RMAN - Catalog and ControlFile Recovery

Similar Questions

• Catalog vs controlfile recovery... ID of the database

  Oracle 11 g 2 Linux RHEL6
  
  I was wondering why recovery catalog will allow you to store backups of databases have the same DBID, but will the controlfile?
  
  I mean it makes sense why recovery catalog gives you the ' RMAN-20004: name of the target database does not match the name in the recovery catalog ' error in the case, but why the controlfile has no problem with that?
  
  I was wondering.
  
  Thank you.

  OK;

  Think of the global catalog database and the local clone database control file. As the control file is local to the clone database it can store information it wishes to without conflict.

  Control of the clone database file is private to this base, the DBID can be the same without conflict.

  The catalog database is not private, so a DBID duplicate is a conflict. (Public to other databases in your system)

  Who help me?

• RMAN catalog 11 GR 2 Update Catalog RMAN-06429

  Hi all
  
  I have databases oracle 11 GR 1 material and GR 11, 2 in use.
  Last time I would upgrade the catalog with 'Upgrade catalog' database to backup databases the new 11 GR 2.
  
  The upgrade looks good, but after this task, I have 21 invalid objects in the RMAN catalog and it was not possible to compile without error. And all the other which backups using the catalog fails the RMAN-06429.
  -> Package PL/SQL BAKRMAN. DBMS_RCVCAT Version 11.02.00.02 in the RCVCAT too recent database.
  I therefore return to the action.
  
  What is the right way to use the catalog rman with levels of different database?
  How can I use the catalog also for 11 GR 2 databases without any side effect on my other 11 GR 1 material databases?
  The rman catalog reside on a 11.1.0.7.0 database.

  Database TARGET RMAN-06429 is not Compatible with this Version of RMAN [245698.1 ID]

  Hello

  So, how I understand, I should send the command "upgrade catalog" new 11 GR 2 database server.

  Yes, the process of looking at this.

  Opening of session of rman 11 GR 2 binary upgrade CLI:

  $ rman catalog bakrman /@.

  connected to the recovery catalog database
  RMAN PL/SQL package. Version X.X.X.X in database RCVCAT DBMS_RCVCAT is too old

  RMAN > upgrade catalog;

  recovery catalog owner is BAKRMAN
  Enter the command of CATALOG to UPGRADE again to confirm the upgrade of the catalogue

  RMAN > upgrade catalog;

  Upgraded to version X.X.X.X recovery catalog
  DBMS_RCVMAN package updated to version X.X.X.X
  DBMS_RCVCAT package updated to version X.X.X.X

  After that this upgrade, only objects of schema in the recovery catalog database should be improved, right?

  Fix.

  Kind regards

• Information on RMAN catalog database using and any catalog (controlfile)

  Hi all.

  I´d like some clarification on the subjects of RMAN RMAN usage with or without a recovery catalog (database / schema):

  (1) will be the database controfile target always store ALL changes made on RMAN? For example, configure changes persistent RMAN as a retention strategy, controfile autobackup, backup optimization and so forth, these will always record on the target database controlfile, even if we're connecting to RMAN with a recovery catalog?

  (2) what happens if we stop using the recovery catalog? I mean, if you don't use stored scripts and shot through the OS jobs or same EM control database, may continue to use then and do not connect more on the recovery catalog? It will be a problem? My target database stops?

  I will be the legacy a few databases to administer and they connects to a catalog of recovery of database / schema, it's good, but I want to set up my own backup and restore policies / procedures in a two-step process: (1) have each configuration of RMAN database on controlfile, Later (2) in view of the use of the recovery catalog to centralized databases and keep more disk backup and restore.

  Thanks in advance!

  (1) Yes, everything about the structure of data is stored in the controlfile. The location of the backup controlfile is also stored in the controlfile.

  The backup controlfile location is also stored in the catalog if you synchronize to it.

  (2) you can stop immediately using the catalog if you choose, and as long as you have a backup RMAN script file, you can always backup using this file.

  The catalog is used to store the location of the backupsets, and copy image. If you have any scripts to store, it can store these too. Really, it's all done catalog.

  You can back up and restore/recover without a catalog, as long as you know where all backups are retained.

  I get the error I pasted at the earliest.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  If you do not have a catalog, you need not to save the database. Rely you only on the target database controlfile. If you use a catalog, you must save the target database, but only once. If you sometimes use a catalog - and sometimes not--the appropriate command is RESYNC (although in many cases RMAN automatically done).

• RMAN - catalog of recovery

  Hi all
  
  We have about 10-12 databases running - wanted to know your opinion on what is the advantage of using recovery catalog vs. just using controlfiles for rman backups?
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi DBA115102,

  These are the advantages by using the rman catalog:
  - keep you metadata about backups in a same location record.
  - you can save scripts in a repository
  - you can make centralized (with your own scripts) backup reports
  - you can restore a database to a previous incarnation

  but also some constraints:
  - you can get into trouble between versions. See compatibility matrix: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/compat003.htm]
  - you must include the repository RMAN in a database upgrade strategy
  - architecture is more complex (at least a new scheme, but a new database will be safer)
  - you have more work with maintenance operations (intersection, resync, remove obsolete, register, unsubscribe...)

