1. CHECK WHETHER THE INSTANCES RMANCAT,DONSDMP,DONSRCP IS

UP OR NOT.
ANS:
APDWD506:NONE:[/USR/APP/ORACLE]> ps –aef | grep pmon
ORACLE 848028 1 0 JUN 11 - 0:24 ORA_PMON_DONSDMP

ORACLE 954504 1 0 JUN 11 - 0:24 ORA_PMON_RMANCAT
ORACLE 1085656 1 0 19:01:28 - 0:03 ORA_PMON_DONSRCP
ORACLE 1200218 1249384 0 01:40:51 PTS/8 0:00 GREP PMON
ORA_PMON_DONSDMP, ORA_PMON_RMANCAT, ORA_PMON_DONSRCP

shows that all these instances are up.
2. CHECK WHETHER THE DATABASE RMANCAT IS UP OR NOT.
ANS:
sql> select instance_name, status from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME STATUS
------------------------------------------
RMANCAT OPEN
(OR)
sql> select open_mode from v$database;
OPEN_MODE
----------
READ WRITE
Read write mode specifies RMANCAT is UP
3. IDENTIFY THE LOCATION OF PFILE,SPFILE,CONTROLFILE,LOG MEMBER

FOR RMANCAT.
ANS:
(A)
$ find / -name initRMANCAT.ora.
apdwd506:RMANCAT:[/usr/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs]> ls

lkDONSDMP sqlnet.log
Here default location of pfile is initRMANCAT.ora
The alertlog can give the non default location of pfile and spfile.
(B)
This can be displayed only when database is running on spfile.

4. IDENTIFY WHETHER THE DATABASE RMANCAT IS SETUP IN ARCHIVE

LOG MODE.
ANS:
sql> select log_mode from v$database;
LOG_MODE
---------------------
NOARCHIVELOG
(OR)
sql> archive log list
DATABASE LOG MODE NO ARCHIVE MODE

AUTOMATIC ARCHIVAL DISABLED
ARCHIVE DESTINATION /USR/APP/ORACLE/PRODUCT/10.2.0/DBS/ARCH
OLDEST ONLINE LOG SEQUENCE 41
CURRENT LOG SEQUENCE 43
(OR)
NOTE:
Sql> select archiver from v$instance;
Archiver column has only one value i.e FAILED irrespective of the database in Archive or
Noarchivelog mode. Hence this query can not be used to fetch required information.
5. IDENTIFY SIZE OF THE SGA AND FIND WHETHER THE AUTO MEMORY
TUNING IS ENABLED.
ANS:
(A)
Sql> select * from v$sga;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
LOCK_SGA BOOLEAN FALSE
PRE_PAGE_SGA BOOLEAN FALSE
SGA_MAX_SIZE BIG INTEGER 124M
SGA_TARGET BIG INTEGER 0
Since the SGA_TARGET value is zero, so AUTO MEMORY TUNING is not enabled.

DESCRIPTION
NUM NUMBER Parameter number

NAME VARCHAR2(80) Name of the parameter
TYPE NUMBER Parameter type:
1 - Boolean
2 - String
3 - Integer
4 - Parameter file
5 - Reserved
6 - Big integer
VALUE VARCHAR2(512) Parameter value for the session (if modified within the
session); otherwise, the instance-wide parameter value
DISPLAY_VALUE VARCHAR2(512) Parameter value in a user-friendly format. For example, if the
VALUE column shows the value 262144 for a big integer
parameter, then the DISPLAY_VALUE column will show the
value 256K.
ISDEFAULT VARCHAR2(9) Indicates whether the parameter is set to the default value
(TRUE) or the parameter value was specified in the parameter
file (FALSE)
ISSES_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether the parameter can be changed with ALTER
SESSION (TRUE) or not (FALSE)
ISSYS_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(9) Indicates whether the parameter can be changed with ALTER
SYSTEM and when the change takes effect:
IMMEDIATE - Parameter can be changed with ALTER
SYSTEM regardless of the type of parameter file used to start
the instance. The change takes effect immediately.
DEFERRED - Parameter can be changed with ALTER
SYSTEM regardless of the type of parameter file used to start
the instance. The change takes effect in subsequent sessions.
FALSE - Parameter cannot be changed with ALTER
SYSTEM unless a server parameter file was used to start the
instance. The change takes effect in subsequent instances.
ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(5) For parameters that can be changed with ALTER SYSTEm,
indicates whether the value of the parameter can be different
for every instance (TRUE) or whether the parameter must
have the same value for all Real Application Clusters
instances (FALSE). If the ISSYS_MODIFIABLE column is
FALSE, then this column is always FALSE.
ISMODIFIED VARCHAR2(10) Indicates whether the parameter has been modified after
instance startup:
MODIFIED - Parameter has been modified with ALTER
SESSION
SYSTEM_MOD - Parameter has been modified with ALTER
SYSTEM (which causes all the currently logged in sessions'
values to be modified)
FALSE - Parameter has not been modified after instance
startup
ISADJUSTED VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether Oracle adjusted the input value to a more
suitable value (for example, the parameter value should be
prime, but the user input a non-prime number, so Oracle
adjusted the value to the next prime number)
ISDEPRECATED VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether the parameter has been deprecated (TRUE)
or not (FALSE)
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(255) Description of the parameter
UPDATE_COMMENT VARCHAR2(255) Comments associated with the most recent update

