Rman Recovery using backup created using dbconsole

Thanks for taking my questions. First, I see there is another person asking about rman recovery but I am hoping mine is not identical.
BACKGROUND
Archiving and flashback is on.
Database is 11g.
Full on-line database backup is done using dbconsole (oem) and includes control, spfile and archive logs.
RECOVERY
I am testing my recovery to a new serve.
I installed oracle
Restored a backupset from one backup to the new servers flashbackup area.
Recovered the spfile ok
Recovered the control file ok
Found last seq number ok
Restore database ok
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SEQUENCE - NOT OK
Error=DATAFILE 1 MUST BE RESTORED FROM BACKUP OLDER THAN SCN
QUESTIONS
Where did I go wrong?
Could it be my rman backup didn't backup all necessary archive logs?
How do I fix this and can I fix it using dbconsole?
Also, is it still possible to fix the test server without loading any new files?
Thanks!

Hello,
To answer your questions, it looks like your backup is out of sync with SCN for datafiles with your Oracle 11g database.
What you need to do is first check the low SCN and current SCN for your database to that in your RMAN backup files.
You can check backups in RMAN command line with
RMAN> list backup;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

Then open another prompt window and SQL*PLUS session as sysdba privileged account:
SQL> select name, current_scn from v$database;

ORCL 4089528
You need to make sure that you are trying to restore database with RMAN with a backup for the SCN numbers that are older than the current database SCN in database or Oracle will complain.
Enterprise Manager dbconsole will work but nothing beats the power of a command line.
Use the automated repair options for the Oracle 11g Database Repair advisors.
1. Connect to RMAN
rman target=/
RMAN> list failure;
RMAN> repair failure preview;
RMAN> repair failure;
For more details, Arup Nanda has a good overview of RMAN with Oracle 11g:

I wanted to create two partitions on my iMac w/ Lion using a Recovery USB i created using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant but I keep getting Partition failed message saying "couldn't unmount disk"

I have this recently purchased iMac that comes with a Lion but I wanted to have two partitions on the hard disk. I know that the Recovery HD partition is on the same hard disk so I downloaded the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant and created a Recovery disk using a USB. I boot up the system using the USB Recovery disk and run Disk Utility to create 2 Partitions on the hard disk but I get a Failed partition message saying "couldn't unmount disk". What could be the problem here?

Thanks for your continued help Tony. Do you mean normal boot into the regular operating system setting i.e. no keys held down in bootup? I think I have tried this, with the same result.
Yes, that's what I meant. If that doesn't work, verify that you have a G.U.I.D. partition scheme (you probably do):

If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use?

Hello,
I have a database 11.1.0.7 with 8TB. Block change tracking is enabled.
At the weekend I take level 0 backup and during the week level 1 cumulative.
For some weeks the level 0 backup is failing, so I only have level 1 cumulative backups taken every week day with a 4 weeks old level 0 backup.
If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
I ask this because grid crontrol tells me that the recent level 1 backups input size is smaller than last week level 1 backups and in between I dont have any level 0 sucessfull backups. Shouldn't the input size of level 1 cumulative increase until the next level 0 backup ?
The grid reports:

From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmvalid.htm
Validating Backups Before Restoring Them
You can run RESTORE ... VALIDATE to test whether RMAN can restore a specific file or set of files from a backup. RMAN chooses which backups to use.
The database must be mounted or open for this command. You do not have to take datafiles offline when validating the restore of datafiles, because validation of backups of the datafiles only reads the backups and does not affect the production datafiles.
When validating files on disk or tape, RMAN reads all blocks in the backup piece or image copy. RMAN also validates offsite backups. The validation is identical to a real restore operation except that RMAN does not write output files.
You can monitor what RESTORE VALIDATE does.
Make precautions, so you do not damage the production DB!!!

Oracle 9i TEMP tablespace backup problem using RMAN!

Oracle8/8i whole backup is ok for our backup software(using RMAN without RC database), but for Oracle 9i, I get following error messages when backing up temp tablespace.
1. RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
2. RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TEMP"
I check some views of Oracle9i, and know some changes happen for temp tablespace in 9i, but how to deal with this problem. Any idea, please!

In 9i RMAN does not restore temporary datafiles. Instead, you should create them after your restore. I believe that Oracle is going to make a change to this in the next release of 9i and have RMAN create the temporary files. You can view the temporary datafiles @ v$tempfile.
I believe RMAN doesn't restore temporary files because they are locally managed and not in the control files. RMAN reads the controlfile of the target database to obtain info about backups, datafiles, etc.
Hope this helps.

Generate RMAN backup Script using unix shell script

Hello,
Could somebody give me a unix shell script that would generate RMAN script based on some user defined parameters in a config file.
e.g.
rman.conf
CHANNELS=4
USE_CATALOG=Y
DEVICE='sbt_tabe'
etc.,
many thanks,
kam

You can actually encapsulate the RMAN commands inside the shell script.
However if you really want to create a seperate RMAN script file, you can use the unix shell's "echo" command to write set variables to a file.
Thus, for example,
echo "rman target / catalog rman/rmanpassword@crcat" > RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup database plus archivelog" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup archivelog all" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
creates RMAN_Script.rmn with 3 commands.

