RMAN incompatability

Hi
I am getting the error
RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
my rman database is 10g and target database is 9i.
Any idea how to resolve the problem without upgrade of the targer db to 10g

Hi
I am getting the error
AN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this
version of RMAN
y rman database is 10g and target database is 9i.
Any idea how to resolve the problem without upgrade
of the targer db to 10gWhat are you trying to achieve? If a backup of the 9i database that gets recorded in the 10g catalog then simply run rman from the 9i server (or a 9i client). If an upgrade or something else then a different approach might be warranted.

  • RMAN incompatibility issue

    Hi All,
    Working on DB v10.2.0.3.0 and 10.1.0.5 .0
    OS:AIX 64 bits
    We used to get the output when connecting from 10.2.0.3.0 to RMAN 10.2.0.3.0 as below:
    SQL> select distinct object_type from rc_rman_status;
    OBJECT_TYPE
    ARCHIVELOG
    DB FULL
    But the same query doesn't work when connecting from 10.1.0.5 .0 to RMAN v10.2.0.3.0:
    SQL> select distinct object_type from rc_rman_status;
    OBJECT_TYPE
    The above output is blank.
    Also on doing some research,OBJECT_TYPE column doesn't exist in rc_rman_status for 10.1.0.5.0.
    Oracle® Database Recovery Manager Reference
    10g Release 1 (10.1)
    Part Number B10770-02
    RC_RMAN_STATUS
    URL: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10770/rcviews28.htm#RCMRF381
    So is there any other table or view apart from rc_rman_status where from we can extract this information - DB Full or Archivelog since Object_type column is not present in rc_rman_status in v10.1.0.5.
    Thanks for your time!
    Regards,

    Please configure RMAN settings and try to run full backup again.

  • Centralized RMAN Catalog Database

    Hello,
    I have two 10g R2 databases on two separate servers.
    I am trying to centralize my RMAN backup by creating a RMAN_DATABASE in 11G.
    - I create RMAN_DATABASE
    - I created RMAN user and tablespaces
    - I edited my TNSNAMES.ORA so that I could connect to my two 10G R2 databases
    When I run the command:
    rman catalog=rman/password@rman_database target=sys/password@10g_db1I get the following error:
    Recovery Manager incompatible with TARGET database: RMAN 8.0.4.0 to 10.2.0.0 req
    uired
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
    RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
    When I google the error it indicates to change the binary files, but that doesn't work either, unless I don't understand what that entails.
    Any suggestions?

    By saying that you have amended your tnsnames.ora to connect to the 10gR2 databases, I assume you are running the rman command on your 11gR1 server. This means that your RMAN client version is 11gR1, and your target database is 10gR2. This is not permitted, see the [compatibility matrix|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/compat003.htm#i634479].
    I suggest you try this on each of your 10gR2 servers:
    1. Amend tnsnames.ora to include an entry for the 11gR1 rman_database
    2. Ensure your oracle environment variables are set correctly, especially ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID
    3. rman target=sys/password catalog=rman/password@rman_database
    This means you will be using the 10gR2 RMAN client on the 10gR2 target database which ensures no incompatibility problems. There is no issue with the fact your recovery catalog schema is at 11gR1, this is permitted to be greater than the RMAN client being used.

    Reply from nagulan is correct. Our turned out to be an error with TSM. The disk pool had filled up and it was writing this to tape before allowing the backup to continue. The backup didn't handle the "pause" event well and failed out. We only get this with V9 RMAN, not V10 or V11 RMAN backups. This has to be addressed by the backup vendor for V9 as the Oracle RMAN software doesn't seem to handle it well. Maybe configuring a really large timeout for responses MAY fix this, depending on what the code returned from the backup software vendor is and why RMAN isn't happy with it.
    In the end it is an issue between V9 RMAN and the backup software we run TSM. Maybe version incompatibility or maybe just V9 is not that robust.

  • How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

    i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
    i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
    i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
    to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):

    Hello;
    Script has to be run from auxiliary.
    Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
    Example
    Start RMAN
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@recover2 auxiliary=sys/@reclone
    Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Feb 22 14:50:31 2012

    connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
    connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
    Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
    Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
    DB_NAME
    CONTROL_FILES
    DB_BLOCK_SIZE
    ( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
    Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.

