot control file to a shared location if you plan to run backups from more than one node. If you do not move the snapshot control file to a shared file system such as OCFS or an ASM disk group, then you must make sure that the local destination is identical on all nodes."
My question is of course, how to sort out the above log file error. Becuse in our case, backups are run only from one node, and snaphost control file is not being moved to ASM disk groups. Local destination is also same on both the Nodes, isn't it (with different names). Why on Node 2 last snapshot was taken on 10th jan while on Node 1 it is todays date which seems fine.
Control file and SPFILE which I noticed are stored on ASM disk groups also, so being shared between the two Nodes.

It hangs at the below point
contents of Memory Script:

How to RMAN backup in RAC with OCFS

hi,
Iam using RAC 10.2.0 in windows 2003 server with OCFS .. i want to take backup using RMAN utility. can any sugest me how take RMAN backup..
Thanks
harish

The only real consideration in RMAN on RAC is a one-off configuration issue as to whether the snapshot controlfile is written to the shared disk or not (it needs to be on the shared disk, or on a location that is common to all nodes, otherwise a backup that includes the control file will fail at the point a node tries to write it to a destination directory that only made sense to another node).
Otherwise, there's not a lot that's different about an RMAN backup in RAC versus non-RAC.
Simple answer, as a result: open a DOS window, type rman target /, then type backup database;

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?

RMAN duplicate from RAC with ASM to RAC with ASM

I'm still reading and trying to figure out how to duplicate...and I'm finding that there are some extra considerations you have to work with with doing a RAC system.
Does anyone have any good links to articles/docs that spell out what to do in this scenario?
I'm wanting to duplicate from tape backups, using NO connectivity to the source/target....
My tape backups do include the spfile and control files (autobackup) from the source.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Possibly you are confusing a database with a database.
A RAC database is a just a database. What is different is the instances, the clusterware, and the storage: For example ASM.
A backup is a backup is a backup.
Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do, on what hardware, operating system, version, and edition.
RMAN can not create an instance either RAC or stand-alone.Thank you for the reply.
I have my source system, OS = RHEL5, running Oracle 11Gr2...5 node RAC cluster.
I'm doing RMAN backups to tape...hourly arch. logs, Daily incremental lvl=1 backups and weekly incremental lvl=0
None of the tape backups have ever been tested for restoring...and I've never restored a database myself before, total noob here.
I have a test area I've set up. I have a 2 node RAC cluster, running 11Gr2 and OS=RHEL5.
The tape is accessible from both systems.
I am wanting to test the tape backups...and thought the RMAN DUPLICATE process would be the way to go.
I am wanting to NOT connect to the source database...trying to simulate somewhat of a disaster recovery scenario. I'm only wanting to use tape backup, and the test area for the auxiliary instance.
So far what I've seen I need to learn to do is something like:
1. Create a password file for new aux database to be duplicated to
2. Establish Net connectivity...
3. Create initial parameter file for aux instance
Due to a bug in note:334899.1, add this (because of RAC system)
norecovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
4. Start aux instance NOMOUNT
Everything I'm reading though...is basically doing this from single instance to single instance...and what little info I've seen on doing it from RAC, indicates there are some differences. The "_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE" is one thing I found...but wondering what else.
Also, so many of the examples I'm finding...are doing the duplication connecting to the target/source...and also doing backups to disk rather than tape...
Right now, I'm at #1...trying to figure what to put into an init pfile...I'm seeing DB_name, which will be the same as the one I'm cloning from.
I'm not sure what else....
I'm wondering if this is necessary..since on the tape backups from the source...I backup the SPFILE...can that not be used somehow in this?
I'm seeing for the init file, examples show that I need to put in entries for control files and redo logs....if the source system was down and gone...how would I know where these were on the old system? This isn't documented anywhere....is there a way to do this if you didn't know.
If not..guess I need to go through all systems and document the layouts of where everything is located.
Also...most examples I'm finding, in addition to being single instance backup and restore/duplication...they are all using regular file systems....not much to go on with using ASM.
Anyway, I'm trying to learn here...and am having trouble finding examples to go from that match my setup.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Another RMAN duplicate problem - RAC database to single instance

Hi,
I have a problem with the RMAN duplicate procedure and was hoping someone can help.
I would like to create a duplicate of our production RAC database on a separate, stand-alone, database server on another site. This duplicate will be used for intensive querying by another business unit who I don't want to have access to our production database.
My procedure goes like this:
1. Create a disk (not ASM) based backup of the datafiles and any archived redo logs:
"run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel d1;
2. Tar and scp these files to the same location on the stand-alone database server.
3. In the meantime, work has been happening on the production database and further archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these logs for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to duplicate to the point of the recent backup. To do this, I run the following SQL to determine the sequence number that I should be duplicating up to:
"select max(sequence#), thread# from v$archived_log where deleted='YES' group by thread#;"
4. Duplicate the production database to the stand-alone database (all the SQL Net stuff is working).
"run {
set until sequence (value returned by above SQL statement);
duplicate target database to XXX;
However, my problem arises because I don't know how to handle the fact that there are two threads. I understand that each thread relates to one of the RAC instances, I just don't know which one to specify for the duplicate. We have a database service which the client application connects through, and that service runs on on or other of the instances. Should I just care about the logs from the instance where the service is currently running?
Am I even approaching this is the correct way?
I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Werner,
Thanks again for your help, there is still something wrong though. "list backup of archivelog all;" shows:

RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 9751 lowscn 569261110 found to restore
you can see that something is setting the recovery SCN to 569505448 which higher even then any of the archived logs mentioned above. If I select current_scn from the production database, this gives me 569528258 which is closer to the value which RMAN is expecting to recover to than any of the archived redo logs.
Can you think what might be causing RMAN to try to recover to this value? and why does it appear to be ignoring the SET UNTIL SEQUENCE command?
Cheers,
Phil

RMAN Backup in RAC

Dear DBAs,
Is there a V$VIEW that maintains information about the node that was used for taking RMAN backup.
I have a 3 node RAC database, and would like to know which node db backup was run from? These are OEM scheduled backup jobs.
Thanks

Hi;
1. There is seeded RMAN forum site:

RMAN backup in RAC failing with error ORA-19566

Hi all, i have 2 node RAC and i am trying to take rman backup of the database which is in ASM filesystem.
There is a corruption in SYSAUX file and rman is failing to take backup of the sysaux datafile and error thrown at the end like

*ORA-19566: exceeded limit of 0 corrupt blocks for file +DATA/bloom/datafile/sysaux.257.775475317*
Then i tried to validate the backup in rman of the datafile sysaux nad fired the following query

and found all the blocks in the table WRH$_SQL_PLAN.
Then dropped the table, and tried to take backup of the database and it is failing again with the same error..
ANY SOLUTION TO TAKE BACKUP OF THE DATABASE.
anyhow we can SET MAXCORRUPT FOR DATAFILE 3 to value, but does this works all time...
Thanks in advance,
TEJAS

Both are good suggestions, but

Open an SR.