Recovery using backup control file

Hello friends,
I have a scenario where i am unable to recover by database by using backup control file option can u pls give ur expert advice.
1) Database is working in ARCHIVE MODE.
2) One of my file was READ ONLY when i take my closed backup. At this time
v$log file output is :
group# thread# sequence# bytes member arc status first_change#
1 1 8 8192 2 yes inactive 4697463
2 1 9 8192 2 yes active 4717493
3 1 10 8192 2 no current 4717738
3) After 2-3 log switches i have made it READ WRITE.
4) After making it READ WRITE i have taken controlfile backup by using
ALTER SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'E:\ORACLE\CONTROL01.CTL';.
5) Again i have make some log switches.
6) Shutdown my database using SHUTDOWN option.
7) Copy my SYSTEM,UNDO,USER,INDEX datafiles from my backup (taken at
step 2) and CONTROL file (taken at step 4).
8) I have not copied my old redo log files so those are new.
9) I mount database & then use this command to recover database :
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
10) My recovery process starts applying archived log files and applied upto
sequence no 9. When it starts applying last one 10 which is online redo log
and not yet archived my recovery process fails by giving this error:
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log 'd:\oracle\oradata\practice\archive\1_10.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
11) I try to open database using :
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
it gives following warning:
Error at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: datafile 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PRACTICE\SYSTEM01.DBF'
Please guide me why it is so ?
Whether in BACKUP CONTROL FILE CASES system didn't recognise ONLINE REDO LOG FILES or it is anything else.
Regards
Sethi

Hi,
>>I am not using RMAN. I am taking user managed backups. Moreover i have tried what u said that make checkpoints also but again i came to the same result when it try to apply last archived log which was current redo log when database was started to shutdown it says unable to find the specified file & then when i open database using resetlogs it says system file needs media recovery.
it show error because you are using wrong approach of Recovery.
Alter database open Resetlog command is used only in incomplete recovery.
but your are giving
Recover database command,it means ur performing full recovery (means you have apply online redo logfile.) and after applying it you should open the database with Alter database Open command.
No need to give resetlog option.
Again Restore all backup;
Issue Recover database;
and open the database with
Alter database open;
Thanks

Synchronous multimaster replication Backup strategy using RMAN

Hi all,
I am using synchronous multimaster replication. my question is backup strategy has to perofirm in all the master site or only in any of 1 mastersite? what all problems will encounter in RMAn backup in my scenario please help me out with your suggestion
nagaraj.K
[email protected]

You ask: "I want to configure backup strategy using RMAN. any one can help me that"
And the answer is clearly no we can not.
An RMAN backup strategy depends on your SLA (Service Level Agreement) with your customers that you didn't post. What is your down-time window? What is your skill set?
You ask: "How to configure for RMAN Incremental backup?"
Read the docs at http://tahiti.oracle.com for your version (which you didn't mention).
You ask: "What will be backup space and there size ?"
We have no idea. Are you going to create an image copy or a backup set? Read the docs and learn the difference. Are you going to turn on compression? Are you going to back up only changed blocks? We don't know.
You ask: "how to manage growing online archiving files?"
Again we can't help you without knowing your SLA. How many MG/GB are they? What period of time do you need to retain them to meet your SLA? When you figure this out back up to tape those you don't need to keep on the server.
You ask: "how to manage growing data and there disk space?"
This is one we can answer: BUY MORE DISK! That was easy.
You ask: "How we can give good performance our CPU and memory?"
Do you really expect that we can with zero knowledge of your environment, your version, your application, etc. distill into a few short paragraphs the collective wisdom of Cary Millsap, Jonathan Lewis, and the rest of the Oak Table Network membership?
Of course we can not. So what you need to do is buy Cary's book, Jonathan's book, and take their classes.
You ask: "we need keep all archive log in backup files or we need to remove old archive files?"
Remove the old ones after being absolutely sure you have a good backup.
You ask: "where we can take backup tape drive,SAN,disk removable hard disk? which one is better?"
No one solution is better than the other. They are all adequate.

Recovery using backup controlfile

hai,
can any one explain me on what is the difference between recovering database as,
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;and
recover database until cancel;regards
ashik

Hi,
>>Note that you should only use a backup controlfile that was created via 'alter database backup controlfile to /path/to/your/controlfile_backup;'
Not exactly... we can use a control file that was made by a cold backup in order to recover a database.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

How incremental backup is used in recovery

Hi,
how incremental backup is used in recovery let's say i took full backup on sunday then monday tuesday, wednesday took incremental backup. now on wednesday DB crash. so how incremental backup will use in recovery as i understand DB will restore from full backup then archive and increment backup will apply for recovery?
please correct me if i am wrong.

1) Backup FULL RMAN Level 0 - Sunday
2) Backup FULL RMAN LEVEL 1 (incremental) - other days
3) Backup Archives
Restore Level0 + Restore Level1 + Apliying Archives and recover database;

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

Hi,
we have 11.5.10.2 instance
Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

Hi,
This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.

RMAN backup testing using networker and NMO

I want to do some RMAN backup testing using networker 7.5 and NMO 5.0. I am doing these testing on VMware. I am not sure whether I need to buy some tape drive for my home PC to do backup testing or I can mimic hard drive as tape drive in VMWARE.
Do you have any idea? any suggestion please?
Thanks..

I think this is not a RMAN/Oracle issue, as soon as you configure networker MML it's up to networker to define the real backup destination behind. Maybe networker has also a 'fake' tape destination,but I don't know this. There's a networker forum:
