Rman to tape using netbackup doubts

Hi guys,
I have some doubts regarding backup with Rman to tape.
I´m using netbackup and already created a policy 'dwRman'
run{
allocate channel T1 type 'ORA_SBT_TAPE_1'
PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORACLE_POLICY=dwRman)';
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
DATABASE TAG 'DB_LEVEL0_WHOLE'
FORMAT '%d_%I_level0_%s_%p_%u.bkp'
PLUS ARCHIVELOG TAG 'ARCHIVEDLOGS'
FORMAT '%d_%I_arch_%s_%p_%u.bkp'
delete input;
RELEASE CHANNEL T1;
but when I run the script it generates the files on DISK
Is it necessary to set any of theese CONFIGURE commands ?
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/oradata/ware/RMAN/autobackup/cf%F';

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;

Prepare DR using NetBackup

Hi Everyone,
I need to prepare a DR site for one of our databases, we are using netbackup and RMAN for database backups.
I am well with RMAN but never used NetBackup. I will really appriciate if someone can give me some links / docs that I can refer for the same.
Thanks in Advanced

RMAN duplicate target using set until telling me it can not find data files

I have RMAN scripts that I use freqently to clone a database from DB (production) to another (non-prod). These work just fine. I use the set until so that I can tell it at what point I want the new DB to be created from the backups of the source.
I had a request to go back a few weeks and the backup files (I do compressed backups to disk) were on tape. I had my backup person restore my backup directory for the source DB as it looked on a certain day (May 28). I have an 8 day retention policy and so the backup files that were restored showed files all the way back to 5/20 ( includes the point I want to use in my set until clause).
However, whenever I try to execute the rman clone, it tells me for each datafile:
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
Like I said, I am able to do this for a current backup that is on disk. I moved the backup files to the source db server and it works fine. However, from these files restored from tape it errors.
Here is the RMAN script:
spool log to c:\temp\clone_CSPROD_CSPRSUM1.log;
#connect to catalog <catalog info>
# target is the source and auxiliary is destination
#connect target <put in source info here>
#connect auxiliary /
run {
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk format 'F:\backups\CSPROD\d1\CSPROD_DATA_%s';
allocate auxiliary channel d2 type disk format 'F:\backups\CSPROD\d2\CSPROD_DATA_%s';

Maybe making progress.
I got into RMAN and did a List backup command. In looking at the output, I see that it does have the 5/20 backup showing. Here is part of the output:

I then changed my rman script to use the *237046947* SCN number that says it is from 5/20. I them kicked off my rman script and got the following result.

What I am not sure is if the SCN I used in my set until sequence command was from 5/20, when I look at the backup pieces that it is reading to restore from, they appear to be from backup files taken from June.
(e.g channel d1: reading from backup piece F:\BACKUPS\CSPROD\D3\CSPROD_DATA_6148 -- this is a 6/16 backup file).
Also, as you can see it was not able to do a media recovery.
Thanks in advance for your help.

RMAN backups not using next available volume: uses next unlabeled volume

Greetings.
I've noticed that sometimes (haven't zeroed in on when yet) when RMAN backs up using OSB, the first tape in the library, an RMAN volume, is grabbed and backed up to.
There are about 10 other RMAN-labeled volumes right below that first one. But RMAN will take an unlabeled volume further down in the library, label it as an RMAN volume, and proceed to back up to it.
This is happening often enough where my library is filling up with partially used RMAN volumes.
Three jobs (that I can see so far) are cron jobs calling an RMAN script. I'm looking for the other jobs which, I think, are run via OEM.
Any thoughts?

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:

Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
======================================
My Machine Configuration:
Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 320m
Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
Thank you guys. You are the best

Syncing Logic and multitrack tape using smpte/mtc

Hi,
Has anyone managed to sync Logic to multitrack tape using smpte/mtc without major drift ? If you've tried this, let me know your experience.
Many thanks.

Never had a problem with wow and flutter - but I guess it depends on how good the tape machine is. I use a Studer A827, so it's not been an issue for me. I just use striped tape, usually at 15 ips, to record the basic tracks, and transfer a reference mix to PT and/or Logic, and transfer those files to Logic and carry on with overdubs, and only use the 24 track tapes again when it's time to mix. I'm not doing anything complex like sound to picture, or chasing the tape in the rest of the recording, so there may be issues lurking which I don't encounter.

