Rman loss of control file

hi,
i am beginner...
plz i want 2 practice rman
plz guide me for the scenario of loss of controlfile
i.e what could be pre-configuration of rman, how to take backup/restore of controlfile?

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ARCHDATA are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%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 CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/archivedata/ARCHDATA/rman/bp_df%t_s%s_s%p';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default

  • Loss of control file

    Hi
    My database is running on solaris 10. database verrison is 10.2.0.3.0
    when connecting ot db after databases get started. it throws error

    I dont have it backup
    how do i recover it
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have backup control file or auto backup control file by rman or not.
    If you have backup, try recover controlfile from rman backup( you should know DBID).
    Anyway If you don't have rman backup. so recreate controlfile (if you have backup control file to trace, you can use it):
    1. Take a full backup of the database, including all datafiles and redo
    log files.
    2. Connect / as sysdba or as sys user and do a STARTUP NOMOUNT.
    3. Issue the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement.

  • No RMAN records in control file

    Hi,
    We're running 10.2.0.4 Database on AIX with no catalog Database.
    We keep all the backup info in controlfiles only.
    When we do that backup, we're able to successfully back it up (including archivelogs). But I'm unable to find any records in the controlfiles.
    SQL> select * from  V$BACKUP_SET;
    no rows selected
    and
    SQL>  sho parameter control
    NAME                                 TYPE                             VALUE
    control_file_record_keep_time        integer                          14
    Could you advice where my backup info i going?
    Thanks
    CSM

    My backups are safe, I'm connected to the same Database as that's the only one exist in that machine...
    I'm seeing list of control files and archivelogs when i give 'list copy;' but not the datafiles.
    The only thing I'm doing is, I'm backing up the Database using a 3rd party tool which uses RMAN in turn...
    If we assume that tool is doing some mess, it's not happening on all the Databases backed up by that tool... and I'm sure that tool is not doing anything except just using RMAN code snippets.

  • Rman backup of control file

    Hi,
    We backup our database every using the below rman commmands.

    where is the control file stored then?? Pls advise.

  • Rman controle file backup

    hi,
    RMAN>backup database
    on executing the above command does rman backsup the control file also????
    Edited by: 793097 on Dec 7, 2010 12:49 AM

    Hi 793097,
    Yes it does backup the controlfile implicitly by the command.
    There are two flavors.
    - If you have configured controlfile autobackup to on (use show all to check) rman will create a separate backup in a file with format c-dbid-date-xx.
    - without configuration the backup piece containing datafile 1 (system01.dbf) will also contain the controlfile backup.

  • Control File to a catalog Database

    Hi guys,
    I'm kind of new here. So sorry if this has already been answered. (did some searching and nothing showed up)
    Environment - Oracle 9i
    Ok. Currently we are using RMAN with a control file. And there's a requirement to set up a catalog database. I would like to know if there's a way to migrate the current set up to a catalog database. Final goal is to make sure that the past backups will be available after moving to a catalog database.
    thanks!
    regds,
    Dam

    Controlfile backup taken during a backup means you will have past information relevant to current state as of the time of the backup. Going forward with a catalog means you will have a longer (as in closer to forever) record of backups whereas a CF only keeps what it can up to the record keep time. You can always catalog prior backups if you want.

  • Control file not current

    Hi Everyone,
    I just restored my controlfile from autobackup in RMAN and after mounting the database with the restored controlfiles, I took a backup of archivelog and in the end a warning message has been displayed saying that the controlfile autobackup is possible as it is not the current. Can any one of you please explain the warning..
    Thanks in advance for your help..

    Thanks for the reply sir...Here are the details..
    ORACLE VERSION -10G release 2 on windows vista home basic.
    I have set the controlfile autobackup on in rman configuration
    and performed some structural changes to the database, like added some tablespaces.
    And went to rman to check the controlfile autobackup available by using list backup by file;
    and after that i shutdown the database clean shutdown immediate.
    and open rman restored spfile from autobackup
    and restored controlfile from autobackup and mounted database.
    and after that I issued an archivelog backup from time 'sysdate-2' until time 'sysdate'
    and got he following warning which tells

  • RMAN & Control file ...

