RMAN with Netbackup - ALL Tape backups expired
Hello,
I am currently experiencing some issues between Netbackup and RMAN.
A bounce of the Netbackup server seems to have marked all our tape backups managed by RMAN as 'Expired'. This means RMAN can no longer locate any of the tape backups.
We have checked the rentention periods and the physical backups on the tapes and they seem to be ok. Therefore it would suggest a link problem between Netbackup and RMAN. We have tried bouncing the Netbackup servers again but this has not resolved the situation.
However sometimes the tape backups become available and but then become expired again.
I have also tried backing up to Tape since the bounce and the backup is successful, however 24 hours later it becomes expired despite Retention policy set to 4 weeks on both RMAN and Netbackup.
Please help!
Thank you
Hey;
I tried the delete obsolete; command initially. Admittedly, I didn't report that - so here's the output:
RMAN> delete obsolete;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 3 days
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=137 devtype=DISK
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_2
channel ORA_DISK_2: sid=132 devtype=DISK
Deleting the following obsolete backups and copies:

RMAN-03002: failure of delete command at 07/24/2010 21:36:58
RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type)
As for the changing default device type: someone had mentioned that the default device type was disk so I changed it to tape, tried the command, failed, then switched it back.
Just to reiterate: I don't have a tape drive on this box; never did. I'm not sure how two tape backups could have gotten there in the first place.
The oracle version is:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
and the OS version is:
$ uname -r; cat /etc/redhat-release
2.6.18-128.el5xen
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
If push comes to shove, I can leave those two backups. There were a rather large number of them that I did successfully make go away. It just seems odd that I can't make these guys go away.
Thanks for the help; I appreciate it.

RMAN restore from monthly tape backup
hello!
i have one more question regarding rman and tape backups: we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database, so all the information is in the control files. but for revision we need to save one full backup per month. in addition to the databases we need files from different servers etc. on this tape-backups. so we decided to keep one tape set per month in a safe place -> is it possible to restore a rman backup from this tapes, e.g. 3 years afterwards (on a different machine)? thanks.
bye,
christianHi christian,
Can you give more info?
As I understand it you do not want to use a recovery catalog ("we don't want to store the rman recovery information in a separate database").
But if you store the rman backup info in the controlfile only you will limit the amount of rman information to your init parameter control_file_record_keep_time.
Do you make rman backups to tape directly using a MML or do you make rman backups to disk which than get copied to tape (OS backup)?

Running rman with virtual tape speed too low(500KB/s approx)
Hey guys, I run rman with mhvtl. but the backup speed is too low(500kB/s).
the mhvtl debugging prints indicate that the block size is 64kB and the scsi command is running synchronous.
does any one know how to speed up this backup operation?<smiley image='anim_crazy.gif'/>

anything you don't need at startup.
If you disable systemd service from startup, you will lose some kind of functionality, and you should try to figure out yourself whether you need that functionality of not.
If you use pulseaudio (I assume you do, since it looks like you're using gnome), you can safely disable alsa-restore.service and alsa-store.service, as pulseaudio will restore audio levels by itself.
I've masked systemd-vconsole-setup.service myself (disabling isn't enought), since I rarely use virtual console on ttys. I don't have correct keymap on ttys but that's not a big deal for me.
I don't think you need all those @backlight services either. I've personally masked all but one on my system.
e4rat will most likely reduce your start up time greatly, although it's a bit of a hassle to set up.
systemd-readahead might also help, but you should test it for yourself.
I'm also thinking you could probably optimize your initramfs a bit, as 11s is quite long for loading kernel. At least make sure you have 'autodetect' hook enabled in mkinitcpio.conf.
Also you can use lz4hc for compressing initramfs (COMPRESSION="lz4" and COMPRESSION_OPTIONS="-9" in mkinitcpio.conf), which should be faster on decompression than other algorithms.
There are some more tips in arch wiki, if you didn't check it out already -
Removing disk backups after implementing Veritas tape backups
I was using RMAN with a catalog to backup to disk. Now we implemented RMAN backups using Veritas tape backup using the same catalog and I want to remove the old disk backups.
When I "crosscheck backup" and "crosscheck archivelog all" then "delete obsolete" it errored with the following:
==================================================================

