FAQ
Dear List,

I have a database 'rtest' and catalog database 'rcat' on machine: A and
Iam taking regular RMAN TAPE backups of 'rtest' database using the catalog
database 'rcat'.
I need to restore the latest RMAN tape backup of 'rtest' database onto
another brand new box: B.
Is there a way to restore other than using the "duplicate database feature"
??????

I need to use RMAN backup only in order to restore onto Machine B. Copying
the datafiles on to tape and retoring on to machine B is not feasible (as
the original database I would like to restore ultimately is a very large
production database and downtime is not acceptable). I have already setup
access to RMAN backups from HOST B using netbackup.

Please suggest me a simplified solution for restoring RMAN backups on to a
different host.

Thanks,
-- Babu

    Dear List,

    Iam following the procedure to restore database from RMAN backup from HOST_A
    to HOST_B with a recovery catalog.

    I copied the init.ora file to HOST_B
    on HOST_B, I made an entry in oratab for 'rtest' database and switch to
    'rtest' database using . oraenv
    issued: rman target / catalog rman/rman@
    startup nomount;
    run {
    allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape';
    restore controlfile;
    }

    It generates the following error. "list backup of controlfile" is showing up
    the backup entries.

    Janardhana Babu Donga,

    hi, which backup software are u using? as far as i know, you must setup something in the second node so that MML software can THINK it is the node that is backed up, so it can restore back.

    Babu,

    You need to copy your backup files to HOST_B. If your file systems are different thant HOST_A, create symbolic links for the directories where rman expects to find the backups.

    I agree with Jay, you need to create symbolic links that mimic the
    locations RMAN hopes to find the backup files.

    I was unable to get RMAN to restore the control file. The problem I
    encountered was that RMAN required the target database to be mounted first,
    but without a control file I couldn't mount the database. Someone the list
    reported that this was possible, but I finally just said that it was easier
    to create a backup control file outside RMAN and use that.

    The RMAN information needed to restore is probably still available in the
    control file. I found that to simplify the type of recovery you are
    attempting.

    RMAN will need the archive logs that were created during the time it was
    performing the backup in order to get the data files back to the same SCN.

    This task took me awhile, so be patient.

    About restoring controlfiles, if I remember this correctly as I did just
    this a few months ago:

    You have to startup database nomount.

    Then restore controlfile.

    Then alter database mount.

    Then restore database.
