Recovering Whole Database to same server

This type of recovery is performed when the current Control File and SPFILE are intact but all the datafiles are damaged or lost. You can perform a Complete Recovery or recover the database to a specific point. Following is an overview of the process to recover the whole database, which must be performed when the database is in a MOUNT state:

1
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, find the latest available backup that included all the tablespaces, and click Next.
2
On the Create Selection Set page, navigate to the source NetVault Backup Client and database, select the Whole Database node, and click Edit Plugin Options.
3
Click the Restore Options tab, and select the applicable options:
To include read-only datafiles in the restore, select Check Read-Only Datafiles and Restore if Necessary.
Perform Complete Recovery: Recovers the database to the current time, that is, to the last committed transaction available in the archived and online redo logs.
Perform Point-in-Time Recovery: Recovers the database to a specific point whether it be a specific time, log sequence number, or SCN.
5
On the Perform Recovery tab, select these additional options, if applicable:
To include read-only datafiles in the recovery process, select Check Read-Only Datafiles and Recover if Not Current. The read-only files are included only if they are needed to complete recovery. If they are not damaged, RMAN omits them.
To delete the restored archive logs that Oracle® deems unnecessary, select Delete Archive Logs No Longer Needed.
6
On the Post Recovery tab, select Open Database after Recovery and Read Write and Reset Logs to open the database automatically in read-write mode and reset the online logs.
7
Complete the Target Client, Schedule, and Advanced Options tabs, and submit the job.

Performing disaster recovery with RMAN

Disaster recovery includes the restore and recovery of a database after the loss of the entire target database, all current Control Files, all online redo log files, and all parameter files. It is also assumed that the FRA has been lost. To perform a disaster recovery, the minimum required set of backups includes backups of all the datafiles, some archived redo logs generated after the time of the backup, and at least one Autobackup of the Control File.

If your goal is to create a copy of your target database for ongoing use on a new host, do not use these procedures. Instead, use the Duplicate Database backup type, which is designed for this purpose. For more information, see Duplicate Database backup.

The following methods are available for performing a disaster recovery:

When performing a disaster recovery of any kind, be aware of the following:

Using a disaster recovery procedure in an Oracle® Database environment that is not intended for disaster recovery might result in data loss in the database. Do not use a disaster recovery procedure to restore or recover individual datafiles or archive logs, or if you only intend to restore an Oracle Database SPFILE or a Control File.

Using the Stepwise Disaster Recovery process

This process runs a restore of the Control File from an Autobackup and restores the database datafiles using the same restore task. If you use this process, be aware of the following:

Select the Perform the following Step-by-Step Disaster Recovery option, and then select the applicable suboptions:
Set Dbid: If you want to specify the DBID, select this option. The plug-in automatically enters the DBID of the Oracle® Database for which the backup was taken in this field. The DBID is needed when a parameter file or SPFILE is not available to start the Oracle Database in a NOMOUNT state.
Restore Spfile from Autobackup; Look Back Max Days: If the Oracle Control File Autobackup option was enabled in your scheduled backups and you want to restore the SPFILE from an Autobackup, select this option. If Oracle Control File Autobackup was not enabled, you cannot restore the SPFILE from an Autobackup; for more information, see Enabling Control File Autobackups. By default, this option looks for Autobackups in the last seven days; update it as applicable. This option issues the following RMAN commands:
Restore Controlfile from Autobackup; Look Back Max Days: If the Oracle Control File Autobackup option was enabled in your scheduled backups and you want to restore the Control File from an Autobackup, select this option. If Oracle Control File Autobackup was not enabled, you cannot restore the Control File from an Autobackup; for more information, see Enabling Control File Autobackups. By default, this option looks for Autobackups in the last seven days; update it as applicable. This option issues the following RMAN commands:
Restore Database: If you want to restore all datafiles included in the Oracle Database, select this option. A restore database command attempts to restore all the datafiles in the Oracle database. This option issues the following RMAN command:
Recover Database: If you want to recover all datafiles included in the Oracle Database, select this option. A recover database command attempts to recover all the datafiles in the Oracle database. This recovery might include automatically restoring and applying archived transaction logs. This option issues the following RMAN command:
Alter Database Open Resetlogs: If you want to open the database with the RESETLOGS option, select this option. This option issues the following SQL*Plus command:

Disaster recovery to same server

The following procedure details the steps to perform disaster recovery to the same server where the source database resided. This procedure would be used in the scenario in which a complete media failure occurred and either the damaged host was rebuilt using the same configuration or a new server was configured imitating the original host’s configuration, including host name.

NOTE: You can also use the following procedure to restore the Oracle® Server to a different host, one that is not the original production server, while the production server is still active. However, as stated previously, if your goal is create a copy of the target production database for ongoing use on a new host, do not use this procedure. Instead, use the Duplicate Database backup type. For more information, see Duplicate Database backup.

The same procedure should be used whether a Recovery Catalog was being used as part of the backup strategy for the RMAN Repository. RMAN always stores information concerning the backups in records in the Control File. The version of this information in the Control File is the authoritative record of RMAN’s backups of your database. RMAN can conduct all necessary backup and recovery operations using just the repository information in the Control File.

For variations on the following disaster recovery procedure, see Performing Disaster Recovery in the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User’s Guide.

To perform a disaster recovery without a Recovery Catalog, the following requirements must be met:

Oracle Database software installed: Install the same version of the Oracle database software on the system as existed on the damaged server. The ORACLE_HOME should be identical on both the source and destination Oracle server. You do not have to create the database.
Oracle password file created: Use the orapwd utility to create the Oracle password file.
orapwd file=<Oracle_Home>/dbs/orapw<SID> password=<password>
orapwd file=<Oracle_Home>\database\orapw<SID> password=<password>
Oracle service on Windows created and started: Create the Oracle Service on Windows with Oracle’s oradim utility. The Oracle SID should be identical to the original or source database. This option creates an identical Oracle Service name. For example, from an OS prompt run:
NetVault Backup software and Plug‑in for Oracle installed: The same version of NetVault Backup software and the plug-in must be installed and configured as it originally existed on the damaged server. Ensure that the plug-in’s default attributes are defined as specified in Configuring default settings.
DBID of the source database identified: Identify the DBID of the damaged database. If the DBID was not recorded as part of the initial Plug‑in for Oracle installation, look for it in the NetVault Backup binary logs for RMAN-based backups of the source database. The DBID is also available on the Details dialog box or the Backup Contents tab.
Default location for SPFILE must exist: Verify that the default location for the SPFILE exists. Failure to do so results in an ORA-17502 Failed to create file error during the SPFILE restore.
Backups of all tablespaces made available: Verify that you have the latest backups of all the tablespaces.

To perform the recovery, complete the following steps.

If the External Configuration Files were included in a previous RMAN backup or the Plug-in for FileSystem was used to back up the Oracle Net Services configuration files, such as “listener.ora,” “sqlnet.ora,” and “tnsnames.ora,” restore the files to the destination Oracle Database Server. Otherwise, configure the Oracle Net Services on the destination Oracle server.
SET DBID <Source_DBID>;