I assume it is seeing one of the tape backups and wants to detete it.
How can I clearout these unnecessary disk backup sets without causing any problems?
Thank You,
.....KevinI found the solution:
RMAN> crosscheck backup;
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
RMAN> delete obsolete device type disk;
-- Assuming redundency was 1 only one set is left in the disk directory...
RMAN> list backup;
-- Find the backup set key which lists the DISK backups.
-- List all the BSKeys
RMAN> delete backupset key1, key2, ..., keyn;
-- The files are gone... -
RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN
Oracle 11.2.0.2 SE-One
Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
Weekly refresh of a test db from prod, using rman DUPLICATE DATABASE, failed with “RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN”
Background Summary:
Weekly inc 0 backup of production starts on Sunday at 0100, normally completes around 1050. Includes backups of archivelogs
Another backup of just archivelogs runs on Sunday at 1200, normally completes NLT 1201.
On the test server, the refresh job starts on Sunday at 1325. In the past this script used a set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\"; -- hard-coded for ‘today at 11:55’.
For a variety of reasons I decided to replace this semi-hard coding of the UNTIL with a value determined by querying the rman catalog, getting the completion time of the inc 0 backup. This tested out just fine in my vbox lab, even when I deliberately drove some updates and log switches during the period the backup was running. But the first time to go live I got the above reported error.
Details:
The key part of the inc 0 backup is this (run from a shell script)
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";

backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
The archivelog-only backup (runs at noon) looks like this:
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";
show all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
And the original refresh looked like this:
>> a step to ftp the backups from the prod server to the test server, and some other housekeeping <<, then
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
So, my mod to the refresh was
bkup_point=`sqlplus -s rman/***@rmcat <<EOF1
set echo off verify off feedback off head off pages 0 trimsp on
select to_char(max(completion_time),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
from rc_backup_set_details
where db_name='DBPROD'
and backup_type='D'
and incremental_level=0
exit
EOF1`
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('${bkup_point}','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
Now the fun begins.
First, an echo in the refresh script confirmed the ‘bkup_point’:
=======================================================

Internally, rman reset the ‘until’ as follows:

Notice the slight difference in time between what is reported in the LIST BACKUP and what was reported by my query to the catalog.
Continuing with the backup list, the second archivelog backup in the script generated six backupsets. The fifth set showed:

Notice the availability of the archivelogs including the referenced scn.
Investigation of the ftp portion of the refresh script confirmed that all backup pieces were copied from the prod server.
So what am I overlooking? Having reverted back to the original script to get the refresh completed,HemantKChitale wrote:
So, technically, you only need the database and archivelogs backed up by the database script and not the noon run of the archivelog backup.

sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
Yet, why does backupset 5 of the noon archivelog backup show archivelogs from 10:30 to 10:40 if they had been deleted by the database backup script which has a delete input ? It is as if the database backup script did NOT delete the archivelogs and the noon run was the one to backup the archivelogs (again ?)
No, that is from the morning full backup. Note the 'Completion Time" of 25-Aug-2013 10:54:53
However, the error message seems to point to a datafile. Why would reverting the recovery point to 11:55 make a difference, I wonder.
As do I.
Also puzzling to me are the times associated with the completion of the backups. I don't recall ever having to scrutinize a backup listing this closely so I'm sure it's just a matter of filling in some gaps in my understanding, but I noticed this. The backup report (list backup;) shows this for the inc 0 backup:

I hope this posts in a readable, understandable manner. I really struggeled with the 'enhanced editor', which I normally use. When I pasted in blocks from the rman report, it kept trying to make some sort of table structure out of it .... guess I'll have to follow that up with a question in the Community forum .... -
Persistent setting for rman in tape backup
Hi,
When your are going to take tape backup using RMAN utility, how can u control persistent settings with RMAN(show all). I meant how to set retention policy for datafile,controfile backup and archivelog as well.
And if i choose to take incremental backup how these things are changed?? Please help me on these issue as i have some confusion with this.
Regards,Hi,
Can you please read following link: http://oit.scps.nyu.edu/~pallerm/11g/les_04_config_bu.pdf

