• using usb for file backup flash drives

  When I bought my HP Notebook PC about a year ago I made both of the system recovery discs and disc repair system for windows 7, 64-bit operating system.  My first question is what can I transfer the DVR recovery discs to a USB flash drive and if yes what size GB do I need?  The same question for the repair disk.  Are readers flash reading and writing?

  Also, I have a large number of CD with photo and DVD with slideshow and vidios and music.  I want to transfer them from flash drives for the primary purpose of the ease of storage and portability.

  Any suggestions would be apprieciated. TIA

  Again, during a support request, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  Having the above information allows us to provide you with the best possible answers.

  I don't think you can use a USB Flash drive with Windows System Image backup tool. A NTFS formatted external hard drive USB 60 GB or more should work. Any USB 2.0 / 3.0 about 500 GB to 1 TB external hard drive would work for your object. Yes, I know it's more you want, but it is what will work.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• EBS cloning using hot RMAN backup

  Hi hussein/helios,
  
  EBS R12.0.6

  Today, as I face a problem of cloning because I am not allowed to stop the database. This is my first time at this meeting.
  I want to clone a PROD EBS customer, but he's working on a service 24 x 7, which means that I can not close easily.

• Waiting for redo log file missing when restore main database using RMAN backup that was taken on the database physical standby

  Here's my question after tons of research and test without have the right solutions.

  Target:

  (1) I have a 12.1.0.2 database unique main enterprise 'testdb' as database instance running on the server "node1".

  (2) I created physical standby database "stbydb" on the server "node2".

  (3) DataGuard running on the mode of MaxAvailability (SYNC) with roll forward in real time 12 default c apply.

  (4) primary database has 3 groups of one-man redo. (/oraredo/testdb/redo01.log redo02.log redo03.log)

  (5) I've created 4 standby redo logfiles (/oraredo/testdb/stby01.log stby02.log stby03.log stby04.log)

  (6) I do RMAN backup (database and archivelog) on the site of relief only.

  (7) I want to use this backup for full restore of the database on the primary database.

  He is a DR test to simulate the scenario that has lost every primary & Eve total servers.

  Here is how to save, on the database pending:

  (1) performance 'alter database recover managed standby database Cancel' to ensure that compatible data files

  (2) RMAN > backup database;

  (3) RMAN > backup archivelog all;

  I got elements of backup and copied to primary db Server something like:

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq099p_.BKP (data files)

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.BKP (spfile & controlfile)

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_annnn_TAG20151002T133357_c0xq15xf_.BKP (archivelogs)

  So here's how to restore, on the main site:

  I clean all the files (data files, controlfiles oder all gone).

  (1) restore spfile from pfile

  RMAN > startup nomount

  RMAN > restore spfile from pfile ' / home/oracle/pfile.txt' to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

  (2) modify pfile to convert to db primary content. pFile shows below

  *.audit_file_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB/admin/testdb/adump '

  * .audit_trail = "db".

  * full = '12.1.0.2.0'

  *.control_files='/oradata/testdb/control01.ctl','/orafra/testdb/control02.ctl'

  * .db_block_size = 8192

  * .db_domain = "

  *.db_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

  * .db_name = "testdb".

  * .db_recovery_file_dest ='/ orafra'

  * .db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10737418240

  * .db_unique_name = "testdb".

  *.diagnostic_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB '

  * .fal_server = "stbydb".

  * .log_archive_config = 'dg_config = (testdb, stbydb)'

  * .log_archive_dest_2 = "service = stbydb SYNC valid_for = (ONLINE_LOGFILE, PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name = stbydb'"

  * .log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'ENABLE '.

  *.log_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

  * .memory_target = 1800 m

  * .open_cursors = 300

  * runoff = 300

  * .remote_login_passwordfile = "EXCLUSIVE."

  * .standby_file_management = "AUTO".

  * .undo_tablespace = "UNDOTBS1.

