Scenario 8 – Loss of all control files


Vəziyyət:

  • Bütün kontrol faylar silinmişdir
  • Kontrol faylın backupını aldıqdan sonra yeni yaradılmış data file silinmişdir
  • Kontrol faylın binary backup-ı vardır

.

Bu vəziyyəti test etmək üçün ilk öncə kontrol faylın binary backup-nı alırıq və daha sonra bütün kontrol faylları silirik:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[/pcsh]

DB-nı mount etmək üçün kontrol faylın backupını silinmiş faylların yerınə kopyalayırıq və adını dəyişirik. Sonra isə kontrol faylın backupından istifadə edərək recovery etməyə cəhd edirik:

Scenario 6 – Recover from lost of a member of Multiplexed Control File


Vəziyyət:

  • Kontrol fayllar multipleks olunmuşdur

Bu halda kontrol fayllar multipleks olunduğu üçün yenidən kontrol fayl yaratmağa ehtiyac qalmır. Silinmiş kontrol faylları bərpa etmək üçün sadəcə  bazanı söndürüb, qaydasında olan kontrol faylı silinmiş faylın yerinə kopylayıb adını silinmiş faylın adına dəyişirik. Gəlin bunu test edək:

İlk olaraq bütün kontrol fayllarımızın adını sorğulayırıq, daha sonra onlardan birini silib DB-nı reboot edirik.

Scenario 5 – Recovering from loss of all control files using binary backup control file


Recovering from loss of all control files using backup control

Vəziyyət:

  • Bütün kontrol fayllar silinmişdir
  • Kontrol faylın binary backupı var

.

Bu vəziyyəti yoxlamaq üçün ilk olaraq kontrol faylın binary backup-nı alırıq və bazanı söndürürük. DB-nı mount vəziyyətinə gətirmək istədikdə error ilə qarşılaşırıq:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[/pcsh]

Bu vəziyyətdən çıxış üçün binary backup-ı silinmiş kontrol faylların yerinə adını silinmiş faylların adına dəyişərək kopyalayır və bazanı mount edirik:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ cd /home/oracle/backups/
[oracle@orcl backups]$ cp ctl_binary_bckp.ctl /home/oracle/backups/controlfiles/control01.ctl

[oracle@orcl backups]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> alter database mount;
Database altered.

[/pcsh]

Recover database using backup control file komandasından istifadə edərək bazanı binary backup-dan recover etməyə cəhd edək:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[/pcsh]

Burada oracle bizə deyirki kontrol faylin backup-ı alındıqdan sonra edilmish deyishiklikler teqdim edilmelidir. Yuxarıda error bizə dəyishiklik olunmush redolog faylin adını ve scn nomresini teqdim edir. Spesifik scn-den 13877247  sonra deyishikler olunmush faylı dəqiq tapmaq üçün biz  log və archivelog  faylların yerləşdiyi view-ni sorğulayırıq:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[/pcsh]

Yuxarıdakı nəticədən görünür ki, 2 və 3 inactive olduğu üçün 1-ci qrupda olan dəyişikliklər əlavə olunmalıdır. Ona görədə biz yeniden recovery emrini işə salırıq və ona parametr olaraq redo log faylını /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/redo01.log veririk.

[/pcsh]Situation:

  • All control files are lost
  • You have binary backup of control file

.

At first lets take a binary backup of control files and shutdown force database. When you attempt to mount the database, you encounter with error:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[/pcsh]

Then copy binary backup of control file to te original control file’s destination and rename to the original control file name. Then mount the database:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ cd /home/oracle/backups/
[oracle@orcl backups]$ cp ctl_binary_bckp.ctl /home/oracle/backups/controlfiles/control01.ctl

[oracle@orcl backups]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> alter database mount;

[/pcsh]

You can use the recover database using backup control file command to tell Oracle that an attempt to recover the database from the binary copy of the control file:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

Changes after backup are not presented . To find a file that contains changes after specific scn 13877247 we query the v$log view

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> select group#,status,first_change# from v$log;

[/pcsh]

From result above we see that because second and third group is inactive ve must apply first group redo file . That’s why retrie recovery command with  /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/redo01.log parameter.

Scenario 4 – Recover from loss of the control files when no backup files are available


Vəziyyət:

  • Bütün kontrol fayllar silinmişdir
  • Kontrol Faylların backuplarıda həmçinin silinmişdir
.

