To Confgure RMAN backup through Netvault

Hi All,
I have configured RMAN backup through a Net-Vault. Previously I was taking User Managed backup, Backup ran successfully. I have issues with RMAN Backup through NetVault.
The following is the error message received.
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04005: error from target database:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Failed with exit code 3
RMAN returned exit code 3
But when I take RMAN backup directly(Without Netvault) with that oracle user, I have no problem - Backup Runs properly.
What should I do to take Backup through NetVault.
Thanks In Advance,
Suresh S.

No it's not at all possible to take backup of multiple database through the manually allocated channel.
Allocating the channel manually is only possible while running the commands in batch mode
eg. run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
allocate channel ch2 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
backup database setsize=12582912;
release channel ch1;
release channel ch2;
And you can connect through single rman prompt to only one target database not more than that. So at any point of time you connect to only one database you can user channels to backup that database only.
connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS/ORACLE@RMAN

  • How to take RMAN backup through a single (default) channel

    Sir,
    In an interview I was asked a question that how can I allocate a single channel to multiple databases to take simultaneous backup. I was unanswer.
    Pl. tell me if it is possible what will be the query with an example.

  • 10g Physical Standby to be used for Backup through RMAN

    Dear All,
    I have 10g Database Primary and Standby Server which is operating in Maximum Performance Mode. I want to use Standby Database for performing Weekly Full and Daily Incremental Backups through RMAN. Kindly inform me is it possible, if yes how should I configure it. I will also be using Compression and Encryption while performing backups.
    Best Regards,
    Asif

    Yes, that is possible.
    Because the standby databases are in mount mode, they can be accessed through the SYS account .
    I use the following RMAN script for the same purpose. Please note that we have configure the flashback area, so we are not letting RMAN delete the archive files:
    run {
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
    backup
    incremental level 0
    tag full_bk_db_webshop
    format 'df_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
    (database include current controlfile);
    backup archivelog all;
    This script is for a FULL backup ( level 0 ). You could also use the "backup full" command
    You can easily change the level of the Backup for incremental purposes.
    Starting RMAN - if configured correctly - is the same as with an open database
    export ORACLE_SID=<STDBYSID>
    rman target / rcvcat <rman/rman>@<catalogsid>
    the user for, and the catalogsid are merely examples

  • Oracle Online Backup through EMC Networker - RMAN Script

    Hi,
    For taking online oracle backup through EMC Networker, we configure the RMAN script to connect to the target database, create the media channels, backup format etc. The password for the sys or rman user entered in the RMAN script is in clear-text format.
    Due to security reasons, I don't want the passwords to be entered in the RMAN script. Is there any option for configuring RMAN script without mentioning the username/password to connect to the target database ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shreejesh.

    When you have to connect remotely to RMAN, you cannot hide the password, you can only define very restricted access for the script itself. Remote OS authentication will not work, because the target db user needs SYSDBA privilege, which cannot be granted to an externally identified user.

  • Find how many archive logs are generated and backup through RMAN

    friends,
    how many arhcive logs are generating between 2 consecutive backups through RMAN.
    Ur help is really appricated.
    Thanks

    Sorry, I misunderstood the question
    I think you are not asking how many logs are generated since last backup. My initial repy was the answer for this
    The answer of you question on 10G R2 is like below. Query groups your archivelog backup sessions and counts the logs in one session which is the number of generated archivelog file between two backup session/.
    select session_key,count(sequence#) from V$BACKUP_ARCHIVELOG_DETAILS group by session_key order by 1 desc

    It was because of the shut abort. I have done it once and then mounted back and tried backup.. it gave error. again i did shut immediate and mounted back and error again... I havent tried opening it once.. now i opened database first and then shut immediate and then mount... backup running fine.. :-) thanks a lot..

    Edited by: arundba on Feb 17, 2011 2:55 AMSince there had been a shutdown abort, you had to do a full open to allow crash recovery to occur and get everything back in sync. As long as you were only doing STARTUP MOUNT, it couldn't perform the necessary recovery.

  • Standby database from RMAN backup

    I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.