  (3) restart db with updated file pfile

  SQLPLUS > create spfile from pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt'

  SQLPLUS > the judgment

  SQLPLUS > startup nomount

  (4) restore controlfile

  RMAN > restore primary controlfile to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

  RMAN > change the editing of the database

  (5) all elements of backup catalog

  RMAN > catalog starts by ' / home/oracle/backupset / '.

  (6) restore and recover the database

  RMAN > restore database;

  RMAN > recover database until the SNA XXXXXX; (this YVERT is the maximum in archivelog backups that extends beyond the scn of the backup of the data file)

  (7) open resetlogs

  RMAN > alter database open resetlogs;

  Everything seems perfect, except one of the file log roll forward pending is not generated

  SQL > select * from v$ standby_log;

  ERROR:

  ORA-00308: cannot open archived log ' / oraredo/testdb/stby01.log'

  ORA-27037: unable to get file status

  Linux-x86_64 error: 2: no such file or directory

  Additional information: 3

  no selected line

  I intended to use the same backup to restore primary basic & helps record traffic and the downtime between them in the world of real output.

  So I have exactly the same steps (except STANDBY restore CONTROLFILE and not recover after database restore) to restore the database pending.

  And I got the same missing log file.

  The problem is:

  (1) complete alert.log filled with this error, not the concern here

  (2) now repeat it in real time apply won't work since the Party shall LGWR shows always "WAITING_FOR_LOG."

  (3) I can't delete and re-create this log file

  Then I tried several and found:

  The missing standby logfile was still 'ACTIVE' at present RMAN backup was made.

  For example, on db standby, under Group #4 (stby01.log) would be lost after the restoration.

  SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

  GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

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

  4 19 ACTIVE 133632

  5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

  7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  So until I take the backup, I tried on the primary database:

  SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = delay;

  This was the Group of standby_log side Eve #4 was released:

  SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

  GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

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

  4 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

  7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  Then, the backup has been restored correctly without missing standby logfile.

  However, to change this primary database means break DataGuard protection when you perform the backup. It's not accept on the production environment.

  Finally, my real questions come:

  (1) what I do may not do on parameter change?

  (2) I know I can re-create the control file to redo before delete and then recreate after. Is there any simple/fast to avoid the standby logfile lost or recreate the lost one?

  I understand that there are a number of ways to circumvent this. Something to keep a copy of the log file waiting restoration progress and copy up one missing, etc, etc...

  And yes I always have done no real-time applies "to the aid of archived logfile" but is also not accept mode of protection of production.

  I just want proof that the design (which is displayed in a few oracle doc Doc ID 602299.1 is one of those) that backs up data backup works effectively and can be used to restore the two site. And it may be without spending more time to resume backups or put the load on the primary database to create the database before.

  Your idea is very much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  1--> when I take via RMAN backup, RMAN does not redo log (ORL or SRL) file, so we cannot expect ORLs or SRL would be restored.

  2nd--> when we opened the ORL database should be deleted and created

  3rd--> Expecting, SRL should not be an issue.we should be able to do away with the fall.

  If you do, you can recreate the controlfile without waiting for redo log entry...

  If you still think it's something is not acceptable, you must have SR with support to analyze why he does not abandon SRL when controlfile_type is "underway".

  So, I issue the command 'lsvol - a - c' and could not display expired on all media content.

  Why OSB no has not select and replace the tape media despite the rman rman default retention policy (3days) all show the setting.

  Why OSB does not have the expired status of rman content on tape media?

  -> I need the rman (delete expired, delete obsolete etc...) command to share the summary status of OSB and rman rman?

  Q2 > selection procedure for the tape media all backup rman

  Suppose the total number of tape media is 5EA. (1,2,3,4,5) with an available tape LTO5 drive.

  Status: 1 (full-rman content already expired), 2 (content integral-rman not expired), 3 (editable, remaining space), 4 (new media), 5 (currnet wring media)

  If OSB burn now 5 and reach at the end of the Strip and possibly another media, media to be selected by the OSB?

  Advanced thanks.

