Rman offline restores.

Dear All,
Here is the scenario. The test database we take offline backup on Monday and Thursday. We are keeping the redundancy to 2. so on Friday, we got the last backup of Monday and Thursday.
Now we like to restore the database to the monday (not the most current one:thursday). What will be the steps: is the older control file to be engaged for it.
Thanks for all the time and suggestions.

Hi ebain,
This won't work if the OP is in archivelog mode.It will work because the OP takes offline backups see the original post:

Solution : As in above case, I have started the database in mount and then alter it to the open mode but it doesnot work out. After some analysis ,troubleshooting and googling, we have decided to flush the shared pool component of the SGA . So, we have started the database in mount stage and then flush the shared pool and further alter it to open stage . Below are the steps performed to solve this issue .

RMAN redirected restore in windows.

Hi All,
My production database is getting backed up using rman/tivoli to tape.
I need to do restoration in another machine using rman redirected restore.
Does anyone has idea what files (tsm files) need to be modified to do redirected restore on windows.
Thanks,
Hal.

One correction :
Tivoli Data Protection (TDP) - I don't know which version - Guide for Oracle
But normally RMAN should handle all the stuff. It's only necessary Tivoli server is able to access the new host.

RMAN not restoring database

I've been trying to restore a tablespace that I intentionally deleted a table from just to practice on restoring data in Oracle. Basically I did a full backup of the whole database the night before. The next morning I deleted a complete table from the TEST_DATA tablespace intentionally. I then ran the following commands:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TEST_DATA OFFLINE IMMEDIATE;
RMAN> RESTORE TABLESPACE TEST_DATA;
RMAN> RECOVER TABLESPACE TEST_DATA;
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TEST_DATA ONLINE;
All commands ran successfully with no error. It pulled the dbf file from the backup file and restored it (Or so it seemed). the RECOVER command did go pretty quick. It ran for about 1 second and completed. This was kind of odd. When I opened the tablespace I noticed that the table was not recovered.
The tablespace data was recovered when I did a full database restore and recover though. I dont want to take down the whole database just to restore a tablespace.
Am I doing it wrong? Your help is appreciated.

Hello;
I would expect something more like this :
recover tablespace ABLOCK
until time "to_date('10-JAN-2013 14:32:46','dd-mon-rrrr hh24:mi:ss')"

Error with Oracle temp file after Offline restore

Hi,
I did a offline backup of my Oracle 9I database after shutting down the DB. After I restore the offline file system backup, I saw the following error in alter.log:
"ORA-01186: file 255 failed verification tests
ORA-01122: database file 255 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 255: '/oracle/SED/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1'
ORA-01205: not a data file - type number in header is 0
File 255 not verified due to error ORA-01122"
When I did a query I got the following error :
"SQL> select * from dba_temp_files;
select * from dba_temp_files
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01187: cannot read from file 255 because it failed verification tests
ORA-01110: data file 255: '/oracle/SED/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1'
I know how to recover it but Why is this so ? Is this normal when I restore the offline backup file including the temp.data1 ?
Any reply is appreciated.
Rgds,

Because you did something wrong.
This is just one more brilliant laser beam example of why RMAN is the only tool that should be used for backup and recovery once you are on 9i or higher versions.

How to confiuge RMAN offline and online back-up at a pre-determined time.

Hallo!I am an Oracle newbie currently studying the Oracle 10g Database Administration Certification.Still very new to Enterprise Manager.
My query is that can you configure an offline database back-up such that you can set up an offline backup at a pre-determined time?
I am assumng a real-office scenario where a DBA would like to have an offline back-up at night e.g. at 1 am when they are no users in the office.If the DBA can set the system such that everday at 1 am ,the instance shuts down,back-up is done e.g a backup set that can be stored on tape,then after backup the instance re-starts itself.All this should be automated such that by the time staff report in the morning ,the instance is up and running and users can work seamlessely
How can I automate this entire process using RMAN and/or Enterprise Manager or a sript to achieve this?Also,I would like to know if you can automate the same for online back-up such that it can backup while instance is still running and users are accessing the DB.
Please help me on this and I shall be infinitely grateful.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
On UNIX server, you can use shell script and sql scripts that can do this job for you. Once the scripts are tested succesfully, you can put them in the crontab.
Crontab entry should reflect the time, day, week, month details as you thought to schedule it.

