• 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

  You can restore the backup files to any location, then you must configure the channel using the "CONFIGURE CHANNEL device type disk format 'new location ';

  Tychos said, why not use command DUPLICATE RMAN DATABASE to create the clone of the database?

  Anyway, you can easily restore the database on the new host using the steps mentioned in this link:

• How to restore Rman backups on a different when the structured directory node

  Dear all,
  
  Have no doubt the concept of backup RMAN restore on another node, I practice one to restore an RMAN backup, I'm following Oracle Metalink ID: 419137.1
  
  I'm totally confused when I went through the step 9 in this document
  
  
  It is:
  

  9) rename the Redologfiles, so that they can be created in the new locations of the opening of the database is open in resetlogs

  SQL > alter database file rename ' / * node1/database/prod/redo01.log*' to ' / * node2/database/prod/redo01.log*';

  My doubt is: I restore it in a new empty database, already have redo logs and other files in the folder oradata, above mentioned document said to rename!
  I need to rename, how to rename, according to the above statement SQL node1 is a non-existent node, we only saw his backup tracks only. If I rename as the statement above, this I have to give the old location where the redo log was before, or I can give the name, (yes I know it is a logical representation not a physics).
  
  Someone explain how to represent this log redo my new database.
  
  
  Thank you and best regards,

• 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.

• Can I plug in (food) a tablespace, RMAN backup in another DB?

  11.2.0.3/AIX 6.1
  
  We accidentally dropped a DB development without taking the last backup expdp of a basic scheme. All objects on this schema belong to the single tablespace and we have this tablespace RMAN backup. Is there anyway we could recreate this pattern by restoring the backup tablespace in a different database?

  Yes.

  Use the function/method of TRANSPORT TABLESPACE:

  http://Oracle.Su/docs/11g/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta2021.htm

  See also sys.dbms_tts.transport_set_check

  RMAN> transport tablespace emp_data, emp_data2
             tablespace destination '/u01/app/oracle/oradata'
             auxiliary destination '/u04/app/oracle/oradata';
  

  If you need to check your endian use this query format:

  SELECT
    PLATFORM_NAME,
    ENDIAN_FORMAT
  FROM
    V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM;

  You must use the VALUE of NEWNAME if you do a RESTORE RMAN.

• NetBackup settings when restoring from tape to another server

  DB version: 11.2.0.2 / Solaris 10
  
  Media management layer: Symantec Netbackup v7
  
  Production server: qualmh214
  Prod DB name: NEHPROD
  
  We take our prod database backup using a similair script on the bottom
  

  run
  {
       ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
       SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman, NB_ORA_SERV=hlsngt238, NB_ORA_SCHED=Weekly';
       backup incremental level 0 database tag='NEHPROD_full' plus archivelog ;
       backup format  'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' ;
  }

  We have a test server:

  dreyth169

  Each week, we need to clone the Prod DB above from its last level 0 backup stored on the Ribbon.
  
  
  We have installed Symantec netbackup on our test server.
  
  To restore with RMAN, in execution block for restoration, the NB_ORA_CLIENT should not be the test server name dreyth169 ? That is to say. If we keep NB_ORA_CLIENT = qualmh214 (production server), then RMAN will do the restore to the PROD. Right? It would be a disaster.
  
  What NB_ORA_POLICY to the test server? I should create new policy NB_ORA_POLICY for my test server?

  Hello;

  Yes, for example, if you were doing a RMAN duplicate you would set it to: (very similar operation)

  NB_ORA_CLIENT = serveur_cible

  I should create new policy NB_ORA_POLICY for my test server?

  This is how I would do it. It can work without it however.

  Since you are using oracle 11.2 another option is "Active Database Duplication" If your database is not too large and you have the speed of the network decent and some off peak hours once a week, I would consider it.
  I used it with great success and you can easily script on Unix/Linux. If the remote host has the same Directory Structure that become even easier. With a couple of INIT files and a script on the remote cleanup, it becomes a hole. Given that the work will take place on the remote control you can avoid conflicts with your backups RMAN.

• Retrieve a data file from a backup on another server

  Hi all
  
  I usually take backup hot data files to a different like that server because I don't have enough space in the same server. I have
  
  SQL > alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
  SCP/bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX host [email protected]: / db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
  alter tablespace end OPS backup;
  
  If I want to recover the datafile can I normally do the drop offline from the data file and copy the backup data file that is located in differnet thorugh scp server and check the online data file? and the database is in archivelog mode, but I dislike abt log files. I just need to recover the data file as the last backup.
  or do we have to use all the controls recover datafile? If need to use everything recover datafile command go where it will recover the data file?
  
  I have not any backup or restore script, I just manually PCs from data files.
  
  Help please, thanks in advance...

  It is a ' user backups managed by "in the terminology of the Oracle.
  The database does not care how you copy (backup or restore) the data file from a backup location. So, you can use scp to copy the backup to the backup file.
  HOWEVER , you can recover only a datafile to the single point of the backup. Given that the rest of the database (i.e. all the other data files) have advanced further, you must RETRIEVE the DATA file and apply all ArchiveLogs since this backup of data file point to the current point (i.e. recovery would be until it again online that would apply automatically).
  Therefore, if you have had the "transactions" (e.g. deletions) against this tablespace, they will be replayed.

• Trying to retrieve the RMAN backup in another data base (another physical machine

  Hello!
  
  I am trying to restore to a different machine with a different database. I created the database with the same SID, but the computer name is different from the other. All I wish to recover is the user data file and the main data file that clients use. I could not find the right way to do outside forums. Someone would be able to offer assistance?
  
  I did an INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 CUMULATIVE database BACKUP; on node 1 and transferred the wallet and backups from node 1 to node 2.
  
  Any help would be appreciated! :)
  
  Thank you!

  but the dbid can be different. This is the error.

  You may need to restore the controfile of these backups first before you can restore files.

  in this case to do that:

  Start the db2 as nomount with your pfile file instance

  then
  RMAN target /;

  RMAN > RESTORE CONTROLFILE 'filename '; -"the file name is backups that you have copied the disk."

  can do the

  backup from the list; If the controlfile is restored then the info should be there already if not then you can make the order of catalog again recovery area.

• Restore the Rman backup in a database to a different database

  I want to restore a machine (RMAN) backup to another machine with a different instance name. I want to keep the target database instance name.
  
  a machine has instance PROD, I take rman backup "PROD" A machine instance and to restore that backup to the machine B which has an instance 'UAT '. I want to restore the backup of "PROD" instance for instance 'UAT', the two are on a different node, please help me how can I achieve it.

  Why do you think there could be a conflict?

  In addition, the steps that I pointed out are rename restored PROD to UAT the last step.

  When you use RMAN to RESTORE and RECOVER a database, the DBID and DB_NAME should be the same as it was when the backup was performed. The Instance_Name (ORACLE_SID) may be different.
  The DB_NAME can be changed after the RECOVERY is complete.

  The DBNEWID Utility Oracle (program name 'nest' in $ORACLE_HOME/bin) should be used to change the DB_NAME of PROD to UAT on your UAT server, once the RESTORE is complete.
