RMAN copy datafiles from filesystem to ASM

DB version: 10.2.0.4
I need to copy 650G of datafiles from filesystems to ASM. Could someone let me know how to use RMAN parallelism for this?.
I'm using the command as below.
backup as copy datafile '/tmp/datafile1.dbf' format '+DATA';
backup as copy datafile '/tmp/datafile2.dbf' format '+DATA';

I also tried the below. But, it's also running long. Each 32G datafile is taking almost 3 hours to copy into ASM.
run {
   allocate channel ch1 type disk;
   allocate channel ch2 type disk;
   allocate channel ch3 type disk;
   allocate channel ch4 type disk;
   allocate channel ch5 type disk;
   allocate channel ch6 type disk;
   allocate channel ch7 type disk;
   allocate channel ch8 type disk;
copy
datafile ' 1.dbf'to '+DATA',
datafile ' 2.dbf'to '+DATA',
datafile ' 3.dbf'to '+DATA',
datafile ' 4.dbf'to '+DATA',
datafile ' 5.dbf'to '+DATA',
....}

RMAN copy datafile replicated to standby?

10.2.0.3 - standby is physical
I want to rman move datafile from ASM/DATA0 to ASM/DATA1.
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT is AUTO
So something like this
#rman> copy '/DATA0/file.dbf' to '/DATA1/new_file.dbf';
switch to copy new_file.dbf';
Where, why, what , when , how in the standby server.
1) Will the 'file copy' and 'switch to' be replicated to the standby site automatically??
2) Will I have to replicate the commands of 'file copy' and 'switch to' the standby.
The tablespace/datafile must be offlined which is fine but the database cannot be down.

First conferm me?
1. Your Physical Standby on Normal File System or ASM for ASM Primary?
U have to use parameter on standby side:
db_file_name_convert parameter ='+ASM/DATA0','+ASM/DATA1

Datapump TTS from filesystem to ASM migration

Hi Experts,
I have to move the 1.5 TB of data which is on filesystem running on Solaris SPARC (single instance) to Linux x86 RAC (10.2.0.4) with ASM. I am considering the Transportable tablespaces option using datapump. But I have done the filesystem to filesystem datapump for TTS. Is there any way that I can use datapump TTS for filesystem to ASM directly ? Any suggestion and comments please.
Thanks
Shashi

I'm not sure what your question is. Data Pump works with ASM and supports transportable. You would have to copy your data files from your file system to your asm file system, then do the export on your source, copy the dumpfile to your asm target and then run data pump. If you have more specific questions, please list them.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Using RMAN "copy datafile" to restore db on a different host

Hi,
DB 8.1.7 (Standard Edition) on Windows Server 2000 SP4.
Database is in Archivelog mode. RMAN uses a catalog database.
The client does not want to spend money to upgrade the application (which only supports 8i - old app), therefore we have to relocate the database onto a new hardware (the machine is also old):
Here is how I backup the database every night (I also make an OS copy of archivelogs on an hourly basis):
echo run {
echo allocate channel d1 type disk;
echo backup
echo tag db_full
echo format '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\df_u%%u_s%%s_p%%p_t%%t'
echo database;
echo copy current controlfile to '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\DB_CONTROL01.ctl';
echo sql 'alter system archive log current';
echo backup
echo format '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\al_u%%u_s%%s_p%%p_t%%t'
echo archivelog all
echo delete input;
echo release channel d1;
echo resync catalog;
echo }
) | d:\orahome\bin\rman.exe target sys/***@db_ded rcvcat rman/rman@rpdb > D:\oracle_backup_db\rman_db_backup.logNow on a new 2003 server with database installed and rman catalog created, I am trying to restore my backups from the productions.
After reading some online documents forums, I noticed that if I do not have image copies of datafiles, controlfile, and archivelogs I CANNOT catalog them on this new database.
So, I want to create image copies when the database is in normal open state. What will I need to do get the new server to the same state as the production server? I know I will have to do media recovery, therefore copy and catalog the archivelogs created after the image copy was created.
What are the steps to do this?
If I create an image copy of a datafile on the production database and move that file to another location (to the new server with OS commands), will that affect a possible restore I might have to perform on the production database? I have space concerns on the production db so I do not want to keep them there and want to delete them after I test restoring them to the new server.
Is this the best method to move this database to a host with the same name same folder structure?
Thanks in advance,
Sinan

Hello;
I'm not a windows guy but you could move the database cold using scp.
Putty has PSCP here :
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
You can create the scp batch file using SQL
set heading off
set feedback off
set pagesize 100
set linesize 400
select 'scp '||a.name ||' server_name:' || a.name as newname from v$datafile a;
select 'scp '||a.name ||' server_name:' || a.name as newname from v$controlfile a;
select 'scp '||a.member ||' server_name:' || a.member as newname from v$logfile a;So shutdown the database and move the files. Restart do your RMAN backup and your done.
The only issue I can is 2003 server probably does not have an SCP service like Unix.
Here's a couple links to address that :

XTTS - problem in copying datafile into ASM

I'm testing the migration of database from AIX to Linux using cross platform transportable tablespaces.

