This document will detail the steps to restore a database on a new host using RMAN.

For this demonstration we will be using Oracle Database 11gR2 on Linux and disk based
backup.

One of the first things we want to do is get the Database ID (DBID) from the database in which we will be restoring its backup. You can find the DBID by connecting to the database
with RMAN as shown below.

[oracle@ora1 ~]$ rman

7 RMAN> connect target /

9 connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1239150297)
10
RMAN>
11

If you are unable to connect to the database you can also find the DBID by inspecting the file name of the control file autobackup. For example, c-1239150297-20100427-00, is a
control file autobackup. The first group of numbers appearing after the c-, 123915029, is the DBID.

When we restore the database we are not going to have the active redo logs from the original database so we want to stop the recovery at the last SCN in the archive logs. We can
find the last SCN by querying V$ARCHIVED_LOG.

1 SQL> selectmax(next_change#)

Here we see that the archive logs contain log information up to SCN 1375117. That is our stopping SCN. We can also find the last SCN in our archive logs through RMAN using LIST
BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG ALL.

Looking through the output above we see that highest Next SCN is 1375117 which is part of backup set 60.

Next we need to make the backup available to the new host. If the backups reside on a shared file system that the new host has access to then there is nothing more to do. If the
backups are on local storage we will need to transfer the backups to the new host.

All of the rest of the steps will take place on the new host.

Set the ORACLE_SIDto the SID of the database that made the backup and start up RMAN and connect to the target.

We now need to set the DBID and bring the database in mount mode. When we bring the database up in mount mode we will receive errors because the parameter file is not found.
This is to be expected as we are restoring to a new host. Oracle will use a “dummy” parameter file for the time being.

Now with the database in mount mode we need to restore the SPFILE. We are going to need to make some changes to the SPFILE so we will restore SPFILE to a PFILE. The
SPFILE is stored in the control file autobackup. All of the RMAN configuration parameters values are at their defaults so we will need to set the location for the control file
autobackup.

2
3RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name DUMMY are:
4CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default

Below we will set the location for the control file autobackup and restore the SPFILE to a PFILE and then we shutdown the database.

Now that we have the SPFILE we need to edit the some of the parameter to reflect the new host’s file system were appropriate. Below is a list of the some of the parameter you
might need to change in your environment. These directories must exist on the new host.

1*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump'
2*.control_files='/u02/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/ctl/control01.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/orcl/control02.ctl','/u03/app/oracle/orada

5*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
6*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u02/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/arch'
7*.local_listener='LISTENER_ORCL'

Note: If you are using 11g you to ensure your kernel parameters are set appropriately to avoid a possible ORA-00845.

1[oracle@ora2 orcl]$ oerr ora 00845

200845, 00000, "MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system"
// *Cause: The MEMORY_TARGET parameter was not supported on this operating system or /dev/shm was not sized correctly on Linux.
3// *Action: Refer to documentation for a list of supported operating systems. Or, size /dev/shm to be at least the SGA_MAX_SIZE on each
4Oracle instance running on the system.
5[oracle@ora2 orcl]$

After making the necessary changes to the PFILE we now will bring the database back up in NOMOUNT mode so we can restore the control files. When bringing the database up in
NOMOUNT mode we will use the PFILE we edited earlier.

Just like the SPFILE we will use the autobackup to restore the control file after setting the control file autobackup format. After restoring the control files we mount the database.

Given the current settings RMAN is going to look in /u03/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backupfor both the control file autobackups and database/archive log backups. The
backup we copied over is located in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backup. There are two ways to resolve this issue. Either move the backup to the location were RMAN is
configured or change the configuration. It may be that moving the backups may not be an option so we document what needs to be done next.

RMAN has record of a backup in /u03/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backupbut has no record of the backup we have in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backup/. We
need remove the record of the old location and the backup of the new location.

In order to let RMAN know about the backup in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backupwe use the CATALOG command.

As a result of the CATALOG command RMAN performed a CROSSCHECK. The backup registered at /u03/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/backup/was marked expired as a result
of the CROSSCHECK because they were not present.

We are almost ready to restore the database the last thing to be done is to build the restore script. During the restore we can change the location of the data files by using SET
NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE. The data files in the backup are on various locations but we would like to restore them to only one.

Also we would like to change the location of the redo logs as well. In order to change the redo log locations the ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILEcommand has to be issued. Below
are examples of both.

If you remember we stated that we wanted the restore to stop at SCN 1375117 because that was the latest SCN in which we have archive logs. In order to stop at a specific SCN
we will use the SET UNTIL SCN 1375117.

After all of that we just need to restore the database, switch the data files so the control files have the new path and recover the database. Not much at all.

Below is the entire script to do just that.