  If I place the order obsolete in the rman script as 'delete type 'SBT_TAPE' noprompt obsolete device;' the results will be the same as your

  the syntax because rman default setting (CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY to RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS ;) has already been fixed on the command "Show all", right? @)

  Yes.

  I use the catalog of recovery on a different database and backup script has catalog db connection string.

  And if I only use controlfile instead of recovery catalog to save the backup information and put in place "control_file_record_keep_time" a default of 7 days to 365 days, "remove obsolete" command to remove several weeks backupset works well, is it not?

  Possible problem are existing backups for several weeks if you left default control_file_record_keep_time. Change now will not help unless you catalog later manually all the old pieces not catalogued on tape backup.

  After you clean up the situation and particularly to remove obsolete in your script, rman, you will never make problems with control_file_record_keep_time from this moment. By default will do just fine because it is larger than your window of recovery.

• Movement of RMAN backups on tape

  Hello
  
  How to make the backup of the database, which took by rman to tap.
  
  Ex:
  I have a database and backup taken by rman, connecting mode without a catalog. as the target of $rman.
  
  so backup is generated and stored on disk only.
  
  Now, I want to tap these backup file, how can we move these files.
  
  Please let me know
  
  Thank you!

  You plan change your backup strategy, or just to make a single copy?

  The last submission, if the backup destination is file system, then you can directly copy the backup files generated by RMAN with a command of the OS.
  If within ASM, you will need to copy the files first. According to the version of database you are using, you have different ways to do this.

  If you want to copy on tape with RMAN, then you must configure a media management library. For a running time, it will be too much effort. Please see how to configure: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#i1006526

  If you plan to do on a regular basis, it will be a good option to do with RMAN.
  There, you can create backups directly to tape or copy existing (as rp0428 said). See the full example on 11.2 documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV89492

• RMAN backup to disk vs. tape

  AIX R 2
  Oracle: 10.2.0.4
  
  I tested strategies of rman backup on a database in noarchivelog (development) using the following command:
  (*) note: if db is in noarchivelog then you must make a backup, cold have mounted db but not opened.
  
  RMAN > backup database format ' / a010/d01/bck/%U'
  
  I found that this rman backup disc about 2 GB per minute. Now, I want to test it on tape to compare settings.
  
  Question: Which configurations RMAN should write directly to tape?
  What are the safeguards to write to tape? I have to specify the channel of the band and also where the output format is written?
  
  Thank you all.

  Ok

  You must install the Oracle for Tivoli driver (eventually sold with Tivoli) and install it in your Oracle software tree.
  You can set up your channels to write to tape (this is documented).
  For the rest, there is no difference, although there is no directory name.

• It is advisable to use RMAN backups?

  Hello

  Currently in our production databases, they took only the export dumps in every day.

  Is it advisable if we use RMAN backups?

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Thanks in advance.

  As others have said or implied, it is MORE than advisable.  I would declare it like this: If you want to stay independent as a DBA, it is mandatory.  Without him, there will come a time where you will lose data.  And which violates the Prime Directive for the DBA.

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  Which may or may not be very well to "Refresh" a test database, but it is not acceptable for the recovery of a database of lost output unless you accept BOTH of the following:

  (1) potentially to recreate an 'empty' database to replace the lost production database.

  1 a) potentially lose required components of database and/or configurations because you have forgotten/don't do them after the recreation of the empty database

  (2) lose all data that has been added to the database once your instant export has been taken.

  Do you think all the foregoing as an acceptable risk for your organization?

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Definitely.  Why wouldn't be?  With rman for your primary backup strategy does not prevent you to export for any purpose you want to do with them.

  I have 4 key production databases.  For three of them, I update their counterparts in test with rman backups. For the fourth, I use exports.

  Thanks in advance.

• How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog?

  Hello

  How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog? I mean RMAN prompt or sqlplus is it possible to know.