Destination: 10.2.0.5
OS version: source: AIX6.1 - AIX-Based Systems (64-bit)

Poor performance after moving from hp to linux, oracle 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3, filesystems to ASM

We moved a database from HP/UX to linux, upgraded oracle from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3, and from filesystems to ASM. The new server has 32 cores and 500gb of memory. the old server has less than half of that. Queries take twice as long to run on the new server as on the old server. We've tested to eliminate I/O as the issue by creating a local filesystem and creating the database there. The performance was still double over the old database. We also moved the database to a 3rd server, using ASM and 11.2.0.3 of oracle for testing to prove to the systems administrator that it wasn't a database problem. The performance on the 3rd server is incredibly fast. This points to something on the new server. Does anyone have any ideas of what to look at next, keeping in mind that we've tested the heck out of I/O.
Thanks for any assistance.

Well, a few details about your configuration could help:
What does /proc/meminfo on the server show?
How is the storage connected?
What does: "# /sbin/ifconfig -a" show?
Are you using ASMLIB or straight ASM?
Are you using multipath connections to storage? If so, make sure that "/etc/multipath.conf" actually identifies the composite device and not one of the physical paths.
Are there any entries in "/var/log/messages" while running the ASM testing?
I'm sure these questions will stimulate others.

How to copy DB files from UNIX filesystem to ASM in RMAN?

Hi,
I have a cold backup copied from a RAC ASM by using RMAN to UNIX filesystem. I made it like this:
RMAN> run
copy datafile 1 to '/backup/PDAMLPF2/offline/system.306.715096785';
copy datafile 2 to '/backup/PDAMLPF2/offline/undotbs1.260.715096755';
Now, I need to restore (or copy) this cold backup into another RAC ASM system to create a DB. How can I do the copy back?
Thanks for advise!

If you are using 11.1 or above you can use asmcmd cp command otherwise use dbms_file_transfer package. But keep in mind that since you are not using RMAN in any of those stages you will need to modify controlfile anyhow.

I'm gathering details how to migrate datafiles from Veritas Filesystem(SFRAC) to ASM. Please feed in your suggestions. The show stopper is DB SIZE which is 56 TB and addition of 1 TB each month.
ENV Details
OS : Solsris 10
RDBMS : 9.2.0.8 (to be upgraded to 11.2.0)
STORAGE : Propsed to use ASM, but need datafiles migration strategy.

Hi,
First of all you need to upgrade the database to 11.2
After ...
It is often used the strategy RMAN Online Backup with Image Copies to migrate to ASM
Check this out... This a litte example
You can move pieces (i.e Tablespaces, Controlfile, etc..) database as you want.

RMAN restore from active database, ASM

I'm attempting to refresh a stage database from a prod database using RMAN restore from active database. Both are on ASM. After working through various hurdles, I've got one issue I'm a bit stuck on. I've got a handful of data files that do NOT have OMF names (ie MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx instead of MSTRDATA/mstrmdpd/datafile/gsa_indx.351.714779777) and these are failing when I do the restore. The syntax I'm using in RMAN is as follows:
duplicate target database to dwstage
from active database
spfile parameter_value_convert 'dwprod','dwstage'
SET DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE'
SET LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '+DWPROD','+DWSTAGE';
The error message I'm getting is this:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 04/21/2011 13:26:24
ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server
continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run
Normally from what I've seen/read this error can be traced back to needing to pre-create the directories for the controlfiles etc, but since 90% of the datafiles copied correctly...
Any suggestions as to a way around this, or am I going to be forced to restore from a backupset?

This fails saying that "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections" which is quite normal given that the listener is havig a handle in BLOCKED state for this AUXDB as it is in NOMOUNT state.
Could you please help me on how to proceed?
One option can be to create the controlfile manually and mount the instance before doing the duplicate. I hope Rman can continue from there.
Another option is to go for backup based duplicate.
Is there any other way to go?
Provide static registration on AUXILIARY side for your auxiliary instance and try again.For example change listener.ora file as
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = AUXDB)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <auxiliary host/ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)And restart listener on auxiliary host then try again

The all files movement of asm to non-asm and vice-versa is given in document id 252219.1 on metalink. Please look at the same. In nut shell you have to do the following:
1. Start your database with ASM.
2. Create pfile from spfile.
3. Edit pfile to reflect controlfile name in file system location.
4. SQL> Startup nomount.
5. Use RMAN to copy the control file from ASM to NON-ASM.
RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '<filename_of_old_control_file>';
6. SQL> alter database mount;
7. Use RMAN to copy the database from ASM to NON-ASM.
RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE format '/u01/oradata/nonasmdb/datafile/%U';
8. From RMAN
RMAN> SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY;