OSB/RMAN to tape it's failed (hang)

We are trying to backup ODA RAC database to SL150 tape library, backup hangs with no errors. Oracle support was trying to solve the problem with no luck. any help please:
n summary:
OSB/RMAN to disk it's OK
OSB/RMAN to fake tape it's OK
OSB/filesystem to tape it's OK
OSB/RMAN to tape it's failed (hang)
we have checked permission devices, RMAN parameters all seems to be ok.

There's not enough information here to begin. Please supply full "obtool lsdev -lvg" output and also the full log files from the jobs.

FCP Crashing When Printing to Tape Using Audio Follows Video Setting

I'm trying to Print to Tape using the Audio Follows Video setting from FCP. I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck and a Mac Pro. I was able to Print to Tape successfully earlier today, and I have done it successfully many times before. Every time I try to Print to Tape with the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. Actually, every time I play audio from the timeline using the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. I have deduced that the problem must be with the Audio Follows Video setting, but I'm not sure what to do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Well, what version of FCP are you running?
Final Cut Studio 5
How is your media stored? Number of hard drives, how full are they, ect?
I have two hard drives. One is 250GB the other is 750GB. I have my applications on the 250GB drive. All of my media is on the 750GB drive. My computer is brand new, so I haven't even come close to filling the drives.
What is the format of the media you are trying to send out to the DSR?
I'm going Firewire out of the Mac Pro to the DSR11 to a Mini-DV tape.
Have you tried doing a crash record?
I would rather not do a crash record if at all possible. I know that is a back up option, but I also know that my system is capable of working properly.
I really appreciate you trying to help me out on this.

Is there a way in RMAN to move an already backed up file present in disk to tape?
The scenario is as follows:
RMAN backs up database to disk on week days initially. At a particular day, say during Saturdays, those backed up file (made on week days) in disk will be moved to tape (to clear disk space). I wish to know if RMAN has this capability to move the backed up file from disk to tape (FLASHBACK is not enabled in the database). This will help RMAN to restore the files from tape in case of restore/recovery. I don't want RMAN to take the backup on tape straight away.
Oracle Database Version : 10.2.0
OS : SunOS 5.10
I'd be grateful if you can provide me with suggestions.
Thanks,
...

RMAN will not move the already backed up files.
Instead you can use CATALOG START WITH option to move the files from disk to catalog.
Schedule this as a job then RMAN will move the backup files.

Erasing Tapes using RMAN

I am running the below RMAN Script to backup my Database.
run {
allocate channel LS type 'SBT_TAPE' format 'b_%u_%s_%p';
backup ( database include current controlfile );
backup ( archivelog all
delete input );
The backup is running fine.
Now I am looking @ erasing the tape before backups.
Can I do this using RMAN Script.
i.e.
Can my script be like
run {
allocate channel LS type 'SBT_TAPE' format 'b_%u_%s_%p';
send device type 'SBT_TAPE''SOME STRING TO TO TELL MY BACKUP SOFTWARE TO OVERWRITE MEDIA';
backup ( database include current controlfile );
backup ( archivelog all
delete input );
}

You are able to erase your tapes by issuing "delete obsolete;" command. I'm talking about Rman 9i and above where you have specified the retention for your backups. But before you can issue command delete, you should allocate channel for you backup madia management (TSM, Legato,...) with special keyword "for manintenance".
RMAN> connect catalog xxx/xxx@rman
RMAN> connect target
RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance type 'SBT_TAPE' parms='ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/app/oracle/tsm/config/tdpo_ORAX_backup.opt)';
RMAN> DELETE OBSOLETE;
RMAN> release channel;
RMAN> exit

