PREPARATION
# Step Detail Reference
1 Get the list of datafile 1.Login to PROD and get the list of datafiles from v$datafile as
from the instance which follows:
is used as a PROD for set head off
cloning set pages 0
select 'set newname for datafile '||file#||' to ' ||''''||name||''''||';'
from v$datafile;
select 'set newname for tempfile '||FILE#||' to ' ||''''||name||''''||';'
from v$tempfile;
2.Spool the above to a files
2a Edit the spooled file 1.Edit the spool file with the target datafile location paths.
2b Use the attached script 1.Once edited append other lines in the file (clone_target.rman)
as reference taking attached script as reference

Production rman pieces will be at loation

/porabackup/PCATSI/RMAN on ditcats20
Check if the above path is mounted in the target server.
If not copy required date’s backup pieces to any available
mount point in target and create links as like prod rman
backup locations;
Eg:
On target server, coppied pieces to
/orabackup/dconvi/rman and created link as below.
ditcats30.atlanta.local
$ pwd
/porabackup/PCATSI
$ ls -rlt

3 Add tns entry of source 1.Get the tns entries from source (PROD) and catalog and add
and catalog in the target these entries to target instance tnsnames under $TNS_ADMIN
instance tnsnames.ora
4 Query the catalog for 1.Connect to source and catalog as follows:
backup information
rman target sys/Termina1@pcatsi catalog
rmanpcatsi/rmanpcatsi@rman
rman>list backup;
5 Edit clone_target.rman From the output of the above command choose the latest SCN
We can also use below commands:
Also edit parameter file and
make the suggested Connect ditcats22: sqlplus rmanpcatsi/rmanpcatsi@rman
changes.
Select
db_name,completion_time,thread#,sequence#,first_change#,next
_change# from rc_backup_redolog where trunc(completion_time)
>=trunc(sysdate-1) order by 3,4,2
From above output select last line as scn

number(first_change# column value)
select distinct checkpoint_change#,completion_time from

rc_backup_datafile
Modify the clone_target.rman and put the latest SCN from the
above command.
Allocate 2-4 channels
Parameter file changes:

1)Put the below parameter in parameter file to avoid nfs mount
point issue saying not properly mounted.
event="10298 trace name context forever,level 32"
2) Check the compatible parameter in parameter file and set

to:
SQL> show parameter compat
NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ -----------
------------------------------
compatible string 10.2.0.3
3)Put the below parameter in parameter file to avoid

Error: ORA-38856: cannot mark instance
UNNAMED_INSTANCE_2 (redo thread 2) as enabled
add below parameter to parameter file:
_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=true
6 Check for the channels 1.check the channel that is being used is that of commvault
We can check this from the log file generated
7 Target database 1) Shutdown both Target instances.
preparation
2) From node 1 startup restrict exclusive
3) drop database (Make sure that all datafiles deleted from the
server)
4) Update below init parameters:(1st node only)
#cluster_database = true
#cluster_database_instances = 2
_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
5) Start DB in no-mount stage.
8 Run the script 1.Run the script rman_target.sh
rman_target.sh
2.This script will start the restore
3.Once the restore is done check the status of the database
9 Check the status of 1. Run :
database select count(*) from v$recover_file;
2.Run:
select distinct(status) from v$datafile;
To make sure all the files are online and there are no files that
need recovery
10 Enable RAC(Only for Use the below commands to check log file volumes.
VCATSI & QCATSI) set linesize 200
col MEMBER for a50
select * from v$logfile; ----> Check the group and members
column. Each group will be having one or two members
select * from v$log----------> check thread# Column. it will show
the value 1 now.
Add the logfiles to thread 2 and enable using below steps:-
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2

GROUP 4 (
'/vdata02/VCATSI/log4a.log',
'/vdata02/VCATSI/log4b.log'
) SIZE 100M,
GROUP 5 (

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ENABLE PUBLIC THREAD 2;
Check the thread 2 redologs :
select * from v$logfile; --> Check the group and members

column. Each group will be having one or two members
select * from v$log ; ----------> check thread# Column. It will
show the value 2 now.
Shutdown normal first instance (db1)
Update below init parameters(uncomment)
cluster_database = true
cluster_database_instances = 2
startup the first instance(db1)
startup the second instance(db2)
PING THE NODES & INSTANCES FROM OTHER NODES & INSTANCE
TO CROSS VERIFY THE RAC ENABLING
11 Resize the TEMP CREATE A NEW TEMP3 TABLESPACE AND MAKE IT AS DEFUALT-
tablespace(Size – 10gb)
create temporary tablespace TEMP3 tempfile
'/vdata02/VCATSI/temp01.dbf' size 1800M;
alter database default temporary tablespace temp3;
DROP THE OLD TEMP TABLESPACES-
drop tablespace temp1 including contents and datafiles;
CREATE A TEMP1 & TEMP2 with LIMITED SIZE(Total size 10gb)

Eg:
'/vdata02/VCATSI/temp_01.dbf' size 1800M;
'/vdata02/VCATSI/temp_02.dbf' size 1800M;
MAKE TEMP1 as default-

alter database default temporary tablespace temp1;
DROP THE TEMP3 TABLESPACE-

12 Resize the UNDO Create a undo tablespace as below:-

tablespace(Size-10gb) SQL> create undo tablespace APPS_UNDOTS_1 datafile
'/vdata03/VCATSI/undo_01.dbf' size 1g;
- Shutdown the database

SQL> shut immediate
Change the parameters in init file as below:-

From undo_tablespace = APPS_UNDOTS1
To undo_tablespace = APPS_UNDOTS_1
- Bring up the database

SQL> startup
DROP THE OLD UNDO TABLESPACES-

SQL> drop tablespace APPS_UNDOTS1 including contents and
datafiles;
SQL> drop tablespace APPS_UNDOTS2 including contents and
datafiles;
CREATE NEW UNDO TABLESPACES WITH OLD NAME WITH SIZE OF
10GB(APPROX)
Eg:
SQL> create undo tablespace APPS_UNDOTS1 datafile
'/vdata03/VCATSI/undo01.dbf' size 1800M;
SQL> create undo tablespace APPS_UNDOTS2 datafile
SQL> alter tablespace APPS_UNDOTS1 add datafile
- Shutdown the database

SQL> shut immediate
Change the paramters in init file as below:-

From undo_tablespace = APPS_UNDOTS_1
To undo_tablespace = APPS_UNDOTS1
- Bring up the database

SQL> startup
DROP OF BELOW UNDO TABLESPACE-

SQL> drop tablespace APPS_UNDOTS_1 including contents and
datafiles;
13 Perform a sanity check of 1.perform a sanity check of the database(check if there are any
the database ORA- errors)
14 Disabling archive log By default rman puts the database in archive log mode
So perform the below steps to put it in noarchivelog(Should be
only if target is run in noarchive log mode)
Sql>shutdown immediate;
Sql>startup mount
Sql>alter database noarchivelog
Sql>alter database open
15 Perform another sanity 1.Perform another sanity check of the database
check
Issues and fixes:
After completion of restore recovery failed with below error.
Error: ORA-38856: cannot mark instance UNNAMED_INSTANCE_2 (redo thread 2) as enabled

Fix: _No_recovery_through_resetlogs=true
Error: ORA-27061: waiting for async I/Os failed

Fix: DISK_ASYNCH_IO = false