    I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
    In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230
    A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

    Dear Pierre F.;
    Actually, I just added in my backup plan to have daily backup through RMAN, instead of COLD backup.
    I have planned to take cold backup once a week. here is the side of data:
    *** datafile 410
    *** size of database : 86 GM
    *** relog files size : 250MB
    *** daily archive logs are : 250MB * 4(number of files) = 1GM aprox.
    yes, time constraint is there; just because of the size of database. and we r going for 24/7
    Is this script going to run only one per week ?
    Ans: no I this was level 0 backup; i will take level 1 incremental backup with same script daily too.
    Do you have any other RMAN script ?
    ANS: no, I will modify same script for incremental.
    after local copy of backup all backup files (RMAN) will be copy over network to backup server or we can install LTO tape device to copy directly from database server.
    kindly advise me I am new in RMAN.
    regards;

    I recently read through one of the document related to Unused compression in RMAN backup for 10.2.0.4 database. According to this
    Unused Block Compression is done, if all of the following conditions apply:
    + The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is set to 10.2
    + There are currently no guaranteed restore points defined for the database
    + The datafile is locally managed
    + The datafile is being backed up to a backup set as part of a full backup or a level 0 incremental backup
    + The backup set is being created on disk.
    I have two queries
    1) What is meant by "uaranteed restore points defined for the database"
    2) If backup is being directly taken to tape, this feature would not be used
    Rgds
    Harvinder

    1. Normal and Garanteed Restore Points
    2. No

  • RMAN backup job status not showing in OEM

    Hi, I have created an RMAN backup job and scheduled it through OEM to run daily. The first run of this backup job completed today - however I do not see any entry for the job in OEM through SERVER - ORACLE SCHEDULER - JOBS
    A lot of scheduler jobs are listed but not my backup job.
    Has anyone else experienced this ?

    Duplicate post. Please do not add to this thread.

  • RMAN / backup.  oracle 9 vs. oracle 10

    My colleague mentioned a while ago that we had to investigate RMAN &/or a backup client, "because in oracle 10, when doing an export of a live db, oracle does not switch into "single user mode" like it did in 9. So we couldn't have 100% faith in our .dmp file."
    I'd like to do some further research on this, but looking through the "Oracle 10 Complete reference" and googling - I don't see any information about it. Has anyone here dealt with this or know of a link I should see?
    Finally... Does anyone know if an RMAN backup for Oracle 10 accounts for any "in progres" transactions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    Oracle, itself, doesn't switch to single user mode.
    Your colleague might have been talking of scripts which shutdown and restart the
    database in restricted mode to run an export of the database.
    RMAN backups as in 8.0/8i/9i/10g (or EBU in Oracle 7) and scripted (aka
    "user managed") backups are all physical backups. They take database blocks
    "as they are". Conceptually, the datafile backups aren't aware of active transactions.
    It is the redo stream in the archivelogs that is required for you to be able to restore
    and recreate a consistent database image.

  • Create standby DB with RMAN backup in Oracle 9.2.0.6

    I am tring to create a standby DB in different host with different directory using RMAN. The commandv with which I tried to create the standby database is the follow:
    (in the primary server side)
    RUN
    ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL DUP1 TYPE DISK;
    DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY
    NOFILENAMECHECK
    DORECOVER;
    but RMAN give me this error:
    Starting restore at 18-FEB-08
    channel DUP1: starting datafile backupset restore
    channel DUP1: restoring controlfile
    output filename=/opferi/oradata/oradata01/data01/cntrl01.dbf
    released channel: DUP1

    ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Additional information: 3
    The standby database is in a different host with the same directory structure. I started (with nomount option) with the same init file that the primary database.
    I read solution like the backupset must be copied manually to the standby host, but for me is not a solution.
    The RMAN backup script is the follow (like
    RUN {
    CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET;
    DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
    DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUPSET;
    crosscheck archivelog all;
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE disk;
    BACKUP
    $BACKUP_TYPE
    FORMAT '/rman/opferi2/df_sipd_%d_%u_%s_%p'
    DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup format '/rman/opferi2/archive_log_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p' (archivelog all);
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
    when $BACKUP_TYPE=0
    Can anyone help my with this problem?? Thaks
    Cristian.
    PS. Sorry my bad english because I am from Latin America

    Requirements are:
    1 the backup should be accessible to both target and auxiliary database in the same location.
    2 On Unix this can be arranged through NFS, provided you set the read and write buffer to 32k.
    Obviously the backup can not be located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, as you can not mount a NFS directory over $ORACLE_HOME/dbs without loosing functionality.
