Cleaning RMAN

[dpafumi]

Hi to all,
I have a quick question, I was using RMAN to perform my backups and those backuped files were generated on an NFS mounted drive.
Now someone remove the NFS mounted drive so my catalog is out of Sync.
I'd like to start all over on my RMAN configuration, so my question is:
Can I just :
1- connect to RMAN and perform a drop catalog;
2- then delete all the rman backuped files?
3- After that create the catalog again

I will have anything wrong doing this?

Thanks,
Diego

hi diego....i suggest u create a test db to be sure then play over

You can try also:

rman> crosscheck backup;
rman> reports obsolete;
rman> delete obsolete;
rman> report schema;
rman> report need backup;
rman> list backup;
rman> list expired backup;
rman> delete expired backup;

Hi Davey n Friends,

I got problem with this rman> delete obsolete COMMAND.
I do manual deletion of old archive logs after i backup our
database for the current date. But rman keep on tracking it too
so i want to delete it from its database or from the controlfile.
So when i do the following

rman target / nocatalog
rman> crosscheck backup;
rman> report obsolete; ### this will report obsolete archivelogs
rman> delete obsolete; ### this will delete obsolete archivelogs
**** but the problem is the list still persist or showing.
How do I clear it up?

Thanks

crosscheck the archive logs as well crosscheck everything

Not sure on the exact syntax
