Rman database duplication failed on same server with different oracle home.

Please post dbclient log on client.
If folder does does exist, create it followed by chmod 777 dbclient.
Retry the restore and post log.

One more thing - are you 100% this backup image (dfcon_DEV_5ql87v56_186_1.bak) is a NetBackup image and not a backup to disk? The filename does not look like an NBU image.
Confirm rman images on master from cmd:
Example from manual: The following example uses bplist to search all Oracle backups for a client named jupiter:
...\netbackup\bin\bplist -C jupiter -t 4 -R /
/exb_n2bm5bco_1_1392342936
/exb_mabm02ko_1_1392170136
/exb_lqbltds6_1_1392083334

Hi,

Thanks for update.

On netbackup server we have dbclient folder at C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\dbclient location we gave all access to dbclient folder and ran our rman scripts on unix client. But it is not generating any logs in dbclient folder.

On unix client we dont have any dbclient folder. If its required on unix client for collecting the logs please let us know the exact location where we need to create dbclient  folder.

Please advice,

Mekkalki. 

 

Hi,

"dfcon_DEV_5ql87v56_186_1.bak" we gave this name to datafile backup in our rman script.

In rman catalog we are able to see this file name & it is showing us as available in rman catalog as follows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ran bplist command given by you on our unix client. But it is not returning anything. Please see below command.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
orarec@kdddev2:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin>bplist -C kdddev2 -t 4 -R
EXIT STATUS 227: no entity was found

What backup we are taking on tape is not valid ? or it not proper way to take backup on tape ? or it is not recorded in netbackup catalog ?

Please advice.

We are taking rman backup from unix client through custom script which we made as per our requirement. In script we are allocating channels of device type sbt_tape. Then we are taking datafile +archive log backup &controlfile backup on tape.In rman catalog we are able to see all backups as avalible backup and netbackup server also shows tape backup completed successfully without error.

Please advice.

Extract from NBU for Oracle manual:
To enable the database agent logs
1 Create the following directories on the client:
...
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpdbsbora
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bporaexp
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bporaimp
...
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/dbclient
For example:
cd /usr/openv/netbackup/logs
mkdir bphdb
2 For 64-bit, also create the following directories
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bporaexp64
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bporaimp64
3 Set the access permissions to 777 on these log directories.
For example:
chmod 777 bphdb


Try to add start and end date to bplist command. I think the default is last 24 hours:

-s mm/dd/yyyy  -e mm/dd/yyyy

DO NOT FORGET  the "/" after -R:
-R /

We have created folders on client & given 777 permissions to the folders as suggested. Now we are going run restore.

Please advice.

Hi,

We ran restore one more time after proper folders creation but except dbclient folder nothing else is got populated with log file.

We are uploding log file generated in dbclient folder at client side.
We made change in log file as client ip address with x.xx.xxx.xxx and master ip address with y.yy.yyy.yyy nothing else is changed.

Please advice.
Mekkalki.

Problem in dbclient log:
Backup file <5cl81pbd_1_2> not found in NetBackup catalog

I can see in the dbclient log that the client name is kdddev2 - the same name that was used for the backup (output of bplist).
I can also see that the required image 5cl81pbd_1_2 does indeed show up in the bplist output:
5cl81pbd_1_2:\

The error 'not found in NetBackup catalog' was returned by bprd & bpdbm on the master server. We now need to see the bprd log on the master server for the same period (12:16 - 12:17). This will tell us how the master server is interpreting the restore request.

Please find and post the section in bprd log from the time that the incoming request is received from client's IP address.

Hi,

kdddev2 is the client from where we are taking database backup from one instance & on same server but different oracle home where we want restore & create another instance.

We are uploading bprd.log from master for some period.

Same like dbclient log we edited bprd.log. We changed client ip address with x.xx.xxx.xxx and master ip address with y.yy.yyy.yyy

Please advice.
