Duplicate RMAN

• RMAN or duplicate RMAN restore

  Hello

  I have a node of RAC 3 11 GR 2 ASM on Windows 2008 and want to migrate on linux with a case only, no cars, but also with the ASM.

  It was my idea, remove a node from the cluster and install Oracle Linux, then 11.2.0.3 software.

  But I need to get the database on this new linux server, and I thought to restore the most recent backup CARS db

  on the linux server, then turn on the DG and synchronize the linux server.

  Once synchronization is complete, disconect DG and continue testing.

  But I've heard maybe use rman duplicate would be better.

  What are your comments, what would you choose to achieve this migration?

  Thank you

  You can have a physical standby database set up on top of the linux machine and back it. In this way, you can perform the migration with minimal downtime.

  Also try to see what how to migrate has huge ASM database of Windows 64 bit for Linux 64-bit with low minimum time? (Doc ID 1371759.1)

• Duplicate RMAN with specific backup location

  Hello

  I explain here my architecture:

  -Server Oracle 11.2.0.4 production: prod db with the instance name PROD with RMAN backups on the F: drive

  -Test the Oracle 11.2.0.4 Server: test-db with the instance name TEST with RMAN backups on the F: drive and production available on the G: drive backup drive

  -Customer name: customer

  My goal is to reproduce the production server to the test server instance and I can't achieve this goal. The connection is client-side.

  I do it like this:

  -startup nomount TEST

  -On the client, run the following "rman target sys/pass@PROD auxiliary sys/pass@TEST.

  Then in RMAN, I run the following:

  RUN

  {

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch01 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch02 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  DUPLICATE THE DATABASE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BACKUP TEST "G:\RMAN";

  }

  RMAN does not see my "LOCATION of BACKUP" command because it tries to reproduce the F: drive and can't find the backup files.

  I have the thing like this:

  CH01 channel: reading of the element of backup F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00

  CH01 channel: ORA-19870: error when restoring full backup, F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00

  ORA-19505: impossible to identify the file "F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00 '

  ORA-27041: could not open the file

  04002 - OSD: could not open the file

  S/O-error: (OS 2) the system cannot find the file specified.

  Single quote, double quote, tried almost everything and RMAN always look for the backup in the F: drive. Can you help me to use the G: drive?

  And at the beginning of this thread someone told me not to connect to the target database.

  You use the clauses unwanted duplicating without connecting to the target database. SPFILE clause is not necessary, but you seem to use it in the block of the RACE.

  Create a simple PFILE with all the parameters required for the auxiliary instance, startup nomount and run the duplicate.

  Also worth db_file_name_convert log_file_name_convert parameters in the PFILE to the auxiliary instance file, run the duplicate.

  run

  {

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch01 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch02 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  DUPLICATE THE DATABASE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BACKUP TEST "G:\RMAN";

  output channel ch01.

  output channel ch02;

  }

  Provide static record side AUXILIARY for your auxiliary instance, then try again. For example, edit listener.ora as

  SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
      (SID_DESC =
        (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
        (ORACLE_HOME = )

    )
  

  And restart the receiver on the auxiliary host and try again

• Another issue duplicate RMAN - RAC database to single instance

  Hello
  
  I have a problem with RMAN duplicate procedure and hoped that someone can help you.
  
  I would like to create a duplicate of our data base RAC production on a separate and autonomous, database on another site server. This duplicate will be used to execute queries to another business unit that I don't want to have access to our database of intensive production.
  
  My procedure goes like this:
  
  1. create a (not ASM) disk based backup data files and recovery logs archived:
  
  'run {} '.
  allocate channel d1 type disk;
  backup format ' / u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database more entered archivelog delete;
  output channel d1;
  }"
  
  2 tar and scp those files to the same location on the standalone database server.
  
  3. in the meantime, work that's happened on the basis of data production and other archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these papers for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to replicate to the point of the last backup. I have to do this, run the following SQL to determine the sequence number should I be duplicating up to:
  
  "Select max(sequence#) thread # v $ archived_log, whereas the deleted = 'YES' group by thread #;"
  
  4 duplicate the production to the stand-alone database database (SQL Net work orders).
  
  'run {} '.
  until the sequence (the value returned by the SQL statement above);
  duplicate target database xxx;
  }"
  
  However, my problem because I don't know how to handle the fact that he has two sons. I understand that each thread relates to one of the CARS, I don't know which one to specify the copy. We have a service of data that the client application connects through, and that the service runs on any of the bodies. I should just care about newspapers in the instance where the service is running?
  
  AM I even approach that this is the right way?
  
  I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.
  
  Kind regards

  You must use the VALUE until and specify the sequence with the next lowest change, or RMAN will search for the next log in this thread.

  for example, if you specify until the thread in the sequence 9750 1; RMAN will search journal 7933 on thread2 to catch the 1 wire SNA 569259816.
  Specify the set as a thread in 7933 2 sequence; and two copies must go ok!

