Upgrading a database through RMAN..

Hi Experts,
We're looking into upgrading one of our databases from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.1 (windows platform running Win 2008 server x64).
Is it possible to duplicate a database (using RMAN) to another server/database that has a newer Oracle release than the source database? and are we required to run "catupgrd.sql" afterwords?
Current database server OS Win2008 service pack 2, Oracle release 11.1.0.7 x64
New Database server OS Win2008 R2, Oracle release 11.2.0.1 x64
RMAN Catalog is on Win 2008 Service pack 2, Oracle release 11.2.0.1 x32
Your input is highly appreciated.
Thanks

I believe it is possible. The following MOS (Metalink) document “Frequently Asked Questions about Restoring Or Duplicating Between Different Versions And Platforms [ID 369644.1]” shows you how.
My personal preference would be to install 11.1.0.7 DB software on the new server (in addition to the already installed 11.2.0.1), DUPLCATE to the 11.1.0.7 in the new server and then upgrade (dbua) to 11.2.0.1.

    Hello,
    I think there is something wrong with the ")" in the listener.ora : the second SID_DESC is not part of the SID_LIST.
    Instead of
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
    (SID_NAME = ora11g)
    (SID_DESC =
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
    (SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
    )It should be :
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
    (SID_NAME = ora11g)
    (SID_DESC =
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
    (SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
    )Hope it will help.

    There's no "full or partial" recovery in Oracle.
    There are :
    1. Database Recovery and Tablespace Point In Time Recovery (aka TSPITR)
    In the former case, it is the database that is recovered.
    In TSPITR, a Tablespace is recovered to an (older) point in time, different from the rest of the database. Since a database must be consistent, a TSPITR is done by using an Auxiliary Instance -- only SYSTEM, UNDO and the required Tablespace are recovered to their own consistent point in time and then the Tablespace data is copied and and plugged back into the Target Database.
    2. Complete Recovery and Incomplete Recovery
    Complete Recovery is right upto the current point in time -- ie upto the last transaction in the online redo logs.
    Incomplete Recovery is upto any point of before the current online redo log (a Timestamp, SCN or LogSequenceNumber) .
    The scenario we are talking of is an Incomplete Recovery -- because we do not have the Online Redo Logs.

    Check the value for the parameter "COMPATIBLE" in the source and standby database instance parameter files.
    "COMPATIBLE" should be the same.
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i70517
    "... ensure the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is set to the same value on both the primary and standby databases"

  • Error During restoring a database through RMAN in Oracle 9i

    Hi all,
    I have taken a full backup in oracle 9i through RMAN in one server(Solaris).
    After that moved that backupset to another server. Server Locations are same. I need to restore the backup in the new server.
    I am using pfile.
    Steps I followed:
    1. Using pfile i have started the db in nomount.
    2. Then restored the controlfile from backup and mounted the database.
    3. then tried to restore the database - I have to restore three of my datafiles to different location, hence i used "set new name "
    But RMAN threw an error while restoring.
    RMAN-00558:
    RMAN-01009:
    File not found.
    Can anyone help to resolve this error.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks, but I took the backup of the database using the command:
    backup database;Only this command i issued.
    In the new server, I tried to list the backup using list backup command by putting the db in mount stage.
    I m not able to view the backup information.
    Is there any command to register the backup information using the catalog?

  • Problem in cloning a Database through RMAN

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to clone a Database of size 500G.
    The problem here is, I don't have enough disk space to take the backup and clone it later...
    Is there any utility in RMAN which clones the database, without demanding the 500G disk space to stage the Database, in a serial fashion i.e. TS by TS or some other way?
    regards,
    CSM

    Thanks for the reply Mahir.
    I'm curious to know how Oracle is performing the datacopy operation in this case, if it's not backing up the database?
    Will it do copy a file --> restore ->> copy another like that?
    This will create a process that sets up a network channel between the servers and will use an 'ftp'-like process to copy the database. Including archivelogs such that it can recover the database when done.
    >
    Another question I have is how to specify the paths for new datafiles if the destination is using ASM?run
    { set newname for datafile 1 to '+DATA';
    set newname for datafile <last> to '+DATA';
    duplicate database from active....
    and whoever said disks are cheap have not tried to purchase them even though it is a requirement to do business. "Hey, let's have more data, but you can't have disk on which to store it. Just use an etch-a-sketch."

  • Taking tablespace offline through RMAN command line

    I am taking a Oracle 9i Backup and Recovery class. One of the hands-on assignments is to simulate a lost datafile. The instructions say to shut down the database through RMAN, delete the INDX01.dbf datafile through my operating system, mount the database, take the INDX tablespace offline, open the database, recover the INDX01.dbf datafile, and then place the INDX tablespace online again.
    My problem is that when I issue the command (in RMAN) to take the INDX tablespace offline (remember, database is mounted), I get an error saying the database is not open. The command I am issuing through RMAN is this: >sql 'ALTER TABLESPACE INDX OFFLINE IMMEDIATE'; I can't get any further because of the error message that my database is not open. Is my instruction book wrong in that I can't take the tablespace offline if the database is in a mounted state? Does the database have to be open to do this?

    4. Mount the database and take the tablespace corresponding to Indx01.dbf data file offline.There could be a misunderstanding about the command to be used. ALTER TABLESPACE command needs an open DB to work, but you can use
    RMAN> sql 'alter database datafile <file name or file number> offline drop';
    that will work with DB in mount state. See this example :
    RMAN> startup mount
    connected to target database (not started)

  • Problems doing an active Database duplication through RMAN

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do active Database duplication through RMAN (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmdupdb.htm#).
    My OS is Sun Solaris 5
    Oracle version: 11gR1 Database on a 11gR2 Grid.
    I'm receiving the error
    RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/sys@rac402
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections
    I'm seeing the listeners are in blocked state as mt auxiliary Database is in nomount state.
    Service "rac40" has 1 instance(s).
    Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
    Service "rac40_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
    Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
    If I connect directly, I'm able to connect ("connect auxiliary / " after setting ORACLE_SID)
    But active RMAN is saying
    RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 06/18/2012 01:37:14
    RMAN-06217: not connected to auxiliary database with a net service name (I don't know why Oracle is so specific in connecting through net service name only!!!)
    So, how could I move forward?? any help is greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    CSM

  • Unable to recover database after rman recovery and database open resetlogs

    I am running Oracle 10.2.0.5 on OpenSUSE 9. I have been trying to upgrade the database to 11g, through dbua. I was getting stuck at one point during the Oracle Server install and the upgrade failed and I was forced to restore the database to an earlier backup.
    Below is the current place that I am stuck. As you can see I opened the database multiple times and reset the logs. Now I am afraid that my controlfile and redo log backups are out of sync and i can't get them back on track. Before when I actually got the database recovered RMAN would immediately throw:
    RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
    RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
    OPA-00600: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: ...
    The database would open with ALTER DATABASE RESETLOGS but any query on non-system tables would fail and throw:
    ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of LCRS_DEV1.FACILITY_REF
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17069], [0x1158ED180], [], [], [],
    I hope I have not dug myself into too deep of a hole here.
    Here is the trace from my most recent attempt.

    Thanks for the reply Hemant. I have reset the database for the controlfile that I am using as backup and now I am not able to recover until the correct SCN. I am thinking that my recovery catalog is bad. If I mount with the current controlfile I have this list of incarnations:

    I think it is trying to overwrite exiting file. Either give a different name or cleanup the files in preferred location.

  • 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