  Thank you

  You're welcome my friend

  You can see them using two methods.

  as I mentioned above, you can see them connect to the catalog database and you can query using the view that I sent

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV89601

  the other method is the list command, you must use the list command after connecting using rman "rman target / catalog cat_user/cat_pass@catdbtns" command

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV8136

  Check the value of the control_file_record_keep_time parameter. The default value is 7 days. in the output of the list command, if you can see the old backups to the value, you must be sure that the backup information comes from the catalogue database

  SELECT * FROM parameter $ v where name = 'control_file_record_keep_time '.

  an example of command list

  the list of completed database before backup ' sysdate-10'.

• 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?

• RMAN backup especially for tablespaces

  Hi@everybody,

  We have an Oracle 11 g 2 (11.2.0.3.0) server, based on RedHat 6, installed in our company. For backups I use with an RMAN script. In this script, copy the following code specifically creates the backup:

          run {
              allocate channel oem_backup_disk1 type disk;
              backup incremental level ${level} cumulative as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET tag '${tag}' database;
              backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET tag '${tag}' archivelog all not backed up;
              release channel oem_backup_disk1;
          }
  
  

  ${level} is 0 or 1, full or incremental backup. ${tag} is the name of the backup. This script is the database of the hole. But now I want to change this script at the tablespace level. We have some 'test' tablespaces, where a backup is not necessary. I just found this one:

  backup tablespace TEST tag='BACKUP_TEST';
  

  But now I'm not shure how I can implement which in my script.

  Can you guys help me?

  Thank you and best regards,

  David

  Hello

  You can exclude certain tablespaces from the database as below

  Example of CONFIGURATION EXCLUDE for the TABLESPACE;

  You can use the normal backup script.

• recover the database by using the RMAN backup archivelogs

  Hello
  
  I tried to find the resolution of this problem in google a lot but couldn't find something useful.
  
  Location:
  
  We try to clone the dev environment of production that are completely on different servers and do not share a common mount point.
  Backup RMAN of PROD with RMAN as well as arch newspapers are kept in this mount point.
  We took control of backup files of PROD restored in DEV fired restore with recovery until a when not.
  Turns out that the sequence was not saved in right backupsets there if recovery has not requested more arch newspapers that are present in the PROD.
  Archs are stored in ASM and only way out is to take of RMAN backup of them.
  We control the file as a repository for RMAN.
  
  my questions are
  
  1. surely, I need to take backup of the control file after I take the log arch by RMAN backup and restore this file command in the DEV of so that when I start RMAN recovery in DEV, database will be able to find the backupset with arch newspapers. But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?
  
  2. If we did not have a point of common Assembly and then after sending the backup destination elements how the database would be the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source?
  
  Suppose that in the source backups are stored in/backup/rman
  in destination copy us in/backup/clone
  in the PROD control file, their locations are saved in/backup/rman
  so if I restore this command file in custom DEV it find the elements of backup in/backup/rman?
  is it possible to save a backup of outside item in the control of a database file?
  
  
  3 al ' ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance? (sending of newspapers without DR)
  
  The help is very appreciated.
  
  Kind regards

  1. .... But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?

  N ° provided that you do not have renamed, moved or abandoned any of the data files that were already copied in DEV. (also, subject that you did not add da new Production data between two backups - otherwise the new controlfile file will wait as datafile also to be present at DEV).
  You will do an incomplete recovery until a certain SNA / sequence # if information subsequent archivelogs beyond your point of recovery in the controlfile are redundant. In addition, a RESETLOGS would be done when you OPEN the database.

  2... how to know the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source database?

  What is the order CATALOG. In 9i, CATALOGUE could only of catalog datafilecopy. In 10g and more, you can BackupPieces CATALOGUER. Thus, it would "update" the controlfile (which is the RMAN Repository) with information about the BackupPieces that are present in a replacement / new location.

  3. ... ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance?

  According to the version you are using, ASMCMD has a 'cp' command to copy the files from the DSO for the operating system. However, you cannot use ASM to apply directly the archivelogs. You always use the 'RECOVER' of RMAN or SQL command line command.
