command to restore an archive to an ASM RMAN backup

Hello

I have a database of all the archives are in the disk. I made a backup of an archive with RMAN and I have my backup files. This archive is applied to a standby database that uses ASM and I know what the path inside the ASM where archive must be. I catalogued my backup in my database pending.

I need the command to restore an archive specific my backup to a specific path of my asm. Can you help me with the command?

Thank you

It should work.

SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION TO '+DG1_FRA/ORCL/tmp';
  RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 1 UNTIL SEQUENCE 100;

Edit: If you have 11g, you can restore your archivelog destination to archive normal and use the command of cp asmcmd copy it where you want.

Copy the RAC ASM RMAN backups
Hi, I have a database (RHEL 5.8) RAC 2 nodes with shared ASM storage. RMAN makes daily backups on this ASM storage too. How could copy backups of the ASM to another place? I use version 10 gr 2 db, and there is no 'cp' command in asmcmd.
How could copy backups of the ASM to another place? I use version 10 gr 2 db, and there is no 'cp' command in asmcmd.

You can use RMAN to do it.

Use the command
```
RMAN>  backup backupset from ... format '' ;
```

Two questions relating to the archive redo logs with RMAN backup
DB version: 11g

I am new to RMAN.

My database is in ARCHIVELOG mode. I intend to make a weekly backup for my db (02:00 every Monday). There will be all the incremental backups between these windows(Monday-to-Monday) of backup that I have would function for retrieving archived redo logs.

Question1.
I want to save the archived logs every day (for example at 23:00). How can I configure that?

These are the configuration setting, that I intend to implement. I don't know how to set up the archive log backup
```
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to redundancy;
configure device type disk parallelism 1;
configure channel 1 device type disk clear;
configure channel 2 device type disk clear;
configure channel 1 device type disk format '/u05/rman1/datafiles/rmnabackup1_%U';
configure channel 2 device type disk format '/u05/rman2/datafiles/rmnabackup2_%U';
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u05/rman1/control_files/rmnabackup1_%U';
```
Question2.
After that a new full backup is taken at 02:00 on Mondays, the archived redo logs accumulated since the last 7 days become unnecessary. How can I automate the removal of the archive redo logs with RMAN?
Archive the log delete them all input command will take the destination of the log archiving log backup archive and delete this destination.

In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence 1 to 100 then will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Monday 23:00).

In the log archive destination he has archived sequence journal 101 to 150 then will he take the backup and remove those in the destination (Tuesday 23:00).

In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence from 151 to 180 so will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Wednesday 10:00).

It will continue like that.

Restoration of 20/25% of the RMAN backup
Hello guys,.

I have a production environment with size terabytes, and I would like to create a new environment of test, but with a small amount of data, so I need to make a hot backup of the database and then restore only 20% to 25% of original data at a new fresh database.
The question is this feasible scenario?, do we not have a particular way to do this?

Thanks for your help!
Mahmoud Darwish.
You can use the SAMPLE when the export parameter, for example:

expdp... SAMPLE = 25

will export 25% of the data.

Restore an archived log RMAN backup
Hello
How to restore an archived log backups RMAN? I watched it here:
http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191.PDF
but can not find.

Thank you.
try something like this...

RMAN > restore archivelog all;

Use below if you know ru seq # for newspaper archive that you want to restore...

RESTORE THE SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28 ARCHIVELOG;

Sorry if you were not looking for it... just throwing ideas out there...

Cold DB RMAN backup & restore on the other server: best procedure?

