We are testing Commvault data backup and restore to S3 Compatible Storage.

 

For Oracle, archive log backup is successful whereas restore fails, and in the case of Oracle default sub-client both backup and restore fail.

 For the restore operation of the archive log:

We were unable to find the below-mentioned data files backed up in our object storage even after a successful backup, and we could notice that the GET requests are failing 302 and 303 errors.

 

Error in CommCell : Error Code: [18:183]

Backup is failing since the SQL plus database is not in open state and we are unable to alter it to open.

Hi @Jass,

To summarize your story even further you currently can't protect the database anymore, because it is in a broken state and you need to recover it from backup, right?

So, I would first perform a data verification of the required jobs to see what comes out of it: → https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/12371_validate_backups_for_data_recovery.html

In addition can you share the platform release and maintenance release that you are running? Also, you are mentioning S3-compatible, so I assume you run an on-premise S3 solution. Can you share something about it? Are you using strong write consistency? From what it looks like you might be missing some pieces to be able to recovery, however Commvault performs a lot of consistency checks when it writes data to it's library,

@Onno van den Berg , Hi , as of now, we are just testing the restore operation of a successful archive log backup. We have just changed the database to "no mount” state using SQL Plus using:
SQL> startup nomount;

  • We did perform the Data Verification job on the backup already existing and it ran successfully.
  • We performed archive log full backup, performed data verification job and performed restore but still getting a new error message stating:

  • We are using the 11.30.23 version of Commvault.
  • Yes, that’s right, we are using on premises HCP for Cloud Scale.
  • We are not aware of using any strong write consistency.

Also, as mentioned in the original thread, we are also unable to perform Default Backup
