RMAN NB_ORA parameters

Hello,
I'm about to restore a database, but I'm not sure what channel parameters should I be using such as NB_ORA_CLIENT, NB_ORA_CLASS etc.,
Any idea which view containts these details? I'm using controlfile as backup catalog not RMAN catalog.
Thanks,
kam

If you store your backup scripts in the rman repository, then they should contain the parameters. You can use the RMAN commands "list script names" and "print script" to check. E.g I have the following for Netvault backup.
RMAN> list script names;
List of Stored Scripts in Recovery Catalog
Scripts of Target Database MYDB
Script Name
Description
backup_mydb_daily
RMAN> print script backup_mydb_daily;
printing stored script: backup_mydb_daily
{allocate channel sbt1 device type 'SBT_TAPE' format 'BACKUP-1:AIX_FC:AIX_Daily_MYDB:%d_%s_%t';
send 'NV_JOB_TITLE=Backup MYDB Full';
backup database include current controlfile MAXSETSIZE=350G;
}

Showing RMAN configuration parameters 8.1.7

Hi group
What is the RMAN command in 8.1.7 to show RMAN configuration parameters, I know (SHOW ALL;) command is used in 9i version but it doesn't work on 8.1.7.
Thanks you very much

If I remember correctly, you could NOT configure and preserve parameters in 8.1.7 (so CONFIGURE and SHOW are not present in 8.1.7 RMAN).
You could create scripts with all the required commands and save them to the OS or to the Catalog -- preferably at the OS level so that they can be viewed and edited if the Catalog becomes unavailable.

RMAN configuration parameters for Oracle8i

HELP - i'm migrating a production database from one server to another and need the current RMAN configuation parameters on the original database in order to migrate these same parameters to the target database. Could anyone ghelp me figuring out the RMAN configuation parameters including the defaults on the source orcale8i database?
Thanks

In ORACLE 8i, there are NO stored RMAN parameters (I believe, 9i was the first version to add this feature).
Instead, in ORACLE 8i you had to specify all channel parameters, formats etc in a run block ... So, the good news is, in ORACLE 8i these parameters should be already "hardcoded" in the RMAN scripts ... in other words, nothing to transfer on a database level ...

RMAN performance parameters

Hello,
I have to backup big databases (more than 10 To) with RMAN in Oracle 10gR2 in a Networker environnement. I have to do full , incremental and archivelog backup.
Could you tell me, please, what are the parameters which have an impact on the performance, the speed of the backup?
I am thinking of number of channels, FILESPERSET ...
Could you tell me the relevance of each parameter of performance of RMAN with an example, for the backup and also for a restoration?
Thank you very much

Simple example using catalog stored on test1 database
BACKUP
rman <<EOF
connect target rman/rman_oracledba@test2
connect catalog rman/rman_oracledba@test1
run { allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup full tag backup_1 filesperset 2
format '/data/oracle9/BACKUP/rman_BACKUP_%d_%t.%p.%s.%c.%n.%u.bus'
database;
EOF
RESTORE
export ORACLE_SID=TEST2
sqlplus /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
startup mount
exit
EOF
rman <<EOF
connect target rman/rman_oracledba@test2
connect catalog rman/rman_oracledba@test1
run { allocate channel d1 type disk;

NEW 9I RMAN: PERSISTENT CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS - INTRODUCTION

제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2001-11-09
NEW 9I RMAN: PERSISTENT CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS - INTRODUCTION
===============================================================
오라클 9i 부터는 RMAN 에서 항상 사용되는 파라미터 세팅을 고정적으로 할 수 있게
되어 매번 파라미터를 주어야 하는 수고를 하지 않아도 된다.
Persistent Configuration Parameters 기능은 RMA 에 다음과 같은 변화를 주었다:
* RMAN 에서 파라미터의 디폴트를 DBA 가 커스터마이징 할 수 있게 되어 사용이 편리해졌다.
* 한번 커스터마이징한 파라미터는 모든 Job 에 적용이 된다.
* DBA 는 'BACKUP DATABASE' 명령어 하나만으로 RMAN 에서 데이터베이스 백업을 수행
할 수 있게 되었다.
* 오라클 9i 의 CONFIGURE 명령어는 RMAN 의 default setting 을 영구적으로 바꾸어 준다.
* 파라미터의 값은 컨트롤파일에 저장이 되며 필요한 경우에는 리커버리 카다로그와 맞추어
주는 과정이 필요하다.
오라클 9i RMAN 에서는는 'show' 명령어로 현재의 파라미터 세팅을 확인 할 수 있다.
SHOW show_operand [,show_operand ...];
show_operand: RETENTION POLICY |
EXCLUDE |
BACKUP COPIES |
CHANNEL |
DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE |
DEVICE TYPE |
SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE |
ALL
'show all' 명령어로 현재의 모든 세팅을 확인 한다.
RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default

이렇게 Persistent Configuration Parameters 를 세팅하기 위해서는 스크립트를 만들어
수행 하는 것이 좋다:
run {
# Use the configure commands to create your backup policy.
# When complete these will be the new persistent
# configuration parameters for RMAN in the controlfile
# of the target datbase.
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO

CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/proj/SME9i/backup/snapf_prod9.f';
이렇게 스크립트를 수행 한 후에 결과를 확인 하기 위해서는:
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:

CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;

결과는 위와 같다.