Hello
A few days ago I did a cold backup of the GR 2 CARS DB 11 with the following commands:
srvctl stop database d DBPOC
RMAN target / < < EOF
bootable media;
run
{
assign the channel c1 type disc format ' / tmp/dump/coldBkp/%T_%d_DBID%I_s%s_p%p.bkp';
backup of database TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOCC' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';
backup current controlfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_CTL' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';
backup spfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_SPF' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';
output channel c1;
}
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
quit smoking;
FO %
srvctl start database-d DBPOC
srvctl start service d DBPOC
Then noticing that I need a copy of controlfile I also did:
backup current controlfile copy format in ' / opt/dump/oracle/coldBkp/currentctlfile.ctl';
He made a set of files in the file/tmp/dump/coldBkp system that I copied to another server, resembling:
20130912_DBPOC_DBID23987234897_s371_p1.BKP... plus my currentctlfile.ctl.
I copied everything on another machine in/tmp/rest, where the same structure of fs and ASM
starts existed; then run the following commands to restore this DB on
This new server:
1 / set some env variables
2 / cp initDBPOC.ora /opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs
3 / sqlplus: Startup nomount pfile=/opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initDBPOC.ora
4 / rman: restoring controlfile to ' / location/of/coldbackup/files/currentctlfile.ctl';
5 / rman: sql 'alter database mount;
6 / rman: catalogue start with "/ location/of/coldbackup/files";
[Type here YES]
7 / rman: restore the database;
8 / sqlplus: recover database using backup controlfile until CANCEL;
[immediately cancelled the first required archive log]
9 / sqlplus: alter database open resetlogs;
The procedure has worked.
But I'm not happy with this, I thought I could have done with RMAN. However, I discovered
e.g. a CONTROLFILE RECOVER with the HELP of BACKUP is not possible with RMAN etc etc.
and I had to swith back to sqlplus, surprisingly.
Am I missing orders RMAN should I used? Y at - it another way - more simple? -of
perform this restore/recovery simple thanks to the RMAN utility only? Or is my error in backup
the first place and I should have used other commands for backup?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give me...
Kind regards

This command is the full backup or a backup of level 0?

full backup as compressed backupset
data include current controlfile more archivelog deletion entry;

We use command below for the full backup of database.
database backup incremental level 0 FORMAT ' / backup/RMAN_Backup/rman_bkp_%U_%d_%T_DATAFILE_LVL0_%D_%M_%Y'
include current controlfile
tag 'datafile_full ';

We use the command below to the increment backup
database backup incremental level 1 FORMAT ' / backup/RMAN_Backup/rman_bkp_%U_%d_%T_DATAFILE_LVL1_%D_%M_%Y'
include current controlfile
tag 'datafile_Incr ';

What is the different when we use
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;

or

full backup as backupset compressed database include controlfile current more archivelog delete all input;

How to restore RMAN backups

Hello
I tried to include works of RMAN Oracle 12 c
If I use the following command, I should have the backuppiece and the archivelog saved in a folder:
RMAN > BACKUP database DATA PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
If I ran this command in 4 different days, which I ended up having 4 folders with different inside files
I guess that, in these files, I have the data files and the archivelogs
Now I move these folders to tape, re-cutting the backups and delete expired
Say that in a month, I need one of these backups if I put a band records and I added start with 'c:\path_of _restored_folder _L', so I added all files in the folder that I restored from tape
Now, if I try to restore the basis of all is well but when I run the recover, it is missing some archiving logs it says
If I put all the files for 4 days then he finds the archivelog she needs and pick up without problem
on this basis I understand that in the folder containing a backuppiece of a specific day there is the newspaper of archive that I needed to recover from the DB, is that true? How can I know if the backups folder I need to replace in order to have all the required log archiving?
At the moment my DB retrieves only if I handed out the Ribbon last backup folder, if I handed out the previous, it restores, but is not recover
Also I have this configuration of the oracle recovery 3 days window maintains backups in order to be able to restore and recover the last 3 days and he simply deletes all obsolete if the FRA is full
I tried earlier to set up the window of 3 days as a test recovery
I ran a few backups and after that I ran the 5th FRA leak out of space and the backup fails
I expect rman to remove the old backup and make way for a new that I have 5 backuppiece and the FRA is full, why he not do?
Thank you

The default behavior of RECOVER is to make a full recovery - right until the transactions today. So it must all archivelogs.

If you want to restore and recover to a point in time, use the SET clause to THAT specify a sequence of the newspaper or time or SNA. Oracle will then not get beyond that point in time - that is to say he will not seek further archiving logs.

(Ideally, when you restore an old backup, I also begins to restore the old controlfile, then using this controlfile).

If you use the FRA in this way

a. set db_recovery_file_dest_size and db_recovery_file_dest

b. * not * used a FORMAT clause in the BACKUP command

Oracle will recognize all backups in the FRA (you can check by querying V$ FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE before and after the backup).

