The RMAN catalog database backup

• Stop planned of the rman catalog database

  Hello
  We have several databases are backed up using RMAN and we use the catalog database.
  AIX, database catalog rman hosts servers will go for weekly maintenance and therefore this catalogue
  database is not available for 8-10 hours.
  
  We have jobs as
  (1) the hot backup jobs
  (2) cold backup jobs
  (3) archive files backups
  
  Can I know what would become of the work when the catalog database is down?
  Y at - there any preventive measure, we have to take or to do something once the
  Catalog database is running.
  
  Thank you

  In this case, I think I need to move all these files on tapes
  just before the planned closure to avoid the ORA-257 archive error space then...

  I don't understand this. When you remove the connection to the catalog of your scripts, backups will continue to function - with only controlfile. This means that your archivelog backups will continue to run and to clear the archivelog destinations (I assume that you have a policy of suppression for archives).

• 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.

• 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.

• Version of the RMAN catalog

  Hi, we are modernizing our databases 9i to 11g R2 R2 target, use us RMAN to make backups and our version of RMAN catlog is 10.2.0.2, I need to know if we continue with the current version of our data catalog RMAN or it must be upgraded to version equilent to our target databases You also have to configure Data protector with RMAN will be compatible with the lower version of the RMAN catalog database.
  
  Kind regards

  In our case when we improve our database to 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 didn't us connect with the catalogue. After the upgrade of the database catalog in 10.2.0.4 we took over with the RMAN backup.

  You can take the RMAN backup without a catalog database.

• 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:

  RMAN-08023: channel t1: restored the backup part 1

  DB version: 11.2.0.4.0, not the RAC environment, single instances

  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

• Control to the RMAN catalog file

  Dear friends,
  
  Now my RMAN backup is running using the control file. How can I change the catalog?
  
  Please guide me.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  If there is no drawback application RMAN catalog, then I guess I do it with her.

  Like when I want to recover the database in a new server with the backup and so on... >

  The downside is the maintenance you need to do for the catalog. He had some performance issues with the catalog in previous versions, but I think he's fine now.

  Do I need to back up the RMAN catalog or back up separately in addition to the backup of the database?

  Could I lose the catalog if I lose my database

  Just save as regularly as you can afford. RMAN or export. Losing the catalog is a hassle but not the end of the world.

• The RMAN catalog questions

  Hello

  Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Sun Solaris 5.10 (Sparc)

  Issues related to the:
  (1) it will work installation where there is a mix of the target db versions. Are there special requirements to do this job or any restriction
  (2) say the catalog db is down, and the accident of my database target. I would still be able to restore my available target without the catalog db database?
  (3) what are the best practices for the maintenance of catalog db so that it does not become a SPOF? (DG, etc..)
  
  Your help is very appreciated.

  1 see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/compat002.htm#sthref1153
  2 Yes: If you still have at least a current control file: restoration should be transparent. If you've lost all control files, then you must recover the backup file DBID and control location and know how to restore in a DRP as situation
  3. my humble opinion, it is more important to know how to restore without a catalog of recovery available to use the high availability features for the recovery catalog 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.

• Get information directly from the database of the RMAN catalog

  All,
  
  Assuming that one is unable to connect to the target database, but can directly connect to the catalog database:
  
  HostName: rman.prod.hobank.net
  User name of the operating system: oracle
  Oracle SID: RMAN
  User RMAN: rman
  
  When you are connected to the RMAN database as user rman (as shown below),
  
  [oracle@rman] sqlplus rman/rman
  
  What views I need to ask for the following information:
  
  -Backups performed
  -Backup type (for each backup)
  -Calendar
  
  Thanks in advance.

  You can get all the information backup recovery catalog views. For example, V$ RC_BACKUP_SET, V$ RC_BACKUP_PIECE, V$ RC_BACKUP_FILES, etc. and the view contains the type of backup as
  V$ RC_BACKUP_FILES. BACKUP. But I don't understand your 'calendar' means.

  Stream uses system global area (SGA) memory to store the information required to capture and apply. To allocate memory from the SGA for use by water courses, establish a flow pool in the SGA by specifying the STREAMS_POOL_SIZE parameter. The default value for this setting is 0, which means that the stream instead uses the shared pool memory. If you leave the STREAMS_POOL_SIZE to its default value (0), water courses will be considering using up to 10 percent of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE, then Oracle recommends at least 200 MB for the STREAMS_POOL_SIZE parameter. The source and destination databases must take account of this memory in the SGA.

• 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.

• Cleaning of the RMAN catalog

  I left a cron job run Friday, so all the hours, he did a complete backup of my VTL. Here are the steps I did:
  
  run
  {allocate channel ch00 type sbt
  format = '% d_data_set % s_piece % p_ T_ %U '.
  PARMS "ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/a0221/oracle/tivoli/ufms609_jd1su221_tdpo.opt);
  delete the backup of database;
  output channel ch00;
  }
  
  
  
  After rman had removed all backupsets that looks like the catalog is keeping the information of these backups:
