Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can I recover one schema from Rman Backup

    hi experts,
    I have Raman backup of my database and database is in archivelog mod.
    by mistake all data is deleted from one of schema. I dont want to change anything in other schemas.
    Can I recover my data ?
    O.S. = SunOS 5.10
    oracle = 10.2.0.3.0

    As far as I know RMAN doesn't really function at the schema level. It's only really concerned with blocks, datafiles, tablespaces and entire databases.
    You should be able to get the schema back by, recovering the database to another server or filesystem, and then migrating the schema from the restored database to the current database using datapump.

  • Undo tablespace recovery from RMAN backup

    Hi,
    Lets's assume we have RMAN backup and archivelog backups, and now
    my undo tablespace's disk crashed ,how can i recover?
    Can i recover while database is up?
    Thanks,
    Kumar.

    to recover UNDO tablespace from RMAN backup you must shutdown the database and start it in the MOUNT state to recover the missing files as follows
    rman target /
    RUN
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch3 TYPE Disk;
    RESTORE datafile 'c:\u01\prod3\undo01.dbf';
    RECOVER datafile 'c:\u01\prod3\undo01.dbf';
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch3;
    hope this will help you

    My pfile has new db_name , but while db creation rman setting to db_name to source dbname.. it should be new db name that i want create with new db name...

    it appears to be i should not touch the soruce db.. i have access to only source db rman backups and need to create another db with different dbname/sid.. please do help...

    When you performing RMAN duplicate why you making your script so complicated?
    Your instance name and DB name can be different, But what is the contents in your pfile "D:\TESTDELETE\initclonedb1.ora" ? please do post
    Have you started any other services related to ORACLE? check in start --> run --> services.msc any other active oracles services, Make sure you have clonedb1.
    Startup in nomount
    check the connectivity to target server.
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO 'F:\app\HOME\oradata\clonedb1\TEMP01.DBF';Why you mentioning SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ? You have option of db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in case if your file system different in Target & auxiliary.
    BACKUP LOCATION 'F:\app\HOME\flash_recovery_area\orcl\'When you have backup in same location why you are mentioning this clause?
    First run duplicate from auxiliary server as
    rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
    RMAN> duplicate target database to "db_name";
    Am not sure what you are trying to do. is it 11gR1 or 11gR2?
    You have option of duplicate from active database without having backup also..
    here some links please check it.

  • Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

    I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
    Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
    I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

    Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
    If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
    So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

  • Restore and recover tablespace(s) in another db using RMAN

    Hi,
    I'm using Oracle Standard edition 11gR2, actually that's why I'm posting this thread because I can't use TRANSPORT TABLESPACE feature.
    I need to restore and recover two tablespaces, backed up in source database in another database. The destination db has been duplicated from the source db a couple of days ago so the structure is identical.
    I cannot use Data Pump on this specific tablespace, because it causes some strange behavior in our application. So I took a backup from tablespaces and now I'm looking for a solution to restore and recover it in another db.
    Is there any command to restore a tablespace from a specific file? I googled a lot and no luck so far..
    Any ideas?
    P.S: I use controlfile instead of recovery catalog.
    Edited by: aLuViAn on Dec 2, 2012 11:55 PM

    I have a backup schedule to take daily full backups (twice) and hourly incremental backup. So yes, I have backup!
    P.S: I also tried the following:
    restore tablespace REG_DATA from  'temp_ERIS0_hjnru4ss_1_1.rman';

  • Recover Primary Database from Standby Database

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to understand how to use physical standby database in order to have a backup from a primary database.
    The first part is very clear. I supose I have a physical standby database ready and archiving from a primary database but the second part is the problem.
    1. Now I supose that my primary database is gone... not just a logical corruption but a physical disaster such a fire o something worst.
    How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database??????????
    2. Just a logical corruption in primary database. How to syncronize with the standby database that it's the one who has the right data???
    Thanks in advance.

    How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database?1. Ensure that you DO have a Primary Site up and running. It might be the same building. It might be another building. Management might decide to switch to another city. (BTW, all of this should be defined in the D.R. / B.C.P. documentation).
    The (possibly new) Primary Site has to have the required hardware , O.S etc.
    2. Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the (possibly new) Primary.
    Actually, the Standby becomes the new Primary and the new site that is setup becomes the Standby. This continues until management decides to switch over.
    Just a logical corruption in primary database.Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the Primary. You have to suffer an outage. Note : If only one or few files on the Primary are physically corrupt (and offline), you could backup the selected files from the Standby and RESTORE and RECOVER on the Primary !

