Tape Backups

Hello,
Does anyone know what the two para are that I need in OEM 10g using Net Veritas for tape backups.
I want to use OEM to schudule my backups to tapes using MML. What should these two settings be set at ?
Tape Settings - Tape Drives =
and
Media Management Settings - Media Management Vendor Library Parameters =
Thanks..

After you get this error in DMP do you go to device manager and do a hardware refresh?  If yes, does Windows rediscover the device?  Also, have you checked the library front panel for issues?  Another thing that I have seen with other backup
vendors is that you can try to play with enabling/disabling the medium changer (if it is enabled disable it, if disabled try enabling it).  The other thing you may want to do is update the drivers on the server the drives are attached to.

  • Performance issue in tape backup

    Friends,
    Our tape backup is implemented with help of Veritas Netbackup,for one of our servers,tape backup is taking too much long time. I generated AWR report during the ongoing backup and noticed the below stats:-

    Thanks in advance.

    The tape drive is likely the constraint.  It cannot write fast enough to handle 4 channels streaming datafiles to it.
    I would guess that the datafiles are also going over the network to the media manager.  You need to check the network throughput for that link as well.

  • How to include another partition in tape backup

    Hi
    I use a shell script written by my sysadmin to take backup of our oracle system on tape. now i moved some datafiles on another partition and hence want to include that partition also in tape backup.
    for fs in $(cat /tmp/dailybkupfs | awk '{print $1}')
    do
    # For / replace the / with root for log filename
    if [[ "$fs"  = "/" ]]
    then
    fn="root"
    else
    # replace any / in fs name with _ for use in log filename
    fn=$(echo $fs | sed 's:/::g')
    fi
    if umount ${fs}
    then
    echo "${fs} unmounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
    else
    echo "${fs} unmount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
    fi
    if ufsdump 0uf prddb:/dev/rmt/0n ${fs} >${log}.${fn}.${dt} 2>&1
    then
    echo "Full Backup of ${fs} completed successfully" >> /tmp/logs/summary
    else
    echo "Full Backup of ${fs} failed" >> /tmp/logs/summary
    fi
    if mount ${fs}
    then
    echo "${fs} mounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
    else
    echo "${fs} mount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
    fi
    done
    echo "Full Backup of all DB file systems Complete" >> /tmp/logs/summary
    Also the dailybkupfs file has the following contents->
    /u01
    /u02
    /u03
    /u04
    /u05
    /u06
    Now to include /u07 partition for backup, I just need to include the /u07 partition in file dailybkupfs.right?
    Thanks

    I am concerned that the config file resides in /tmp.
    That filesystem normally gets cleared if the box reboots.
    So as far as I can tell, if your box is rebooted, the backups stop working..

  • 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.

  • How to manually run a Yearly Tape backup of a Volume in DPM?

    I can run a manual tape backup by right clicking on the volume and choosing Long term backup, but it only runs the monthly tape backup job.
    How can I manually run a Yearly Tape backup job?
    I am using DPM 2010.
    There must be a way to create a job that uses Yearly backup settings.  
    Or an alternative is to change the expiry date of the Backup if that is possible.
    Thanks,

    Although you cannot pick the recovery point date in the past to make a new recovery point from, you can run the DPM Power shell script in this
    post to select a recovery goal to make a current backup for.  The recovery point date would be that of the latest disk based recovery point for any goal selected.

  • Restore controlfile from tape backup without autobackup setting on

    I am testing a scenraio of restoring control file if we loose all control files.
    My RMAN settings for CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But, I have taken a backup of controlfile using 'BACKUP CURRENT CONTROL FILE' .

    RMAN-06563: control file or SPFILE must be restored using FROM AUTOBACKUP
    My question is, How can I restore control file from tape backup without CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting ON.
    It sounds like, There is no way we can restore control file from tape backup if you've not set the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is ON.
    Please advice

    When all controlfiles are lost and a recovery catalog is NOT used, RMAN has no information , where to find the controlfile backup. It's not enough to specify the channel, such a channel could hold many different backups from many different databases. You have tell , which database and which backupset. Modify your run block:
    SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
    RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';

  • Restore controlfile from leagato tape backup

    I am using legato tool to perform rman tape backup.
    I use the following script on legato to get the controlfile backup.
    "backup current controlfile format '%d_%s_%p.ctrl'; "
    If I lost the controlfile how do i restore controlfile from the tape. Assume that the DB in nomount stage.

