Restore and Recovery Scenarios


Restore and Recovery Scenarios:

Full Database Restore

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> shutdown abort;
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore database;
RMAN> recover database;
RMAN> alter database open;
database opened

Tablespace Restore (online)

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace users offline';
RMAN> restore tablespace users;
RMAN> recover tablespace users;
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace users online';
* A SYSTEM tablespace cannot be recovered with the database online.


Tablespace Restore (offline)

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> shutdown abort;
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore tablespace users;
RMAN> recover tablespace users;
RMAN> alter database open;
database opened

Restoring a Specific Datafile

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> shutdown abort;
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore datafile '/oradata/DB1/dbf/users01.dbf';
RMAN> recover datafile '/oradata/DB1/dbf/users01.dbf';
RMAN> alter database open;
database opened




Control File Restoration

Prerequisite: In your rman backup directory determine the latest control file backup.
Default Format: c-nnnnnnnnnn-nnnnnnnn-nn

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> shutdown abort;
RMAN> startup nomount;
RMAN> set dbid = 1184749195
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/oradata/DB1/rman/c-1184749195-20060626-02'
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN> restore database;
RMAN> recover database;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened
Database Point-In-Time-Recovery (PITR)

Also known as time-based incomplete recovery.

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog
RMAN> shutdown abort;
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore database until time "to_date('09/03/07 13:00:00', 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS')";
RMAN> recover database until time "to_date('09/03/07 13:00:00', 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS')";
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

* Make sure you perform a full backup after this operation!

Restore to Another System

Prerequisites
Ideally ensure destination system configured exactly like source.
Same OS version and patch level.
Same drives (C:, D:, S: etc.).
CPU and RAM same or better.
The same version of Oracle is installed on the target system as the source.
Ensure the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables are set.
Ensure the listener is running.

Copy RMAN backupset files to the destination system rman directory.

If Windows:
Create the password file.
orapwd file=orapwDB1 password=mypassword
Creates the file %ORACLE_HOME%\dbs\orapwDB1
Copy %ORACLE_HOME%\dbs\orapwDB1 to %ORACLE_HOME%\database.
In some instances of a restore like this it may look for the file here.
Create or start the Windows database instance service.
oradim -new -sid DB1 -intpwd mypassword -startmode MANUAL
Creates the file: %ORACLE_HOME%\database\PWDDB1.ORA
Ensure the drive\path to the admin (adump,bdump,cdump,udump), data and redo directories on the source and destination systems are identical.
Example:
Admin Dump Directories
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin 
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\DB1 
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\DB1\adump 
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\DB1\bdump 
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\DB1\cdump 
mkdir C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\DB1\udump 


Data Directories
mkdir D:\oradata
mkdir D:\oradata\DB1


Redo and Archive Log Directories
mkdir D:\oradata\DB1\recovery1
mkdir D:\oradata\DB1\recovery2


Procedure

Restore SPFILE and Control File
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\rman target / nocatalog 
RMAN> set dbid 161080442 
RMAN> startup nomount; 
      Creates the file: %ORACLE_HOME%\database\hc_db1.dat
RMAN> restore spfile from 'R:\rman\C-161080442-20080313-00'; 
      Creates the file: %ORACLE_HOME%\database\SPFILEDB1.ORA
RMAN> startup force nomount
RMAN> restore controlfile from 'R:\rman\C-161080442-20080313-00'; 
RMAN> shutdown immediate 
RMAN> exit 


Restore and Recover the Data

%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\rman target / nocatalog 
RMAN> startup mount; 
RMAN> restore database; 
      For a large database this step may take some time.
RMAN> recover database; 
      If you do not have\need the very last log(s) you can disregard any error messages.
      ORA-00310: archived log contains sequence 100; sequence 101 required...
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs; 
      database opened
