RMAN / NetBackup configuration

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I have been trying to implement NetBackup for SAP for some time now with progress but not success.
Currently it looks like my backup does not include the archive logs:
SQL> set echo on
SQL> alter database open
2 ;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open
SQL> alter database open noresetlogs ;
alter database open noresetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
SQL> recover database using backup controlfile ;
ORA-00279: change 41195064 generated at 03/20/2008 01:01:10 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/FSX/oraarch/FSXarch1_4529_636301756.dbf
ORA-00280: change 41195064 for thread 1 is in sequence #4529
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
'/oracle/FSX/oraarch/FSXarch1_4529_636301756.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
My guess is there's something wrong with my initFSX.sap file... have any of you worked through a similar problem so that you can offer advice?
Thanks, George

NEW 9I RMAN: PERSISTENT CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS - INTRODUCTION

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 ...];

Question on Netbackup configuration

DB version : 11.2
OS platform : AIX 6.1
Netbackup version : 7
I need to configure RMAN backup to tape for my Production DB using netbackup as the MML. The instruction given to me was
Shutdown all DBs running from this Oracle Home # Missed this step
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
ls -lrt libobk.a
ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.a64 libobk.a
Start all DBsI did all the above steps except bringing down the DB running from this ORACLE_HOME. After the symbolic link creation I even tested backup of the Control file to tape successfully. Tonight at non-peak hours I am going to run the Full DB backup. Will there be any issue due to DB not being bounced? I can't test it now as it is production.

Hi,
did all the above steps except bringing down the DB running from this ORACLE_HOME...
Will there be any issue due to DB not being bounced?Don't worry the MML installation and link creation can be done without stopping the running instances since Oracle release 9i.
From:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96566/rcmconfg.htm#453248
You do not need to start or shut down the instance when installing the media management library.You seem to be on 11gR2 so it all should work fine.
I can't test it now as it is productionWell doing the backup now will generate extra I/O now as well....

what is best configuration strategy for rman backup.AND BACKUP WITH RECOVERY CATALOG OR WITHOUT RECOVERY CATALOG
PLEASE TELL ME
Edited by: afzal on Feb 26, 2011 1:45 AM

For simply two databases, there really wouldn't be a need for a recovery catalog. You can still restore/recover without a controlfile and without a recovery catalog.
From this:
afzal wrote:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 days.I am assuming you want to keep two weeks worth of backups, therefore these:
alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=15 days;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 daysShould be:
RMAN> sql 'alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=22';
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14;22 would give you that extra layer of protection for instances when a problem occurs with a backup and you want to ensure that data doesn't get aged out.

I can't find anything wrong with the syntax in the script, but I'm fairly new to this stuff so I could just be missing something. Does anyone know what could be causing these errors?

I just realized that I was running this script against 9i instances. The script is meant to be run against 10g instances and worked fine when I did so. I guess I'll have to adjust the script accordingly for 9i.

RMAN/TSM Configuration - Best Practices?

Wondering how best to configure RMAN with TSM from a network perspective. Dual HBA's? Suggestions?
Thanks.

* The OWB client software will reside on each user's windows desktop.
Yes.
* Should there be one repository that will deploy to the runtime environments of TEST, USER ACCEPTANCE and PRODUCTION environments? or should there be three repositories, one for each environment?
One.
* If there is only a single repository that will deploy to all three environments, should it reside on TEST, USER ACCEPTANCE or PRODUCTION server?
Test, but you need a repository on the other environments too.
* Does OWB have sufficient version control capabilities to drive three environments simultaneously?
No, no version control at all. You can buy a third-party tool like http://www.scm4all.com
* Is it possible to have an additional development repository on a laptop to do remote development of source/target definition, ETL etc and then deploy it to a centralized development repository? Perhaps it is possible to generate OMB+ scripts from the laptop repository and then run them against the centralized repository on the shared server.
Use the export/Import from the OWB via mdl-Files.

RMAN/NETBACKUP Issue : how to link netbackup with rman in windows?

Hi friends,
Please let me know what are steps needed to link netbackup 6.0 with rman 8.1.0.7 and 9.2.0.1 in windows 2003 (32bit) server ?
Thanks, Muhammed.

