Transcript of Creating Duplicate Database Using RMAN
CREATING DUPLICATE DATABASE
Creation of duplicate database is more of a necessity and should not be viewed as a luxury. If you are in an environment where you have “DEV”, “TEST”, “STAGE” and “PROD” or some combination of these, you may, in all probability, be required to create Duplicate databases on a regular basis. The whole process can also be automated and you don’t thereafter need to lose sleepless nights for Database duplication. Here it is endeavored to be run in more or less “cut and paste” form for clarity of understanding.
Database Version :- 9.2.0.4
Operating System :- Redhat Advanced Server 3.0
Scenario :- There are three servers :-
TARGET Server – The machine where you have the database to be cloned. This machine has IP address as 10.8.169.94. ORACLE_SID=TGT
RMAN Server – The machine, which is running RMAN catalog. The IP address of this machine is 10.8.169.99. ORACLE_SID=RMND
DUPLICATE Server – The machine, which is running RMAN catalog. The IP address of this machine is 10.8.169.96. ORACLE_SID=AUX Following is assumed: -
- All three databases are running in ARCHIVELOG Mode. Though it is necessary only for the TARGET database to be in ARCHIVELOG mode.
- RMAN with CATALOG has been implemented on the RMAN server. - The target database has been registered in the RMAN CATALOG. - The connect string for the target database is TGT- The connect string for the auxiliary database (where duplicate is to be created
is AUX)- The connect string for the RMAN database is RMND- The tnsnames.ora file for all the three servers have been updated and you can
connect to any server from any server using the appropriate connect string
For the purpose of this project it is proposed that the directory structure in all the three databases be identical. It helps to follow the principle of “KISS” (Keep it simple, Stupid!).In our environment, we follow the following nomenclature :-
Under “/” directory (only directories having anything to with oracle have been shown):-
drwxr-xr-x 56 root root 4096 May 14 14:50 etc (has two files “oratab” and “oraInst.loc”)drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 6 21:44 home
(has the home for oracle user – “/home/oracle” – Good place for your healthcheck, export, backup scripts)drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 6 21:40 opt( has oracle binaries installed as per OFA as follows:-ORACLE_BASE =/opt/oracleORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0 )drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 14 14:41 oraarch1(Archives from first member of all the groups is sent here)drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 14 14:42 oraarch2(Archives from the second members of all the groups are sent here )drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 18 10:06 oraback(has two directories – “Hotback” and “Export” – one for hot backups and the other for all kinds of exports)drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 14 14:42 oradata1(The datafiles including system, tools and example are kept here. In case of applications datafiles, the same can be sent to different disks for performance reasons. Therefore, you may have oradata2, oradata3 etc under “/”)drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oradba 4096 May 13 10:13 oraindex1(The datafiles including system, tools and example are kept here. In case of applications datafiles, the same can be sent to different disks for performance reasons. Therefore, you may have oradata2, oradata3 etc under “/”)drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 14 14:43 oraredo1(The first members of the redo groups are located here)drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 14 14:43 oraredo2(The second members of the redo groups are located here)drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oradba 4096 May 6 14:50 software(The installable of the oracle software can be kept here)drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 May 6 12:16 usr(It has three files under /usr/local/bin :-“oraenv”, “coraenv” and “dbhome”)
Preliminary Steps
On Target Server, run these commands to make its backup directory shared:-
#echo “/oraback 10.8.169.96(rw)” >> /etc/exports
The /etc/exports files is read by nfs deamon and the resources mentioned therein are mounted with the stated options.
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop#/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop#/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start#/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
On Duplicate Server, run these commands as “root” user to mount the backed up files:-
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop#/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop#/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start#/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
#mount 10.8.169.94:/oraback /oraback
Check whether the resource has mounted
# mount#su – oraclecd /chmod –R 755 /oraback
$cd /oraback/Hotback$ls –altotal 1116388drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 19 14:25 .drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 May 12 14:46 ..-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 2097152 May 19 14:25 c-342784712-200405-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 212478464 May 19 14:15 TGTf_10fm5na1_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 209715200 May 19 14:15 TGTf_11fm5na1_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 83073536 May 19 14:15 TGTf_12fm5na1_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 2185728 May 19 14:15 TGTf_13fm5nbh_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 586088448 May 19 14:19 TGTf_14fm5nd4_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 15769600 May 19 14:25 TGTf_15fm5nd4_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 27869184 May 19 14:25 TGTf_16fm5nd4_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 643072 May 19 14:25 TGTf_17fm5nuf_1_-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oradba 2056192 May 19 14:25 snapcf_V92321.f
This command should show you the same resource as on the /oraback of TARGET server.
