1) RMAN on Oracle 8.1.7
2) Create a latest backupset using:
rman nocatalog
run
{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup database;
backup current controlfile;
backup archivelog all;
}
3) Delete all *.dbf, control and archive log files (simulate a
catastrophic database loss).
4) Restore controlfile from the lastest rman backupset using the
pl/sql script available in the Oracle 8i Recovery Manager User Guide
and Reference.
5) Now controlfile is restored and I startup the database nomount.
6) Attempting to restore database using rman results in rman saying
that the latest backup set in unavailable.
7) This is because I used the controlfile as the rman repository. And
when I back-uped the controlfile, the controlfile did not yet have the
updated backupset information.
8) How do you solve this problem?
Thanks.
