RMAN to Disk (shared mounted file system) then secure backup to Tape

Hi
This is a little away from the norm and I am new to Oracle secure Backup.
We have several databases on physically separate servers, all backup to a central disk (a ZFS shared file-system).
We have a media server also with the same mounted file-system so it can see all of the RMAN backups there.
Secure backup is installed on the media server and is configured as such.
The question I have is I need to backup the file system to tape where all the RMAN backups live, I have configured the data set but I get file permission errors for each of the RMAN backup files in the directory.
I have tried to change these permissions but to no avail (assuming it is just a read write access change that is needed - but this may be a problem in the long run). What is the general process for backup of already created RMAN backups sat in a shared area? I know its not the norm to do to disk then to tape backups but can this be done? I would have installed Secure backup client on each server and managed the whole backup through secure backup but this is not possible I must do the to tape from the file system, any advise and guidance on this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Vicky

You can easily accomplish a very streamlined D2D2T strategy! RMAN backup to disk...then backup that disk to tape via RMAN and OSB. Upon restore, RMAN will restore from best media disk or tape based on where files are located.

Linux Mint 17, migrated from Win7: Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I get this error message (The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Generic Folder' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) popping up on many, though not all of my incoming filters. I recently migrated from a Windows 7 installation to a Linux Mint 17 system.

I did give it time to run through everything when I initially migrated, and it frequently will sit open for 3 to 4 hours while I'm working on other projects.
The 'Generic Folder' represents sorting folders in my main mail account in Thunderbird. For example, my mail which is listed to filter into my 'Amazon' folder is sorted there with no problem, while any mail designated to be filtered into my 'Games' folder prompts the above error massage.

Backup RAC with RMAN..(on diff file system)..URGENT..HELP NEEDED

hello all,
I have not work a lot on SAN storages. One of my client has implementated 9i RAC. Now he wants to Add two more disk in SAN storage (Implemented RAID). So sun engineers will do this but before this i have to take full database backup(80GB database) throught RMAN. The problem or confussion from my side is that the database is on Sun SAN storage and i have to put the Full database backup taken by RMAN on local hard disk on the node (node 1 of rac). Is the possible since the SAN storage is RAW file system (as i guess) and i am putting the backup on local system.
Please help me out ...i have do this in couple of days..
Please tell me prosedure too to how to change the path of backup in RMAN if above is possible..
Its urgent
Thanks and Regards!!

You best bet is to get your san folks to give you some disk space for a mount point on the last node in the cluster. Once they assign the lun (not raw) have your SAs make it a mounted file system such as /dbbackup.
Run all of your rman backups on your last node on the cluster. The only draw back is, if that node dies, then you will not be able to run backups. but your backups would be safe as they are on the san.
Only way to have a mounted file system on all nodes in your cluser is to have some sort of third party file system cluster ware .. such as veritas or OCFS2 - then all nodes could see it.
I feel the first node in the cluster (the primary node) is the most busy out of the rest .. so thats why the suggestion of running rman on the last node in the cluster.

Shared Application File System.

Which top does oracle use ?
why is the shared IAS Home have a lower version of than the CONFIG_TOP
why does not the one which is not used gets deleted?

Want to be able to mount file systems in my computers at home

Hi,
I have 2 apple computers , a mac pro and an ibook and I want to be able to mount the file system from one to the other to transfer files. What software do I need to do this?
I suppose I could use an FTP server just to transfer files is there one for free?
Or if I actually want to mount the file system , what do I need?
thanks
-Malena

As sig said, firewire is a really good way to do this. It is one of the easiest and fastest and most painless ways to do this.
If it is not so convenient for you to tether up one computer to the other via firewire, if the computers are on the same home network, enable personal file sharing (Sys Prefs > Sharing > Services) in at least one of them. Then you should see it on the other computer when you do ⇧⌘k in the Finder. Double-click on it and its icon should mount on your desktop. Open it, then drag and drop the files. If on the same home network and you enable ftp or remote login (Sys Prefs > Sharing > Services again), you can do it from the command line, no extra software required.
If they are not on the same network, e.g., one is at work and the other is at home, this can still be done fairly easily and fairly painlessly in a hack-proof manner by tunneling your file sharing port through secure shell. If you want to do it that way, that's a bit more involved to initially set up, but really not difficult to do. Post back if you want help doing that.

