RMAN cloning

Hi All,
I need to create a database clone using RMAN but the name of the clone database has to be different from that of the Source database.
Can I use the same controlfile as the one that was backedup by the RMAN during
backup database plus archivelog;I guess no, since this controlfile will have the same db name as that of the source database?
Do I have to recreate the controlfile by changing the database name?

SphinxWhat is the version you are using?
If you prefer RMAN DUPLICATE then you can give different name other than source. If you prefer only RMAN RESTORE then you can change database name either by "DBNEWID" or recreate control file after the restore.

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

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?

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.

Post Cloning Scripts ?

Hi All,
I am new to the cloning process (non-RMAN cloning) and wanted to go through the "nuts-and-bolts" path to learn about cloning. My question is this: Once we have copied all the files and created the new control file and set the new DB name, do we need to run the catproc.sql/pupbld.sql scripts? My logic says that as it is a "copy", these privileges & procedures for PL/SQL support must already exist and there is no need to run the scripts - just wanted to check with the experts.
Thanks y'all!
Cheers!

just wanted to check with the experts.You are correct

RMAN Duplicate basics

Hello,
1)I would like to know whether the name of the undo tablespace should be the same in both target and auxiliary database during RMAN duplication? DB-10.2.0.3
2)Is it mandatory to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n Parameter in parameter file for RMAN cloning(both backup-based & active database) on auxiliary server?
Thanks in advance

1)Yes, You need to keep same UNDO tablespace name. After cloning is done you can use
alter tablespace rename comamnd and change in pfile/spfile accordingly
2)Are you doing to same host or remote host?
Minimum required parameters, db_name,control_files.
use db_file_name_convert,log_file_name_convert if there is change in directory structure

In Regarding to Rman

Hi,
There is client requirement to confiquire rman on all development environments.
The prodcution and preproduction environment Rman confiquired by third party vendor and the team who are supporting production and preproduction are reluctant to share the setup document.
I have being supporting only the development environments.I am new to rman setup.
Now the requirement from third party,To perform cloning from prodcution to test environment, rman should be confiquired on all development environments. Can you please shed some light on how to enable/confiquire this on development environment.
With Regards,
Srini

Cloning basics

Hello,
I am new to Oracle database and hoping that some one will please clarify my doubts.
1) Are cloning a database & copying a database the same thing?
2) Is static entry in the listener.ora file required for the auxiliary database for RMAN Cloning?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to OTN
1) Are cloning a database & copying a database the same thing? Cloning database is way to copy database and create similar Of Production Database for Dev test.

Proactive details for cloning

Hi,
Db : 9i / 10.1 and above
Recently i am asked to do a rman cloning in 10g.It is done.but i have some questions regarding cloning.pls clarify it.
Actually they gave a backup sets which contains 10 backup pieces and 30 archive logs in a directory.Archive log sequence number started with 96 to 125.
I created pfile,pwd file and start instance nomount ,restore the control file & catalog data file from backup sets, recreated redolog files.
While recovery,oracle asks log sequence number 90 for recover operations.But i didn't have on that time.
So we moved archive log 90 to 95 from tape to cloning machine and applied it.
1,My question is Is it possible to check which log sequence numbers needed for recovery before restoring the data files in a proactive method?
2,Can i decrease log group size( ie Production machine has 4 log groups and 2 members each,but i like to set 3 group in clone machine) while cloning.
3,They won't gave db name and dbid.Can i get these information from backupsets without asking other dbas.Is it possible?
4,why i need to set nls_date_format in rman propmt before backup and restoration ?
Thanks & Regards,
VN

My question is Is it possible to check which log sequence numbers needed for recovery before restoring the data files in a proactive method? it's better that let's RMAN to prompt that which log sequence is required . As far knowledge, i don't have any views for check the log sequence no.
Can i decrease log group size( ie Production machine has 4 log groups and 2 members each,but i like to set 3 group in clone machine) while cloning. No.. since controlfile contains the information of all redolog file and it's group and you have restore the controlfile which is having the same info as that of primary . So drop the logfile and member after clonning.
They won't gave db name and dbid.Can i get these information from backupsets without asking other dbas.Is it possible? Yes you can ..you can get the dbid from backup sets. and once you have restore spfile you can query as show parameter db_name and you mount database the database then you can query from v$database views.
why i need to set nls_date_format in rman propmt before backup and restoration ?nls_date_format is required to set the format used for the time parameters in RMAN commands such as RESTORE, RECOVER, and REPORT.

Hope this help you
