To restore backup on different host using RMAN

Hi All,
Friend I need your help once again. I want to restore my database from the past backup to new HOST by keeping the original database intact using RMAN. Let me explain the scenario:-
Databas Version - 8.1.7
OS - Solaris 5.8
We are using RMAN with Tivoli as third party media management. I just need to restore the database from this tape library using RMAN with recovery catalog on new server. The only doubt I have is how I will make the backups of the production database whose backup has to be restored available on the new host where I have to create new database.
I will be using different file structure for the newly restored database. Do I have to create TDPO files seperately on the server on which I have to restore the database.
Please reply asap.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

You need to create a tdpo.opt file of source on the destination database. Then, allocate channel using this TDPO_OPTFILE and recover database.

Issue Creating Duplicate Database on Different host using RMAN Backup

HI friends..
I m trying to create a duplicate db on different host ....... 27
i have live production db on ............. 15
its up 24*7.
i know how to create dup db using cold backup..but dont know how to create it using RMAN Backup..
I have googled..but getting issues..
Steps Taken till now
Note- I dont have catalog created on live db..
I already have set the tnsnames.ora on both servers
1) Took full backup plus archivelog plus control file on 15
2) moved it to another host..ie 27
3) now on live db..
I conected to rman target /
so i m now connected to prod db
than i try to conect to rman auxiliary sys/sys@dubpd..
But it gives me insufficient privilages error..
Can you tell me what to do next..Coz unless i get into mount phase on sever 27( new server)..i cannot use the control file from backup).my dupdb is up in nomount phase..but what enxt i can do..to restore the control file and than restore the backup after cataloging them to right path..
Thanks in advance frieds...

It gives me ORA-12518
Am i missing something..1- It could be a network problem. You may enable tracing on listener (and examine the logs).
2- Add "DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF" to listener.ora, then reload the listener
3- You may want to increase "large_pool_size"

Restore Database with Oracle 9i with a New Host using RMAN

Gurus,
I am trying to restore a database from some RMAN created files on a new host with a new directory structure for some testing. I do not have access to the source database.
The database is Oracle 9i.
The files that have been created are the following:
'C-2995630462-20110214-00' is the control file and SP file backup.
'B_ABM4KAJ5_1_1' is the database backup.
B_ACM4KARS_1_1 and B_AAM4KAIV_1_1 are archived redo logs
Here is the RMAN listing from when the files were created:

I am new to using RMAN and I'm hoping someone could point me in a direction of some documentation to assist with the scenario described above. I've looked at several Oracle documents but have been unable to find a way to separate out the spfile from the control file.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Meeran.
I have attempted to follow the directions from the RMAN document that you posted and have run into the following error:

It looks like it correctly tried to create a dummy spfile, but when attempting the restore from the file it breaks.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Restore to a different node with RMAN and EMC Networker

I am trying to restore this backup that is on tape (EMC Networker) to a different node. I can do this outside of Networker without any problems. However, when I try to get the backup from tape I have this issue:

I cannot seem to pass this error. This error indicates that the db has to be either mounted or DBID set before the restore of teh controlfile. Mounting db before the restore of the controlfile does not work. Setting db id 1) does not make sense because if the primary db is down then I cannot get it, right? My primary is up now, so I was able to get db id, but setting it made the restore hang with the following:

Do a list command to see if the controlfile backup is on tape.
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
I suggest you to read the manual of EMC Networker or call EMC on how to restore the database to another node. I am using Veritas Netbackup, it may be similar to EMC Networke for your reference. There are a few things that need to be followed when you restore database to another node:
1) set DB_ID, which you have done
2) set NB_CLIENT (in your case NSR_CLIENT) to the primary node from where backup was taken
3) configure the backup server to allow redirect restore between the two nodes.
Hope this helps.

Restore backups on new server with RMAN (nocatalog).

Hi,
On my production database (Oracle8i/Solaris8) I use RMAN(nocatalog) to backup database:
connect target
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup full tag = 'Full Backup'
format '/oracle_backups/db_%t_%s_p%p'
(database);
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup
full
etc.}
I need to test backup by restoring it on test server (Oracle8i/Linux7.3). How I can point RMAN on test server to backup files location?
Thanks.

If you use a recovery catalog and want to duplicate database in a fresh server.
1. connect with the target database.
2. connect with the recovery catalog.
3. connect with the auxiliary database.
4. Run the duplicate command.
Before running the duplicate command copy the backup piece to your fresh server from the target server. Both mount point should be same.