  For my personal experience (I bet that's what you're really asking) using the catalogue is easier if you have a homogeneous environment.

• RMAN cloning using the recovery catalog

  Hi all
  
  I do RMAN cloning using the recovery catalog.
  
  I use oracle 10R2 on solaris, I have a PRIMARY primary database name. I create another database for the catalog name of recovery REC_DB. and the master database with REC_DB record and took the full backup. now I have a full backup of the PRIMARY database in the recovery catalog.
  
  Now I want to clone the MAIN database using this backup (backup of the catalog).
  
  I've done this before, without using the catalogue,
  
  I know that the orders and the cloning procedure, I want to ask how to connect from the auxiliary.
  
  RMAN target sys/password@source_DB_string auxiliary sys / password@clone_DB_string *.
  
  here target means what? primary or catalog database. kindly help me on this.
  
  Kind regards

  Looks like it is exactly what you were asking.

  You need to connect to the TARGET, CATALOG & AUXILIARY of the rman prompt instance.
  You then run your script/command clone, which you claim you already know how to do.

• Firewall rules RMAN target database and RMAN catalog database

  Hi, we are on Oracle 11.2.0.4 and we just build a new environment, in which case the RMAN catalog is located on a seprate from the target database server. I'm trying to figure if the firewall between these two rules should be two-way, so that the target database and RMAN catalog database can ping each other. If bi-directional rules in place, so what's the reason for this? I understand that during RMAN backup entries are made in the RMAN catalog database, but do not know if the RMAN catalog database must always meet target db. Thank you!

  If you run the rman command on the target database server, it acts as a client to the catalog database server by connecting on sqlnet to the catalog database.

  If you run the rman command on the catalog database server, it's a sqlnet connection join the target database server.

  In both cases, rman is simply a client that connects to the two databases.

• The Rman catalog must be registered?

  Hello experts,

  Don't you think that would be recorded in the database catalog Rman or not? If so could be in the same Rman catalog or in other different database?

  In the documentation of Rman something about this?

  My 11.2.0.3 Rman catalog database have a controlfile and default 15-day CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME.

  My media layer has a 90-day supply. So if I would to restore an older version of 15 days from the catalog in another machine I had to sign up former backups before games.

  Would be, this example above, a real possibility that I had to listen to extracts?

  Thank you and best regards.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply,

  but do you think useful registry the Rman catalog database in the catalog itself? Or is nonsense? a why?

  Thanks and greetings

  Of course, it is absurd to register in the database catalog with himself.  The entire purpose of the catalog is to help the recovery.  So how the catalog database can help in recovery if the catalog database needs recovery.

• ORA-25408: can not read the appeal during a duplicate backup with rman catalog database safely

  Hello

  I did a database duplicate backup with rman catalog connection and got the ORA-25408: cannot read error call safely.

  The catalog database is running in a Data Guard environment.

  During the double process database failover occurred because of a server restart.

  The restore of the data files was successful:

  That's happened? My My db catalog rman session did not survive? Why the error happened at 09:00 (and not 17:00)? Why the session called the catalog rman during switching of the data files?

  Can someone explain it to me?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The connection of the RMAN catalog remains inactive during the backup/restore process, once rman completes the task and try to activate the connection it gets error.

  What is expected as you said the rebooted server. If this happens because of the expiration time, we went with the parameter net expire_time to maintain the connection.

  Thank you

• RMAN catalog by default for all databases of the value

  Hello

  I run a catalog RMAN 11 GR 1 material.

  I wonder if it is possible to change a default setting in the RMAN catalog so that he will inherit all new databases.

  For example, I would that all new data entered in the catalog for:

  BACKUP OPTIMIZATION

  REDUNDANCY 7 RETENTION STRATEGY

  Thank you

  Massi

  No, the catalogue cannot "dictate" configurations for databases.  Each database maintains configuration in the controlfile and this can be changed that by rman connection (i.e. rman connection to the database target). The command SETS in rman is used to define a "permanent" for a database configuration parameter but must be issued individually for each database.

• Moving the RMAN catalog

  Hello
  My question concerns the RMAN catalog. A few months ago we moved from solaris zones linux servers. A new catalog of recovery was created on linux servers (same name as the catalog of recovery on solaris zones). There are a few databases that couldn't be moved on the linux server and I would like to re - run databases on solaris zones to use the linux RMAN catalog. Should what steps I follow? Thank you.
  
  J

  A new catalog of recovery was created on linux servers (same name as the catalog of recovery on solaris zones).

  Since its new catalogue, then you will need to register your database in this catalogue and use this database schema name while making the connection to this rman catalog.

  Prashant;

  I took the time to demonstrate using a tablespace that was NOT a reserved word in the hope that you would see how bad idea using a reserved word is.

  A tablespace is a logical structure and it can be almost any other name.

  Why create this problem yourself when there are simple alternatives?

  Time is the most precious thing in my life and I don't know that it's in yours also.

  Please consider using another name of the tablespace.

  ALTER TABLESPACE TEST RENAME OTEST;

  There is no sense, make things more complex, then they already are.

  If this is really not an option then:

  RMAN> backup tablespace "TEST";
