Restore the RMAN backup of a Oracle 12c RAC to a non ASM Single Instance database

We have a RMAN full backup Oracle 12c RAC ( 1 CDB +3 PDB )  and we want to restore it to a non ASM single instance database.

First take database full backup +(archive log, controlfile, spfile), then copy backups and parameter file of the RAC database to the destination server. Edit copied parameter file to create parameter file for the single instsance database like above:

TESTCDB.__db_cache_size=12569803776
TESTCDB.__java_pool_size=459524096

If we restore backup to the server which have a old restored copy of the database, then we must drop database and remove all data on Flash Recovery Area:

Create directories that where we will restore datafiles and controlfile

[oracle@TESTdb4]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTCDB/TESTCDB/DATAFILE/PDBSEED
[oracle@TESTdb4]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTCDB
[oracle@TESTdb4]$ mkdir PDB1 PDB2 PDB3 CONTROLFILE

Connect to the RMAN and restore control file:

[oracle@testdb4 oradata]$ rman target /

RMAN> set decryption identified by 'yourpassword';
executing command: SET decryption
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

RMAN> restore controlfile from '/home/oracle/backup/rman/bkp2/testcdb_contolfile_23r3h7rc_1_1.bkp';

Starting restore at 20-APR-16

output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTCDB/CONTROLFILE/control10.ctl
Finished restore at 20-APR-16

Then create spfile and pfile from our init.ora file , startup mount the database and catalog the copied  backups .:

RMAN> create spfile from pfile='/u01/initTESTCDB.ora';

RMAN> create pfile from spfile;

SQL> shutdown immediate;

You can generate RMAN restore scripts using queries below:

--For Daatafiles
SELECT    'set newname for datafile '
       || file#
       || ' to ''/your_new_datafile_location/'
       || SUBSTR (name, 17, LENGTH (name) - 16)
       || ''';'
  FROM v$datafile;

--For Tempfiles
SELECT    'set newname for datafile '
       || file#
       || ' to ''/your_new_tempfile_location/'
       || SUBSTR (name, 17, LENGTH (name) - 16)
       || ''';'
  FROM v$tempfile;

--For Redologs
SELECT    'sql "alter database rename file '''''
       || MEMBER
       || ''''' to '
       || '''''/u01/app/oracle/oradata/logfile_'
       || ROWNUM
       || ''''' ";'
  FROM v$logfile

Set new name for all datafiles,tempfiles and logfile and then restore them

set newname for database to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTCDB/TESTCDB/DATAFILE/%U';
set newname for tempfile 1 to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTCDB/TESTCDB/DATAFILE/%U';
restore database;
switch datafile all;
switch tempfile all;
}

ONS is enabled
ONS daemon is running on node: TEST4

 

To start or stop all instances associated with a database. This command also starts services and listeners on each node :

[oracle@TEST4 ~]$ srvctl start database -d TESTRACDB

 

To shut down instances and services (listeners not stopped):

[oracle@TEST4 ~]$ srvctl stop database -d TESTRACDB

 

You can use -o option to specify startup/shutdown options.
To shutdown immediate database – srvctl stop database -d TESTRACDB -o immediate
To startup force all instances – srvctl start database -d TESTRACDB -o force
To perform normal shutdown – srvctl stop database -d TESTRACDB -i instance racnode1

To start or stop the ASM instance on racnode01 cluster node :

[oracle@TEST4 ~]$ srvctl start asm -n racnode1
[oracle@TEST4 ~]$ srvctl stop asm -n racnode1

 

To display current configuration of the SCAN VIP’s :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl config scan
SCAN name: vmtestdb.exo.local, Network: 1/192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0/eth0
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /vmtestdb.exo.local/192.168.5.100
SCAN VIP name: scan2, IP: /vmtestdb.exo.local/192.168.5.101
SCAN VIP name: scan3, IP: /vmtestdb.exo.local/192.168.5.102

 

Refreshing  SCAN VIP’s with new IP addresses from DNS :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl modify scan -n your-scan-name.example.com

 

To stop or start SCAN listener and the  SCAN VIP resources :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl stop scan_listener 
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl start scan_listener 
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl stop scan
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl start scan

 

To display the status of SCAN VIP’s and SCAN listeners :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl status scan
SCAN VIP scan1 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan1 is running on node test4
SCAN VIP scan2 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan2 is running on node test5
SCAN VIP scan3 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan3 is running on node test5
 
 
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node test4
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is running on node test5
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is running on node test5

 

To add/remove/modify SCAN :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl add scan -n your-scan
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl remove scan
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl modify scan -n new-scan

 

To add/remove SCAN listener :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl add scan_listener
[oracle@test4 ~]$ srvctl remove scan_listener

 

To modify SCAN listener port :

srvctl modify scan_listener -p <port_number>
srvctl modify scan_listener -p <port_number>  (reflect changes to the current SCAN listener only)

To start the ASM instnace in mount state :

ASMCMD> startup --mount

 

To shut down ASM instance immediately(database instance must be shut down before the ASM instance is shut down) :

ASMCMD> shutdown --immediate

 

Use lsop command on ASMCMD to list ASM operations :

ASMCMD > lsop

 

To perform quick health check of OCR :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
	 Version                  :          3
	 Total space (kbytes)     :     262120

	 Device/File Name         :       +OCR
                                    Device/File integrity check succeeded

                                    Device/File not configured

	 Cluster registry integrity check succeeded

	 Logical corruption check bypassed due to non-privileged user

 

To dump content of OCR file into an xml :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrdump testdump.xml -xml

 

To add or relocate the OCR mirror file to the specified location :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror ‘+TESTDG’
[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig -replace +CURRENTOCRDG -replacement +NEWOCRDG

 

To relocate existing OCR file :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig  -replce ocr ‘+TESTDG’

 

To add mirrod disk group for OCR :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig -add +TESTDG

 

To remove OCR mirror :

ocrconfig -delete +TESTDG

 

To remove the OCR or the OCR mirror :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig -replace ocr

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig replace ocrmirror

 

To list ocrbackup list :

[oracle@test4 ~]$ ocrconfig -showbackup