RMAN backup restoring to new server help!

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. The production database was copied (datafiles, controlfile etc) to a NEW server that I'm trying to set up as a development DB. I take full database backups using RMAN from the production server, and I want to restore them on the development server. I think I somehow have to specify the filename/location of the backup file but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am not using a recovery catalog.
Any help is appreciated.

If you restore the controlfile backup to the development server RMAN
will "read" the expected location of the backupsets from there.
In 8i you cannot use the CATALOG command so you have to copy all
the backupsets to the same path on the development server as on the
production server.
Once you have your init.ora and controlfiles in place (and created the
expected target directory structure for the database and redolog files),
you can use STARTUP MOUNT and thene RESTORE from RMAN.
I believe that you should be able to rename files in 8i RMAN as well.
If not, you'll have to stick to restoring to the same location.
The key thing is that the controlfile records the "location" of the RMAN backupsets
and the "location" where datafiles are to be restored to.

Hi Sybrand
So here's the deal:
1) 'backup validate database;' is run before RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in datafiles or archivelogs.
If the backup validation discovers corrupt blocks, then RMAN updates the V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view with rows describing the corruptions.
2)
a- 'restore database validate;' is run after RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in backupsets.
b- 'validate backupset <n>;' is also run after RMAN backup to check for any logical or physical corruption in backupsets. The difference being you have to run it for each individual backupset as opposed to the previous option (2a), which loops through all existing backupsets.
I believe for now only option 2b is available for use in my case.
Cheers.

RMAN backup restoration

It is a "clean" restore. I mean I have a cold backup and I did a restore.
In the meantime I found out why it gave me this "strange" error, or at least a work around.
I set the compatibility mode to 9.2.0 and tried the restore again.
commands used:
run{
set new name
restore database;
(control file was already restored with restore controlfile from 'controlfilebacku.rmn';)
After I opened the database with startup upgrade, I received ora-0600 when trying to recompile invalid objects. I searched the internet for the error (which was

RMAN backup restoration on diff OS

As you know, AIX and Solaris are two different type of operating systems. It's not possible to copy RMAN backups from one host (AIX) and restore it at the second host (Solaris)

RMAN Backup Restore from tape

Hello Gurus
We have lvl0 RMAN database backup restored from tape but due to some reasons we could not apply recovery on it. On checking the information in controlfile, it identified only the system file and no other file. So, we recreated the controlfile and decided to recover using backup controlfile option (until cancel or until change or until time). However, to my surprise, when I listed the checkpointchange# and checkpoint_time columns of v$datafile_header, I found the difference in timestamps ranging 24 hrs -- which menat we had to apply 24 hrs of archiving to bring all dbfs to a consistent state (before it allowed us to open the db) -- so far so good, it worked that way.
My question is that, while I trigger a lvl0 RMAN backup at say 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July (as I am directly pushing around 1 TB data to tapes) -- what is the consistency timestamp of this backup. In other words, is this backup available for a restore of 4PM 27th July? Or is it available only for a restore of 4PM 28th July and later ...?
Isn't it that RMAN works at block level and when I fire a backup it should give me all the dbf's of that timestamp..?
Appreciate your inputs/comments.

When taking a online backup with RMAN, the datafiles backup is always inconsistent because it needs the archived redo logs generated during the backup to be consistent: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro005.htm#sthref70.
A full online backup can only be used to restore the database to a point in time starting after backup end: if a backup starts at 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July you can use it to restore the database to a point in time after 28-JUL 4PM.

Refer this MOS doc *HowTo Restore RMAN Disk backups of RAC Database to Single Instance On Another Node [ID 415579.1]*
On the Single Instance ASM, you need to specify the diskgroup name for the parameters "control_files, db_create_file_dest"

RMAN Backup restore issue

Hi Guys,
I am running 2 node RAC 11G R2 on windows. I am taking the database backup by issuing the following command:
backup database format='d:\backup\DGtest\%U_DB' include current controlfile spfile plus archivelog ;
(My source sid is "ABC" and I want to restore it into "xyz")
After taking the above backup I have to restore but I am getting the following error while restoring:
I have created the spfile and copy to ASM instance.
I have restore the controlfile into ASM.
But during database restore I am facing the follwoing issues:
RMAN> restore database;

Any help would be appreciated.

Is your database open? I think it should only be mounted.

Rman offline restores.