    Pl do not post duplicates - Issue in configuring Standby Database from Active database in 11g by RMAN

  • Logical export in RMAn

    Dear friends,
    Is it passible that we take logical backup(i.e Export/Impot)
    in Rman.
    If yes then.
    Why?
    [email protected]

    Pixels.
    For a 1" x 1" photo first crop the photo square.  Then export  with Kind = Current with JPEF Quality = Maximum and Size = Full size.
    Then when you go to print the photo select a 1" x 1" print size.  This will squeeze all available pixels in each dimension into the 1" dimension giving you the highest DPI resolution available from your image file. 
    More about DPI can be found here: All About Digital Photos - The Arithmetic of DPI and All About Digital Photos - The Myth of DPI

  • RMAN duplicate target using set until telling me it can not find data files

    I have RMAN scripts that I use freqently to clone a database from DB (production) to another (non-prod). These work just fine. I use the set until so that I can tell it at what point I want the new DB to be created from the backups of the source.
    I had a request to go back a few weeks and the backup files (I do compressed backups to disk) were on tape. I had my backup person restore my backup directory for the source DB as it looked on a certain day (May 28). I have an 8 day retention policy and so the backup files that were restored showed files all the way back to 5/20 ( includes the point I want to use in my set until clause).
    However, whenever I try to execute the rman clone, it tells me for each datafile:
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
    Like I said, I am able to do this for a current backup that is on disk. I moved the backup files to the source db server and it works fine. However, from these files restored from tape it errors.
    Here is the RMAN script:
    spool log to c:\temp\clone_CSPROD_CSPRSUM1.log;
    #connect to catalog <catalog info>
    # target is the source and auxiliary is destination
    #connect target <put in source info here>
    #connect auxiliary /
    run {

    Maybe making progress.
    I got into RMAN and did a List backup command. In looking at the output, I see that it does have the 5/20 backup showing. Here is part of the output:

    I then changed my rman script to use the *237046947* SCN number that says it is from 5/20. I them kicked off my rman script and got the following result.

    What I am not sure is if the SCN I used in my set until sequence command was from 5/20, when I look at the backup pieces that it is reading to restore from, they appear to be from backup files taken from June.
    (e.g channel d1: reading from backup piece F:\BACKUPS\CSPROD\D3\CSPROD_DATA_6148 -- this is a 6/16 backup file).
    Also, as you can see it was not able to do a media recovery.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

    Dear All,
    Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
    My configurations are
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
    CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
    Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
    then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
    ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
    ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
    So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
    RMAN> restore database;
    But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
    So, i am unable to recover my DB
    Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
    Thanks in advance
    Mahi

    All you restored was your datafiles.
    Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
    This is in the oracle documentation.
    "You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
    In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
    "Recover database"
    It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

  • G4Ti4200-VTD64 voltage incompatibility with MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR??

    Hello,
        I have the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 (4X) video card..  I want to upgrade my motherboard to K7N2 Delta-ILSR. Is there any voltage incompatibility?? I heard that new mother boards will support only AGP 1.5V. Is the AGP voltage of K7N2 Delta-ILSR 1.5volts??  Is my video card compatible with this voltage?? I really want to retain my current video card as I am quite satisfied with it and I'm not willing to invest on a new one at the moment. If there is an incompatibility could you suggest another Socket A MB with good performance and SATA RAID support.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Joseph,
    All 4X Vid Cards work on all 4X and 8X mobos. All 4X mobos work with all 4X and 8X Vid Cards.
    Take Care,

  • RMAN, RAC, NFS, and server lock ups

    Good day. My environment is:
    --a 2-node RAC
    --Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3
    --RHEL 5.1
    The goal is to use RMAN to push backups to a shared NFS mount (on a different server). Both nodes will have access to this location (in the event one node goes down, the other can still run backups). Easy, right?
    Wrong.
    I've tried every NFS mount option in the book. Most work just fine, some don't. When I use the recommended NFS mount options:
    rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp, vers=3,timeo=600, actimeo=0
    or
    rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,noac,forcedirectio, vers=3,suid
    The mount works normally. I can "ls" and "mkdir" and "touch" and "vi" and "cp" files back and forth from the NFS backup location to the RAC node all day long. No problems. However, when I try to do almost anything in RMAN which requires writing to the NFS backup location such as the command "backup archive all delete input;" (or even things as simple as a Crosscheck or RMAN configuration change which writes any changes back to the autobackup ControlFile) the node locks up. There are no errors (or if there are, I don't know where to find them), even when I use RMAN log.
    Just to recap: I run a Crosscheck (or any RMAN process that writes to the NFS backup location), the node will lock up, and I can let it sit for a day, inaccessible, with CRSCTL on the other node saying it's offline, and the node will never come out of a "frozen" state. It cannot be pinged or connected to.
    I think I can safely rule out NFS mount options at this point.
    I understand (after extensive reading of MOS docs and testing) that RAC RMAN can and does suffer from inefficient I/O when writing to an NFS mount. I don't think that's the culprit either. The autobackup ControlFile is not that big and I cannot see how running a simple Crosscheck would lock an entire node.
    I am hoping someone has encountered this in the past and hopefully it's just a simple misconfiguration somewhere.

    My NFS line in /etc/fstab is (these options are for supporting 11.2.0.3, 11.1.0.7, and 10.2.0.4/5 simultaneously): server.domain:/NFS_Export /backup nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600 0 0
    Before you installed GI, did you by chance do a yum update? I've encountered a similar issue which ended up being due to mkinitrd creating a corrupted kernel; mkinitrd is invoked during the GI installation when the ADVM drivers are added and in my case mkinitrd created a new kernel prior to the new kernel being installed. Second to that, make sure you have the matching kernel headers to your kernel version. If they are different then you could probably get away with just creating a new kernel with mkinitrd and relinking GI/RDBMS homes, but be prepared to wipe GI and reinstall.

