RMAN Nocatalog

Hi,
when using RMAN to BACKUP with NOCATALOG option, would it be any table for recording Backupset and other RMAN informations ?
Thanks.
PS : versions 9i, 8i, 10g.

No. If you think about it, that would not be a good idea, if you don't get the DB opened. The information is stored in the controlfile instead.
You are supposed to put RMAN in controlfile autobackup mode, in order to be able to restore the controlfile prior to any other restore of datafiles, should your controlfile get damaged also.
Kind regards

Restore backups on new server with RMAN (nocatalog).

Hi,
On my production database (Oracle8i/Solaris8) I use RMAN(nocatalog) to backup database:
connect target
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup full tag = 'Full Backup'
format '/oracle_backups/db_%t_%s_p%p'
(database);
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup
full
etc.}
I need to test backup by restoring it on test server (Oracle8i/Linux7.3). How I can point RMAN on test server to backup files location?
Thanks.

If you use a recovery catalog and want to duplicate database in a fresh server.
1. connect with the target database.
2. connect with the recovery catalog.
3. connect with the auxiliary database.
4. Run the duplicate command.
Before running the duplicate command copy the backup piece to your fresh server from the target server. Both mount point should be same.

Rman backup with nocatalog

hi,
if i take backup by rman nocatalog ,where it cud be problematic if take backup in nocatalog & wt should i do to resolve them.
thxs

Hi,
As you said that you are rman is with nocatalog, then its going to use the Control file for storing the informaiton about the backups.
Could not able to understand "where it cud be problematic if take backup in nocatalog "
Got, Control file is going to store the information for a period time "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME " specifies the minimum age in days of a record before it can be reused. Manily it will fall under the "Circular reuse records".
Problem will as the if you are want to go for more than one DB, it would be problematic and cases where Control file got corrupted. Try to go Recovery Catalog.

RMAN-06010: error while looking up datafile: 82

Iam building dataguard - Physical Standby database by using the RMAN duplicate command and we are not using the recovery catalog but control file.
Iam getting the following error while running the duplicate command.
set newname for datafile 82 to
"/dflx02/flx/o01flx3rbs/rbs02_02.O01FLX3";
RMAN-06010: error while looking up datafile: 82
Actually we dropped the datafile(tablespace) before taken the backup but it is giving error though we are using the latest control file.
I do not see this file is available in the database as we dropped it successfully.
Could some one let me know what could be the problem and how to resolve it.
Your early response is greatly appreciated.
Note:

Thank you for your reply. Actually Iam not renaming the datafile but building the
dataguard instance and some how control file is looking for old datafile that was deleted.
Actually both primary and dataguard instances are running on 10.2.0.3 . Oracle control file is listing the datafile 82 as old deleted file, while building the dataguard.
---- This file was deleted long time back but still oracle control file is looking for this file while building the dataguard. Iam using the latest control file.
set newname for datafile 82 to
"/dflx02/flx/o01flx3rbs/rbs02_02.O01FLX3"
When I listed the datafile 82, it is showing the correct datafile.

Hi,
never tried it, but I know that the shared folders in vbox don't work like normal filesystems.
I would rather setup an NFS server on the host and mount an NFS share in the guest.

Rman backup - how to preserve the file names exactly when backing up?

Hi,
I have been using RMAN for backup and I want to change things so that it is
easier to go back to the old tried-and-true method of recovery by recreating
a control file manually via the trace file, which lists the files out individually.
The first change - to change from compression to copy.. is fine.
But even then, rman names the files some weird name.
I am not trying this- using the disk format command is supposed to work..
rman nocatalog << EOF
connect target;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk parallelism 1 \
format '/agile/ora_flash_recovery_area/PECHA/backupset/backup/%U';
backup as copy database;
release channel;
but it still is using wierd (auto-generated) names for the data files as it backs up.
Has anyone else got this working? Thanks Marvin.

