Same procedure.
Just cross mount or NFS mount your backup area (say, if you are backing up to /backup) so that the /backup is visible from other node
Or
You need to copy the files.
If you are doing a point in time restoration, do a restoration/clone after taking a backup and point a point in time before. Else you may need to copy archived logs also.

Quoting myself.
>>Same procedure.

Just follow the same procedure that exists already.
Just change the sid,node, path etc.
And just refer to 9i manual.

This scenario is talking about restore stand alone db to anew host stand alone also, no mention for RAC as you know each instance of RAC has its own archivelog.

your help is appertained

Don't worry, RMAN knows which archived logs to apply, just give it access to them, all of them from both threads.

thanks Michel.

one more question , what you think about this note in the link.
can I use RESYNC CATALOG to resolve this issue?

Note:
If you perform a test restore only, then do not connect to the recovery catalog when restoring the datafiles. Otherwise, RMAN records information about the restored datafiles to the recovery catalog. This intereferes with future attempts to restore and recover the primary database. If you must use a recovery catalog because the control file is not large enough to contain the RMAN repository data on all of the backups that you need to restore, then export the catalog and import it into a different schema or database and use the copied recovery catalog for the test restore. Otherwise, the catalog considers the restored database as the current target database.

Regards

Sorry, I don't know the answer.
Tests have to be made.

You need to register again in recovery catalog.

Greeting,

when I connect to target DB to run a backup script, is it needed to connect with sys user or any other user has SYSDBA role?

Generally, any user with sysdba role.
Generally, there is a less need for more than one SYSDBA user (default being sys) in a typical database.

hi all,

full restore of my production DB was successfully restored to a test node and up to this point db is mounted.
now when I tried to open DB I got :
---------------------------------------------
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oradata/system_001.dbf'
-----------------------------------------------
I tried to do recover using rman also

run {
set archivelog destination to '/oradata/arch_files';
Allocate CHANNEL t1 DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' ;
restore archivelog all;
recover database;
Release channel t1;
}

the result is :
RMAN-00571: ====================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ========
RMAN-00571: ====================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 03/10/2008 08:12:57
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 2 seq 5179 scn 7248975219054 found to restore
notes : it shows many lines as RMAN-06025 !!
also I did not find any redo file restored !!

Is there any missing point on this case ?

thanks
