SYMPTOMS

RMAN restore fails with errors like the following:

creating datafile fno=1 name=/u01/system01.dbf
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 01/01/2010 00:00:01
ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/system01.dbf'

 

This error can happen for any datafiles. However, it is a major concern if it is datafile 1. Datafile 1 is the system datafile. It cannot be CREATED during an RMAN restore. It must RESTORED from a backup. Therefore we must look to see why it cannot be restored in the first place.

Often the  error is not a problem with RMAN unable to write to the destination drive as one might think by looking at the error message "can not create datafile 1".

CAUSE

 

There are no backups available for use

OR

The current incarnation is not set correctly

 

 

 

SOLUTION

Check the database's incarnation and observe the backup time. Do you have available backups to use? Is the incarnation set correctly?

Confirm that the incarnation and backup:

RMAN> list incarnation of database;
RMAN> list backup of datafile 1;
RMAN> list copy of datafile 1;
RMAN> list backup summary;

1) Are the backups available for use?

RMAN> list backup of datafile 1;

Instead the error is lack of backup (level 0, full or copy) of the datafile. If the backup is in status EXPIRED, then run crosscheck on the backup set key to see if it still exists:

 

RMAN> crosscheck backupset 138;

If found, the status will be updated to AVAILABLE.
If the status is still EXPIRED after running crosscheck then the backup you need no longer physically exists.

 

2) Check the CURRENT Incarnation

If a backup is Available for use, but the restore still fails, then check the incarnation. Has it been set correctly?

Consider the following:

RMAN> list backup of datafile 1;

To restore backup tag taken on 13 FEB 2015 14:09:34, (TAG20150213T140934), you must reset the incarnation to 11 before performing the the restore.

 RMAN> reset database to incarnation 11;
