Rman Duplicate/Clone/restore db without target db availability
381414Sep 13 2008 — edited Sep 26 2008Hi,
i would like to know whether i can clone, duplicate a db from the following information i have,
1) my target db & server are down,
2) DBID not known
3) no catalog info.
i don't ahve any backup logs taken during rman backup through which i can get db info, as catalog resides on the same server
4)backups taken by rman catalog (same server where target db is hosted) with no archivelog mode are intact in my backup disk drive placed in different server and of past 7days of backup is there for this database called GCMADMIN. sample list of 1 day backup files are
r5jqcvcp_1_1
r4jqcvco_1_1
r6jqcvfv_1_1
r7jqcvh3_1_1
i have to restore/clone from this backup files, could you please guide me in how should i go from here. it sounds to be crazy but what i got from Sys admin is just placed before u guys.
Regards
Saha