    Hi,
    Is any reason to use the control file of a production database as repository for RMAN ? If the disks where the control files are located will be broken RMAN can't be used for a restore & recovery.
    Thanks for your answers,
    Paul

    Are you basically asking whether it is better to use a control file to store RMAN backup information than an RMAN catalog?
    The reasons you should use an RMAN catalog are -
    o take advantage of the full features of RMAN (database clone for example).
    o recover to another server even if there is a total server loss of the original server and database
    o not have to potentially restore the control file copies from a filesystem backup to perform a restore
    As someone else pointed out the DBID is stored in the catalog and you will need this to restore from complete database loss.
    If you're using a third party product (allocating channels to sbt) then I would use an RMAN catalog to store all the backup information and on which tape they are.
    You need to consider if you're a case where the RMAN catalog is not required. What type of disaster are you planning for?
    Also, if you use the control file be aware of the control_file_record_keep_time
    Message was edited: added the point about control_file_record_keep_time

    Check the value for the parameter "COMPATIBLE" in the source and standby database instance parameter files.
    "COMPATIBLE" should be the same.
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i70517
    "... ensure the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is set to the same value on both the primary and standby databases"

  • Control file and Rman

    Hello,
    I have 2 disctinct servers.
    oracle 10gr2 in each one with the same linux red hat 4 version.
    the second server is just to TEST if the backup create with the first one, works fine.
    So the install in each server is exactlly the same...
    same files, same path etc.
    Scenario:
    1 from srv one I execute a full backup with RMAN
    2 I copy the file in server 2
    3 I move a datafile in order to create an error
    4 I test : restore database in server 2...
    I get the followin error:
    RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 02/24/2008 21:15:37
    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 8 found to restore
    and this command return no result:
    RMAN> list backupset;
    RMAN>
    the file created with server 1 have been copied in the declared path into server 2...
    I have execute a crosscheck backup too
    RMAN> crosscheck backup;
    using channel ORA_DISK_1
    RMAN>
    Must I copy the controle file too? in this case will I have an inconsistent error?
    Thanks to help
    Cheers

    You must have
    controlfile autobackup on
    (If you don't change the format it will be in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, and the format will be c-<database id>-<yyyymmdd>_<piece>.ctl).
    You must copy that file, as it has information about your most recent backup, the backup you just made.

    System altered. Upto this i was clear, but now i cann't understand when you actually dropped the control file from you database(in running stat) how can you perform "alter system checkpoint" and other "alter tablespace.." command? Once controlfile is inaccessible, oracle database is not suppose to function.

  • NEED TO RECOVER A DATABASE USING RMAN with CONTROL FILE AND NO RMAN CATALOG, DISK FAILURE..

    Hello All,
    The disk failure caused our production data on the disk to be resotred with the backup data available and recovered through RMAN with cotrolfile , and no catalog DB is configured.
    I had the restored the spfile and control file then recovered the database,
    startup nomount;
    RESTORE SPFILE FROM ' path '  ;
    Shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount
    Restore controfile from autobackup;
    restore database;
    [AT POINT , A MESSAGE PROMPTED LIKE " failur of restored command - some targets not found"  (thinking may be few archives are not found, i proceeded to incomeplete recovery of DB) ]
    recover database;
    Finished reocvery .
    Now in the Grid control i see that 60 blocks of a particular datafile are corrupted and needs recovery. Do i need to get the data file resotred again and recover it or any simple way to recover this data file
    When i perform the block recovery , it says recovery failed and when i run the data file recovery it succeeds. Please provide you inputs to recover the database as it is production BI database and pretty critical to our client.
    Thanks for your valuable time in advance.

    Ran G.

    These is a common problem if the object are created due to NOLOGGIN option. If you check most of the object which are facing block corruption is indexes .
    Use the below query to check the objects :
    It will map each block from v$database_block_corruption to either a segment or if the block is free.
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    set pagesize 2000
    set linesize 250
    SELECT e.owner, e.segment_type, e.segment_name, e.partition_name, c.file#
    , greatest(e.block_id, c.block#) corr_start_block#
    , least(e.block_id+e.blocks-1, c.block#+c.blocks-1) corr_end_block#
    , least(e.block_id+e.blocks-1, c.block#+c.blocks-1)
    - greatest(e.block_id, c.block#) + 1 blocks_corrupted
    , null description

    WHERE e.file_id = c.file#
    AND e.block_id <= c.block# + c.blocks - 1
    AND e.block_id + e.blocks - 1 >= c.block#

  • RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore

    I am cloning a new database using a full backup from previous nightly rman backup using a standby database utilizing catalog. When I run the duplicate command, I get

    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

    RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore
    But the backup of controlfile does exists in the right place. What am I missing?
