Creating a database with only the RMAN backup

Hello

I have a full backup of a database (10.2.0.1) of 10g RMAN in RHEL5 server. This backup has only the backup piece does not SP. and the control file. I want to create a new database with this backup in a new server. Is this possible? How to go further?

Kind regards

Hello

Refer to this that you can take a look at this http://shivanandarao.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/duplicating-primary-database-to-a-new-host-without-connecting-to-the-primary-database-in-oracle-10g11g/

RMAN automatically backup spfile and controlfile in the backup of the data file 1 (SYSTEM datafile). So you can restore them from the backup piece which is to have the file system data.

  • recover the database by using the RMAN backup archivelogs

    Hello

    I tried to find the resolution of this problem in google a lot but couldn't find something useful.

    Location:

    We try to clone the dev environment of production that are completely on different servers and do not share a common mount point.
    Backup RMAN of PROD with RMAN as well as arch newspapers are kept in this mount point.
    We took control of backup files of PROD restored in DEV fired restore with recovery until a when not.
    Turns out that the sequence was not saved in right backupsets there if recovery has not requested more arch newspapers that are present in the PROD.
    Archs are stored in ASM and only way out is to take of RMAN backup of them.
    We control the file as a repository for RMAN.

    my questions are

    1. surely, I need to take backup of the control file after I take the log arch by RMAN backup and restore this file command in the DEV of so that when I start RMAN recovery in DEV, database will be able to find the backupset with arch newspapers. But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?

    2. If we did not have a point of common Assembly and then after sending the backup destination elements how the database would be the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source?

    Suppose that in the source backups are stored in/backup/rman
    in destination copy us in/backup/clone
    in the PROD control file, their locations are saved in/backup/rman
    so if I restore this command file in custom DEV it find the elements of backup in/backup/rman?
    is it possible to save a backup of outside item in the control of a database file?


    3 al ' ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance? (sending of newspapers without DR)

    The help is very appreciated.

    Kind regards

    1. .... But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?

    N ° provided that you do not have renamed, moved or abandoned any of the data files that were already copied in DEV. (also, subject that you did not add da new Production data between two backups - otherwise the new controlfile file will wait as datafile also to be present at DEV).
    You will do an incomplete recovery until a certain SNA / sequence # if information subsequent archivelogs beyond your point of recovery in the controlfile are redundant. In addition, a RESETLOGS would be done when you OPEN the database.

    2... how to know the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source database?

    What is the order CATALOG. In 9i, CATALOGUE could only of catalog datafilecopy. In 10g and more, you can BackupPieces CATALOGUER. Thus, it would "update" the controlfile (which is the RMAN Repository) with information about the BackupPieces that are present in a replacement / new location.
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230

    3. ... ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance?

    According to the version you are using, ASMCMD has a 'cp' command to copy the files from the DSO for the operating system. However, you cannot use ASM to apply directly the archivelogs. You always use the 'RECOVER' of RMAN or SQL command line command.

  • How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog?

    Hello

    How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog? I mean RMAN prompt or sqlplus is it possible to know.

    Thank you

    You're welcome my friend

    You can see them using two methods.

    as I mentioned above, you can see them connect to the catalog database and you can query using the view that I sent

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV89601

    the other method is the list command, you must use the list command after connecting using rman "rman target / catalog cat_user/cat_pass@catdbtns" command

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV8136

    Check the value of the control_file_record_keep_time parameter. The default value is 7 days. in the output of the list command, if you can see the old backups to the value, you must be sure that the backup information comes from the catalogue database

    SELECT * FROM parameter $ v where name = 'control_file_record_keep_time '.

    an example of command list

    the list of completed database before backup ' sysdate-10'.

  • Restore the RMAN backup on another server

    Hello

    ENV: Oracle 10 g 2 64 bit, RHEL 5.8 64 bit on ASM, Database size = ~ 1.3 to

    Backup RMAN of PROD will FRA and then backed up to tape. I have limited access to the PROD because it is maintained by 3rd party.

    My client is planning to move this database on their own datacenter (from the 3rd party data center). For test purposes, I asked DBA of 3rd party to provide us with an export of drawings required data pump. Export takes about 8 hours, and the import takes the same time to the new location. To copy the files exported to new locations takes another few hours (over the network). The total size of the dump file is around 500 GB. Thus, a whole cycle of Export-Import-copy takes about ~ 20 + Hrs.

    I want to try another option to reduce the time required for the updating of the database of PROD and which is "use RMAN backup of PROD ' and restore it on the data center server. RMAN full backup takes ~ 4hrs PROD and the restoration should be at the same time (new server has better and faster HW, storage with a SSD). I found this thread very useful on the Oracle Forms on this topic:

    Restore backup RMAN on another server

    This thread contains very good example for a restoration of database on the file system.

    I have a bit of confusion because my database uses ASM. The default location of the backups in PROD is FRA (on ASM == > db_recovery_file_dest = + FRA ). If I understand correctly, the RMAN backup must be in the same place where he was on the PROD Server - i.e. the diskgroup FRA.

    If I get a copy of the part 3 RMAN backup, how would I copy on FRA?

    OR can / should I just change the init parameter "db_recovery_file_dest" on the new server to point to the file system directory where the backup (say "/ ora_backup") and RMAN will pick up and restore the database?

    Please advise!

    Best regards

    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)

  • Switch journal during the RMAN backup

    10g is desupported for a long time.
    Your question is you backup to a network drive.
    The solution provided by Donald Burleson is correct.
    Why the site no longer works is not clear that you provide no error message, or whatever.
    Course, a simple solution would be to buy an extra drive to connect directly to the server.
    Your post is poorly understood why you plan to implement that.
    Also, your statement on the test server is far too vague. You did not yet provide no error message.

  • Error creating of databases - cannot load the library backend "oci.dll.

    Hi all

    The command failed.


    Can someone provide pointers to solve this problem?

    It is perfectly possible to use TimesTen as a stand-alone datbase without a backend Oracle database. TimesTen is a comprehensive database full and includes the persistence and the HA according to the needs. Many customers use TimesTen in this way. To do this, you must:

    1. to install time only install the abd TimesTen IMDB do not install TimesTen IMCD (in-memory database cache) option.

    2. in the configuration data store (s), do not include in your ODBC attributes everything related to implementing caching Oracle.

    3. understand that while TimesTen can act as a cache for oracle data and supports much of the same SQL etc. Oracle, there also a lot of differences from oracle. Such a difference is that TimesTen does not have the various V$ tables Oracle's. When you use TimesTen you yourself need to restrict things that supports the TimesTen.

    From what you say, it seems that your MacBook fans work as usual (and unfortunately), and 60ºC is a good temperature for a MacBook Pro, so I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your Mac. Note that the temperature may also depend on what websites visit you and complete what they use. for example, Java and Flash Player increases CPU utilization and the battery, and this, temperature.

    In addition, note that your MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, and it can quickly become hot even if you don't do any heavy task. This does not mean that there is nothing wrong with it

  • How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    This just started happening the last two days.  I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.

    It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site.  The same thing happens on a site of sports too.

    Important: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.
