System datafile corruption

good morning all
What if in system datafile some blocks are corrupted in scenerio as below(db in noarchive mode but backup available-point in time recovery not important,data loss tolerated but want faster approach without shutting down db prefrably)
oracle 10g release 2
1)have cold backup /rman of few days old before corruption
2)can i use bmr of rman or export system from this server import on anoter server and export and import back on this server
3)or can i restore backup/rman of this db on other server,export system and import this on server where
system.dbf is corrupted
4)OR should i restore whole rman backup and replace whole db(point in time recovery not important here)
which approach is best
thanks

for the following points :
1)have cold backup /rman of few days old before corruptionyou have to remove the existing C/R/D files and restore those files from the last backup and start the database.
2)can i use bmr of rman or export system from this server import on anoter server and export and import back on this serverTaking export is possible but not sure whether there would be any problem while taking any export and also during the import as well.
3)or can i restore backup/rman of this db on other server,export system and import this on server where system.dbf is corrupted Its same as your second point but you are just doing it remotely
4)OR should i restore whole rman backup and replace whole db(point in time recovery not important here) which approach is bestThis point is right because the database is not in archivelog mode...
Cheers!

  • ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure and SYSTEM datafile corrupt

    We have an Oracle 10g Express database that is getting the following error on startup.
    ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
    It is also showing that the SYSTEM datafile is corrupt. And unfortunately the backups are gone. Is there any way to recover from this without a backup? Maybe some hidden undocumented parameter???
    We do have some full database exports from a couple weeks ago so it is not a complete loss but would really like a full recover.

    Windows XP
    We have tried allowresetlogs_corruption and allowread_only_corruption and no luck so far.

  • System datafile block corruption - no backups and database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

    Dear All,
    Database version - oracle 11.1 Enterprise
    OS - RHELinux 5.8
    What are the options of recovering from physical block corruption when there are no backup available to perform block media recovery?
    V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION reports two segments corrupted (please see attached image for details).
    1 table in system datafile - sys_fba_barrierscn
    1 index - (applicaiton index)
    What are my options?
    I know there is a possibility that the database will not restart after a shutdown due to corruption in system tablespace.
    Database is in noarchivelog mode. So online backups are not possible and there aren't any full backups either.
    I am thinking of below,
    1. Run dbms_repair with fix_block_corruption. - Still database startup might fail?
    2. Shutdown the database and take offline full backup with RMAN MAXCorrupt option.
    Appreciate your suggestions and advises.
    Thanks
    Stefan

    Thanks Sybrand,
    Agree with your first two suggestions .
    Also scheduled a expdp job tonight. (Only backup like thing they had was a expdp cron, but until today all the large tables were failing due to small undo_retention).
    Yes. Flashback is not used. So hopefully it will not affect the a database restart i guess?
    Related to dbms_repair, I was referring to - http://askdba.org/weblog/2010/08/physical-corruption-ora-1578-part-3/.
    Where DBMS_REPAIR.FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS and DBMS_REPAIR.SKIP_CORRUPT_BLOCKS used.
    Which i think will not use any redo.
    Thanks
    Stefan

  • RMAN restore when system datafile get corrupt

    Hi,
    I am new to Backup and recovery, Can anybody suggest.
    If my system datafile gets corrupt, do I need to restore and recover complete database or just datafile restore will be suffice.
    In case the database is running on archive log mode.
    Waiting for reply.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • 8i: is it possible to restore a SYSTEM-datafile?

    Just curious: is it possible to restore a SYSTEM-datafile using rman 8i ?
    I was playing with a 8i-database, after a hard reboot the SYSTEM-datafile got corrupted. I want to restore it, but before trying I want to be sure it is possible to restore a SYSTEM-datafile. Any thoughts on this?

    first check how many datafiles contains SYSTEM tablespace.

    Some recovered datafiles maybe left media fuzzy
    Media recovery may continue but open resetlogs may fail
    MRP0: Background Media Recovery process shutdown
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Check this error,
    ORA-01237: cannot extend datafile string
    Cause: An operating system error occurred during the resize.
    Action: Fix the cause of the operating system error and retry the command.
    Is there any DDL statement in your primary to resize datafile ? Do you have enough space on standby server?