    Hi,
    backing up autobackup controlfiles to legato is possible. All you have to do is to configure autobackup accordingly. By default autobackup controlfiles will get written to disk.
    However i strongly recommend to use a rman backup catalog. This will save you a lot of time consuming trouble if you need to restore your database.
    The rman catalog database itself does not need any license and is rather small (5 GB on disk, 512 MB memory).
    Restoring the control file will be something like this:
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt to '%F';
    restore controlfile from autobackup;

  • Restore from Tape Backup

    Hi All,
    Oracle Ver. 10.2.0.4 on Sun-Solaris 9.
    Need to do a restore and recover on the DR site using the tape backups from production site.
    The path and file names are same in both sites.
    In the DR site only the Oracle server software is installed. There are no oracle files/database.
    Will a incomplete recovery solve the issue?
    What will be the steps in RMAN.?

    Hi,
    If you know the location of the controlfile autobackup than
    restore the spfile and controlfile first.
    Than mount the controlfile and restore and recover the database to a PIT, sequence or SCN.
    You can find a lot of examples of commands in this forum.

  • Disk/Tape backup?

    Hi, All:
    We have a new system installed Oracle 8.1.6. Now we are considering the method of Backup/Recovery.
    In our system 2 disks and 1 tape device can be used for backup. And I think there are 2 ways to use them:
    1). 1 disk : archive log;
    1 disk : backup using by RMAN;
    1 tape : backup's backup
    2). 1 disk : archive log;
    1 disk : the copy of the archive log;
    1 tape : backup using by RMAN;
    I don't know which is better? which is common?(The data size is about 20GB)
    Can anybody give me some advices?
    Thanks.

    All you need to do is take the backup file from FRA to tape.

  • Recovery window for tape backups

    Hope someone can answer to my questions.
    With RMAN you can maintain the number of tape backups that are needed for recovery purpose through the “delete obsolete recovery window” command. E.g. the command below ensures tape backups be kept for recovery within 31 days:
    delete noprompt obsolete recovery window of 31 days device type 'SBT_TAPE';
    Q:
    1)     If I use a disk area as pseudo tape area in my backups (through ORACLE.DISKSBT library parameter), I guess the above "delete noprompt obsolete recovery window" command would work on the pseudo tape area as well?
    2)     At my site the pseudo tape area is backed up to tape nightly through the system backup job, and the tape backups are kept for about 1 month by the tape system. To save space in the pseudo tape area on disk can I just set a small recovery window in the above DELETE command (say 1 day) , and relies on the actual tape system retention policy for oracle backups? How would this affect oracle’s ability to do recovery?
    Thanks

    1) I would never use a 'faked' tape as a permanent solution - only to test tape backup scripts - , as it slows down the backup/recovery process. From RMAN's point of view a pseudo tape works like a real tape, so all valid commands apply.
    2) When you delete a backup, RMAN forgets it. RMAN is not aware of still available backups in the tape system, you have to recatalog the backups. That means overhead in manual maintenance and a source for possible errors.

  • 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.
    RMAN> run {
    2> set controlfile autobackup format for device type 'SBT_TAPE' to '%F';
    3> allocate channel ch00 device type 'sbt_tape'

    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,
    SSS

    I 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

  • 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.

    The server is part of a protection group that is co-located, I am trying the backup not as part of a co-located set to see if this makes any difference.
    Tape backups for other servers, which are part of the same co-location group, work fine and it seems to be just this one causing the issue.
    I have seen a few other posts on the net referencing "WARNING MediaPool 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 does not exist." where people have similar issue with DPM crashing out but so far nobody seems to have any answers.
    I am debating removing the protection group and trying to 'start from scratch' but wondered if anyone else had any thoughts ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Open SQL management studio and connect to the instance used by DPM.

    we have enough archivelog space.
    and the archive log pointing in this error is on 15th september archivelog.....today date is 20th september....
    My archive log was stored in asm .... i went there and saw that still 15th september archivelogs are present there.
    Please help me regarding this
