Ian, This is a problem I run into a great deal. Before you backup issue this command (I assume 9i here and pre-configured defaults so no allocate channel commands):
crosscheck archivelog all; backup database archivelog all; The crosscheck command will compare the archivelogs currently on disk to those in the control file. Any missing will be marked expired. If you were to restore them you can run the crosscheck command to remark them as available. /*+ Cheap_Plug(this is in my RMAN book by the way... :-) ) */ HTH, RF -----Original Message----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 6/18/2003 3:05 PM Ian, You can try resyncing the catalog and if that still doesn't work try to uncatalog that log: rman> change archivelog '/full_path/log_name_8192.arc' uncatalog;' Ruth ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 10:14 PM > A few days ago the physicists turned on what they call the waveform channels. The channel archive database tracking this information was able to withstand the additional 2,000,000 rows per hour load for 20 + hours. Then the 257 errors hit. As we are migrating from a very old ADSM system to TSM with a better SILO, this database seemed a good choice. The old backup system is still handling a score of databases without using RMAN. I was also able to procure an additional 18 GB internal disk on which to place the archived redo logs. I shutdown the channel archive database (9.0.1.3) changed the destination parameter for archive logs to point to the new location, then did an alter system switch logfile. I then logged into the RMAN catalog and registered the database for the first time. > > I tried > > run > { > allocate channel c1 device type sbt format 'df_%t_%s_%p' maxpiecesize=2048M > PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/oracle/dbserver/9.0.1/lib/libobk.so, > ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)"; > backup archivelog all delete input; > release channel c1; > } > > But it wanted log sequence 8192 which was backed up and deleted on the old system long ago. > > Any way > > run > { > allocate channel c1 device type sbt format 'df_%t_%s_%p' maxpiecesize=2048M > PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/oracle/dbserver/9.0.1/lib/libobk.so, > ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)"; > backup archivelog from sequence 9645 delete input; > release channel c1; > } > > Backed up that log file. I then ran a backup of all the data files to get even the read only ones, and then a backup of the read write tablespaces. I didn't include archive logs in these backups. I have asked the physicists to hold off on their 2,000,000 rows per hour data which they can do for a while. They had some other waveform data which created slightly over 7,000,000 records per day. I placed the archive log backup as written above into a different cron job. Currently invoked hourly, than the one for the database backup invoked daily. > > All backups use the recovery catalog.
