• 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 '' ;

• can we take copy of rman backup image in several places

  Hi all

  We are planing to move the database from the old warehouse to new storage on the same server.

  planing to use RMAN image copy to copy the files db destocking former new storage, then switch database to copy.

  Now dbfiles on/U01, / U02, /u03, /u04, and we are planing to move to the new storage /u05 / u06 /, /u07

  Is it possible that I can copy all the dbfiles in /u05 / u06, / u07

  Backup in the database copy format ' / u05

  As I know that I can move one place. Is there any copy of way in several places using the copy of the image.

  Please suggest.

  Thank you

  You can use DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT to make the operation easier.

• Consistent test 'copy' of RMAN backup outside the ASM (RAC)

  Hello!
  We create consistent backup RMAN in our CARS (ASM with FRA) environment.
  Safeguard measures looks like:

  alter system set cluster_database=false scope=spfile sid='HAC4';
  
  srvctl stop database -d HAC

  Then we begin the RMAN backup script as (database is closed to the ground before):

  run {
  
  startup mount;
  
  allocate channel t1 type disk format '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%U';
  
  allocate channel t2 type disk format '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%U';
  
  SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%F_ctl';
  
  backup as copy database include current controlfile;
  
  }

  After backup, we realize:

  alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile sid='HAC4';
  
  shutdown immediate;

  and later

  srvctl start database -d HAC

  This backup backup files are placed on the area of local disk accessed by noeud4, where HAC4 SID is on.
  We transfer the backup files to tape on an hourly basis...
  
  Now, we want to test this backup.
  Scenario:
  Because we have consistent backup, we think we can restore her (from files on this disc) and him ALONE!
  Our problem is that while restoration is the use of the DSO files, so we're not sure is our backup.
  
  So, how to prevent the RMAN restore/recovery process of using any ASM file - just to use our consistent backup data?
  
  Please a few example script for this...
  
  Our config:
  Oracle 10gR2.0.4 PS3 (NCPS, ASM database),
  Linux Rhel IA64 5.3 on 'raw devices' (no raw disks)

  Hello

  What I realized is that you want to test the image copy backup you took earlier and test this to restore the database, as it is.

  Now, if I see your script, it shows that you have restored control file and then you tried to recover the database.

  But when you make the copy of the image of the database, and you want to restore, then you have to try to restore the database first. I don't see any "restore order" in your script.

  RMAN > restore database from tag = "";

  Firstly, this will restore the data files.

  Then, use

  RMAN > restore database;

  Then, open the database.

  You can also take your backups without a recovery catalog database. The additional advantage of using a database to catalog vs using the controlfile as repository (default average) target is essentially
  >
  RMAN automatically manages backup metadata in the database control file is saved. To protect and maintain metadata backup for long periods of time, the RMAN Repository is created in a separate database. This repository is generally referred to as a catalog of recovery. The benefits of using a catalog of recovery include:

  *

  Stores long-term backup information
  *

  Store the metadata for multiple databases
  *

  Restore a backup available on another system

  Another reason to use a recovery catalog is the limited size of the target database control file. If the control file is too small to contain additional metadata from backup, then the existing backup information are crushed, making it difficult to restore and recover using these backups.

• How to create a database in the server-2 based on the game of RMAN backup in server-1

  Hi all

  I need help related to RMAN backup in the following scenario, my server-1 details are given below.

  * Operating system-Windows server 2012 R2 Standard Edition

  * Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production

  PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

  AMT for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

  NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production,

  I have configured RMAN and level 0 and backup of level 1 with on the external HARD drive.

  all the RMAN backup is located in this drive external HARD only, same archivelog.

  My question is,

  How to create a database to Server-2 based on the RMAN backup I took in server-1.

  It's to help me create a server test and even if the server-1 crash, then I can create a database in the new server-2 with backup I took on the external HARD drive.

  Is it possible to achieve the same or not. Kindly suggest me or share a good Internet link or document and share your knowledge to achieve my need of stimulus.  This will really help me

  It does not matter whether you use ASM. The link above should guide you on how to change the file names of data before restoring if the location of the data file on server 2 will be different from server 1.

• Considerations to keep the retention of RMAN backup for 1 year

  Dear all,

  We use 10 g 2 2-node CCR on Windows Server. We use Netbackup Symentec 7.5 for the backup of Oracle databases. We want to change the retention period of the RMAN backups for 1 year. Another change that the window recovery from RMAN backup at 365, what are the other considerations (any other configuration change, another point etc.), we should be aware of?

  Your controlfile would spend unusually large.  It can result in CF-queue waiting for when the generation of the archivelogs and performing backups.

• 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

• How to find the total size of the RMAN backup files?

  Hello

  env: Oracle 10 g 2, RHEL 64 bit

  My customer has a production database where rman backups are taken: level 0 backup every Sunday and level 1, Monday to Saturday.

  I have very limited access to this database of production because it is managed by a third party, and they don't give me my required info (don't know why). I don't have access to the rman repository. To connect to the database that I have to connect to a staging server, then connect to the database server. I have no access to Enterprise Manager. So in short, my access is limited. I want to collect information on the total size of the files of rman backup - both for level 1 to level 0 backups separately. I understand that this info can be retrieved from the rman repository. Is there a dictionary views/tables of data where I can get this info?
