Hellow Everybody,

I was just trying to configure the RMAN, till I configure "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/RMANBKP/snapcf_prod01'" it was woring fine, and then I tried to configure the channel "CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/u01/RMANBKP/%U.bak' MAXPIECESIZE 4G;", I got the below error.

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of configure command at 08/09/2008 17:33:39

ORA-01580: error creating control backup file /u01/RMANBKP/SNCFprod01.ORA
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory

Tried to clear the configuration, but getting the same error.
Now I am not able to use SHOW ALL also as it tooreturns the same error.

Appreciate if you can guide me where I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.
Maddy

>>HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory

Are you sure file and directory exist? means PATH is correct.

Yeah I am sure that the path is correct.

I wanted to clear the configuration, but I am not even able to do so.

Well anacedent, I had specified the control file snapshot to the diffrent path where as it should have been set to the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.

I connected to the target database with /nocatalogoption then corrected the path to the $Oracle_home/dbs.

It worked fine.

However when I try to connect target database using a catalog option the problem remains the same, I ried to change the pathe same way as I did in nocatalog mode but error remains the same,what should be the problem.

Appreciate your guidenece in this regard.

Regards,
Maddy

/u01/RMANBKP/snapcf_prod01 and /u01/RMANBKP/SNCFprod01.ORA

These two paths don't seem to match?

If you can no longer execute show all, then you may have to go into SQL*Plus and issue the following as SYS:

Thanks for your response.

I did

SQL> execute dbms_backup_restore.resetConfig;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

I also used set snapshot contrilfile command to set the confile to the default $ORACLE_HOME/dbs path.
But when i try to do SHOW ALL, I am still getting the same error.

Did you perform the resetconfig on the target database?

Also, try to connect ONLY to the target database and run:

RMAN> CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME CLEAR;
RMAN> SHOW ALL;

Hi

I re-configured the RMAN settings and now when I try to take the backup of the tablespace namely "testtab", it gets backed up in the server mountpoints where database is stored,whereas I have configured the RMAN chennels to create the backup set on the catalog server which is a seperate server with a seperate storage connected.
I also noticed channel is ignored in the configuation.

You need CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT to the appropriate location and if you want multiple channels you should either ALLOCATE more than one channel or increase your PARALLELISM.

I realize you configured more than one channel, but your PARALLELISM is 1, plus in your example, you are ONLY backing up ONE datafile. Allocate and configure are two distinct parameters.

Thanks for your replies.

I did allocate channels manually, but still RMAN takes backup onto the DB server mountpoints, whereas I have dedicated a seperate server for catalog database and mountpoints to store backup pieces.

suppose DB Server A has mountpoints (1,2,3) and Catalog server B has mountpoins(4,5,6).

Database is in server 'A' and catalog DB is server 'B', now I want to take the RMAN backup of server A onto the mountpoints of server B.

But RMAN takes backup on the path /orasoft/ora10/dbs/

Where and what path do I set the so that RMAN takes backup on the server B mountpoints.

Please see the existing configuration below.

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 7;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/oradata01/cat/RMAN_BKP/ctl_sp_bak_%d_%t%F';
configuration for DISK channel 2 is ignored
configuration for DISK channel 3 is ignored
configuration for DISK channel 4 is ignored
configuration for DISK channel 5 is ignored
configuration for DISK channel 6 is ignored
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '/oradata02/cat/RMAN_BKP/%U.bak' MAXPIECESIZE 4 G;

If you want the backups to reside on the catalog server, you need to ensure the mount points are in place and the appropriate privileges are applied. Be aware that you could run into issues with NFS and RMAN.

Nevertheless, try to configure you settings as follows (this assumes parallelism of 3):

RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 3 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<path_to_remote_mount>/%U.bak';

Be careful with how many channels you configure for parallelism; this could have a huge impact on your server and backup performance.

I have DB server on 192.168.6.25 and catalog DB on 192.168.6.2 server.

I did re-config the settings as below

CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '192.168.6.2:/oradata02/cat/RMAN_BKP/%U.bak' MAXPIECESIZE 4 G;

but still backup pieces does not get backed up on the catalog server.

Please suggest!!

That's not even a valid path.

Can you simply perform the following as oracle from an O/S command prompt:

touch 192.168.6.2:/oradata02/cat/RMAN_BKP/test.bak

You need to specify a valid NFS mount point. Mount the remote directory appropriately and then specify that path in the FORMAT clause above.
