# useradd -g dba -G oinstall tim

 
Add a database user:

[oracle@ol62 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

First see parameter os_authent_prefix, remote_os_authent:

SYS@orcl> show parameter os_authent

NAME				     TYPE	 VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
os_authent_prefix		     string	 ops$
remote_os_authent		     boolean	 FALSE

remote_os_authent default is FALSE
 
 
Create user tim using OS Authentication:

SQL> alter system set remote_os_authent=true scope=spfile;
SQL> create user ops$tim identified externally;
SQL> grant dba to ops$tim;

 
 
Login tim as OS user:

[root@ol62 ~]# cp /home/oracle/.bash_profile /home/tim/.bash_profile
cp: overwrite `/home/tim/.bash_profile'? y
[root@ol62 ~]# su - tim

Connect DB local:

[tim@ol62 ~]$ sqlplus /
...
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$TIM"

 
Restart DB:

SYS@orcl> shutdown immediate
SYS@orcl> startup
ORA-32004: obsolete or deprecated parameter(s) specified for RDBMS instance
ORACLE instance started.
..

The REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT initialization parameter is deprecated in 11g
 
 
Connect DB remote:

[tim@ol62 ~]$ sqlplus /@orcl

or

[tim@ol62 ~]$ sqlplus /@ol62/orcl.mydom.com

orcl is net_service_name (in tnsnames.ora)
ol62 is hostname
orcl.mydom.com is service_name

Start DBs and run duplicate

from source server startup DBs:
start target db:

$ rlwrap sqlplus sys/foo@orcl as sysdba
SYS@orcl> startup
SYS@orcl> exit

start auxiliary db:

$ rlwrap sqlplus sys/foo@orcl2 as sysdba
SYS@orcl2> startup nomount
SYS@orcl2> exit

 
from source server start rman and connect DBs:

[oracle@ol62 ~]$ rlwrap rman target sys/foo@orcl auxiliary sys/foo@orcl2

connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1317794828)
connected to auxiliary database: ORCL2 (not mounted)

 
Run duplicate command:

RMAN> duplicate target database to orcl2
from active database
spfile
parameter_value_convert =
'/orcl/', '/orcl2/'
set log_file_name_convert =
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/', '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2/'
db_file_name_convert =
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/', '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2/';

File $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileorcl2.ora is created after duplicate.
Also remove pfile initorcl2.ora

TDO: on the same server duplicate a database named orcl to a new database name orcl2 from a full backup

1. Backup database

[oracle@ol62 ~]$ rlwrap rman target /
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;

2. Setup static listener

Edit file listener.ora

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl2.mydom.com)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)

3. Config tnsnames.ora

ORCL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ol62)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.mydom.com)
    )
  )

ORCL2 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ol62)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl2.mydom.com)
    )
  )

4. Create a new pfile initorcl2.ora (in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/)

db_name='orcl2'
control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2/control01.ctl',
'/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/orcl2/control02.ctl'
db_file_name_convert='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2/'
log_file_name_convert='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2/'

5. Create new directories

for: data files, control file, audit_file_dest, background_dump_dest, core_dump_dest, user_dump_dest

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl2
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/orcl2
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl2/adump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl2/orcl2/trace
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl2/orcl2/cdump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl2/orcl2/trace

6. Create password file for orcl2

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
$ orapwd file=orapworcl2 password=foo2 entries=20 ignorecase=n

-> Password file orapworcl2 created
 
or just copy file orapworcl to orapworcl2 if using the same password

$ cp orapworcl orapworcl2

7. Starting DBs

Start auxiliary (duplicate) DB orcl2

$ sqlplus sys/foo2@orcl2 as sysdba
SYS@orcl2> startup nomount

Start target (source) DB orcl

$ sqlplus sys/foo@orcl as sysdba
SYS@orcl> startup open

8. Starting rman and run duplicate

conect target (source) DB orcl and auxiliary (duplicate) DB orcl2

[oracle@ol62 ~]$ rlwrap rman target sys/foo@orcl auxiliary sys/foo2@orcl2
..
connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1317794828)
connected to auxiliary database: ORCL2 (not mounted)

RMAN> duplicate target database to orcl2;

Duplicate database from active database

1. Backup database

no need a backup
 

2. Setup static listener

same as above
 

3. Config tnsnames.ora

same as above
 

4. Create a new pfile initorcl2.ora (in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/)

with only this line:

db_name="orcl2"

5. Create new directories

same as above
 

6. Create password file for orcl2

same as above
 

7. Starting DBs

Backup database

RMAN> startup
RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE FORMAT '+DATA' TAG 'ORA_ASM_MIGRATION';
RMAN> shutdown immediate

This is the crux of the story. We say via RMAN backup the database, but AS COPY(not backupset!), and with the format +DATA which mean all copies are stored in ASM diskgroup DATA
And next we say via command switch database to copy, which means: all data files of the datbase are now their copies!

Migration data files to ASM

Migration temp file

SQL> ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/temp01.dbf'  DROP;
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE temp ADD TEMPFILE;

Migration online redo log files to ASM

SQL> select a.group#, a.status, b.member from v$log a,v$logfile b where a.group#=b.group# order by group#;

Create new log group:

SQL> alter database add logfile group 4 size 50M;
SQL> alter database add logfuile group 5 size 50M;
SQL> alter database add logfile group 6 size 50M;

Switch to new log group until old log group 1,2,3 have status INACTIVE:

SQL> alter system switch logfile;
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
..

Drop old INACTIVE log groups 1,2,3:

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;
SQL> alter database drop logfile group 2;
SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;

Migration archive log, backupset, copies

Conclusion

What mean SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY?

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/rcmsynta049.htm
Renames the datafiles and control files to use the filenames of image copies of these files.
RMAN switches to the latest image copy of each database file.
After a database switch, RMAN considers the previous database files as datafile copies.
 
Short: SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY mean: Switch all data files to their images copies
 
 
..and what is when we run switch database to copy again?
Correct! We become the state Before again.
The datafiles are in files system and their images are in ASM as before.

Just playing around with switch database to copy!

Solution:
Change owner of binary $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle (of user oracle):
 
Before:

[grid@oel62 ~]$ ls -l /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle oinstall 232399123 Jun  5 17:18 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle

Run:

[grid@oel62 ~]/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid/bin/setasmgidwrap
o=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle

After:

[grid@oel62 ~]$ ls -l /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle asmadmin 232399123 Jun  5 17:18 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle
