The configuration (environment)
In mine case I was dealing with RMAN online backup without catalog with disk as location. This was because I wanted "one time backup/restore"-just for that one cloning. So I wanted to use DUPLICATE RMAN command for cloning one database to different box.To understand the problem here is a brief environment/configuration data:
Target database | Auxiliary database | |
---|---|---|
Windows 2003 x64 | Windows 2008 x64 | |
ORION | ORION1 | |
192.168.0.11 | 192.168.0.19 | |
db_name: hcpro | db_name: hcpro | |
G:\rman_backup\hcpro | C:\oracle\rman_backup\hcpro* |
RMAN configuration on target database.
RMAN> show all; RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET; CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\rman_backup\hcpro\df%t_s%s_s%p'; CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\ORANT\DATABASE\SNCFHCPRO.ORA';Backup was done properly and without any problems to "G:\rman_backup\hcpro" location on target box. Here is list of backup files on target box:

Then I copied all the backup files to auxiliary box in "c:\oracle\rman_backup\hcpro" directory. Because "G:\rman_backup\hcpro" was RMAN destination, on auxiliary box that directory should looks the same as it was on target box. So here is command that map G: drive on auxiliary box

The solution I (network backup files)
Then I came back to early mentioned Metalink note and noticed something that was not too obvious at the first time (and certainly not in the early 2000 when I read this document carefully):Special Windows 2003 Update :
As Windows 2003 has a changed access behavior compared to Windows 2000, the solution is a little restrict :
Since this is in fact an absolute location this is always the same for any node in the network.
So whether accessed from node A or node B, \\B\share is always the shared location on B.
So the same applies obviously to Windows 2008 as well, so change was not in Oracle but Windows itself. And here is what I did.As Windows 2003 has a changed access behavior compared to Windows 2000, the solution is a little restrict :
- Don't use local drive letters for mapping network shares.
Since this is in fact an absolute location this is always the same for any node in the network.
So whether accessed from node A or node B, \\B\share is always the shared location on B.
1. Add share on target box
On target box add share \\ORION\rman_backup in previously shown way on target box:C:\>net view \\ORION Shared resources at \\ORION Share name Type Used as Comment rman_backup Disk The command completed successfully. C:\>
2. Change RMAN parameter on target database
Change RMAN DEVICE DISK FORMAT parameter, which should point to UNC location (not disk path):RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\ORION\rman_backup\hcpro\df%t_s%s_s%p'; old RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\rman_backup\hcpro\df%t_s%s_s%p'; new RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\ORION\rman_backup\hcpro\df%t_s%s_s%p'; new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully storedCheck that new parameter is really active:
RMAN> show all; RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET; CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\ORION\rman_backup\hcpro\df%t_s%s_s%p'; CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\ORANT\DATABASE\SNCFHCPRO.ORA';
3. Full backup
Perform full target database backup again.

The End
If you look in "Solution I" (that officially Oracle provides), I really think that few of DBAs do make RMAN backup to disk with UNC path in it's format.In any case I find Linux more flexible and adoptive for such an tasks...and frankly to whole Oracle world. Unfortunately, today life set in front of DBA many OS's and in many cases-Windows as well.
Cheers!
