RMAN Restore
The Database Admin Utility lets you restore the management server database from a previously
scheduled (hot) RMAN backup, which are stored in the following directories by default: backup1,
backup2, and current. You may not have a previously scheduled (hot) RMAN backup if you
selected Disable Database Archive Mode and RMAN Backup.
To restore the database:
1. Access the Database Admin Utility as described in ” Accessing the Database Admin Utility ” on
page 232.
2. Click RMAN Restore in the left pane.
3. Select one of the following directories to restore:
• Current - The last restore from when the Database Server Backup button on the Database
tab was clicked.
• Backup1*
• Backup2*
*Information from the automatic backup (alternating weeks). See ”
About the Database Admin
Utility ” on page 232 for more information about the automatic backup.
4. Type the SYS password in the SYS Password field.
5. Click Restore RMAN.
The Database Admin Utility restores the selected database.
Running a Cold Backup
If you are running the database in no-archival mode, you should perform a cold backup frequently.
The backup is referred to as being “cold” because the management server is not running while the
backup is occurring.
NOTE: This feature does not run if the Enable Database Archive Mode and RMAN Backup
option is selected. The Enable Database Archive Mode and RMAN Backup option performs an
RMAN backup periodically. See ” About the Database Admin Utility ” on page 232 and ” Setting
the Archive Mode ” on page 238 for more information.
The following is saved during a cold RMAN backup:
• Management server RMAN backup files - These files contain information about the elements
your management server monitors.
• Oracle Network Configuration Files -The configuration files are tnsnames.ora and
listener.ora.
• CIM Repository
• Property files, such as jboss.properties
• rmanbackup.log file
• spfileappiq.ora file
