We are currently testing our backup strategy with Symantec and so far so good.
Since last week I have been trying to do a bare metal restore of an oracle server. this is what I did so far:
- Convert original machine to Virtual machine Point in Time.
- Rename server + assign new IP + new SID
- remove oracle broken database instance (oradim -delete)
- Create new instance with same SID (oradim -new)
- generate new password file (orapwd file=path\pwdsid.ora password=<password>)
- change DBID to the original (rman: SETDBID<dbid ID>)
- Reconfigure backup exec agent utility, restore trust, reconfigure oracle instance and database access.
- Add 'new' virtual server to backup exec interface and configure password
- create restore job in old 'broken' server that uses last available control file.
- restore to a different Oracle server, with the server name, correct log on account and database log on account.
when I execute this job i get the RMAN error:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 11/18/2013 14:47:45 ORA-27191: sbtinfo2 returned an error
when I enable server side debugging this is the last entry i see in my log:

to clarify, mlinetstsvr02 is the original server that is broken. mlinetstsvr02-vm is the new machine.
Does anybody have any idea how I can resolve this? Or is there a good step by step guide to do this?
I used the administrators guide but this is not that clear imho.