Ok here is why I would like exact filenames..
1) to speed the time of recovery. I am much more familiar with traditional recovery methods than RMAN, and while I myself installed and suggested RMAN for backups, our other (11i) database does not use RMAN and so I am more familiar with traditional recovery. So to be able to recover quickly I want to have these files as close as possible to the original names so that I can use my standard script (from a trace file) to recreate the control fiile. If I can get RMAN to spit out the filies with original names but keep RMAN for making the backup, I may ditch the rman bacjup script in chron and write a traditional hot backup script which copies the files the old fashioned way.
2) to reduce cloning time. The RMAN duplicate command is not as good as I thought. I was actually easier for me to restore RMAN backups first to a box that has all the same paths, and THEN shutdown (cold) these files and copy them cold to another server, and restore from there. Agaiin if I can get the original file names, I could choose to do recovery either way (RMAN or traditional) in a real emergency instead of being forced to use rman.
3) to be able to switch to a backup file in the FRA without having to rename it. Seems logical if it is already named correctly.
thanks ! Marvi

Recover Database in RMAN vs SQL*PLUS

Hello,
Oracle 11.2.0.1, Oracle Linux 5.5 UEK.
I recently did a "recover database" in sql*plus, but an attempt to open the database gave ORA-01113, complaining the system tablespace requried more recovery. Then I used RMAN (nocatalog) and after the same "recover database" command I was able to open the database.
It seems there are differences between SQL*PLUS and RMAN "recover database" command. I have not been able to locate the chapter in the Oracle documentation that explains the difference. I have some ideas, but...
Thanks.
h3. Solution Summary:
The recover command in RMAN compared to SQL*Plus implements a more user friendly processing logic based on the current detected scenario. For instance, a RMAN recover database command may actually perform a "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" and automatically apply all archived and online redo logs if available. The same can be achieved with the recover command in SQL*plus, but will have to be done manually.

Dude wrote:
I did not remove any datafiles or redo logs. it is the same restore operation as before, and again RMAN "recovery database" succeeds, whereas SQL recover has trouble. This tells me something is different between the two methods. For one, RMAN does not requrie to specify "using backup controlfile".
Maybe someting about "resetlogs" that that RMAN recover can handle and SQL recover not?No,problem is there.If you using rman execute RECOVER DATABASE it also will apply online logs(if available) also and as result you will get complete recovery however you must open database with resetlogs option due to you recovered database using backup controlfile.So also you can recover and open database applying this online logs.After executing RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE you have to pass full path of online log then press ENTER so log will apply and you can open database with RESETLOGS.See below

And these is not any difference.
Hope that help you and you got answer.

Problem about tdp for sap rman error

I installed tdp for sap and scheduled a online backup , after the backup finished, I checked the log.
all data files were backuped successfully. but there is an error about rman. I do not know how to do about that? Could you help me? I think the backup could be successful without rman, why in the backup log, it shows a rman error .
I checked the initDEV.sap and initDEV.utl, there is no entry about rman, I do not use rman_util.

Hello Victor,
we need the RMAN commands that were executed and at which step this error occurs.
Maybe it is a problem with the snap controlfile for the AUTOBACKUP or many other scenarios are possible.
We are also using the TDP for mySAP, but without RMAN support.
If you want to use just RMAN (like we do for non-SAP systems / no BR*Tools) you can save a lot of license/service costs, if you are using TDP for Oracle, but keep in mind that you are losing the support for that by SAP. You can directly open a call by oracle for these situations.
If you want this scenario as described we need more detailed information. Maybe a "LIST BACKUP" would also be nice.
Regards
Stefan

Backup database using RMAN

Hi,
I wanted to perform the first backup with RMAN and I used this command and I got error:
RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE;
"can not backup or copy active file in noarchivelog mode".
But in order to turn on the log_mode to ARCHIVELOG, first I need to do shutdown the db and perform the backup. Right?
So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?
I also performed this command successfully...
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
new RMAN configuration parameter are successfully stored...
but I'm not sure the controlfiles are being backed up. How can I verify this and where I can find the controlfile backup file?
Thanks,

So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?You can do RMAN backups with DB in NOARCHIVELOG mode, but the DB must be MOUNTED and not OPEN. You can do something like the following :
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman nocatalog

Can you please write what did you exactly do to solve this problem? I tried to set up permission in many diffrent ways (even giving the full access to the share to Everyone) but it didn't help.
Any help highly appreciate

Clone of auxillary database using rman with the source database unavailable

Hi,
Is it possible to clone a database with just the source database's backup pieces. The source database is currently unavailable. The source database backup was taken through rman - nocatalog mode. We have been provided the backup pieces. Any clues on how to go about it?

From what i can understand is we need to install the rpm and start its service
if thier is anything else that i am missing please let me know .thanks

we dont need to do anything to use rman in windows but how can i use rman in linux?Same way. Once Oracle is installed and Database is created you don't need anything else, simply run it, for example :
$ rman nocatalog