Spfile restore from RMAN Tape backup to different server
Hi All,
First of all let me thank you to the forum from which I keep updating my knowledge on oracle.
I am having issues when trying to restore spfile from controlfile autobackup to different server. Problem and other details are below:
Target version : 10.2.0.2
Netbackup : 6.5.6
Taken the tape backup through rman on server ABC and trying to restore the spfile from controlfile autobackup to server XYZ. Tape backup has been taken today morning and trying restore now.
Both servers ABC and XYX have been added (as clients) to netbackup policy.
Below is the syntax I used for restoring spfile and getting error as mentioned.

Not sure where I am doing wrong. The same can be restored onto same host (I.E ABC) without any issues .
Request your help and guidance.
Thanks,
SSSI don't know whether you can restore to a different server. The easier way should be
RMAN> restore spfile to pfile 'YOUR_PFILE_NAME' from autobackup;
then copy this to the new host.
Check this link
restore spfile to another host
Hope this helps -

Hi everyone,
we have to restore a table from 1 week previous backup using RMAN.
Could you show me how to restore a table using RMAN with previous full backup.
please Help me out.
Thanks
Info > oracle 10g, OS: AIX5LHi,
first of all you must have all the archivelogs since you want to recover your table from the previous backups.
anyways if you want to recover your table then you need to perform incomplete recovery to the point where you loss the table for that you need to restore and recover your database.you likely to loose all the transcation which occurs to the point where you you loose your table.
thanks.. -

Cloning DB on a different server from RMAN Tape backup
RDBMS version : 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
Media Management Layer : Netbackup v7
I have done only backups to Tape. I have never done restore,recovery from Tape.
We have a production DB named NEHPROD running on server qualmh214. Every Monday morning an RMAN Full backup for NEHPROD is taken to Tape.
Production server : qualmh214 DB Name:NEHPROD
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman,NB_ORA_SERV=qualmh238,NB_ORA_SCHED=Daily';
backup database FORMAT 'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' tag='NEHPROD_full';
}I need to create a Test DB in a different server (qualmh199) by restoring directly from NEHPROD's Full backup in tape .
From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?You have to allocate channels to tape & need to mention NB parameters as example below.
in RMAN script
ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64';
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=<server.com>, NB_ORA_CLIENT=<target.server>';
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?If the libraries are installed and you able to perform, you can go for either duplicate database or simple RMAN restore. You can mention other DB names also
Ex: duplicate target database to 'test';
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?You can mention TAG's if you are using RMAN restore. -
Hello,
I am trying to configure my database to use a tape backup device. I have Veritas Backup Exec running a Dell tape backup, when trying to test from Enterprise Manager I get the following error:

I'm guessing I missed some kind of configuration step somewhere, but I am unsure what. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

JordanI would say OSB is really good product and performance wise also it is great. Though they haven't launched OSB for all of the platforms yet like AIX, 64bit Linux but all these are suppose to come by the end of Sep. I have been participated in beta testing of this product, it was great and now we are waiting for AIX and 64-bit linux releases so that we can start using them as primary backup tool.
It can take the file system backup too without any problem.

Backup archivelog all and backup archivelog in rman back
Hi,
Whats the difference between backup archivelog all and backup archivelog in rman backup.Please find below explanation from the online documentation;
+"+
+If you specify BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL, then RMAN backs up exactly one copy of each distinct log sequence number. For example, if you archive to multiple destinations, RMAN backs up one copy of each log sequence number—not each copy of each log sequence number. For other commands, such as DELETE ALL does refer to every log, even duplicate log sequences.+
+"+
Hope That Helps.

Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog
Hi all,
Can someone tell me if this is correct:
I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
This is how I perform backup on machine A:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
SET DBID 1221334455;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
RESTORE DATABASE;
Recover database;
Thanks,You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
OR
You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.
Regards
