RMAN DATABASE BACKUPS TO TAPE

Written By askMLabs on Monday, May 30, 2011 | 6:54 AM

In this article, i am going to show you how to backup a database using RMAN to tape. First verify the tape configuration from the following commands ...

$ tdpoconf showenvironment
$ tdpoconf showENVironment -TDPO_OPTfile=tdpo.opt

In this demo i am showing RMAN consistant backup , so shutdown the database and start it again in mount stage.

Then connect to database using rman with catalog database ...

[oracle@b600e6tr01 bkup]$ rman target / catalog rman/rman@rmancat
Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon May 2 08:51:22 2011

connected to target database: TESTDB (DBID=38948753088)
connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN>run
{
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
allocate channel t3 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
backup as compressed backupset check logical incremental level 0 database format 'backup_%d_%I_set%s_piece%p_copy%c_%T_%U' TAG=FULL_BACKUP;
backup current controlfile TAG=CURR_CTLFILE;
backup spfile TAG=CURR_SPFILE;
delete obsolete;
}

This will complete the backup of database. But in case if you get any error messages due to tape configuration problems, RMAN will not give you any useful error message. All you have to do is, go to the log file location specified in the configuration file tdpo.opt ( parameter DSMI_LOG ) and review the logfiles. If you dont have this directory created, the default location for tape log files is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. These log files will give you some useful error messages.

Rectify the issues and execute the RMAN backup script again.

Example error messages from RMAN session :

Starting restore at Apr 13 2011 07:41:20
using channel ORA_AUX_SBT_TAPE_1
using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

TIVOLI TAPE CONFIGURATION FOR DATABASE BACKUPS

Written By askMLabs on Friday, May 27, 2011 | 5:51 AM

In the present article i am going to explain the tivoli tape configuration for oracle backups to tape. I am explaining this considering the oracle DBAs and not from the scratch how it should be installed.
DBAs need to configure the tape backups after system administrators installing the tape libraries.
DBAs start their configuration with the confirmation that the tape libraries are installed properly. To check the tape installation , try to execute the commands tdpoconf or tdposync and if they are not found, get the installation directory from the system admins and include the directory in the PATH env variable. Then execute the command again and you should be able to execute the commands tdpoconf and tdposync successfully. If you still not able to execute, check if the tape libraries are installed for 32bit or 64bit. Make proper corrections that these executable are linked to correct bit version corresponding to your OS.

Example :

[root@b600e6tr01 bin]# ls -lrt tdpo*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Dec 21 20:56 tdposync -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdposync
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Dec 21 20:56 tdpoconf -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpoconf
[root@b600e6tr01 bin]#
[root@b600e6tr01 bin]# ln -s /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpoconf tdpoconf
[root@b600e6tr01 bin]# ln -s /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdposync tdposync
[root@b600e6tr01 bin]# ls -lrt tdpo*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 May 2 02:12 tdpoconf -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpoconf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 May 2 02:12 tdposync -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdposync
[root@b600e6tr01 bin]#

After confirming that the tape libraries are installed properly, now you need to configure the tape configuration to backup the databases. There are two important configuration files which are important to DBAs for configuration. They are tdpo.opt tape configuration file and password file.

Edit the tdpo.opt file and modify the parameter to reflect to your environment. Important parameters to modify in the tdpo.opt file are TDPO_FS,TDPO_NODE and TDPO_OWNER.

Using this modified configuration file, create a password file using command

tdpoconf passw -tdpo_optfile=tdpo.opt

The password file will be of the form TDPO.<node name> where the node name is defined in the tdpo.opt file.

After creating a new password file, modify the parameter TDPO_PSWDPATH in tdpo.opt file again to include the newly created password file.

Then the final step is to check the tape configuration ....

tdpoconf showENVironment -TDPO_OPTfile=tdpo.opt

If you are able to execute the above command successfully, then your tape configuration is complete.

Sample Configuration file :

$ cat tdpo.opt
***************************************************************************
* IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases
*    Data Protection for Oracle
*
* Sample tdpo.opt for the LinuxAMD64 Data Protection for Oracle
*********************************************************************

DSMI_LOG           /var/log/tdp
*TDPO_FS            /tdp_<sid>
TDPO_FS             /tdp_TESTDB
TDPO_NODE           tdpb600e6tr01
TDPO_OWNER          oracle
TDPO_PSWDPATH      /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64
*TDPO_DATE_FMT      1
*TDPO_NUM_FMT       1
*TDPO_TIME_FMT      1
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_2   mgmtclass2
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_3   mgmtclass3
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_4   mgmtclass4

Now backups are performed by configuring a channel to tape using above tape configuration file

run
{
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
allocate channel t3 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=tdpo.opt)";
....