Zfs destroy DOES NOT CHECK NFS mount file-systems

I asked this question twitter once and the answer was a good one, but I did some checking today and was surprised!!
# zfs destroy mypool/home/andrew
The above command will destroy this file-system no questioned asked but if the file-system is mounted you will get back the Device busy and if you have snapshot then they will be protected as well
server# zfs destroy mypool/home/andrew
cannot unmount 'tank/home/andrew
server# zfs destroy dpool/staff/margaret
cannot destroy 'dpool/staff/margaret': filesystem has children
use '-r' to destroy the following datasets:
dpool/staff/margaret@Wed18
dpool/staff/margaret@Wed22
BUT?
server# zfs destroy dpool/staff/margaret@Wed18
server# zfs destroy dpool/staff/margaret@Wed22
NFSclient# cd /home/margaret
NFSlient# ls -l
drwx------+ 2 margaret staff 2 Aug 29 17:06 Mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 margaret staff 4 Aug 29 17:06 mail -> Mail
drwx--x--x+ 2 margaret staff 2 Aug 29 17:06 public_www
server# zfs destroy dpool/staff/margaret
server#
GONE!!!
I will file a bug report to see what Oracle say!
Comments?
I think there should be a hold/protect of file-systems
# zfs hold dpool/staff/margaret
Andrew

The CR is already filed:
6947584 zfs destroy should be recoverable or prevented
The zfs.1m man page, which covers the mounted case and the ZFS admin guide are pretty clear
about the current zfs destroy behavior.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1448/gamnq.html#gammq
Caution - No confirmation prompt appears with the destroy subcommand. Use it with extreme caution.
zfs destroy [-rRf] filesystem|volume
Destroys the given dataset. By default, the command
unshares any file systems that are currently shared,
unmounts any file systems that are currently mounted,
and refuses to destroy a dataset that has active depen-
dents (children or clones).
I'm sorry that you were surprised.
Accidents happen too, like destroying the wrong file system, so always have good backups.
Thanks, Cindy

Shared and non-shared application file system in R12

Hi,
We have a oracle apps 11.5.10.2 on mutli node architecture with node 1 hosting DB,CCM and admin while node 2 hosting Form and web servers on Windows 2003.
Some of our Products are in Shared status(Installation) like AD,AU etc and I found that R12 currently does not support the shared file system infrastructure on application tier server nodes running on Windows platforms
Metalink note:384248.1
what will be the impact of this if we plan for R12 upgrade?
Thanks!
Shekhar

Hi Shekar,

I'm slightly confused by your question. Shared application tier file system isn't supported on Windows platforms in 11i, either. From Note 233428.1: 
<blockquote>
The shared file system infrastructure is not supported on application tier server nodes running Windows platforms or using Oracle9iAS releases earlier than 1.0.2.2.2. Application tier nodes must be running on the same operating system to implement a shared file system.
</blockquote>

Are you perhaps referring to the licensing status of your Applications products (i.e. either Installed, Shared, or Not Installed) from the Installed Products report in OAM? If yes, then this should have no impact on your upgrade to R12...those statuses should remain the same when you upgrade. "Shared" in this case relates only to the licensing status of the product, implying that the product is not explicitly licensed (i.e. Installed status), but its functionality is required for used with other Installed products.

John P.

RMAN copies to ASM and file system

I am on 11g Rel 1 trying to do an RMAN backup with 2 copies of my backup. One copy should go to ASM storage and the other should go to a regular file system.
My RMAN script is:
run {
configure default device type to disk;
set backup copies 2;
configure device type disk parallelism 16 backup type to compressed backupset;
configure channel device type disk format = '+ASMDG2/backups/%d_%T_%U_dump0.bck, /orabackups/oracle/%d_%T_%U_dump0_offload.bck' MAXPIECESIZE 60G;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
backup incremental level=0 database plus archivelog;
delete noprompt obsolete redundancy 1;
exit;
When the backup runs I get:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command ....etc.
ORA-15124: ASM file name '+ASMDG2/backups/%d_%T_%U_dump0.bck, /orabackups/oracle/%d_%T_%U_dump0_offload.bck' containd invalid alias name...
What is the correct syntax to get the copies to be able to go to ASM disk and regular disk locations?

OK, I see that in the documentation this time. I'll try that for tonights backup and let you know how it works. I'm a bit concerned still because it looks like it wrote fine to the +ASMDG2 location. I would have thought the whole backup would fail but I guess it was able to read the first path...

Limitations: Mounting File systems

Hi,
We have a requirement to communicate 30 odd application system through XI.
Mostly they are File to SAP or viceversa scenario.
Instead of using FTP Transport protocol, we are planning to use NFS as FTP goes heavy on performance.
Is there any limitation on mounting maximun file systems on XI(on unix) server.
Also suggest the best practice(NFS or FTP) for these kind of scenarios where volume of data and number of interfaces are very high.
Best Regards,
Satish

..."I understand the use of /etc/fstab is now deprecated."...
This is true - but they have been saying that since at least 10.3. Well, "/private/etc/fstab" still working fine in 10.5.1 so I don't imagine there will be a problem continuing to use it for the time being.
In Leopard, it looks like the information is automatically imported into "DirectoryService" under "/mounts" so it might also be possible to configure the mountpoints from there...