  • 10.5.7 Fundamental Incompatibility with Mac Pro - Screen/System Lock ups

    Hi all.
    It looks like 10.5.7 is causing a lot of problems, but I think I found a problem that is very fundamental.
    First, my system. It's one of the original Mac Pros with Quad Xeons at 2.66GHz. It has 24GB of RAM and several drives in there. I have 3 30" displays plugged into 3 NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT cards. I originally ran a 10.5.7 combo update on my 10.5.6 system, and experienced these problems (detailed below). As I was also running a beta of iTunes and the iPhone SDK (the 3rd release), and beta 2 of Safari 4, I thought this may have caused some trouble. So, I tried an experiment.
    I bought a new Corsair 256GB SSD for my startup drive. Loaded my family pack of 10.5.6 onto it as a fresh install, and just applied the 10.5.7 combo update. I get the exact same behavior with no further software. So, this is a fundamental incompatibility of 10.5.7 with a machine having these specs.
    Now the problems. They start with the primary (in my case center) screen locking while the other two screens keep working. Meaning, the primary display "works" but none of the windows move, the clock freezes...yet, if you move the mouse there and luckily grab a window, you could move it out onto the other 2 displays and it would allow you to continue to use the application. If you hit the CONTROLkey and scroll up and down (zooming the display in and out) it can sometimes "unlock" the primary display, but then there are many artifacts. For example, the shadows cast by windows appear as plain grey "dashboard esque" blocks and have black stripes at the edges. Also, at random times, the machine just seems to hang completely, and unlock a minute or 2 later. Eventually it locks for good.
    Unfortunately this has lead me into a deadlock situation. My iTunes has been updated to the 3rd beta in the iPhone 3.0 SDK release. The library has been modified and only works with that version now. That version requires 10.5.7. So if I revert back to 10.5.6, I lose my iTunes Library or have to wait till the offical version of iTunes is realeased (although that may still require 10.5.7).
    I see lots of people are having Firewire (800 in particular) problems, and I have several drives I need on Firewire. It's not a solution to yank them. It all works fine under 10.5.6, of course.
    So the question is...is help on it's way? What to do!?
    Thanks for any insights.

    I can only tell you that I've run 10.5.7 on my Mac Pro, same model as yours, without any problems. As a beta tester my Mac Pro was the main hardware on which 10.5.7 was tested. I currently have it installed on a first generation iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro as well as a second generation MacBook Pro. So far not a single problem.
    But, I don't have multiple video cards nor do I use any beta version of iTunes (didn't know there was one since each system upgrade includes the current release) but I do use the Safari 4 Beta - the most recent version just released when 10.5.7 was released.)
    I can suggest you read the following about updates of system software:
    Essential Steps Before Updating OS X!
    Please do things right before updating OS X in order to avoid problems.
    A. Repair Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means your backup drive (should be erased first.)
    Source means your startup drive or volume.
    C. Download the Standalone Combo Updater from Apple.
    Be sure you quit all running applications and disconnect all peripherals (except original keyboard and mouse) before running the installer. When the installer is running do not use the computer in any way other than to respond to an installer dialog.
    Install the update by double-clicking on the installer package icon. When the installation is completed Restart the computer. Your computer will boot twice - this is normal. Upon completion of the update use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Not all permissions will seem repaired. You will get spurious reports regarding permissions related to iTunes, Front Row. These can be ignored. They will appear every time you repair permissions.
    Following these basic steps should prevent most if not all updating problems. Note that if you have unrepairable disk problems reported in Step A then DO NOT update your system until those problems are resolved.
    If you find that you did not follow these suggestions, then you might consider reinstalling OS X and going about the process properly in the hope of a successful result:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Using rman to backup a remote database

    I am after a good guide or advice on how (what) to install and (how to) run Oracle RMAN
    to backup a remote Oracle database.
    RMAN must be installed and run on a Solaris (SunOS 5.8) box remote from the Solaris
    box (also SunOS 5.8) running the Oracle database but connected to it via a TCP/IP
    network.
    The Oracle Recovery Manager and Database version is 9.2.0.1.0.
    RMAN must perform the backup of the remote database over the network and store
    the backup on a disk local to the RMAN box.
    The backups may be full or incremental and may be "hot" backups taken while the
    Oracle database is open.
    The disk files are to be then backed up to tape using Veritas.
    What software do I need to install on the RMAN box ?
    What software do I need to install on the remote Oracle database box ?
    Thanks,
    Brett Morgan.

    writes to a NFS-mounted diskRman is writing to disk or tape (when is bundled (libraries needed) with some backup software for tapes such as Veritas). The disk device could be local, or mounted disk form other host or storage (over NFS as Werner mentioned, SMB and others).