  Hi, Tom.

  When SQL * more variable substitution resolves, it puts the string you gave as value (ORCL4 for example) instead of the string representing the name (& dbname, for example). East exaclty what you could do using the Replace function in a text editor: nothing more.
  After SQL * more substituted for these channels, it send s the text changed the database to be compiled. So, where you coded:

  dbname varchar2(9) := &dbname;
  

  is that it sends to compile

  dbname varchar2(9) := ORCL4;
  

  in other words, it looks like a variable on the side right of the: = sign.

  You must provide quotes:

  dbname varchar2(9) := '&dbname';
  

• RMAN duplicate for standby the active database and the missing data files

  We have a car of 2 node ASM 11 GR 2 and 11.1 of database and a standby with ASM also. Our database is relatively low (300 GB)

  and in one recent event the day before was such a departure from the primary that we decided to "repopulate" the data using duplicate RMAN.

  I deleted the data files of the previous day and followed the Oracle documentation to duplicate a database. In the waiting

  I created a static listener and a pfile containing only the essential information (db_unique_name). I started the day before with nomount using the 'empty' pfile.

  I run RMAN, connected to the target and ancillary catalogues and run this command:

  run {
  allocate channel prmy1 type disk;
  allocate channel prmy2 type disk;
  allocate channel prmy3 type disk;
  allocate channel prmy4 type disk;
  allocate channel prmy5 type disk;
  allocate auxiliary channel stby1 type disk;
  duplicate target database for standby from active database nofilenamecheck;
  }
  

  RMAN duplication completed without errors, so I started the rescue database and got

  an error saying that datafile XXX is missing. I checked XXX datafile at the primary level

  and it is in a DISCONNECTED state. In the standby database the same data file is in the online state.

  So I think the problem is that during the duplication, RMAN (as documentation States) does not work

  Copy the files of data in offline mode, but the standby control file seem to think that these data files

  are online and should be present.

  Can someone please help me solve this problem? From my understanding, I could just copy the missing persons

  data files (there are many however) and in the standby go offline, but I don't think it's

  the right solution, edit this file for control of the standby? I would add another option

  in the RMAN script?

  Take the data file in offline mode on the site of the previous day.

  I don't think that two COPIES try to manage separately offline files.

• File Rename on rman duplicate

  Oracle 11.2.0.2 a 64 bits

  Oracle Linux 5.6 x 86-64

  I had never considered the issue.  When you perform a database duplicate rman without NEWNAME parameter in view, how rman knows how to set the new names?  There is something more than just the init parm "db_create_file_dest.

  The installation program:

  Server SRVPRD,

  • -Instance ASM
  • -DBPRD database, has the files start SAN and SMALL

  Server SRVDEV

  • -Instance ASM
  • -DBSTG database, files has start, LARGE and SMALL
  • -DBDEV database, has the files start DEV_LARGE and DEV_SMALL

  On SRVDEV shell script to replicate DBPRD on DBSTG.   Script FTP backups rman SRVPRD, stops the instance DBSTG, deletes all its files using the asmcmd commands, and then performs the following:

  echo 'connect catalog rman/***@rmcat' > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo 'connection target sys/***@srvprd' > > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo "auxiliary connection /" > > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo "run {}" > > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo ' (together until the time \"to_date(''date + %Y-%m-% 12:38:00 ',' YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')"; "> > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo "database target double DBSTGVB;"    > > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  echo "} ' > > /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman < /backup/dbstgvb/dbstgvb_refresh.rman

  It works perfectly and the files that were in the + SAN diskgroup prod are properly placed in + BIG, and the files that were in + SMALL are well-placed in + SMALL.

  Now a new requirement to begin to do the same for DBDEV.  Make a copy of the script and change all references from DBSTG to DBDEV. Equivalent changes in the chain of asmcmd commands delete files, specifying the groups good specific disk.

  With this one, instead of mapping of groups files two disc DBPRD to the two starts in DBDEV, they all get in the group one discs + DEV_SMALL.

  On DBSTG, we see

  SQL > show parameter db_create_file_dest

  VALUE OF TYPE NAME

  ------------------------------------ ----------- ----------------------------

  db_create_file_dest chain + SMALL

  
  

  and the log replication rman output includes the following:

  mounted database

  content of Script memory:

  {

  until the SNA 2984496.

  the value of newname for datafile 1 to

  "+ SMALL/dbstgvb/system01.dbf";

  the value of newname for datafile 5 to

  the value of newname for datafile 6 to

  "+ LARGE/dbstgvb/dw_tbs1.dbf";

  restoration

  clone database

  ;

  }

  execution of Script memory

  
  

  See us on DBDEV

  SQL > show parameter db_create_file_dest

  VALUE OF TYPE NAME

  ------------------------------------ ----------- ----------------------------

  db_create_file_dest string + DEV_SMALL

  and the log replication rman output includes the following:

  mounted database

  content of Script memory:

