Thread: recover System tablespace from RMAN?

    Question

    Is it possible to restore and recover the System tablespace using RMAN? I can't seem to allocate a channel in RMAN with the target database closed, and yet I know I cannot take the System ts offline in order to perform recovery.
    If I have to manually restore the System ts, then how do I do that if all I have is one big backuppiece for the entire database? (Online complete backups are taken daily.)

    Please help.

    I have not done that before but I think target database should be in mount state if you want to do a cold backup or restore system tablespace. RMAN should be able to read the control file of the target database.

    I tried recovery while db is in mount. This is the error stack I get:

    3> restore ( tablespace 'SYSTEM' );
    4> recover tablespace 'SYSTEM' ;
    5>
    6> }

    Any other ideas?

    I think that my backups must have been corrupted. I deleted all old backups and took a new one. Then I tried it and it worked with the db in "mount". Thanks for the link - that is a great example. How did you find that? Are there any more examples?

    I'm trying to test all likely scenarios on our db before we go live...

    what if, using rman nocatalog (use control file) to recover system tablespace. I guess it can not do it - here is my thought

    rman to restore datafile need db mount
    no system tbs, how you mount db?

    any one agree?
