Step by Step rman restore to different host with ASM Migration

This post is about  RMAN restore from one host to another host. The database  will be migrated from file system to ASM disk as part of the restore.  There may be tons of post for RMAN restore. But i am not finding the detail level document for RMAN restore with ASM migration. I hope, this fills up the gap and useful  for others. This post is tested in Oracle 12c(12.1.0.2.0).

This post could be useful for the following circumstance.

1. The production database server is crashed and no Data Guard standby.
2. You need to test some of the bugs in test database with current production  image.
3. Migrating the database from  file system to ASM disk in new hardware.

I am going to call target database(the place where i am restoring) as auxiliary database,  source database as target database.

Here are the high level steps :

1. Backup the database in target database server. We can  also use recent L0 backup in the tape.
2. FTP the RMAN backups and password file  to auxiliary server
3. Restore the SPFILE,
4. Start the instance with nomount mode
5. Restore the control file
6. Mount the database
7. Restore  the database
8. Recover  the database  and  apply  new archive log files
9. Open the database
10. Create the temp file
11. Create spfile on ASM disk
12. Database verification and validation.

Target  DB info :

I am restoring the above database to the new host called ractest1. The RBDMS is already installed in ractest1 host and it is same as target database version.

Step1  I am using recent RMAN L0 backup  and Archive log backup in target server. I am using the below script to backup the database in target server. We can also use the recent full backup from tape if it is already available in tape. I am using disk backup for my convenience. 

usben_L0_backup.sh

Here is the log file for full backup.

Here is the log file for archive log backup.

Step 2 Copy the RMAN backup files to auxiliary server. Create the file system directories on auxiliary server.

Here i am using the ASM disk.  Hence, the file system directories are not needed. I created the directory in ASM disk.

[oracle@RACTEST1 ~]$ asmcmd
ASMCMD> cd +DATA
ASMCMD> mkdir USBEN

The RMAN backup files are coped to auxiliary server as below. Also copy the password file from target server to auxiliary database server.

Step3   Restore the SPFILE

Now the instance is started with temporary parameter file.  Let us restore the SPFILE from backup.

Create pfile from  above restored spfile and modify the parameters according to auxiliary database server. Copy the updated parameter file under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs location.

Here is the modified pfile in auxiliary database under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
initusben.ora

Step4    Start the instance using the above parameter with nomount mode:

Step5   Restore the control file.

Update the correct control file name in pfile.  Here is the updated pfile info under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

Step 6   Restart the instance with above modified pfile and mount the database.

Step 8  Recover  the  database.

Now it is time to open the database!   We can apply more archive log files if we have.. if not, then open the database with resetlog mode.

Let us apply few more archive log files and open the database.  We have archive log files between 302 to 332 on target database. These archive logs were generated right after my last archive log RMAN backup.   Let us FTP these archive files to auxiliary database server and  apply these 31 archive log files now..

recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

I enter AUTO and it applied all the archive log files from #302 to #332.

Applied the archive log files till sequence# 322.

Step 9  Open the database.

sys@usben> alter database open resetlogs; alter database open resetlogs * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00344: unable to re-create online log '/redo/oradata/usben/redo01.log' ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 1 sys@usben>

It looks like, it is trying to create the redo log file under /redo file system, But apparently, we don't have this file system in auxiliary database. We need these redo log should be created on ASM disk,.

Let us drop the above three files and create new redo group in ASM disk.

Step 11   Create the spfile in ASM disk.  We could do this step at the beginning too.  However, i do this step at the end for my convenience. 

sys@usben> show parameter spfile; NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ spfile                               string -- Creating spfile in ASM disk sys@usben> create spfile='+DATA/USBEN/PARAMETERFILE/spfileusben.ora' from PFILE; File created. sys@usben> ! -- Here i updated the parameter file to point to SPFILE in ASM disk. [oracle@RACTEST1 dbs]$ cat initusben.ora SPFILE='+DATA/USBEN/PARAMETERFILE/spfileusben.ora' [oracle@RACTEST1 dbs]$ -- Restart the database with spfile. sys@usben> shutdown immediate Database closed. Database dismounted. ORACLE instance shut down. sys@usben> startup ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area  281018368 bytes Fixed Size                  2923440 bytes Variable Size             222299216 bytes Database Buffers           50331648 bytes Redo Buffers                5464064 bytes Database mounted.

Step 12   Verify all the files and make sure all files are moved to ASM disk. Also watch out the alert log for a while. Create the listener and make sure able to connect outside the database server.

Now the database is successfully restored in different host. The database is also migrated to ASM disk as part of restore.
