Cleaning up the Copilot share after point in time restore of database
After a point in time restore of an Oracle database, RMAN can leave files from the previous database incarnations on a Copilot share. NetBackup does not automatically clean up the files from the previous database incarnation. This procedure describes how to manually clean up the share using RMAN.
Note:
The functionality for cleaning up a Copilot share is not in the GUI. This feature is command line option only.
To clean up the Copilot share
- Open a command prompt on the NetBackup client.
- Set the NLS DATE_FORMAT to display hours, minutes, and seconds.
UNIX:
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD-MON-YY_HH24:MI:SS export NLS_DATE_FORMAT
Windows:
set NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD-MON-YY_HH24:MI:SS
- Log into RMAN and if NetBackup uses the RMAN catalog, it is required to log in to the catalog.
- Use the RMAN> list incarnation of database; command to find the
Reset Timefor the current incarnation.Example:
List of Database Incarnations DB Key Inc Key DB Name DB ID STATUS Reset SCN Reset Time ------- ------- -------- ---------------- --- ---------- ---------- 10046 10054 ORACLEC2 3019371157 PARENT 1 11-SEP-14_08:40:48 10046 10047 ORACLEC2 3019371157 PARENT 2233668 27-APR-17_10:23:22 10046 11551 ORACLEC2 3019371157 CURRENT 2323198 28-APR-17_10:41:37
- Use the list backup summary completed before "to_date()" device type disk; command to find all the backup pieces from the previous incarnation by using the reset time ("to_date()" must match NLS_DATE_FORMAT).
Example:
RMAN> list backup summary completed before "to_date('28-APR-17_10:41:37', 'DD-MON-YY_HH24:MI:SS')" device type disk; List of Backups =============== Key TY LV S Device Type Completion Time #Pieces #Copies Compressed Tag ------- -- -- - ----------- ------------------ ------- ------- ---------- --- 10192 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_10:42:59 1 1 NO TAG20170427T104257 10193 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_13:16:37 1 1 NO TAG20170427T131636 10194 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_13:16:55 1 1 NO TAG20170427T131654 10195 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_13:28:52 1 1 NO TAG20170427T132851 10196 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_13:29:08 1 1 NO TAG20170427T132906 10197 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_14:00:31 1 1 NO TAG20170427T140031 10198 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_14:00:43 1 1 NO TAG20170427T140043 10199 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_14:07:31 1 1 NO TAG20170427T140730 10200 B F A DISK 27-APR-17_14:07:48 1 1 NO TAG20170427T140747 10759 B A A DISK 28-APR-17_10:28:46 1 1 NO DCS_CDB 10786 B F A DISK 28-APR-17_10:28:56 1 1 NO DCS_CDB 10814 B F A DISK 28-APR-17_10:29:08 1 1 NO DCS_CDB - Use the list backup summary completed before "to_date()" device type disk tag ''; command to find the backup pieces on the share by using the