  • Restoring and recovering and encrypted backup.

    Hi,
    I'm in the early stages of implementing encryption of RMAN backups using the Oracle Wallet to store the key.
    I don't yet have a box to test the restore on but thought I see if anyone has any experience they can share of restoring and recovering encrypted backups?
    Some questions I have include at what point does the wallet have to be opened during the restore? Is the wallet opened at the NOMOUNT step by the instance?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Before dropping a DB we had taken an RMAN backup.I hope you were in mount mode.
    Will RMAN automatically recognize the FORMAT of the backup piece and restore ?No it won't.
    First you have to restore a controlfile in nomount mode with:
    restore controlfile from '/u04/backup/rmanbkp /02mo9fnc_1_1';
    and do alter database mount.
    Than you have to run "catalog start with '/u04/backup/rmanbkp'; " so the instance now knows where to find the pieces.
    Now you can run a restore database command.
    Than open the database with resetlogs.

  • Error in Check DB after RESTORE and RECOVER

    Hi Team,
    System was partially restored and recovered due hardware failure.
    We had 3 file systems that had to be restored and in one of them we has "/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2" data file.
    After the restore and recovery , the system was up.When ran check DB , the get the below error message and when i checked in DB02 , everytime when trying to see the datafile inside PSAPTEMP , there is a short dump with the same error message listed below.
    Database error text........: "ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 256 -
    see DBWR trace file#ORA-01110: data file 256:
    '/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2'"
    When checked the restore , looks like "oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2'" was not restored.
    Kindly help to check how to correct this error. Even my online backup's are failing.

    Hello Priyanka,
    how did you restore your database?
    The temporary files are not included in a backup, because they are not needed for a recovery - that works as designed.
    After the recovery you have to add these files again.
    If you would have used brrecover for restoring/recovering your database the temporary files would be added automatically.
    Check the documentation here:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/6e/4c37b85dc7f24d88f177396dc45645/content.htm
    Now you have to do this manually like this:
    shell> sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/BWP/sapdata8/temp_2/temp.data2' REUSE;
    Regards

  • Restore and recover Logic 8 after main OS boot disk crash

    Hi,
    I want to restore and recover Logic 8 and the software i use with it (Apogee Maestro,UAD Quad & Waves plug-ins) to a new boot disk. I have both a back up of the main OS drive on a drive with Time Machine and a disk copy of the main drive (on another) as i had it before the boot disk crashed. My question is which is the best option to take when restoring the OS etc? As I have heard that there is a couple of bugs and issues when restoring via Time Machine. Is restoring via the disk copy a simple procedure? Or, should i reinstall everything completely from scratch and copy back the receipts and authorizations perhaps? Can you point me towards the best link/method to get my setup back on track?
    Yours sincerely,
    KFK
    ps.. i'm using an apogee symphony pci card

    Thanks for your reply John, but that didn't do the trick for me. I called Apple's professional audio support. Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, the support was awesome - the guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Basically, the error I'm experiencing is a nasty one if it appears with pro apps like Logic. He indicated my only recourse was to re-install Logic. Since I'm on Logic 7, I figured if I have to re-install, might as well upgrade to Logic 8. I'm mid-project right now, so I'm pretty nervous doing that, but not much choice.

  • TS3694 Can't restore and recover iPhone 4s. Keep getting The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). Help please!

    Please help. I simply connected my iPhone 4s to my Dell laptop (Win 8) which connected to iTunes automatically (which it normally does) and was told that I needed to update my software (I believe for both iPhone OS and iTunes). I tried to update and now my iPhone won't work at all. I just keep going in circles trying to restore and recover and I keep getting the error message: The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). All I see on my iPhone 4s screen is a cable connector, a little up arrow, and an iTunes symbol--and nothing else works.

    If you're old phone that was repalced was a higher version of iOS, it wont be able to restore. Update your iPhone to the lastest iOS 7.0.4 and try to restore it then.
