Types of failures
• Instance Failure
– Usually connected with an Oracle process failure
• Media Failure
– Disk failure, storage array controller failure etc.
• Block Corruption
– Usually caused by bugs in Oracle software
• Human error
– In most cases accidentally deleted/updated data – Database user or DBA
• Disaster
– Fire, flood, earthquake, plane crash etc.

Backup options in Oracle
• Physical backups
– Cold (off-line) backups
• Full database only • Require downtime • Do not provide flexibility for point in time recovery (PiTR)
– Hot (on-line) backups
• Different types of backups: full, incr. (cumulative, differential), archivelogs • Different scopes: full database, tablespace(s) or datafile(s) • Do not require database downtime • Can be used to recover full database, single/multiple tablespace(s)/datafile(s) or a corrupted block • Database can be recovered to any point in time within assumed backup retention period

Manual vs. RMAN backups
• RMAN advantages:
– Supports incremental backup strategies – RMAN on-line backups are not so heavy for the system as manual on-line backups – RMAN can detect corrupted blocks – RMAN automatically track database structure changes – Provides easy, automated backup, restore and recovery operations – Keeps invenotory of taken backups – Can seamlessly work with third party media managers
• Disadvantage: something new to learn
– RMAN concepts and command syntax sometimes are not intuitive

LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 9
On-tape backups with RMAN
• RMAN allows to take on-disk backups out of the box
– Flash recovery area, if configured, further simplifies such backups – On disk backups are interesting but usually not sufficient for a disaster recovery
• On-disk backups can be manually sent to tapes
– Recovery can be very troublesome
• RMAN can seamlessly work with third party Media Managers
– Media Manager Library (MML) is required – Different configuration tasks for different MMLs
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 10
On-tape backups with RMAN (2) • Many vendors of Media Management software provide MMLs • Most popular are:
– Tivoli Storage Manager – Veritas NetBackup – EMC NetWorker
• Oracle Secure Backup
– Very new and probably not yet reliable enough

LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 11
RMAN Configuration
• RMAN can be preconfigured
– Configuration is stored in the control file and in the recovery catalog (if used) – Can facilitate backup automation
• Most useful settings:
Setting Retention policy Device type Default device type Backup optimization Channel device type Maxsetsize Default to redundancy 1 disk parallelism 1 ... to disk off none unlimited Recommended on to recovery window of 31 days disk|sbt prallelism 2 ... to sbt off sbt parms=‘...’ depends on your database size
Controlfile autobackup off
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 12
RMAN Configuration (2)
• Example:
configure RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 31 DAYS; configure DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'sbt'; configure DEVICE TYPE 'sbt' PARALLELISM 2; configure CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE ‘sbt’ parms='ENV= (TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)'; configure DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2; configure MAXSETSIZE TO 200 G; configure archivelog backup copies for device type 'sbt' to 1; configure controlfile autobackup on;
• The SHOW ALL command lists all RMAN configuration settings • To clear a given settings append CLEAR at the end of the CONFIGURE command

LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 13
RMAN backup strategies • RMAN allows many types of backups • It possible to build own backup strategy that suits given database best • There are also Oracle recommended backup strategies:
– Incremental backup strategy: level 0 backups + level 1 backups (cumulative and/or differential) and archivelog backups inbetween. – Incrementally updated database copy: 1 backup as copy of the whole database + incremental backups used to update the copy + archived redo logs.
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 14
Backup strategy used at Tier0
• Both Oracle-recommended strategies implemented for all production systems • Incremental backup strategy:
– Backups go to tapes – Weekly or biweekly level 0 backups (depending on the DB size) – A level 1 cumulative backup inbetween – Daily incremental level 1 differential backups – Archivelog backup every 30 minutes
• Incrementally updated DB copy strategy:
– daily incremental differential backups applied with 2 days of delay – Copies, incremental backups and archived redo logs stored in the Flash Recovery Area
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 15
Backup operations at Tier0
• Central machine to schedule and run all the backups • Central RMAN catalog exported on regular basis • Examples of RMAN commands being used:
run { crosscheck archivelog all; backup force tag ‘some_tag_0T' incremental level 0 check logical database force format '%d_%T_%U_lvl0T' plus archivelog format '%d_%T_%U_lvl0Tarch'; delete noprompt force archivelog all completed before „sysdate - 2"; } run { crosscheck archivelog all; backup tag ‘some_tag_1D' incremental level 1 database format '%d_%T_%U_lvl1D' plus archivelog format '%d_%T_%U_lvl1Darch'; delete noprompt force archivelog all completed before ‘sysdate – 2’; } LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 16
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
Backup operations at Tier0 (2)
run { backup tag ‘some_tag_AR' archivelog all format '%d_%T_%U_arch'; delete noprompt force archivelog all completed before ‘sysdate - 2’; }
run { backup maxsetsize 2047G tag ' DB_Copy_tag' device type disk incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag ‘DB_Copy_tag’ database; recover device type disk copy of database with tag DB_Copy_tag until time ‘sysdate -2 ‘; delete force noprompt backupset device type disk tag DB_Copy_tag completed before ‘sysdate -2’; }

Complete database recovery
• Needed when:
– All datafiles are lost or the SYSTEM tablespace datafiles are lost – At least one member of each redo log group survived
• Requires:
– Control file recovery (if it’s lost) – Datafile restore from a backup – Database recovery using incremental backups and/or archived redo logs and online redo logs
startup mount run { allocate channel c1 device type disk|sbt; allocate channel c2 device type disk|sbt; restore database check readonly; recover database; alter database open; }
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland

LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 18
Database point-in-time recovery
• Needed when:
– all datafiles are lost – All copies of the current control file are lost – Or all online redo log group members are lost
• The most typical recovery in case of systems implementing SAME approach • If done after a disaster it has to be preceded by:
– Hardware configuration – OS and Oracle software installation – Re-creation or restore from non-RMAN backup of listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and other important configuration files – ASM instance and diskgroup configuration (if needed) – MML installation and configuration – ...
• Requires
– Spfile restore – Controlfile restore – Datafiles restore and recovery

Tablespace point-in-time recovery • Needed
– Mainly to address a human error
• Oracle makes efforts to automate it
– Can be done with few clicks in OEM
• Requires
– Point in time recovery of the whole database (an auxiliary instance is created) – Export/import of selected tablespaces schemas or objects
CERN - IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland
www.cern.ch/it
LCG 3D Workshop, Bologna, June 2007 - 21
Block media recovery
• Needed when:
– Database reports either single or multi block corruption
• Can be done with an open database • Only the table(s) containing corrupted blocks are not available • Database corruptions can be discovered with RMAN backup validate database command • Corrupted blocks can be found in V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 19, block # 44) ORA-01110: data file 19: ‘d:\oracle\oradata\data\mydb_maintbs_01.dbf’ run { allocate channel c1 device type disk|sbt; blockrecover datafile 19 block 44; }
