Hello all, I have set up a single instance standbys for rac databases. Now, I need to offload the backups from the primary on to the standbys. I learnt a few points to achieve this.
1. cancel managed recovery
2. connect to target(standby) and catalog and backup the standby
3. put standby in managed recovery mode.

I think following these steps, I can restore primary(?). Now, My question is, how can I use these standby backups to clone/refresh databases? I tried it by connecting to target(primary), catalog and auxiliary but rman is using the primary backups instead of standby's to refresh the auxiliary database. If anyone can help me with their suggestions that would be great.

I have a 11202 oracle on a linux box.

>> I have set up a single instance standbys for rac databases. Now, I need to offload the backups from the primary on to the standbys.

Do you mean you want to rebuild the standby database using latest primary copy ?

>>how can I use these standby backups to clone/refresh databases?

1, via RMAN Standby duplicate

2, Physical HOT backups

No, I mean, I already have standby databases. Now I need to backup standby database and create a clone database using those backups that I took on standby database using RMAN. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What do you mean ? If your standby database sync with primary why you need to take backup in standby database? you should take backup in primary right?

I can take backups on either primary or standby. In order to reduce the load on primary servers, I want to take the backups on standby. We can use these backups taken on standby to restore primary database. But I need to know whether can we clone a database with the same backups taken on standby.

Thanks Blackswan, thanks for the confirmation. Can you correct me, I followed the below steps but it didn't workout for me.

1. cancel managed recovery
2. connect to target(standby) and catalog and backup the standby
3. put standby in managed recovery mode.
4. Start the auxiliary instance in nomount stage.
5. Connect to primary, catalog, auxiliary with rman
6. duplicate target database to <auxiliary dbname>

But RMAN is not recognizing the backups which I took on the standby. It is duplicating using the previous backups of primary but not with the backup which I took on standby.

As per my understanding, primary should be aware of the backups taken on the standby by connecting to catalog .

Am I missing something, or am I completely wrong. Can you please advise/correct me?


P.S. I want to try this way too apart from the active database duplication.

I just tried to whatever you are tried but slightly different way.The summary steps are as below.

1) Configure primary database for offload backup at standby location.
2) Backup at standby database location

3) Shutdown primary database and delete one datafile.

4) Copy backup from standby location to primary location (This steps could be avoided by using shared location or tape device)

5) Restore and recover datafile using backup TAG= TAG20111230T190325 (just to ensure backup is generated at standby location.
