Re: SUMMARY: BIG PROBLEM

2001-08-08 Thread Rachel Carmichael

devil's advocate here. Having worked on budgets, and been management 
(hopefully NOT damagement) in my career:

full time employees have all sorts of additional costs. consultants can be 
fired at will. They also hit different budget lines -- non-fixed costs vs 
fixed costs.

this is not to say that firing a full-timer and hiring a consultant is 
always the right decision, in fact, it usually is the WRONG one. But for 
very short-term things, and with downsizing going on, it is sometimes the 
only option.

Edward,

I don't want to lead you astray.  I said your database backups were OK, but
if your recent backups were incremental - anything short of a full or Level
0 backup - they cannot be used for recovery without those archived redo
logs.  If you executed the "change archivelog all crosscheck;" command, then
you'll need to do a full cold or Level 0 backup and get all the archived
redo logs during that operation to have a good backup.  You'll also need to
ensure that you keep backing up all archived redo logs from now on.

Please tell your HR dept. for me that they are idiots and I said they need
to get you a good DBA!8^)

Edward,

Your database backup is OK.  RMan just can't backup and delete the archived
redo logs that you moved.

If you want RMan to backup, then delete, those archived redo logs, you'll
have to move them back to the drive from which they came.  Then do another
backup.  If you've got lots of logs, it may take several "batches" to get
them all.

If you just want to go forward, with RMan backing up and deleting the logs
from now on, issue the following command at the RMan prompt:

 allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
 change archivelog all crosscheck;
 release channel;

That will cause RMan to "forget about" the archived redo logs you've moved,
but it will pick up with the logs that have since been created and are still
in the expected directory.

Good luck.

Hello all, I just joined this list today and am in need of desperate help!!!
In its infinite wisdom HR decided to lay off our only oracle dba!!!

I am trying to get some backups working on our database using rman.
It seems to backup our datafiles ok, but I am getting the following error
...

RMAN-03022: compiling command: backup
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: backup
RMAN-06089: archived log /oradata/bdw/disk01/archive/bdw_1_24445.arc not
found or out of sync with catalog

The problem here is twofold:
1) It is looking in the wrong directory for the archive logs
2) We have been moving old archive logs off of the server to another server
to keep the disk from filling up while we were working on this backup
problem, so I do not want it looking for the old logs.

As I am not a DBA I have no clue how to fix this, but it needs to be done
A.S.A.P.  ...

Edward,

Your database backup is OK.  RMan just can't backup and delete the archived
redo logs that you moved.

If you want RMan to backup, then delete, those archived redo logs, you'll
have to move them back to the drive from which they came.  Then do another
backup.  If you've got lots of logs, it may take several "batches" to get
them all.

If you just want to go forward, with RMan backing up and deleting the logs
from now on, issue the following command at the RMan prompt:

 allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
 change archivelog all crosscheck;
 release channel;

That will cause RMan to "forget about" the archived redo logs you've moved,
but it will pick up with the logs that have since been created and are still
in the expected directory.

Good luck.

Jack

Hello all, I just joined this list today and am in need of desperate help!!!
In its infinite wisdom HR decided to lay off our only oracle dba!!!

I am trying to get some backups working on our database using rman.
It seems to backup our datafiles ok, but I am getting the following error
...

RMAN-03022: compiling command: backup
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: backup
RMAN-06089: archived log /oradata/bdw/disk01/archive/bdw_1_24445.arc not
found or out of sync with catalog

The problem here is twofold:
1) It is looking in the wrong directory for the archive logs
2) We have been moving old archive logs off of the server to another server
to keep the disk from filling up while we were working on this backup
problem, so I do not want it looking for the old logs.

As I am not a DBA I have no clue how to fix this, but it needs to be done
A.S.A.P.  ...

Thanks to anyone who can help me!!!

Does that mean you won't need an Oracle DBA anymore? :)