RMAN image copies not generating

Hi All,
i have configured default backup type as image copes in below

2> ;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO COPY;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COPY PARALLELISM 2;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete
still the backup is taking only backup sets not image copies
Please advice how to get image copies instead of backup sets, below are the backup and list of copy backups

Hi,
Since the error ORA-19809 indicates the lack of space in flash recovery area during the media recovery, I suggested increasing the value of the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.
Yes, during the media recovery the RMAN will restore the archived log to the default destination (only if the required archived logs are not already on the disks).You can confirm the restore location of the archived log in RMAN restore log/destination specified by parameters log_archive_dest_1/db_recovery_file_dest.

I took hotbackup using RMAN catalog which went to tape. Here is the script for that:

I am trying to restore this backup that is on tape (EMC Networker) to a different node. I can do this outside of Networker without any problems. However, when I try to get the backup from tape I have this issue:
1. initPROD.ora is created and modified accordingly on a new server
2. Export sid, startup nomount on new server
export ORACLE_SID=PROD (on this new server)
*rman target /*

3. I then run the following and get this error:

I cannot seem to pass this error. This error indicates that the db has to be either mounted or DBID set before the restore of teh controlfile. Mounting db before the restore of the controlfile does not work. Setting db id 1) does not make sense because if the primary db is down then I cannot get it, right? My primary is up now, so I was able to get db id, but setting it made the restore hang with the following:

Do a list command to see if the controlfile backup is on tape.
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
I suggest you to read the manual of EMC Networker or call EMC on how to restore the database to another node. I am using Veritas Netbackup, it may be similar to EMC Networke for your reference. There are a few things that need to be followed when you restore database to another node:
1) set DB_ID, which you have done
2) set NB_CLIENT (in your case NSR_CLIENT) to the primary node from where backup was taken
3) configure the backup server to allow redirect restore between the two nodes.
Hope this helps.

the following command execute from hosta machine.
$ rman target sys/<passwd>@ora10g2 catalog rman/rman@cora10g2 ...

RMAN>
I am not able to restore spfile from rman backup ;;;

Hi,
I would like to know few things
1. How are you setting the db_name ? you can set db_id at RMAN, how are you setting the db_name ?
2. Do you have any default init file at default location ? if yes, is the db_name parameter set correctly in that file ?
Since spfile is yet to be restored, you must set the db_name parameter correctly before you start spfile restore.This can be done with init file at default location which can even contain just one paremeter i.e db_name.

Got error when creating a standby DB from rman: no backup or copy... Why?

We try to create standby database from a production DB on another server (10.2.0.4). The RMAN backup is in the nfs file system which is also mounted to the target server (the DR box). So, the access path for the rman backup is the same look from primary DB server and DR DB server. I started the RMAN run:
RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
4> ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux2 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
5> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE for standby
6> nofilenamecheck
7> dorecover;
8> }
9>
10> exit

RMAN in standby Database

Hello all,
We want to configure RMAN in physical standby database but getting below error
[oracle@timsdr ~]$ rman catalog rmandr/rmandr@rman target system/password

RMAN>
Standby DB is in mount mode.Pls give some idea..

catalog rmandr/rmandr@rmanIs this catalog different from the one that the Production database is registered with ?
Note : You cannot register the same database -- ie Production and Standby have the same DBID -- twice in a catalog.
Yet your catalog reports that the database is not registered.
Seemingly, Production is registered to a different catalog OR is not registered at all.
If using the same Catalog you should
a. NOT register the Standby
b. STOP recovery on the Standby
c. MOUNT STANDBY on the Standby
and then RMAN BACKUP the Standby
Once the Backup is completed, restart Recovery on the Standby.

Hi all,
11.2.0.1
Aix 6.1
We have 2 similar DB servers.
But when I do SHOW ALL ins RMAN the have different setup?
DB Server1:
RMAN> show all ;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name PROD are:

How do I replace >CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS;
with the default CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1 and save the config?
Thanks a lot,
zxy
