Recovery Appliance Error Message Reference

25 Recovery Appliance Error Message Reference

This chapter provides details on the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance (Recovery Appliance) error messages, which occur between ranges ORA-45100 and ORA-45299, between ranges ORA-64700 and ORA-64899, and between ranges ORA-61100 and ORA-61699.

ORA-45100: Database incarnation went from %s to %s. Recovery Appliance repair is required.

Cause: A 'startup resetlogs' command was executed on the Recovery Appliance. This caused old metadata to be used to refer to the storage locations. Before the Recovery Appliance can be started, a repair operation must be run to synchronize its metadata with its storage.

Action: Execute DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE. If any incidents are logged during the subsequent repair, they will need to be corrected. Once they have been corrected, repeat the execution of DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE.

ORA-45102: unable to allocate %s bytes of storage

Cause: The Recovery Appliance was unable to allocate additional disk space in the storage location of the database for the current allocation. This condition may be due to one of the following reasons:

Guaranteed copy has been specified for a database and there are too many backups waiting to be copied to tape.
Nothing can be purged within the storage location of the database.
There are no purgable backup pieces for the database and the sum of the sizes of the pieces being received by the database exceeds its DISK_RESERVED_SPACE.
The metadata of the Recovery Appliance is being repaired.

Action: Add additional storage to the storage location of the database. Increase the DISK_RESERVED_SPACE for the database if it has been set too low.

ORA-45109: metadata for database %s; file %s has inconsistencies

Cause: Internal self checks found inconsistencies in the metadata used to manage the Recovery Appliance block pool.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services and provide trace and alert files.

ORA-45111: Task %s is being terminated after %s restarts.

Cause: A Recovery Appliance task generated too many errors. Following an error, a task is normally restarted. If it fails to restart after 10 tries, the Recovery Appliance marks the task as broken and no longer tries to restart it.

Action: Correct the error that terminated the task and request the task to be rerun.

ORA-45113: Recovery Appliance internal error %s

Cause: An internal error was encountered.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services and provide trace and alert files.

ORA-45114: file "%s" not referenced by metadata for storage location %s

Cause: A consistency check performed by the check files task of the Recovery Appliance identified that the file was not being referenced by the metadata of the Recovery Appliance. Without these references, the Recovery Appliance cannot manage the file.

Action: If the file was inadvertently put in the storage location, it should be moved elsewhere. If the file has been separated from its metadata, contact Oracle Support Services and provide trace and alert files.

ORA-45115: database with DB_KEY %s is too big to move.

Cause: An attempt was made to move the specified database to a new storage location, but the database could not be shrunk to within its storage reservation and still preserve its retention window.

Action: Increase the storage reservation for the database or shrink its retention window.

ORA-45116: anomaly detected while reading metadata for backup piece with BP_KEY %s

Cause: A transient anomaly was found in the backup data.

Action: If the anomaly persists, find a copy of the backup piece, if available, and reinsert it into the storage location. If no copy is available, generate a new level 0 backup for all data files in the backup piece.

ORA-45117: There is not enough space for this task.

Cause: Space could not be allocated from the storage location to support this operation.

Action: Review space usage by the different databases and take action:

Review the RA_INCIDENT_LOG and see what space related incidents might have been recorded. Look for failures that might have impacted normal operations.
Look for databases without an entry in RA_DISK_RESTORE_RANGE. Such databases are unable to release space properly. These databases are not fully recoverable.
Consider moving databases to another RA.
Consider adding more space to your storage location.

ORA-45118: servlet timeout error

Cause: A restore task was waiting on a servlet process to pass data to a client. The time allotted for responding was exceeded and the restore task was aborted.

Action: This can be a common occurrence if the client cancels the restore request. Reissue the request.

ORA-45119: received a nonexistent operation for privilege change

Cause: An illegal option was specified.

Action: BACKUP, RECONCILE, READ, WRITE, and NULL are only supported values.

ORA-45120: operation failed due to insufficient space

Cause: The storage location was too small to support the new database.

Action: Increase the size of your storage location or reduce DISK_RESERVED_SPACE in the protection policy.

ORA-45121: received an incorrect value for a privilege change

Cause: An internal error was detected while granting or revoking privileges.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services and provide trace and alert files.

ORA-45122: invalid size or number specified

Cause: An invalid size or number was specified.

Action: Use a non-NULL or number greater than 0.

ORA-45123: The name %s (%s) already exists.

Cause: The object name was not unique.

Action: Specify a unique name for this object.

ORA-45124: Object %s (%s) is referenced and cannot be deleted.

Cause: The object was in use by a storage location or database.

Action: Delete all objects that reference this item.

ORA-45125: Object %s (%s) did not exist.

Cause: The object name did not exist.

Action: Specify an existing object.

ORA-45126: failed to delete database %s

Cause: The database could not be deleted. An unexpected error has occurred.

Action: Examine the associated messages to determine the cause of the exception.

ORA-45127: Required parameter %s must be specified.

Cause: The parameter was not supplied to API routine.

Action: Rerun the command specifying the missing parameter.