How to Protect two Apps running on two different Hosts using same OAM serve

Hi All,
I am new to OAM. I am trying to configure SSO for an Application using OAM 11g server which is already protecting another Application(Oracle EBS) on a different host.
Oracle EBS application uses the Oracle EBS Access Gate to collect the credentials.
Now what should I do to protect the second application say APP2. Should I require to install a new OHS instance and new Webgate for this purpose ? or can i use the one already used by EBS application ?
Please reply me soon
Thanks,
Prabhu

You may use the same OHS instance by creating additional reverse proxy filter for your application 2.
Or create another instance of OHS and configure webgate, OAM policies for your application 2.
All the applications configured with OAM will be configured for single sign on and no special configuration needs to be done.
Here are my comments to your questions:
1) Can you tell me why we should have different OHS and Webgate to protect the 2nd application ?
- As per best practices, you should have different OHS instances (+webgate) for different applications. But you may also configure the same OHS for multiple applications.
2) If we have different OHS and Webgate, then the same OAM session will be shared between the applications ? Basically the user will navigate from the first application to the second application by clicking a link on the first application's page. Will the OAM_REMOTE_USER header be passed on to the second application in this case?
- Yes, if you have different OHS and Webgate, then the same OAM session will be shared between the applications.
To pass the header variables to any application, add the variables in the application's OAM authorization policy responses.
3) By default OAM 11.1.1.3 sets the userid to the OAM_REMOTE_USER? or we should manually set a response header ?
- To be on a safer side, set this header on the authz policy's response tab and put the vallue as $user.userid

Backup Physical Standby (Dataguard) using RMAN : Issues

Hello All,
I am running a RMAN backup on standby server using the command below. The RMAN backup is actually connecting to the primary database on another server, I found this very confusing and to reassure, i shutdown the primary database and ran the backup again. It fails with not able to conenct to target database. Can you please explain?
run {
allocate channel t1 type disk format '/backup/oracle/PRODCDW/RMAN/DBFILES_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p';
allocate channel t2 type disk format '/backup/oracle/PRODCDW/RMAN/DBFILES_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p';
recover copy of database with tag 'STDBY_PRODCDW';
backup as compressed backupset format '/backup/oracle/PRODCDW/RMAN/DBFILES_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p' tag 'STDBY_PRODCDW' incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag 'STDBY_PRODCDW' database plus archivelog delete input;
}

I am not doing the image copy anymore, I am taking the RMAN incremental backups for the database. I am not getting any errors now but, Here is what I want to achieve:
I am running the RMAN backups on the standby database. I want to :
1) Delete archivelogs on my PRIMARY server only when these logs are successfully TRANSFERED/APPLIED to all my standby databases?
2) Delete archivelogs on my STANDBY server only when these logs are sucessfully APPLIED to the database?

How to restore backup from different device

Hallo... seems I have problem with downloading backup from my older ipad mini (16gb) into newer ipad mini retina (32gb)... during the first setup it aksed me if I want to restore backup from older device, but since my older ipad and its backup was on ios 8.0.2 and newly purchased ipad was still on 7.1.2 i needed to skip this and upgrade os first. now I have new device set up and running ios 8 but I can not get into it backup from older device. what to do?

Resetting the iPad back to factory defaults should take you to the setup process and let you restore to an iCloud backup : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes :
You can go through the iOS Setup Assistant again by erasing all the content on the device. Just tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all content from your device, so do this only if you already have a backup. The iOS Setup Assistant is the only way to restore a backup.

9i Database - Restore to a new host, validating RMAN backup

Hi all,
I could use your help, for any of you who remember how to do this in 9i. On one of my production databases, running 9.2.0.6.0, I have a nightly RMAN script that writes the backup to a large shared drive (this is on a Windows 2003 server). This backup uses a recovery catalog.
I have a test server, and I want to try and restore last night's backup on this test server, without touching the recovery catalog - purely as a means to go through the recovery process, and to validate our backups (this is also for SOX compliance, as this database is for the financial system).
I have been looking through the 9i documentation, and was hoping to have some detailed steps here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007514
but I don't see a lot of information there.
I believe that this should be a rather simple process. On the test server, I have installed the 9.2.0.6 software, and created the Oracle Service using the same name as production. The test server can also see the shared drive that houses the backup files from the production system.
Here are the steps I am trying, please let me know what I need to change. Thanks all!!

RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

Many thanks for the helpful replies so far, Hemant!! I had to shelve this issue for a few days, back at it today.
I have made some progress, I am able to restore the control file now - what I am doing, is copying the autobackup controlfile from the network drive over onto the server locally (E:\oracle\ora92\database\BACKUPCONTROL.ORA), then I am able to restore the controlfile with this:
restore controlfile from 'E:\oracle\ora92\database\BACKUPCONTROL.ORA';
And I can see that it restores all 3 of my controlfiles.
The next step would be to do the database restore. When I issue the "restore database;" command, I can see that it lists out all of the datafiles that it needs to restore from the backup set, but then after about a minute, I see these error messages pop up:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

ORA-27091: skgfqio: unable to queue I/O
ORA-27067: skgfdisp: size of buffer is invalid
OSD-04026: Invalid parameter passed.
When I looked up those last 2 error codes on Metalink, I see document ID 213858.1 that looks like this normally happens when the backup piece that has Read-Only permissions. I have confirmed that the backup files on the network drive are not Read-Only, I have full Read/Write privileges on them. So once again, I am stumped.
Any thoughts? I might go ahead and log an SR for this, to try and get it resolved.
Thanks!

