Performing Disaster Recovery with RMAN

Here i'm trying to do the disaster recovery using RMAN.

Primary machine:192.168.2.102
Secondary Machine:192.168.2.104

In primary machine:-
[oracle@server1 ~]$ sqlplus /  as sysdba
SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
PRIM

Now creating a table and we will check it on the secondary machine which i would use for distaster recovery.
SQL> create table students (name varchar(20));

Table created.


SQL> insert into students values ('soumya');

1 row created.


SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

#Now I will take rman backup of the database.Also i need to make sure
control autobackup on option is enabled.

rman target /

connected to target database: PRIM (DBID=4130009889)

RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name PRIM are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u01/app/%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BASIC' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE ; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf_prim.f'; # default

As we can see CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON OPTION IS ENABLED.NOW we will start taking the backup.

RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;

#Now we need to create the directory structures for datafile, controlfile, redolog file and spfile in secondary database as of primary database.
To get the list of directory structure we will check the data dictionary view.

[oracle@server1 ~]$ sqlplus /  as sysdba
#To list all datafiles location:-
SQL> select name from v$datafile;

NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/system01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/sysaux01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/undotbs01.dbf

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/example01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/testtbs.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/testtbs1.dbf

#To list all redolog file's location:-
SQL> select member from v$logfile;

MEMBER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/redo03.log
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/redo02.log
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/redo01.log

#To list the all controlfile's location:-
SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/control01.ctl
/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/prim/control02.ctl

#To list the directory where tracefile resides:-
SQL> show parameter dump_dest;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
background_dump_dest                 string      /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/pri
                                                 m/prim/trace

                                                 m/prim/cdump

                                                 m/prim/trace

#Now we would create the directory structure for secondary database:-

In seondary database:-
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/prim
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prim/prim
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prim/prim/adump
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prim/prim/bdump
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prim/prim/cdump
[oracle@server2 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prim/prim/udump
[oracle@server2 ~]$ chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /u01

#Now we can delete all the datafiles from the primary database if we want to.

#Now we will copy all the backup files into the secondary database machine.

[oracle@server2 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=prim
[oracle@server2 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@server2 db_1]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

We would like to paste the backup file into /tmp/backup location.
[oracle@server1 ~]$ mkdir -p /tmp/backup

#Now transferring backup from primary database server to secondary
#In primary database server:-
[oracle@server1 ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/PRIM/backupset/2015_01_11
[oracle@server1 2015_01_11]$ scp -r * oracle@192.168.2.104:/tmp/backup/
#copy the archivelogs:-
[oracle@server1 2015_01_11]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/PRIM/archivelog/2015_01_11
[oracle@server1 2015_01_11]$ scp * oracle@192.168.2.104:/tmp/backup/

#Now in secondary database server:-
[oracle@server2 u01]$ export ORACLE_SID=prim
[oracle@server2 u01]$ rman target /