Configuring Managed Servers In Weblogic Server 10.3.4

Written By askMLabs on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 | 10:25 AM

In this article I will show you how to create and configure managed servers in Weblogic server 10.3.4. Assume that you already have Weblogic server installation and domain created and started.

Now there are three different ways that we can configure Managed servers in Weblogic server

Domain Configuratin Wizard

Administration Console

Command Line ( WLST )

In addition to having an administration server, a domain may have zero or more managed servers. Managed servers are the ones which actually does the work in a domain. Managed servers host the applications. We use administration server for administration sort of work and use managed servers to host the application. We can also have the administration server hosting the applications if we don’t have any managed servers configured in a domain.

Each managed server stores a local copy of the domain configuration file. When the managed server starts, it connects to the administration server to synchronise the configuration. When the configuration changes the administration server sends the changed configuration to the managed servers.

I already showed you how to create a managed server in a domain using domain configuration wazard in my previous article "Domain creation and deletion in Weblogic Server".

In this video I am showing you how to start weblogic server domain, access the administration console, create a managed server and how to modify the configurations of these managed servers.

OEM Grid Control 11g(11.1.0.1.0) Installation

Written By askMLabs on Monday, May 16, 2011 | 11:06 PM

This article explains the OEM grid control 11g ( 11.1.0.1.0 ) installation on Linux 5.4 (32-bit) OS with 11gR2 database.

Software Requirements:

SUN JDK 1.6_18 ( for 32/64 bit Linux OS) : Download
WebLogic Server 10.3.2(32bit) : Download
Oracle Database 11gR2 : Download
OEM 11g Grid Control( 11.1.0.1.0 ) : Download

Grid Control 11g uses WebLogic Server instead of OC4J which was traditional with Grid Control versions 10.1 and 10.2. Grid Control 11g will deploy from an existing Weblogic Server during the Grid Control Installation. Weblogic server installation requires a JDK 1.6_18 as a pre requisite. A database for repository use must exist at the time of Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 installation. The option to "Install Grid Control with a new database" is no longer offered. So we need to have the database created before starting the grid control 11g installation. Please review the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker @ 412431.1 for the database version.

So the sequence of steps to install 11g grid control including all the external components are ..

1) Create Linux Machine
2) Prepare the linux machine for OEM grid control 11g installation.
3) Install JDK 1.6_18
4) Install Weblogic server 10.3.2
5) Install database 11.2.0.1
6) Prepare the database for OEM 11g Installation.
7) Install OEM grid control 11.1.0.1.0
8 ) Status Check
9) Issues and Resolutions

1.Create Linux Machine:

If you are planning to install OEM grid control in a vmware linux machine, Please follow the article VMware Server - Linux installation and complete the linux machine creation. You can omit this point if you are directly provided with linux machine with OS linux 5.4(32-bit).

2.Prepare the linux machine for OEM grid control 11g installation:

Prepare the linux machine ( Linux 5.4 ) for the OEM grid control 11g installation. Please use the article Prepare Linux virtual machine for 11gR2 installation on Linux 5.x. Though this is to prepare the linux machine for 11gR2 database, it hold good for OEM 11g installation also. You can also refer the installation document here.

Check the following RPMs and make sure all the RPMs are installed.

3.Install JDK 1.6_18:

Installing JDK depends on the OS bit version you are using. If you are using 32-bit version OS, you will find weblogic server bundled with JDK. But if you are using 64-bit OS,you must install an appropriate jdk to support the WebLogic Server and Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 installations on 64bit platforms, since the required jdk is not bundles with the installer as it is with the 32bit platforms.
In this demo, i am using a 32-bit OS and i can skip this part of installing JDK. For those we need to install JDK 1.6_18 for 64-bit OS, Please follow the detailed procedure explained with screen shots here. For more details, Please follow the MOS ID : 1063587.1.

NOTE: jdk 1.6.0_18 is recommended due to potential problems with newer versions.

jdk 1.6.0 updates 19 and higher do not allow subsequent patching with required WLS patch WDJ7, so these versions are not effective and must be avoided. They may be used when a cacerts file that allows Smartupdate can be appropriately substituted for the native one.

4.Installing Weblogic Server 10.3.2:

The only version of the WebLogic Server that can be used to deploy Grid Control is 10.3.2.The WebLogic Server associated with Oracle products such as SOA Suite or Identity Management is not appropriate for use in deploying Grid Control.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2EJfoC0aS8&hl=en&fs=1]

After completing the installation, we need to apply the recommended patches to WLS for grid control installation. Either use SmartUpdate tool or use offline method to install patch. Download the WLS patch WDJ7 manually and place it in the directory WLS_ORACLE_HOME/utils/bsu/cache_dir.