  • System block corrupted

    Hi,
    Database version: 10.2.0
    OS: Linux 5.4
    in my test databae One of the system datafile block is corrupted.
    I dont have rman backup for that test db.
    EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1578 encountered
    ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 1, block # 50305)
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/rmct/system01.dbf'
    EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
    I cannot recover that block. At least I want to take export of the schema which resides in non
    system tablespace.
    regards,

    What is the mode of your database.
    SQL> select log_mode from v$database ;
    If it is running in ARCHIVELOG, then you should be able to recover the corrupted block using RMAN
    Guide on how to do that using RMAN can be found at ..

    You can also read the forum
    block level recovery
    If the database is running in NOARCH. then I am not sure but you have to repair the block before you can run import. You can use the DBMS_REPAIR package
    Refer the link for DBMS_REPAIR package details:

  • System File corrupted

    Hi
    A small clarification required.
    If the system datafile is corrupted, what is the way ahead to bring the DB up and running.
    Thanks
    Sheen

    Using rman, restoring system tablespace on its original location:
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ rman target /
    RMAN> startup mount;
    RMAN> restore tablespace system;
    RMAN> recover tablespace system;
    RMAN> alter database open;
    On different location:
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ rman target /
    RMAN> startup mount;
    RMAN> run {               
    set newname for datafile 1 to '/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/non_default_location/system01.dbf';
    restore tablespace system;
    switch datafile all;
    recover tablespace system;
    alter database open;
    You should have a valid backup...

    RE: Mail  
    I inherited an iMac, OS X 10.6.8. The Mail system is corrupted.  I cannot close blank mail formats that opened to be written and sent.  I just get an unpleasant noise when I try to close these.  Also, I don't know what the outgoing mail link should be.
    Please help!

    Quit Mail, Trash this file...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • ITunes.exe - System error / corrupt file

    I purchased an iPod nano about a month ago. Since then about every week my entire iPod content is erased while i transfer music to iTunes. All of a sudden it disconnects and says "iTunes.exe - System error / Corrupt file". Each time this happens I need to restore my iPod, which does not help either. I have the latest iTunes version and I downloaded the iPod updater, however none of them make a difference in the situation. I would really like to know whether this can be solved or I need to return the device to the store.
    iPod Nano 2GB   Windows XP  

    Have a look at this informative link by forum member Da Gopha: Da Gopha - If Windows displays an iTunes.exe corrupt file/chkdsk message

    :Please make sure that you read the docs before attempting to create issues as most of the issues are very well documented in the docs. For the recovery of the System tablespace, you need to have a backup and if you have only one datafile in the system tablespace or first dataflie of the System tablespace is lost, you can't get it through the create datafile clause.

  • Etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

    etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

    with boot -a you can only specify new /etc/system during boot , e.g. /dev/null
    but if you want to recover it , you can do it from live kernel ( if you didn't reboot after /etc/system was corrupted )
    with
    echo ::system|mdb -k
    or from previous crash dump simmilar way
    cd /var/crash/`uname -n`
    cho ::system|mdb unix.[x] vmcore.[y]

  • Systeme Preference Corruption for All Users!

    In one of my user account, I can't get the scroll bars to show!!!
    I want in preference-general and select ''Always'' under Show Scroll Bars, but I can't see them in Safari, Mail...
    When I close Preference, my ''Always'' selection is gone and it return to '' Automatically based on input device''
    Also, issue with Screen Saver. I can select any Apple default screen saver. My iMac always play my iPhoto Library.
    I'm suspecting Systeme Preference Corruption in all my users.
    In previous post, Frank recommended to boot from recovery disk, go to terminal, rset paasword window and slect ''Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLs''
    This is what I did, exept, it was running after 24 hrs of waiting and I decide to quit. It did the same with all users...
    Do you have a solution to this issue?
    NOTE: Lions was reinstalled and HD erase. Repair Disk Permission done, Safe boot done.
    What do I got left?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