Install your netbackup. After that you will have samples given by netbackup which will give a basic structure for backup scripts. <install_folder>\ext\db_ext\oracle\samples\rman.
You'll have to link your netbackup with oracle. It is just a script that you'll run. It will be in <install_folder>\openv\netbackup\bin\oracle_link. This will create the necessary softlinks.

dont think you need nb_ora_serv unless the NBU software didnt know where to send the backups but it should.
in netbackup admin console, look at the job activity and watch and see does a connection come in from the NBU client, the client being the server where the database resides
have you ever succesfully backed anything else from RAC to NBU? Took me ages first time to get it right.

RMAN-05021 configuring retention policy on standby

Hello all.
Running Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Linux (x64); single-node instance.
We've the following setup:
bvlive (PRIMARY)
bvstby2 (STANDBY)
We currently have a retention policy of 21 days, and backup space on the standby is starting to be an issue.
Initially, I thought I could reconfigure this on the standby - but RMAN won't allow this:
STANDBY:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 days;
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of configure command at 10/15/2012 10:09:50
RMAN-05021: this configuration cannot be changed for a BACKUP or STANDBY control fileWhich makes sense when I think about it. I saw this thread retention policy is not configure but get different results:
PRIMARY:
RMAN> configure retention policy to recovery window of 14 days;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 21 DAYS;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name BVLIVE are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;STANDBY:
RMAN> SHOW ALL;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name BVSTBY2 are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 21 DAYS;Which also makes sense; so I'm not convinced the original poster solved his problem. I've seen a few threads about this which involve:
1. shutting down standby
2. configuring retention policy on primary
3. taking a backup controlfile from primary
4. copying it across to the standby
5. restarting standby using the backed-up controlfile
But then this seems to be for RAC, which we're not using.
It occurred to me that I could use the KEEP UNTIL option when taking backups, but ran into; ORA-19811: cannot have files in DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST with keep attributes (i.e. I can't use KEEP and store backups in the FRA).
Can anyone please advise on the best way to get the retention period down on the standby, ideally without having to rebuild the standby from scratch?
Thanks,
Ray

Hello all.
@ P. Forstmann: thanks for confirming.
@ S Rao: Yep - this is the link I had in mind. Tried it out and it worked. One thing to note is that I didn't have to rename datafiles - presumably creating the standby controlfile negates the need for this in 11g (indeed, the alert log shows these two lines when you mount):
Set as converted control file due to db_unique_name mismatch
Changing di2dbun from bvlive to bvstby2which put my mind at ease when the rename commands failed, saying the files didn't exist
@ mseberg: Typically, our MOS license ran out just as a useful link shows up.
Thanks everyone.

Rman default configured fine and in v$rman_configuration but cannot display

using RMAN show all; or show default device type;
anything I missed? thanks.
- Zack

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Thank!
Just didn't realize I needed to set the text of the component but with your
tip and thinking about it, it makes sense.
Actually I needed to use:
setText(t_label.getText());
Using toString got me: "java.swing......" (the components text representation)
Thanks a bunch!

RMAN BACKUP configured to asm

Vinoth here.....Hi to all
We have rman backup in our environment and rman backup location is in local server '/oracle/app/oracle/rman_backpup' like this, when i check with that physical location no backup file is found. It seems like backup is stored in asm diskgroup '+DGBACKUP'. I am confused because i saw the rman log file which is written to a file during the rman backup process, it shows the backup is available in '/oracle/app/oracle/rman_backpup'. can anyone explain hw it happens because i am new to asm environment.
Thanks in advance

RMAN area configuration requirments

I want to take my back up by RMAN , i know i need /ORAflash area. what other things i need to make RMAN ready for taking backup...
Secondly what is the defauld location of /ORAflash area? Is it possible i can make flash area on some remote location?

nothing specific
If DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is set to the flash area then
BACKUP DATABASE will work. however you may need more than this.

I have some doubts regarding backup with Rman to tape.
I´m using netbackup and already created a policy 'dwRman'

I have similar question.
I have configured RMAN backups using NEtbackup and ran few test backups and worked fine. I could restore and recover the database too(testing).
Everything works fine.
I would like to delete these test backups from RMAN repository and start real backups.
This is the script;
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=ts-oradb-si,NB_ORA_POLICY=ts-oradb-si_oracle_test,NB_ORA_SCHED=Default-Application-Backup';
BACKUP
FULL
SKIP INACCESSIBLE
TAG hot_db_bk_level0
FILESPERSET 5
# recommended format
FORMAT 'bk_%s_%p_%t'
DATABASE;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
# backup all archive logs
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
BACKUP
filesperset 20
FORMAT 'al_%s_%p_%t'
ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
and parameters;
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO '%F'; # deft
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARALLELISM 1; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/snapcf_trt