Offline Method:

[sourcecode language="bash"]

Apply the patch by running the following command:-
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=WLS_ORACLE_HOME/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=patch number -verbose -install
For example:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/scratch/gc/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=WDJ7 -verbose -install

You can view the report of applied patched by running the following command:-
./bsu.sh -report -patch_id_mask=patch number
For example: ./bsu.sh -report -patch_id_mask=WDJ7

[/sourcecode]

Using SmartUpdateTool(please watch the demo)

Watch this demo which shows how to apply the recommended patches to weblogic server.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejnKK6BpzNs&hl=en&fs=1]

A step-by-step description with graphical representation of the installer progress is available here.

5.Install Database 11.2.0.1:

The option to "Install Grid Control with a new database" is no longer offered. So we need to have the database created before starting the grid control 11g installation.

Please follow the article "Installing 11gR2 Single Instance Database With Non-ASM Storage" for installling 11g database software and creating a database for OEM grid control repository.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePitGvp_zDs&hl=en&fs=1]

This procedure with step-by-step screen shot graphics can be found here. ( This guide installs 11.1.0.7 Database, but we are installing 11gR2 in our demo ).

7.Install OEM grid control 11.1.0.1.0:

There are three ways to install Enterprise Manager.
1) Installing Enterprise Manager System with graphical mode including all configuration tools
2) Installing Enterprise Manager Software Only in Graphical Mode and Configuring Later
3) Installing Enterprise Manager Software Only in Silent Mode and Configuring Later

In the present demo i am choosing option 2 to install Enterprise Manager.

Go to the directory where the software is unzipped and start the installation with the following command ...

[sourcecode language="bash"]
<Software_Location>/runInstaller -noconfig
[/sourcecode]

After successful installation of the OEM grid control 11g software, install the configuration tools using

[sourcecode language="bash"]
$<OMS_ORACLE_HOME>/perl/bin/perl <ORACLE_HOME>/sysman/install/ConfigureGC.pl
Ex : /u01/app/OEM11g/Middleware/oms11g/perl/bin/perl /u01/app/OEM11g/Middleware/oms11g/sysman/install/ConfigureGC.pl
[/sourcecode]

Watch the video to install OEM grid control 11g software.

Installing Weblogic Server 10.3.2

Written By askMLabs on Sunday, May 15, 2011 | 10:02 AM

This article describes installing weblogic server 10.3.2 on 32bit Linux 5.4. Weblogic server installation needs JDK 1.6 as pre-requisite. 32bit Linux (x86) and Windows platforms are provided with a WLS installer that has a bundled jdk associated, and, hence, there is a different installer available for each supported 32bit platform. 64bit platforms must use the Generic WLS installer( WLS download is same for all 64bit platforms), but each platform must have a jdk installed appropriate for that platform.

Please download WLS from Software & documents

Please watch the following video to see how to install Weblogic server On Linux 5.4

<video place holder>

A step-by-step description with graphical representation of the installer progress is available here for 64-bit Linux.

Please watch the following video to see how to install Weblogic server on Windows 7 ( 64 bit). It also shows you how to create domain in weblogic server.

Hope It Helps

Weblogic Server Components and Technical Words Meaning

Domain : It is logical related group of Oracle Weblogic server resources that are managed as a single unit.

Server : We can define a server in number of ways , say a server is a computer or laptop in the concept of what a hardware server is. But in weblogic , if we use the term Server, it means an instance of a weblogic server. So Weblogic server is a process that runs on a designated machine. There are two types of servers available to us, namely administration server and managed servers in weblogic.

Administration Server : Administration Server is the central point for a domain. It stores all the configuration information and log for a domain. It is the server which is incharge of the domain. From an administrative stand point, whenever we want to do any monitoring or management of anything in a domain, we do that through communicating with the administration server. Every domain must have one and only one administration server.

Managed Server : A managed server is the server which hosts applications. These are the servers in a domain which does the actual work. We can have multiple managed servers within a domain.

Machine : A machine is a computer that hosts the weblogic server instances. It is used by the node manager to start the failed managed server.

Node Manager : A node manager is a separate utility which runs on machines which are hosting weblogic. We can use node manager to remotely startup weblogic servers.

Cluster : A cluster in a weblogic server is defined as a logical group of weblogic servers. It provides high availability and scalability. A cluster is defined within a single domain and it cant span domains. So all the servers in a cluster should also be in same domain. Only managed servers can make up a cluster.

