Hi all,

When I tried to restore from RMAN tape backupset I found the following error:

RMAN> restore controlfile;

channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: restoring control file
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: reading from backup piece c-613196953-20090315-00
ORA-19864: Piece c-613196953-20090315-00 had no data
failover to previous backup

channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: restoring control file
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: reading from backup piece ora_dPBLPROD_T20090315_264_1.bak
ORA-19864: Piece ora_dPBLPROD_T20090315_264_1.bak had no data
failover to previous backup

But the backup of control files exists in tape.
Could anyone please tell me what the problem is?

You have provided no factual evidence that "But the backup of control files exists in tape.".
You have only proclaimed it to be true.
If I have to pick which knows reality, I pick RMAN over rookie!

Hey,

You must remember that orafaq forum is not a fun space. So without facing any problem, people do not write here.

I am facing a problem and I know that the data exists in tape and I required any suggestion from people who faced this kind of problem.

Please if you don't know the solution you don't need to answer anything.

Ofcourse.

Yes. I agree; How we come to know backup exists or NOT. If it's exists you may post the backup details. Right? (For our confirmation)

According your error message. Metalink document 5870989.8

Hi,

you can run crosscheck before restore.

rman> crosscheck backup of controlfile;

Rman will let you know which backup piece is good, then you can use that backup piece to restore.

Regards,
Alex

Hi,

At last I successfully restored my data. The following command was required:

RMAN> restore controlfile from tag '<tag_name>'

There is a bug in Oracle 10.2.0.3 from metalink and it does not support any other "restore controlfile" command except the above one.