  {

  until the SNA 2984496.

  the value of newname for datafile clone 1 again;

  the value of newname for datafile clone 2 again.

  the value of newname for datafile clone 3 again.

  the value of newname for datafile clone 4 new ones;

  the value of newname for datafile clone 5 again.

  the value of newname for datafile clone 6 again.

  restoration

  clone database

  ;

  }

  execution of Script memory

  So, Miss me exactly how that in the replication of DBSTG, it is able to identify correctly the files coming from prod diskgroup THAT correctly mapped SAN to diskgroup WHOLESALE? And further, why this mechanism did not work to map at + DEV_LARGE during replication to DBDEV.  In DBDEV it seems to be controlled entirely by the db_create_file_dest, but in DBSTG it seems to be something that I'm missing that allows the greater complexity of mapping two starts.

  > Make a copy of the script and change all references from DBSTG to DBDEV

  What was the script and what were the references 'all' that have been changed?

  The behavior in DBDEV is what I expected.

  If the difference boils down to what had coded you in your script and db_create_file_dest.  You happen to have configured thus db_file_name_convert?

• Configuring the listener pending side before running the RMAN DUPLICATE

  Version: 11.2.0.3
  Platfomrm: Solaris 10
  
  We will create a DB physical standby for our primary database using RMAN Duplicate.
  
  Our primary DB details

  DB_NAME          = ADPTGMS
  DB_UNIQUE_NAME     = ADPTGMS

  Names for standby

  DB_NAME          = ADPTGMS
  DB_UNIQUE_NAME     = ADPTGMSDG

  Question1.
  Next to the day before, before I run the duplicate RMAN, I need so that it starts the empty instance in NOMOUNT State. Right? Can I configure export ORACLE_SID DB_NAME or DB_UNIQUE_NAME?
  
  Question2.
  
  
  I understand that it is a precondition not to have the listener towards the top pending side make the RMAN Duplicate (otherwise how RMAN will connect to the dummy instance in the side standy)
  Next to Eve, there is no DB turns again. But for the RMAN to connect to the Instance of a model, I configured and started a listener as shown below. Is this really?

  Hello

  The link I gave in my previous post features a display of very good example:

  Primary:

  Pfile/Spfile name: initprim.ora/spfileprim.ora
  db_name=prim
  db_unique_name=prim
  

  Standby time:

  Pfile/Spfile name: initstnd.ora/spfilestnd.ora
  db_name=prim
  db_unique_name=stnd
  

  In your case:

  While adding a static entry to the listener of the day before, SID_NAME should be the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database pending. Also the pfile/spfile Eve must be associated with the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the previous day.

  The pending database ORACLE_SID would be the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database pending. Hope that's clear!

  Kind regards

  Hello
  on 10 gR2 we can duplicate RMAN backup using SET until WHAT TIME?
  I mean, for example, can I duplicate from the backups from January 22 (my backups 22 Jan and 23, 24, until the first of February are available).
  
  If backups are on tape we should do something more?
  Thank you.

  We do the backup RMAN NOCATALOG option. Duplication would work in this case too?

  Rep. : So, you do not use a recovery catalog database. Yes it will work.

• Doubts to duplicate a RMAN database on another test server

  Hello
  
  DB: 10.2.0.4
  Operating system: Aix 5.3 L
  
  I have the single server database and I want to duplicate other test server (AIX 5.3) database (10.2.0.4).
  
  My questions are,
  
  1) I'll have to take backup RMAN in Production , and then a move to the Test Server?.
  
  2) in the Test Server , I duplicate RMAN connection and database creation reason as follows.
  
  RMAN TARGET SYS/xxx@test SYS/xxx@PROD ASSISTANT
  
  RUN
  {
  allocate channel c1 DEVICE TYPE disk;
  DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE to test nofilenamecheck. # test is my database to the TEST Server
  }
  
  The steps above from RMAN will work without RMAN backup in the TEST Server? If not, then how can create the database test without backup RMAN duplicate?
  
  
  
  My main problem is that I have enough disk space in my production server is saved and my database size is 3TO. My database is on ASM.
  
  
  I really like, if I have no response.
  
  Thank you
  Therese

  Yes, database of target duplicate of the active database is available 11 g.

  For 10g, you will need to take backup of primary education and take it all to the test and database duplicated just run.

  Hope that helped u :)

  Mark it as answered and close the question if answered :)

• RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE RESULT IN A RE - ORG

  Database Version 10.2.0.4
  
  When I perform a duplicate database RMAN is the new database completely reorganized? The new database can be any fragmentation or water marks high if the source database has done?
  
  Thank you

  The answer to your question is no duplicate RMAN does not cause a re - org, RMAN is a block of files of database level backup, RMAN duplicate is a double level of a data block. Therefore, duplicate RMAN is fundamentally a restoration of the source database, because it is in another location and an instance of the database and the database name change.
