转 Monitoring Restore/Recovery Progress
ora-279 是可以忽略的报错
In general, a restore should take approximately the same time as a backup, if not longer. Therefore, if your backup took 10 hours to complete, it will take at least 10 hours to restore to the same host.
Another good indicator is to determine the duration of your previous restore/recovery operations.
Monitor the logs and views and observe the rate of change. Restore and recovery operations are quite resource intensive so it's important to understand if the process is working or hung.
RMAN Log
By default the result of an RMAN operation is written to the standard output. There is no default log file. You will need to capture the result using either the SPOOL TRACE option, or re-direct the standard output to a file.
Example of a restore datafile session:
RMAN> restore datafile 5;
RMAN> spool trace off
RMAN> restore datafile 5;

Alert.log
Restore Operation
Only RMAN restore operations are written to the alert.log. User-managed restore sessions will not appear in the alert.log as they are performed outside of Oracle.
Do not be alarmed if you see corruption errors in the alert.log during the RMAN RESTORE operation. Before restoring a datafile, RMAN will check for its existence and validity. If the file is already on disk but invalid or corrupted we report it. For example, at Sun Sep 27 08:25:54 2015 we see corruption being reported for datafile 1043:
Corrupt block relative dba: 0x05000001 (file 1043, block 1)

Data in bad block:

Reread (file 1043, block 1) found same corrupt data (no logical check)
Sun Sep 27 08:25:54 2015
Later on we see the file is restored from valid backup and no further corruptions are reported on this datafile:
Full restore complete of datafile 1043 +SYSFILES/epicaccess50.dbf. Elapsed time: 1:27:39
checkpoint is 90364602816
last deallocation scn is 45006515743
Recovery Operation
All recovery sessions, whether user-managed or RMAN will also be written to the alert.log. This is an example of a RMAN recovery session:

Database altered.
[1] take the datafile offline in preparation for a restore from your user-managed backup
[2] once the datafile is restored from your user-managed backup, recover it
[3] the first archivelog required to recover this file
[4] we have pressed the ENTER key, hence asking Oracle to apply the log requested
[5] if there are a lot of archivelogs to apply and they are all in the archive directory, use the AUTO option for Oracle to apply the rest of the required archivelogs. Otherwise you will need to manually specify each archivelog requested, or press ENTER when prompted for each archivelog
[6] recovery is now complete
[7] place the datafile online, thus making it available for use again
Operating System Utilities
The file being restored should be increasing in size until its actual size. The timestamp should also be changing as the file is being updated by Oracle. Use an operating system utility such as "ls -lt" to see this information.
$ ls -ltr <full path and file name being restored>
eg:
$ ls -ltr /database/db251/asbs/BLOB_DOC_IMAGES_B12.dbf
You can also use operating system utilities such as vmstat, sar and iostat to monitor resource utilization. Is the hardware working to its full capacity? Where is the bottleneck? Are there other I/O intensive operations happening on the host? Install Oracle's OSWatcher utility for more information if required.
If the files are being restored to ASM you should also be able to check its existence in ASM as well. Note however that you may only be able to see it in ASM once it has been fully restored.
Please also be aware of this issue:
Note 882555.1 - RMAN is Not Restoring OMF Datafiles in Their Original Location
Data Dictionary Views
All RMAN operations will have a corresponding database session. Therefore you can query the data dictionary to check its progress.

4) Recovery Progress
What is the recovery progress? V$RECOVERY_PROGRESS is only populated when RECOVERY is in progress. A restore operation will not populate this view. So if you think a recovery process is slow - is it really at the recovery phase, or still restoring from RMAN backuppieces?
This is an example of a recovery progress:
22:27:38 SQL> select START_TIME,TYPE,ITEM,UNITS,SOFAR,TOTAL from v$recovery_progress;
START_TIME TYPE ITEM UNITS SOFAR TOTAL
--------------------------- --------------- -------------------------------- ------------------------ ---------- ----------
12-nov-14 16:08:10 Media Recovery Average Apply Rate KB/sec 29713 0
12-nov-14 16:08:10 Media Recovery Redo Applied Megabytes 660747 0
12-nov-14 16:08:10 Media Recovery Last Applied Redo SCN+Time 0 0
12-nov-14 11:28:16 Media Recovery Checkpoint Time per Log Seconds 6 6
12-nov-14 11:28:16 Media Recovery Standby Apply Lag Seconds 0 0
Redo recovery rate is determined by a number of factors:
1) PARALLEL_EXECUTION_MESSAGE_SIZE
The default value for this parameter may not be big enough, thus consider increasing to its maximum operating system dependent value:
SQL> alter system set parallel_execution_message_size=65535 scope=spfile;
This parameter change needs the database to be restarted/remounted.
2) native I/O rates at the hardware level - consult with your system administrator/hardware vendor for this
3) recovery parallelism
This is operating system dependent - Oracle will startup the required number of parallel processes to perform this task.
If you feel the need to manually specify this, then the commands are:
SQL> RECOVER datafile x,y,z parallel (degree 32);
OR
SQL> recover parallel 32;
4) if after tuning the above, redo apply rate is still not acceptable then you can temporarily set db_block_checking to false to try and boost recovery performance.
Media Management Logs
If restoring from tape, confirm that it is indeed restoring from tape rather than waiting on the media manager to service the request. Is the tape busy or idle? Ask your media management support team to confirm the rate at which data is being read from tape.
See note 1309174.1 for further media management troubleshooting techniques if required.