AS '....../RMANCAT1/COPY/.......'
The following command works when the tablespace has one or more datafiles.
However, if we try to specify a separate name to the copy when the tablespace has more
than datafile, the copy will fail as it tries to assign the same name to the copy of each
datafile, thus throwing an error.
This error is shown in one of the examples below highlighted in red.

B)BACKUPS FULL DATABASE(INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0) WITH

C)MAXIMUM SIZE OF A BACKUPSET SHOULD NOT EXCEED
100M
D)EACH BACKUPSET SHOULD CONTAIN ONLY ONE BACKUP
PIECE
E)BACKUP SHOULD NOT TAKE LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
F)SKIP THE "USERS01" DATAFILE // THISIS NOT POSSIBLE.
FINALLY RUN THE ABOVE CREATED RUN BLOCK.
The command below allocates 3 channels of device type. The backup type is an
incremental level 0 i.e. a complete database backup. The duration of the backup is 10
minutes or less. There is one backup piece per backupset. The inaccessible tablespaces are
skipped. It is not possible to skip a specified tablespace. We have specified “skip
inaccessible” to skip those tablespaces which are invalid. The maximum size of a
backupset should be at least the size of the biggest datafile. Here system is 500m in size.
Thus it is not possible to keep maximum size of a backupset 100m.

1. CHECK WHETHER THE INSTANCES RMANCAT,DONSDMP,DONSRCP IS

APDWD506:NONE:[/USR/APP/ORACLE]> ps –aef | grep pmon

ORACLE 848028 1 0 JUN 11 - 0:24 ORA_PMON_DONSDMP

ORA_PMON_DONSDMP, ORA_PMON_RMANCAT, ORA_PMON_DONSRCP

2. CHECK WHETHER THE DATABASE RMANCAT IS UP OR NOT.

sql> select instance_name, status from v$instance;

sql> select open_mode from v$database;

Read write mode specifies RMANCAT is UP

3. IDENTIFY THE LOCATION OF PFILE,SPFILE,CONTROLFILE,LOG MEMBER

Here default location of pfile is initRMANCAT.ora

This can be displayed only when database is running on spfile.

sql> sho parameter spfile

NAME TYPE VALUE

3 1 42 20971520 2 NO CURRENT 556588 13-JUN-09

sql> select member from v$logfile;

4. IDENTIFY WHETHER THE DATABASE RMANCAT IS SETUP IN ARCHIVE

sql> select log_mode from v$database;

sql> archive log list

DATABASE LOG MODE NO ARCHIVE MODE

Sql> select component, current_size from v$sga_dynamic_components;

Sql> sho parameter sga;

NAME TYPE VALUE

6. IDENTIFY ALL THE BACKGROUND PROCESS FOR THE INSTANCE.

apdwd506:RMANCAT:[/usr/app/oracle]> ps -ef |grep RMANCAT

ORACLE 614566 1 0 JUN 11 - 0:03 ORA_MMON_RMANCAT

7. IDENTIFY THE SIZE OF DB BUFFER CACHE,LARGE POOL,SHARED POOL

NAME TYPE VALUE

sql> sho parameter db_block_buffers;

NAME TYPE VALUE

sql> select * from v$sga;

sql> select component, current_size from v$sga_dynamic_components;

8. FORCE A CHECKPOINT MANUALLY

sql> select group#, status from v$log;

sql> alter system switch logfile;

sql> select group#, status from v$log;

10. CHECK WHETHER THE DATABASE IS RUNNING ON SPFILE. IF YES

SQL> select isspecified, count(*) from v$spparameter group by isspecified;

SQL> show parameter spfile ;

NAME TYPE VALUE
