Restoring Database to a new location using rman

Scenario

All database files got lost (controlfiles,redo,datafiles), server parameter files is also lost (spfile).

The database has to be restored meeting the following conditions
  1. After restoring all database files(controlfiles, redolog, datafiles) should have new location
  2. Spfile will be residing at  same location.

Environment

Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0
OEL 5.7


Before Disaster

Database files (datafiles,controlfiles,redo) /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl
spfil $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
archive log location /u01/oracle/arch
backup controlfile location -/u01/app/oracle/
controlfile autobackup is turned on

After recovery

spfile same location ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs)
databasfiles and controlfiles /u01/oracle/oradata/orcl
archive log location /u01/oracle/arch

There is a controlfile autobackup and database backup taken sometime before disaster.


Restoring and recovering


  • Create new directory structures
          cd /u01/oracle
          mkdir -p oradata/orcl

  • start rman
          cd /u01/oracle/bkp
          rman target / | tee -a rman_test_log.log

  • set dbid
          set dbid=1334549344

  • startup database in nomount mode
          startup nomount;

  • set controlfile autobackup format (the autoback was not at its default location)
          set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u01/app/oracle/%F'

  • restore spfile
          restore spfile from autobackup;

  • shutdown and startup in nomount(this will start with newly created spfile)
          startup nomount force ;

  • set controlfile new location
          sql "alter system set control_files=''/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/    control01.dbf'',''/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/control02.dbf'' scope=spfile" ;

  • shutdown and startup in nomount(for controlfile new location to take effect)
          startup nomount force ;

  • make sure the controlfile location is set to our new location with sqlplus
          sqlplus / as sysdba
          show parameter controlfile

previous
   control_files string /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/control01.ctl, /u01/app/   oracle/oradata/orcl/control02.ctl


now
 control_files string /u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/control01.dbf, /u01/oracle/ oradata/orcl/control02.dbf



  •   restore controlfile (it should be restored in new location)
          restore controlfile from autobackup;

  • now mount the database
          alter database mount ;
  • run the rman command to rename datafiles,tempfile to newlocation and restore the database
   run
  { 
  set newname for database to '/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/%b' ;
  restore database ;
  switch datafile all;
  switch tempfile all;
  }


  • run sql statements to rename redo logs to new location

          SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/ redo01.log'' TO ''/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo01.log'' ";
          SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/ redo02.log'' TO ''/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo02.log'' ";

          SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo03.log'' TO ''/u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo03.log'' ";

  • recover database until last sequence
          recover database until sequence 7 ;

  • open database with resetlogs
          alter database open resetlogs ;