The oracle initialization parameters need to be changed. The mandatory init.ora parameters in TARGET database:-
$ vi /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/initTGT.oradb_name=AUXdb_files = 80 db_file_multiblock_read_count = 8 db_block_buffers = 100 db_block_size = 8192shared_pool_size = 3500000 log_checkpoint_interval = 10000processes = 50 parallel_max_servers = 5 log_buffer = 32768 max_dump_file_size = 10240 global_names = TRUEcontrol_files = (/oradata1/ora_control1, /oradata1/ora_control2)compatible = 9.2.0.0undo_management=AUTOremote_login_passwordfile= EXCLUSIVE
Ensure that the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter should be same and undo_management set to “AUTO” in both the databases.
On the AUX server, modify the init.ora file as follows:-
$ vi /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/initAUX.oradb_name=AUXdb_files = 80 db_file_multiblock_read_count = 8 db_block_buffers = 100 db_block_size = 8192shared_pool_size = 3500000 log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
processes = 50 parallel_max_servers = 5 log_buffer = 32768 max_dump_file_size = 10240 global_names = TRUEcontrol_files = (/oradata1/ora_control1, /oradata1/ora_control2)compatible = 9.2.0.0undo_management=AUTOremote_login_passwordfile= EXCLUSIVE
Duplicate Database Creation
Run the following commands on target database only.
Sqlplus “/as sysdba”SQL>Alter system switch logfile;Exit
$rman target / catalog rman/rman@RMND2 auxiliary sys/<pwd>@AUX
RMAN>run {allocate channel C1 device type disk;allocate channel C2 device type disk;allocate channel C3 device type disk;backup format '/oraback/%df_%U' database plus archivelog delete input;}
After you have taken the backup, your /oraback/Hotback directory will look something like this:-
$ cd /oraback/Hotback$ ls -altotal 1116388drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 4096 May 19 14:25 .drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 May 12 14:46 ..-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 2097152 May 19 14:25 c-342784712-200405-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 212478464 May 19 14:15 TGTf_10fm5na1_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 209715200 May 19 14:15 TGTf_11fm5na1_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 83073536 May 19 14:15 TGTf_12fm5na1_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 2185728 May 19 14:15 TGTf_13fm5nbh_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 586088448 May 19 14:19 TGTf_14fm5nd4_1-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 15769600 May 19 14:25 TGTf_15fm5nd4_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 27869184 May 19 14:25 TGTf_16fm5nd4_1_-rw-r----- 1 oracle oradba 643072 May 19 14:25 TGTf_17fm5nuf_1_-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oradba 2056192 May 19 14:25 snapcf_V92321.f
To create Duplicate database, run this command immediately after you have taken the backup. It is better to put this command in a script and call the script:-
$vi DuplicateDB.sql
run{SET UNTIL TIME "to_date('2004/05/19 14:25:00','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')";SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/oraindex1/TGT_idx01.dbf' TO '/oraindex1/AUX/TGT_idx01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/oradata1/TGT_data01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/TGT_data01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/xdb01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/xdb01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/users01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/users01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/tools01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/tools01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/odm01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/odm01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/indx01.dbf' TO '/oraindex1/AUX/indx01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/example01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/example01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/drsys01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/drsys01.dbf';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/cwmlite01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/cwmlite01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/undotbs01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/undotbs01.dbf';SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/TGT/system01.dbf' TO '/oradata1/AUX/system01.dbf';DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO AUXLOGFILEGROUP 1 ('/oradata1/redo01a.log','/oradata1/redo01b.log') size 10M reuse,GROUP 2 ('/oradata1/redo02a.log','/oradata1/redo02b.log') size 10M reuse;}
Now call the script to create the duplicate database.
$rman target / catalog rman/rman@RMND2 auxiliary sys/<pwd>@AUX RMAN>@/home/oracle/DuplicateDB.sql
The Process
For the purpose of understanding, it should be noted that following steps will happen during this command :-
- Allocation of channels- Restoration of files from their present location to the new location on the
duplicate database- Creation of controlfile- Switching of the datafiles’ names- Recovery of datafiles- Deletion of input logs- Opening the database with “RESETLOGS” option
The output should roughly look like this :-
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
executing command: SET NEWNAME