Cannot mount file system

Hi,
I have had great advice on this board, and thought maybe someone could help me out. I am following the instructions on installing Enterprise Linux on VMServer. I have just about completed the install, but have ran into the following error message at this step of the instructions:
Format the file system. Before proceeding with formatting and mounting the file system, verify that O2CB is online on both nodes; O2CB heartbeat is currently inactive because the file system is not mounted.
# /etc/init.d/o2cb status

Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
Checking O2CB cluster ocfs2: Online
Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active
You are only required to format the file system on one node. As the root user on rac1, execute
# ocfs2console
1. OCFS2 Console: Select Tasks, Format.
2. Format:
* Available devices: /dev/sdb1
* Volume label: oracle
* Cluster size: Auto
* Number of node slots: 4
* Block size: Auto
3. OCFS2 Console: CTRL-Q to quit.
Mount the file system. To mount the file system, execute the command below on both nodes.
# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs
On rac1, the command to mount the file system works great, no errors. But on rac2, I get the following error:
[root@rac2 ~]# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs
ocfs2_hb_ctl: Bad magic number in superblock while reading uuid
mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operations not

Does anyone have an idea, I have followed the instructions to the letter, and this is the first error that has me stopped.
Thanks,
Zach

Hello -
I installeded and configured ocfs2 on one of my nodes in my Linux cluster. However, when I run this command on the first node (2 nodes in my cluster):
/etc/init.d/o2cb status
I see the following heartbeat error:
Driver for "configfs": Loaded
Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
Driver for "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted

Heartbeat dead threshold = 31
Network idle timeout: 30000
Network keepalive delay: 2000
Network reconnect delay: 2000
Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active
Any ideas why I would see heartbeat as inactive? Also when I try to make the cluster filesystem online on my other node, I get this error:
Starting O2CB cluster prycluster: Failed
Cluster prycluster created
Node jtcperfloradb01 added
o2cb_ctl: Internal logic failure while adding node jtcperfloradb02

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LONG_RAW conversion (using OLE) to file system then import into BLOB column

To whom it may concern (I will call "hero" or "savior" if you can solve this for me),
I posted this message an another thread; but then later thought it would be better in its own thread.
I was wondering how to extract the Adobe Acrobat Reader files (PDF) from OLE component stored in a LONG_RAW database column. I was able to successfully extract the MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Powerpoint, and MS-Project to the operating system. I was not able to extract the Adobe PDF files. The PDF files do not return an error message nor do they write out to the file system?
Leonid previous posted some suggestions on how to convert the data. Can anyone expand on tasks #4 and #5 (see below)?
You can use this library to do the following task:
1. Get the type of an object stored inside OLE Item. Get information about the OLE server.
GetCLSID, GetProgID, IsIDispatchSupported
2. Get information about the object
IsLinked, GetSourceDisplayName
3. Get information from the object in formats supported by its IDataObject interface.
EnumFormatEtc, RegClipFormat, GetData
I suppose it's the best way to extract pictures!
4. Save the object into an external file throu IPersistFile interface. It works only if IPersistFile::Save method is implemented by the OLE server. Unfortunately, some OLE servers don't support this method even don't return a correct error code.
SaveToFile
Works with: MS Word, MS Excel
Not works with: Adobe Acrobat (I'm not sure. Maybe I've done something wrong), MS Photo Editor
5. Extract the 'Contents' stream from a structured storage /a compound document/.
ExtractToFile
It isn't a documented way, but it can be used to extract PDF files.
I have tried the following two scenarios for the PDF extraction:
-- First Attempt
ret:=OLEXTRA.SaveToFile( application, v_FILENAME_WO_EXT || '.pdf' );
if ret <> 0 then
show_message( 'SaveToFile Error code='||ret );
end if;
-- application does not return an error message
-- application does not save the PDF file to the operating system.
-- Second Attempt
ret:=OLEXTRA.ExtractToFile( application, 'stg.pdf', 'fname.pdf' );
if ret <> 0 then
show_message( 'ExtractToFile Error code='||ret );
end if;
-- application does not return an error message.
-- application does not save fname.pdf to the operating system
-- application saves the stg.pdf to file system, but cannot open in Adobe
Thanks in advance for the help,
Mike

There is no way from PL/SQL in Forms - you'll have to call out to C or Java Code to do it.
You can link in Pro*C or OCI code into forms as a user exit in which case it can share the forms connection but that's not for the faint hearted.
Using Java - called from the Java Importer feature in 6i+ you'll end up creating a separate connection.
Frankly if you can do it in a generic enough way through a VB executable stick with that.
Forms can get images in an out of a long raw using read_image_file and write_image_file but that does not extend to any binary file - just images.

Won't mount, file system not recognised

I'm trying to download firmware from Netgear's website but when I try to mount the files they say the file system is not recognised.
I'm trying to get hold of Netgear as well but I thought someone here might have some suggestions too while I wait for a response from Netgear.
The two files I've tried so far are:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/D102713.asp
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/dg834v2_1022.zip
http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/D103044.asp
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/dg8343_0132.zip

My mistake. The file I was trying to mount isn't intended to be mounted. You're actually meant to upload this .img file directly to the modem.
