Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Performing a redirected restore

You can use RMAN to restore Oracle to a different client system. This type of restore is known as a directed restore.

The system environment must meet the following requirements to restore Oracle to a different client system:

Both the source and target platforms must be similar types with the same configuration.
The version of RMAN on the target platform must be compatible with the version of RMAN that was used to create the backup.

Open a command shell.
On the target system, create an avtar flag file.
This file is the same as the one described in Creating an avtar flag file, except for the --id, --ap, and --path entries, which refer to the original client system (where the backup was originally performed), not the target system.
Save the changes.
Log in to Oracle RMAN by using the Oracle user ID and password.
The command prompt changes to an RMAN prompt.
Create an empty database on the target system with the same SID as the original database.
Shut down the database and delete all control files, datafiles, logs, and FRA contents corresponding to the database.
Restart the database with the nomount option.
Restore the database by using the flag file. Restoring a database provides instructions.
