Hello list,
I might have a interesting error at hand, Please note i already have opened a ticket with oracle, but not getting good enough response. We started doing RMAN backup of one of our system(backup check logical database...) and found that there is some corruption on the system datafile. When i ran DBV i get the below errors and DBV also says "Total Pages Marked Corrupt : 0". We do not know how long this corruption has been in our system as we recently started doing RMAN backup on it and that failed on FIRST day of our backup.
Selecting out of v$database_block_corruption show we have about 43 blocks thats are corrupted and CORRUPTION_TYPE is UNKNOWN and when i try to find out which segments are affected. They are all empty blocks.
Oracle answer was "We have no other options or workarounds other than rebuilding this database, or setting the maxcorrupt clause for that datafile"
i supposed i can live with setting up maxcorrupt caluse i our backup script, but what worries me the most is that this is datafile#1(system datafile).
i tried following this note "How to Format Corrupted Block Not Part of Any Segment (Doc ID 336133.1)" but that dose not seem to help, and there is a big DISCLAIMER that says :-The steps given in this note are not always guaranteed to work.
Also the below error on DBV are something i could not find anything on oracle support or google. Oracle version is 10.2.0.5 and do note this is a dictionary manage tablespace. One more wierd part about this error. When i run "backup validate check logical datafile 1", in the alert log we get error pointing to datafile# 16. DBV on that datafile dose not produce any error(also ran backup validate check logical datafile 16 followed by select on v$database_block_corruption and no errors there), this datafile 16 is part of a tablespace that is also dictionary managed tablespace. This DB has multiple tablespace, half of them locally managed and half dictionary managed(back from 8i incarnation of this database).
Error backing up file 16, block 12557: logical corruption Error backing up file 16, block 12561: logical corruption Error backing up file 16, block 12589: logical corruption Error backing up file 16, block 12593: logical corruption
So my question is how do i get rid of this? Is there a way to insert rows into a specific block, so that it can be reformatted ? I have also attached output.txt file of DBV and select on v$database_block_corruption for better readability(in case needed by someone).
