Most of this is taken from the Oracle Integration Guide
or, by clicking Help -> Guides in the GUI
I especially recommend that you read pp 58-66 which discusses the Restore procedure in detail, and pp 67-68 which discusses duplicating an Oracle Database
Make sure that you have met these requirements
•An instance of Oracle must be created on the system to which you want to restore or duplicate
the database.
• The database must be in the Mount state if the whole database is being restored, or in the
NoMount state if the control file is being restored or a database duplication is performed.
• You must be able to connect to the database.
If you are using the Recovery Catalog, I will need to find some further information because the Integration Guide was not specific. However, after Oracle9, most people use the Control File. Here is what it does say:
3. In the Data Protector GUI, switch to the Restore context.
4. Under Restore Objects, expand Oracle Server, expand the system on which the database, for
which you want to restore the recovery catalog, resides, and then click the database.
5. In the Restore action drop-down list, select Perform RMAN Repository Restore.
In the Results Area, select RECOVERY CATALOG.
So, you would create a new instance on the target machine, and restore to that
Next. is the Control file
Open the 'sqlplus' window and put the database in the nomount state
2. In the Data Protector GUI, switch to the Restore context.
3. Under Restore Objects, expand Oracle Server, expand the system on which the database, for
which you want to restore the control file, resides, and then click the database.
4. In the Restore Action drop-down list, select Perform RMAN Repository Restore.
In the Results area, select the control file for restore.
Finally, restore the Oracle Database objects
Before you restore Oracle database objects, ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the
recovery catalog database and the control file. They contain the database structure information
Put the database in the mount state.
In the Data Protector GUI, switch to the Restore context.
4. Under Restore Objects, expand Oracle Server, expand the system on which the database, for
which you restore the database objects, resides, and then click the database
I was not able to paste in a screenshot of the Options page that shows this
What I have put into this response is by no means complete, it is more of a guideline. Please fill in the details from the Integration guide