Restore database to different host

Hi
Suppose, I have a full rman backup of a database called "orcl" in the tape.
Can I restore this backupset to another host with database and instance name "test" ?
I will first restore controlfile and datafiles respectively.
In other words, is it necessary to have same database name and instance name if I want to do restore ?

Hi!
If you can connect from the target host to the source host than you can use the "DUPLICATE DATABASE" with "SET NEW NAME" option in rman. This is the easiest way:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#BRADV169]
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126]
If the connection is not allowd from the target host to the source host than you can simply restore and recover the ORCL database on the target host and rename it with NID (DBNEWID) utility:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dbnewid.htm#SUTIL014]

Backup in NOARCHIVELOG mode using RMAN

I'm trying to do a cold backup of a database as outlined in the 'Backup and Recovery Guide':
- shutdown database using SVRMGRL
- run the backup from RMAN:
However I get the following error messages:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel dev1 type disk;
3> backup (database format '/oracle/backup/bp_%s_%p');}
RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources
RMAN-00569: ================error message stack follows================
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: allocate
RMAN-06003: ORACLE error from target database: ORA-01012: not logged on
It looks like RMAN wants to connect to the database I want to backup...
What am I doing wrong????
null

You've probably already figured this out, but you need to connect to the target database before doing backup/restore operations, using a command like
RMAN> connect target user/pw ...

Backup - recovery tablespace + database Using RMAN

Hi,
database : 8.1.7.0.0
OS : windows nt workstation
I have taken the backup using following script thru rman.
e:> rman target = "system/manager@pso" nocatalog
rman> run {
allocate channel DefaultChannel type disk
format 'd:\ORACLE\pso_b_%u_%s_%p';
backup
( tablespace 'USERS' include current controlfile );
It created following file : PSO_B_14DFIFQ5_36_1.
Before executing this script I created a user vasu with default tablepspace as "users". Created a table EMP with spacifying tablespace to "users"
After taking the backup (no problems in this), I dropped the table. I want to restore the table EMP from the backup copy. So what I did is, I tried restoring the tablespace "users" itself, by using following script.
rman> run {
allocate channel DefaultChannel type disk format
'd:\ORACLE\pso_b_%u_%s_%p';
sql "alter tablespace USERS offline immediate ";
restore ( tablespace 'USERS' );
recover tablespace 'USERS' ;
sql "alter tablespace USERS online ";
There is no problem in restoring it also. But when I tried checking for my table EMP in the user vasu, table is not available.
Am I doing something wrong in this.
I tried with taking complete backup of database and restored it. That is also not getting my table which is there before backup.
Can anyone help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Backup policy on Grid, using RMAN and Recovery Catalog.

Hello Gurus,
I'm trying to move ahead the new features of Oracle 10g in my company. So I've already created Grid Control and will deploy Agents/Targets during the next week. I also want to switch the backup process from the archaic exp/imp to RMAN with the Recovery Catalog.
My question is such: could anybody suggest the best book or text with solutions and descriptions of backup policy, using the Grid, RMAN and Catalog? What I want to do is to create eventually the powerful and centralized storage of every database in a company and do all daily routine from there. But as long as I'm only in the very beginning I want to gain some knowledge before the bad experience, like crashed recovery catalog and no backups for all databases :-)))
Definitely I'll keep existing imp/exp and hotbackup for a long time. I'm not going to substitute all our backup strategy with one catalog. I just want to understand what will be the best practice in the backup perspective.
And at all, I wonder if you please could give me very brief answer to this question: Let's say I have a huge monster with 5 disks by 500Gb RAD0+1. Is it a bad idea to store all of them in one physical machine before they will tape to backup or it could make sense? For me it sounds a bit scary, but probably if all made with the brain it's not a bad idea?
Please, send me to some valuable and good source (like Tom Kyte or Don Burleson) Unfortunately, I didn't find anything regard the backups itself. Only pretty much general thought.
Thanks a lot in advance.
M.

great!
thanks a lot!
this is definitely valuable info and I'll read right away. but as far as understand they suggest to use Data Guard, Standby and RAC which are the best ways to prevent your environment from crash. But in reality (I mean in my company) nobody is going to move to RAC at this point and I'm not sure, that they will have a chance to do in the next year. they just aren't up to it.
what I'm looking for is probably some tips and hints about backups in more or less big environment, but not as big as Oracle itself :-) unfortunately, i'm the only DBA in my surrounding. i mean, i have no friends or mentors DBAs that could seat with me in a pub and pass theirs knowledge from generation to generation :-)))
but anyway, I'll devote this week-end to this link.
thanks a lot!