In this case, Oracle can and will automatically purge outdated backups - that is to say any backup older than the retention period, provided that there is at least a L0 or backup complete closest to the retention period. You should see messages to this effect in the alert of the instance database log file.

Pull on the RMAN backup archive logs?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris
Physical standby
I have a gap of journal archive at the moment. The missing archive logs have been saved on the primary and have not yet been transferred to waiting due to some maintenance work performed on the standby server.
The database will be able to recognize that the missing archivelog files are in the RMAN backup files, restore them and send them to the update server standby for application?
If not, will it restore manually, copy them to the standby server and save them for their application?
Thanks a lot for your help!
-gary

Were the archivelogs deleted on the primary once they have been saved? If they have been deleted on the primary, then you can:

1 manually transfer the backup to forward files

2 replace the archivelog destination configured on the eve

3 restart the managed recovery on the standby process, and the computer should be able to detect and apply the missing archivelogs.

If they have not been deleted on the primary and are always available in the archivelog directory configured, then the process of Data Guard should be able to detect and automatically fix the gap.

If you have a long interval archivelogs missing and you use + ASM, you can also try to use an incremental backup to roll forward the database pending, this article provides a good step by step: the steps for Rolling forward a standby database using RMAN incremental backup. (Doc ID 836986.1)

Archive newspaper vs. Full Backup Concept

Hello

I just need some clarification on how backups and Archives Records work. Lets say from 13:00 I have archive records 1,2,3,4,5 and then I perform a full backup at 18:00.

I take then generate logs archiving at 18:00 to get newspapers 6,7,8,9,10. Then, I stop at 23:00.

If my interpretation is correct, the archive logs should allow me to restore oracle to a point in time anywhere between 13:00 and 23:00. But if I have only the full backup, then I can only restore to a single point, which is from 18:00. My understanding is correct?

Archive logs only applied to data files during backup or only during a restore? There is no archive newspaper applied on the fly.

Thanks in advance.

thelok wrote:
Thanks for the great explanation! If I can do a restore time to any time point since the data changed files have been written (or when I have the last set of data files backed up more archive logs). What you say, I can force the data files to write about recovery logs (by a control point with 'alter set archive current log' or 'backup database more archivelog'), and then I can delete all archive logs have an SCN less than the SNA control point on the data files. Is this true? It would be for the purpose of preservation of disk space.

In the example above, I could before running Backup "archivelog all delete" because they are not necessary, but as an example, I followed this unnecessarily. (archivelog backup and deletion after)

Waiting for redo log file missing when restore main database using RMAN backup that was taken on the database physical standby