Kontrol fayllar silinmişdir və kontrol faylların backup-ı yoxdur. Buna görə kontrol fayl create controlfile komandası vasitəsilə yenidən yaradılmalıdır. Bunu test etmək üçün  kontrol faylları silirik, kontrol fayl və redo log faylların yerləşdiyi yeri sorğulayedib nəticəni  saxlayırıq. Bu nəticə kontrol faylı yaradan zaman lazım olacaq. Daha sonra bazanı sondürürük. Bazanı mount etməyə cəhd etdikdə error baş verməlidir:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ rm *.ctl

[/pcsh]

Indi isə aşağıdakı qaydada create controlfile komandasından istifadə edərək kontrol faylı yaradırıq:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/

Database altered.

[/pcsh]Situation:

  • All control files have been lost
  • Backup of control files also lost
.

Control files lost and you have not backup of the control file. Therefore, you need to recreate the control file by the command create controlfile. To test this situation remove  control files, select name of datafiles, redo logs files and copy result somewhere. We will use this result when manually creating the control file. Then shut down the database.

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ rm *.ctl

SQL> select name from v$datafile;

[/pcsh]

Now you must manually create a statement which, when run, creates a control file. To manually create, control you need the names of all of the data files in the database. You can construct a CREATE CONTROLFILE statement as shown above:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl controlfiles]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/

Database altered.

[/pcsh]

Scenario 3 – When control files, datafiles and Redo Logs are lost


Vəziyyət:

  •  Bütün kontrol, redo log və data fayllar silinmişdir
  • Archive log-lar qaydasındadır
  • Bazanın full backup-ı var
  • Baza archive log rejimindədir
  • Kontrol faylın backup-ı var

Bu halda biz bazanı recover edə bilərik, lakin son dəyişikliklər hansı ki online redo log-larda yerləşir, redo loglar silindiyi üçün bərpa edilə bilməyəcək (Buna görədə Oracle redlo logları müxtəlif  yerlərdə multipleks etməyi məsləhət görür).

Bu ssenarini test etmək üçün içində məlumat olan bir cədvəl yaradırıq:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> create table test_tbl as select * from all_tables;
SQL> commit;
SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;

 COUNT(*)

     2736

[/pcsh]

Bazanın bakup-nı alırıq

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> backup database;
Then insert a lot more data to the table
SQL> insert into test_tbl select * from all_tables;
2737 rows created.
SQL> /
SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;
 COUNT(*)
----------
   52002

[/pcsh]

Bütün kontrol, redo log və  data faylları silirik .

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl ~]$ cd  /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/

[oracle@orcl DB11G]$ rm *
Then shut down darabase and restore control file from autobackup
SQL> shut abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;
Then mount and recovery database
RMAN> alter database mount;

RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 18 and starting SCN of 13707555

[/pcsh]

Sonda redo log silindiyindən Oracle archived faylı tapa bilmədiyi  üçün  error baş verir. Daha sonra bazanı resetlogs parametri ilə open edirik:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]

Bərpadan sonra cədvəlimizdəki sətirlərin sayını sorğulayırıq və nəticədə görürük ki, biz yalnız arxiv loglar vasitəsilə yadda saxlaya bildiyimiz məlumatları restore ede bilmşik. Online redologlarda olan məlumatlar istə bərpa olunmamışdır.

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;
 COUNT(*)
----------
     2736

[/pcsh]Situation:

  • All control files, redo log files and data files have been lost
  • Archive logs are available
  • We have a full backup of this database
  • The database running in archive log mode
  • We have a backup of the control file

In this situation we can recover database but we cannot be able apply last changes that were in the online redo logs (That is why Oracle recommends multiplexing the redo log files to different hard drives.).

1

To test this recovery scenario first we create a table with data:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> create table test_tbl as select * from all_tables;
SQL> commit;
SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;

 COUNT(*)
----------
     2736

[/pcsh]

Then backup the database

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> backup database;
Then insert a lot more data to the table
SQL> insert into test_tbl select * from all_tables;
2737 rows created.
SQL> /
SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;
 COUNT(*)
----------
   52002

[/pcsh]

Then we remove all control files, data files and redo log files to crash the database.

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl ~]$ cd  /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/ 
[oracle@orcl DB11G]$ ls
control01.ctl  redo01.log  redo02.log  redo03.log  sysaux01.dbf  system01.dbf  temp01.dbf  undotbs01.dbf  users01.dbf
[oracle@orcl DB11G]$ rm *
Then shut down darabase and restore control file from autobackup
SQL> shut abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;
Then mount and recovery database
RMAN> alter database mount;

RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 18 and starting SCN of 13707555

[/pcsh]

Suddenly you get an error because oracle cannot find the archived file because redo log is deleted. Then open the database with resetlogs option:

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]

Select rowcount of the table, and you’ll see we could only recover data in archived logs. Data in online redo logs are lost.

