image cannot be seen from the Recovery Catalog from the primary (production) database.
To restore, the following steps must be performed manually:
◦ The backup image (pieces) must be manually copied from the backup server to the primary
(production) server.
◦ The backup pieces must be then cataloged manually with the Recovery Catalog from the
primary (production) server.
◦ Perform restore manually using Oracle RMAN.
Depending on the type of the virtual copy backup image (online, offline, datafile, or archlog),
corresponding database files are restored appropriately.
For NBU (user-managed) restore:
•
Control files are not restored by default.
•
For an online virtual copy, both datafiles and archive logs are restored unless individual
tablespaces or data files are specified. In this case, only the corresponding data files are
restored.
•
For an offline virtual copy, only datafiles are restored.
•
For a datafile only virtual copy, only datafiles are restored.
•
For an archive log virtual copy, only archive logs are restored.
For Oracle RMAN restore:
•
Control files are not restored by default.
•
For an online virtual copy, only data files are restored. Archive logs are not restored to minimize
restoration time. Oracle RMAN can restore necessary archive logs during recovery (refer to
Oracle documentation for details on how to use Oracle RMAN for recovery).
•
For an offline virtual copy, only data files are restored.
•
For a datafile-only virtual copy, only data files are restored.
•
For an archive log virtual copy, archive log restoration is not supported as Oracle RMAN can
restore necessary archive logs during recovery (refer to Oracle documentation for details on
how to use Oracle RMAN for recovery).
Recovery Manager for Oracle backs up ASM metadata if the database is managed by ASM. In
the case you need to restore the metadata to the database server, you need to specify the disk
group name(s) for which to restore the metadata.
You must run this command as a super user or Oracle owner user from the backup server. To allow
the Oracle Database Administrator (Oracle owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle
Database Administrator user must exist on backup server. In addition, permission on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.
Only the super user or the owner of the virtual copy can restore the specified virtual copy.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-s <oracle_sid>
The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.
-p <db_server>
The corresponding host name of the database server where the specified Oracle database instance
is running. The value of the database server name must match the output of the hostname
command.
