Oracle10G RMAN Database Duplication

[ Creating a duplicate database using RMAN ]

The V10gREL5 is in noarchivelog mode. The duplication is being made from
closed database consistent backups. With archivelog mode databases you can
use the "set until time | scn | sequence" clause to tell RMAN where to end
for incomplete recovery.

TARGET : V10gREL5
AUXILIARY : RMAN10

[ SQLNET setup for connectivity ]
########################################################################################
# We must use a dedicated listener configuration for RMAN. Using instance registration
# requires the database be mounted to register with the listener. Since the AUX is
# where we'll connect using sqlnet we require sysdba access to the nomount instance.
# This example is using the same server for duplication but can be used for remote
# duplication as well. If you are using a disk backup solution and duplicate to a
# remote node you must first copy the backupsets from the original hosts backup
# location to the same mount and path on the remote server. Because duplication
# uses auxiliary channels the files must be where the IO pipe is allocated. So the
# IO will take place on the remote node and disk backups must be locally available.

[ Create the Auxiliary Database directories needed ]

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

# Note: I am using a single directory for my datafiles. You can use the
# parameters db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert and they will
# generate the "set newname for datafile" syntax needed to change the
# controlfile. These parameters accommodate up to 5 different file placement
# locations using:

db_file_name_convert = ('/old/path1', '/new/path1',
'/old/path2', '/new/path2',
'/old/path3', '/new/path3')
# up to 5 locations from Oracle9i >.
log_file_name_convert = ('/old/path1', '/new/path1',
'/old/path2', '/new/path2',
'/old/path3', '/new/path3')
# up to 5 locations from Oracle9i >.

# You can also create your own "set newname for datafile" syntax for all your
# files skipping these parameters all together. You can still use the
# log_file_name_convert parameter or you can use the 'logfile' command to
# specifiy where the logs will be created and what size.
#
# Auxiliary datafile directory for this exercise:

[ RMAN Duplication from tape backup using the Oracle disk API ]

# This is to provide an example of simulating writing to tape using RMAN and
# the Oracle disk API. RMAN Target Configuration:

% rman
RMAN> connect target

connected to target database: V10GREL5 (DBID=2510891965)

# Use the RMAN configure command to create an optimal configuration for your
# business. the channels are configured to allocate from device type SBT by
# default. Since the channels are configured here we do not need to allocate
# any channels in the RMAN scripts.
# I/O only take place over the channel allocated. If an AUX channel is allocated
# only the auxiliary will perform IO so there is not worry about overwriting the
# target database production files. As an added safegard an error would raise if
# an attempt to overwrite a target file while it's online.

RMAN> show all;

using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;

[ Start the Duplication ]

# set the env to the auxiliary to "startup nomount"

setenv ORACLE_SID RMAN10 # csh
or

% sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance
SQL> startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initRMAN10.ora
SQL> exit

# Set your SID back to the TARGET for duplication. The information in the target
# is used by the duplicate to fill in missing information like maxopenfiles,
# maxlogfiles and other values which are only changed when recreating the control
# file. Execute RMAN from the target home. The auxiliary should be a sqlnet
# connection.