J2EE technologies : Here I want to list the J2EE technologies used in weblogic server. They are Java Servlets,JSPs,EJBs, JDBCs,JNDIs,JTAs, JMSs, JAAS and JMX.

SCAN LISTENER TRACING

Written By askMLabs on Thursday, May 12, 2011 | 6:42 PM

This article describes enabling and disabling the SCAN listener tracing. Before capturing the scan listener tracing,please make sure your scan listener is configured as per the following Oracle Support IDs.
1070607.1
975457.1

Some where you should find some clue for your SCAN connectivity issues. If you are still unable to find the exact problem with the scan connectivity, you need to enable the tracing and analyze the trace files or upload the trace files to oracle support.

To enable level 16 tracing for SCAN listeners, add the following parameters to listener.ora and try to reproduce the connectivity issue.

TRACE_LEVEL_<listener_name> = 16
TRACE_DIRECTORY_<listener_name> =<dir location>
TRACE_TIMESTAMP_<listener_name> = TRUE
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername>=off

Then try to reload all the listeners after these parameters are in place using lsnrctl reload <listener_name>.

Reproduce the issue and verify that the trace and log files are created in the directory mentioned in the parameter TRACE_DIRECTORY_<listener_name>.

To disable scan listener tracing:

$lsnrctl
LSNRCTL>set current_listener <listener_name>
LSNRCTL>set trc_level OFF
LSNRCTL>save_config

In the above tracing we disabled diagnostic repository with the parameter DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername> and collected trace files. Now if you want to re-enable DIAG_ADR, just comment out DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername> in listener.ora and reload all the listeners.

NOTE: ADR is the new concept introduced from 11g and it is a file system repository to store all diagnostic data. Please review the article Automatic Diagnostic Repository to know more on ADR concepts.

Prepare Query Predicate From Failed Commands In Import Logfile

This small script will be useful to prepare the list of objects that failed to create in a import process.

Usage : prepare_list.sh <import logfile>

Script:

[sourcecode language="bash"]
echo "Entered File is $1"
echo ""
grep -i 'CREATE INDEX' $1 | awk -F " " '{print $3}' | awk -F "." '{print $2}' | sed 's/.$.*$/\1/' | sed 's/$.*$./\1/' | sed "s/^/\'/; s/$/\'/;" > askm
echo "Failed Objects Are:"
echo "==========================="
cat askm
#j="("
for i in `cat askm`
do
j=${j},$i
done
j=`echo $j | sed 's/.$.*$/\1/'`
j="("${j}")"
echo ""
echo "==================================================="
echo "Use The Following Predicate In Your Where Condition"
echo "==================================================="
echo $j
unset j
[/sourcecode]

NOTE: In the above script,i extracted failed index list, but you can change it to get your own object list.

Sample Output:

[sourcecode language="bash" highlight="1"]

Domain creation and deletion in Weblogic Server

Written By askMLabs on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 | 9:40 AM

In the present demo, i am going to show you how to create and delete a domain in weblogic server.

Assume that you have installed weblogic as specified in the article <Place Holer>. The next step is to create a domain. Domain is the basic administration unit for Oracle Weblogic Server.Everything that we do in weblogic, everything that gets configured such as administration server,the managed servers,connection pools and data sources,cluster machines,applications that get deployed, all of the security settings; all of that information is contained within this administrative unit that we call it domain.

Domain always includes one weblogic server instance,which is configured as being the administration server. So, there is a one-to-one correspondence between domain and an administration server.An administration server only serves one domain, and a domain always has exactly one administration server in it. Then you can optionally have additional managed servers,so you can have zero or more managed servers within your domain.

The central point of control for a domain is the administration server. That, usually what happens when we have a domain is we start the administration server first,the administration server will go out and read its configuration information from a folder in its domain structure called the config folder. So the administration server goes out and reads the config.xml file,which essentially tells it how to build all of the Mbeans.

The following demo shows you how to create a domain in weblogic server 10.3.4 and delete it.

Please watch this demo and give me your comments.

Thanks

Applying PSU Patch 11.2.0.1.2 To A Two Node RAC - Part2

Written By askMLabs on Friday, May 6, 2011 | 12:05 PM

This article is continuation to the previous article Applying PSU Patch 11.2.0.1.2 To A Two Node RAC

In this article i want to show you the session output for PSU patch application and the session output for roll backing a PSU patch.

This is the best example to show the hot patching in RAC 11gR2. The patch is applied in a rolling fashion on each node of the cluster. The clusterware automatically relocates the services to other node while patching is running on some node. The end user does not feel any service interruption.