Here's my question after tons of research and test without have the right solutions.
Target:
(1) I have a 12.1.0.2 database unique main enterprise 'testdb' as database instance running on the server "node1".
(2) I created physical standby database "stbydb" on the server "node2".
(3) DataGuard running on the mode of MaxAvailability (SYNC) with roll forward in real time 12 default c apply.
(4) primary database has 3 groups of one-man redo. (/oraredo/testdb/redo01.log redo02.log redo03.log)
(5) I've created 4 standby redo logfiles (/oraredo/testdb/stby01.log stby02.log stby03.log stby04.log)
(6) I do RMAN backup (database and archivelog) on the site of relief only.
(7) I want to use this backup for full restore of the database on the primary database.
He is a DR test to simulate the scenario that has lost every primary & Eve total servers.
Here is how to save, on the database pending:
(1) performance 'alter database recover managed standby database Cancel' to ensure that compatible data files
(2) RMAN > backup database;
(3) RMAN > backup archivelog all;
I got elements of backup and copied to primary db Server something like:
/Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq099p_.BKP (data files)
/Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.BKP (spfile & controlfile)
/Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_annnn_TAG20151002T133357_c0xq15xf_.BKP (archivelogs)
So here's how to restore, on the main site:
I clean all the files (data files, controlfiles oder all gone).
(1) restore spfile from pfile
RMAN > startup nomount
RMAN > restore spfile from pfile ' / home/oracle/pfile.txt' to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';
(2) modify pfile to convert to db primary content. pFile shows below
*.audit_file_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB/admin/testdb/adump '
* .audit_trail = "db".
* full = '12.1.0.2.0'
*.control_files='/oradata/testdb/control01.ctl','/orafra/testdb/control02.ctl'
* .db_block_size = 8192
* .db_domain = "
*.db_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'
* .db_name = "testdb".
* .db_recovery_file_dest ='/ orafra'
* .db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10737418240
* .db_unique_name = "testdb".
*.diagnostic_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB '
* .fal_server = "stbydb".
* .log_archive_config = 'dg_config = (testdb, stbydb)'
* .log_archive_dest_2 = "service = stbydb SYNC valid_for = (ONLINE_LOGFILE, PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name = stbydb'"
* .log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'ENABLE '.
*.log_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'
* .memory_target = 1800 m
* .open_cursors = 300
* runoff = 300
* .remote_login_passwordfile = "EXCLUSIVE."
* .standby_file_management = "AUTO".
* .undo_tablespace = "UNDOTBS1.
(3) restart db with updated file pfile
SQLPLUS > create spfile from pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt'
SQLPLUS > the judgment
SQLPLUS > startup nomount
(4) restore controlfile
RMAN > restore primary controlfile to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';
RMAN > change the editing of the database
(5) all elements of backup catalog
RMAN > catalog starts by ' / home/oracle/backupset / '.
(6) restore and recover the database
RMAN > restore database;
RMAN > recover database until the SNA XXXXXX; (this YVERT is the maximum in archivelog backups that extends beyond the scn of the backup of the data file)
(7) open resetlogs
RMAN > alter database open resetlogs;
Everything seems perfect, except one of the file log roll forward pending is not generated
SQL > select * from v$ standby_log;
ERROR:
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log ' / oraredo/testdb/stby01.log'
ORA-27037: unable to get file status
Linux-x86_64 error: 2: no such file or directory
Additional information: 3
no selected line
I intended to use the same backup to restore primary basic & helps record traffic and the downtime between them in the world of real output.
So I have exactly the same steps (except STANDBY restore CONTROLFILE and not recover after database restore) to restore the database pending.
And I got the same missing log file.
The problem is:
(1) complete alert.log filled with this error, not the concern here
(2) now repeat it in real time apply won't work since the Party shall LGWR shows always "WAITING_FOR_LOG."
(3) I can't delete and re-create this log file
Then I tried several and found:
The missing standby logfile was still 'ACTIVE' at present RMAN backup was made.
For example, on db standby, under Group #4 (stby01.log) would be lost after the restoration.
SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;
GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
4 19 ACTIVE 133632
5 0 0 UNASSIGNED
6 0 0 not ASSIGNED
7 0 0 UNASSIGNED
So until I take the backup, I tried on the primary database:
SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = delay;
This was the Group of standby_log side Eve #4 was released:
SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;
GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
4 0 0 UNASSIGNED
5 0 0 UNASSIGNED
6 0 0 not ASSIGNED
7 0 0 UNASSIGNED
Then, the backup has been restored correctly without missing standby logfile.
However, to change this primary database means break DataGuard protection when you perform the backup. It's not accept on the production environment.
Finally, my real questions come:
(1) what I do may not do on parameter change?
(2) I know I can re-create the control file to redo before delete and then recreate after. Is there any simple/fast to avoid the standby logfile lost or recreate the lost one?
I understand that there are a number of ways to circumvent this. Something to keep a copy of the log file waiting restoration progress and copy up one missing, etc, etc...
And yes I always have done no real-time applies "to the aid of archived logfile" but is also not accept mode of protection of production.
I just want proof that the design (which is displayed in a few oracle doc Doc ID 602299.1 is one of those) that backs up data backup works effectively and can be used to restore the two site. And it may be without spending more time to resume backups or put the load on the primary database to create the database before.
Your idea is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello

1--> when I take via RMAN backup, RMAN does not redo log (ORL or SRL) file, so we cannot expect ORLs or SRL would be restored.

2nd--> when we opened the ORL database should be deleted and created

3rd--> Expecting, SRL should not be an issue.we should be able to do away with the fall.

If you do, you can recreate the controlfile without waiting for redo log entry...

If you still think it's something is not acceptable, you must have SR with support to analyze why he does not abandon SRL when controlfile_type is "underway".

Thank you
