Integrating Oracle and Data Protector
Restoring an Oracle Database
Chapter 1 77
IMPORTANT Ensure that you have properly configured the RMAN autobackup and
that the correct backup version is available. If the RMAN autobackup
session is not found during the restore, the procedure is aborted. See the
Oracle 9i/10g documentation on how to set up RMAN AUTOBACKUP.
• Restoring from RMAN backup set (CONTROLFILE FROM RMAN
BACKUPSET)
The recovery catalog is required.
• Oracle Data Guard (10g only): Restoring standby control file from
RMAN backup set (STANDBY CONTROL FILE FROM RMAN BACKUPSET)
If you restore a standby database (not using duplication), you must
restore this type of control file.
This type of restore is available only in Oracle 10g standby
configurations and if you selected the CONTROL FILE FOR STANDBY
database object in the backup specification.
A backup session can contain more than one type of the control file
backup.
To restore the control file:
1. Open the sqlplus window and put the database in the nomount
state. See “Changing The Database State” on page 73.
2. In the Data Protector GUI, switch to the Restore context.
3. Under Restore Objects, expand Oracle Server, expand the client
on which the database, for which you want to restore the control file,
resides, and then click the database.
4. In the Restore Action drop-down list, select Perform RMAN
Repository Restore.
In the Results area, select the control file for restore.
5. In the Options page, from the Client drop-down list, select the client
on which the Data Protector Oracle integration agent (ob2rman.pl)
will be started. To restore the control file to a different database than
it is selected, click Settings and specify the login information for the
target database.