RMAN Backup to tape using Oracle Secure Backup

I am trying to take 11g R2 (11.2.0.3) database backup using RMAN. I am using Oracle Secure Backup for configuring virtual tape library and virtual tape drive.
Whenever, I am running the RMAN backup script it simply hangs. While checking the backup job status from Oracle Secure Backup web interface, the job status are displaying 'pending resource availability'.
On, furthur investigating the job, the following error message are displayed,
" Dispatching job to run on oradb. Drive or volume on which mount attempted is unusable".
Library and Tape Creation:
mkdev -t library -o -S 4 -a oradb:/vlib -v vlib
mkdev -t tape -o -a ora11:/vt -v -l vlib -d 1 vt
Not able to fix this error. Need help

There is a VTL: http://mhvtl-linux-virtual-tape-library-community-forums.966029.n3.nabble.com/
really work well with OSB 10.3.0.3 64bit, the version of it, fully tested by me , is 1.2
The installation guide of it here:
mh virtual tape & library system.
Instructions assume reader is familiar with the kernel build process.
There are two sections of code to build.
- The kernel module
- The user-space daemons.
Kernel module mhvtl:
==================
1) Make sure the kernel-devel package to match your running kernel is installed.
e.g.
RedHat AS 4 & 5:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80
SLES 9 & 10:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
2) Extract the mhvtl source code.
# tar xvfz mhvtl-2012-04-04.tgz
3) Change directory into the kernel driver source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2/kernel/
# make
# make install
User space daemons:
===================
Pre-req for a running mhvtl
- sg3_utils (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html)
Pre-req to build/compile userspace:
- zlib-devel
* To build an RPM
===============
cp mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCE/
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE
rpmbuild -tb mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz
<wait for rpm build to complete>
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<cpu type>/mhvtl-1.2-z.<cpu type>.rpm
(The rpm install will create system group & accounts vtl)
- Note: For RedHat, replace 'packages' with 'redhat'
* To build from tar archive (Debian / Ubuntu):
============================================
apt-get install lsscsi
apt-get install sg3_utils
To limit damage that may occur by wayward daemons, I highly recommend creating
a group and user called 'vtl'
# /usr/sbin/groupadd --system vtl
# /usr/sbin/useradd --system -c "Vitrual Tape Library" -d /opt/vtl -g vtl -m vtl
Now build user space daemons:
From the parent directory where you extracted the source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2
Build the binaries
# make
Install the rc script into /etc/init.d/ and binaries to /usr/local/bin/
# make install
Start daemons:
/etc/init.d/mhvtl start
Test:
Note: Make sure the 'mtx' & 'lsscsi' utilities are installed
The virtual devices are attached to HBA #5 in this example.
e.g.
# lsscsi -g

ORA-19511 when backup with rman (using NetBackup Media Manager)

Hello forum
I added new database hosts to NetBackup, tried to test backup of the first instance on one host, below is what I get - Do you know cause and solution? Backup from NetBackup master server can be performed without problems. Below you will find the output from sbttest too.
Thanks Casi

Are you sure, you installed the proper media management software? Check it:
(1) cd to your $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
(2) Type sbttest test
The sbttest is a standalone program which test to see if the MML(Media
Management Layer) software is installed and can accept a data stream and return
an identical data stream.
sbttest will return 0 which indicates success or 1 which indicates an error has
occurred. An error means it's not an Oracle problem.

Restoring Incremental Backup using Netbackup

Hi,
Need your help. We have a backup of our Oracle 10g Database(one full backup and one incremental backup). The full backup (level0) is done by Netbackup and the incremental backup is done by local rman.
Now we want to restore the database. I have modified the script of Netbackup to restore the controlfile of incremental backup and allocate 2 channels for tape and disk. Our incremental backup resides in disk. Is the script we used below correct?
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE DISK;
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/rman/backup/incremental/ctl_PROD_c-86955024-20101221-
03';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE DISK;
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';
#SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 138730 thread 1;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
thanks,
Benjo

Hi benjo,
You cannot allocate two types of channels at the same time so you should try a three step approach.
(Every time create a new connection to the target.)
Restore controlfile
No need for:
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';exit
Restore database from tape.
remove from your second run block
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE DISK;
RECOVER DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;exit
Than create a recover command with disk channels
basicly remove the tape channel and restore commands from your second run block and add
alter database open resetlogs;Regards,
Tycho
