SMON - How it will handle instance recovery

Instance recovery occurs in two steps:
1.Cache Recovery
2.Transaction Recovery
Cache recovery:
Changes being made to a database are recorded in the database buffer cache. These changes are also recorded in online redo log files simultaneously.
When there are enough data in the database buffer cache, they are written to data files.
If an Oracle instance fails before the data in the database buffer cache are written to data files, Oracle uses the data recorded in the online redo log files to recover the lost data when the associated database is re-started. This process is called cache recovery.

Transaction recovery:
When a transaction modifies data in a database, the before image of the modified data is stored in an undo segment.The data stored in the undo segment is used to restore the original values in case a transaction is rolled back. At the time of an instance failure, the database may have uncommitted transactions. It is possible that changes made by these uncommitted transactions have gotten saved in data files.(We don't have any mechanism to track this)
To maintain read consistency, Oracle rolls back all uncommitted transactions when the associated database is re-started. Oracle uses the undo data stored in undo segments to accomplish this. This process is called transaction recovery.

ORA-01565

ORA-01565: error in identifying file /dbs/spfile@.ora
When we’re going to create pfile from spfile while spfile running on ASM instance, We can face the below errors,
SQL> create pfile=’/u01/inittest.ora’ from spfile;
create pfile=’/u01/inittest.ora’ from spfile
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01565: error in identifying file ‘?/dbs/spfile@.ora’
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

Solution :
We need to give ASM path of SPFILE.
SQL> create pfile=’/u01/inittest.ora’ from spfile=’+DATA/dbasm/spfiledbasm.ora’;
File created.

ORA-01031

Could not validate asmsnmp password due to following error ora-01031:insufficent privileges
[oracle@db1 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
[oracle@db1 ~]$ export PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/bin
[oracle@db1 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
[oracle@db1 ~]$ sqlplus sys/sys as sysasm
SQL> create user asmsnmp identified by asmsnmp;
User created.
SQL> grant sysdba to asmsnmp;
Grant succeeded.

Encryption for RMAN Backup

RAM backups are unencrypted.

we can encrypt any rman backup in the form of a backup set.

we can encrypt in two ways ie transport and password encryption

Password Encryption:


$export ORACLE_SID=TEMP

$rlwrap rman target sys/oracle

rman>set encryption on identified only;


Here i am choosing encryption on tablespace ie users

rman>configure encryption for tablespace users on;

rman>sql'alter tablespace users offline';

rman>restore tablespace users;

failed we need to

Rman>set decryption identified by ;

Rman>restore tablespace users;

rman> recover tablespace users;

rman>sql'alter tablespace users online';

Duplicate Database Using RMAN

You want to use RMAN to create a duplicate database on the same server by using RMAN backups.

My Source Database Name is MYTEST

Target (duplicate) Database name is MYDB

Step 1: Configure Listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files

tnsnames.ora file

MYTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = mytest)
)
)

MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = mydb)
)
)

listener.ora file

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = mytest)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = mytest)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME= mydb)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = mydb)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

Step 2: create pfile for target database from source database

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

File created.

Step 3: modified parameter file for target database (duplicate) here log_file_name_convert and db_file_name_convert and control file location is important, further your choice.

*.audit_file_dest=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/mydb/adump’
*.compatible=’10.2.0.1.0′
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_domain=”
*.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
*.db_name=’mydb’
*.control_files=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control01.ctl’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control02.ctl’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control03.ctl’
*.db_file_name_convert=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/mytest’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb’
*.log_file_name_convert=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/mytest’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb’
*.db_recovery_file_dest=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area’
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=2147483648
*.dispatchers=’(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=mydbXDB)’
*.job_queue_processes=10
*.open_cursors=300
*.pga_aggregate_target=94371840
*.processes=150
*.remote_login_passwordfile=’EXCLUSIVE’
*.sga_target=285212672
*.undo_management=’AUTO’
*.undo_tablespace=’UNDOTBS1′

Step 4: Create password file

[oracle@localhost ~]$orapwd file=orapwmydb password=oracle entries=5

Step 5: start your target database nomount stage

[oracle@localhost ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=mydb
[oracle@localhost ~]$ rlwrap sqlplus