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> select count(*) from test_tbl;
 COUNT(*)
----------
     2736

[/pcsh]

Scenario 2 – Recovery when control files and data files are lost


Vəziyyət:

  • Bütün kontrol fayllar və Data fayllar silinmişdir
  • Redo loglar və archive logs yerindədir
  • Bazanın full backup-ı alınmışdır
  • Baza archive log rejimində işləyir
  • Kontrol faylın backup-ı alınmışdır

Remove all the control files to other directory which is equalivalent to loseing all of control files.

[oracle@orcl u01]$ rm /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/*.dbf *.ctl

Bazanı söndürüb nomount rejimində işə salırıq:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> shut abort

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount;

ORACLE instance started.

[/pcsh]

Kontrol faylı backup-dan geri qaytarıb, bazanı mount rejimində işə salırıq:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;

RMAN> alter database mount;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

database mounted

[/pcsh]

Sonra bazanı restore və recovery edirik və bazanı resetlogs komandası ilə open edirik:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> restore database;

RMAN> recover database;

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]Situation:

  • All control files and datafiles have been lost
  • Redo logs and archivelogs are available
  • We have full backup of this database
  • Database runing in archive log mode
  • We have a backup of control file

Remove all the control files:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

[oracle@orcl u01]$ rm /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/*.dbf *.ctl

[/pcsh]

Shutdown database in abort mode and startup it nomount mode

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> shut abort

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount;

ORACLE instance started.

[/pcsh]

To restore control file from backup and mount the database

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;

RMAN> alter database mount;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

database mounted

[/pcsh]

Then, restore and recovery database

[pcsh lang=”applescript” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> restore database;

RMAN> recover database;

[/pcsh]

Complete recovery is done. Then open database with resetlogs and all is done.

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]

Scenario 1 – Restore control file from backup after loss of all control files


Vəziyyət:

  • Kontrol faylın bütün nüsxələri silinmişdir
  • Data fayllar və online redo loglar qaydasındadır
  • Kontrol faylımızın backup-ı var
  • Database archive log rejimində işləyir

İlk olaraq biz kontrol fayllarımızın harada yerləşdiyinə baxırıq

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control02.ctl

[/pcsh]

Daha sonra kontrol saylların itməsini simulasiya etmək üçün  bütün kontrol faylları başqa bir direktoriyaya köçürürük:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

Kontrol faylın silinməsini yoxlamaq üçün, kontrol fayldan gələn  bir məlumatı sorğulayırıq. Məlumat olmadığı üçün error baş verməlidir. Lakin bunu etməzdən oncə SQLplus-a yenidən qoşulmaq lazımdır, çünki əgər siz öncəki sessiyaya qoşula qalmısınızsa error baş verməyə bilər.

Artır bizim bütün kontrol fayllarımız itmişdir, indi bu vəziyyətdən geri qayıtmaq üçün aşağıdakı addımları etmək lazımdır.

Bazanı sondürüb nomount vəziyyətinə kimi işə salmaq lazımdır. Daha sonra kontrol fayllarımızı aoutobackup-dan geri qaytarırıq:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
::::::::::::::output trimmed::::::::::::::

output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl

output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control02.ctl

Finished restore at 28-APR-15

Then bring the database mount state and recover the database

RMAN> alter database mount;

RMAN> recover database;

Issue resetlogs command  and  open database

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9VrdfRaO38Situation:

  • All copies of control file have been lost
  • Data files and online redo logs are fine
  • We have a backup of the control file
  • Database is running in archive log mode

First, we look where is located our control files

[pcsh lang=”sql” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control02.ctl

[/pcsh]

Then remove all the control files to another directory which is equivalent to losing all of the control files.

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> !mv /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/*.ctl /u01/

[/pcsh]

Make sure that an error occurs, access something which would only come from the control file. But firs reconnect to SQLplus , because errors may not be seen when still being connected to previous session.

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> exit
[oracle@orcl]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> select * from v$database;

select * from v$database

*ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00210: cannot open the specified control file

ORA-00202: control file: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

[/pcsh]

So there are no more control files there.

For recovery follow the steps bellow:

Shut down database, then start the database in nomount state and restore the controlfile from autobackup:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
::::::::::::::output trimmed::::::::::::::

RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;

:::::::::::::: output trimmed ::::::::::::::

output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl

output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control02.ctl

Finished restore at 28-APR-15

[/pcsh]

Bring the database mount state and recover the database. Then issue resetlogs command  and  open database:

[pcsh lang=”bash” tab_size=”4″ message=”” hl_lines=”” provider=”manual”]

RMAN> alter database mount;

RMAN> recover database;

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
database opened

[/pcsh]