ORA-45128: backup piece %s in database %s is not referenced by the catalog

Cause: A consistency check performed by the check files task of the Recovery Appliance identified that the specified backup piece was unreferenced by the RMAN catalog. Without this reference, the Recovery Appliance cannot reclaim space used by this piece.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-45129: expected %s bytes used by database %s in storage location %s, but found %s bytes used

Cause: A consistency check performed by the check files task of the Recovery Appliance identified that the storage usage of the database in a storage location did not match the sum of the size of storage pieces assigned to the Recovery Appliance.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-45130: Storage parameter overlaps with storage in %s.

Cause: A parameter for a storage location was specified that overlapped storage previously assigned to another storage location.

Action: Reissue the command specifying a different location for the storage.

ORA-45131: illegal or unknown restore compression option specified

Cause: The specified compression option was not supported on either the Recovery Appliance database or the database providing the backup.

Action: Query V$RMAN_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM view to ensure the algorithm name matches one of the algorithm names in that table and that the option has IS_VALID = 'YES' and that the INITIAL_RELEASE column is less than both the Recovery Appliance and the database providing the backup. Reissue the command specifying a valid compression algorithm name.

ORA-45132: corrupt block detected in backup piece

Cause: A corrupt block was detected in a backup piece when populating the Recovery Appliance block pool.

Action: Perform block media recovery on the corrupt blocks of the database and do a cumulative level 1 backup.

ORA-45133: expected %s byte allocation by database %s, but found %s bytes allocated

Cause: A consistency check performed by the check files task of the Recovery Appliance found that the storage allocations of the database did not match the sum of the size of allocations for that database in all storage locations.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-45135: request terminated by the Recovery Appliance

Cause: A request was holding resources needed by the Recovery Appliance and was terminated to free those resources. This can be the result of a lack of disk space or some other resource.

Action: Check available disk space, as well as for errors on the Recovery Appliance database.

ORA-45136: invalid value for parameter %s

Cause: The value supplied for the specified parameter was invalid.

Action: Check the Recovery Appliance documentation and rerun the command with a correct value.

ORA-45137: unknown platform

Cause: The Recovery Appliance has not received any backups from System Backup to Tape (SBT) or through polling. This is necessary for the Recovery Appliance to learn about the protected platform of the database and for the current operation to succeed.

Action: Backup a small archived log or other backup using SBT or by sending it to the polling location. Then retry this operation.

ORA-45138: Backup not found.

Cause: The specified backup could not be found in the catalog.

Action: Please check and specify the correct backup piece key or backup set key.

ORA-45139: A useful backup could not be found to correct this corruption.

Cause: A virtual backup piece key was provided, but there was no known backup on tape or disk to correct this backup.

Action: If the broken backup is the oldest virtual backup for the data file, sometimes an even older backup will have the data needed to correct the catalog. Find and specify that older backup directly.

ORA-45140: cannot insert backup into catalog

Cause: The specified backup was either not an incremental or not in the proper SCN range to correct problems in the catalog.

Action: Make sure you have provided the correct key value and find a proper incremental backup piece.

ORA-45141: File "%s" was missing from storage location %s.

Cause: During recovery of the Recovery Appliance, the specified file was referenced by the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, but was not found in its storage location.

Action: The file should be recovered from a replicated Recovery Appliance if it exists. If the file has been separated from its metadata, then contact Oracle Support Services and provide trace and alert files.

ORA-45142: The Recovery Appliance prerequisite is already set up.

Cause: The DBMS_RA_INSTALL procedure was executed to set up prerequisite objects for creation of a catalog schema for the Recovery Appliance. This error is reported because there can be only one user schema that manages the Recovery Appliance for the database.

Action: To re-create the Recovery Appliance schema in another user schema, uninstall the earlier Recovery Appliance schema setup.

ORA-45143: The Recovery Appliance prerequisite setup administors user name is mismatched.

Cause: The DBMS_RA_INSTALL procedure was executed to uninstall the Recovery Appliance prerequisite object for the wrong user name.

Action: Correct the user name parameter for DBMS_RA_INSTALL and reexecute the procedure.

ORA-45144: Undefined initial replication type for protection policy.

Cause: The initial_replication_type was undefined for the protection policy.

Action: Update the protection policy initial_replication_type with one of LAST FULL, ALL, or NONE.

ORA-45145: Recovery Appliance user %s does not exist.

Cause: The Recovery Appliance user did not exist.

Action: Specify an existing Recovery Appliance user.

ORA-45146: Storage location %s needs %s additional bytes of storage.

Cause: The metadata of the Recovery Appliance was being repaired following a database open with the 'resetlogs' command and the storage allocated in the specified storage location was insufficient. This may be caused by either an 'update_storage_location' call being lost due to the 'resetlogs' command or the storage location becoming very low on free storage when the resetlogs command was executed.

Action: Update the storage location with the specified values and try the repair again by executing DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE.

ORA-45147: Database %s and database %s are both moving.

Cause: The metadata of the Recovery Appliance was being repaired following a database open with 'resetlogs' and two databases were found to be moving between storage locations. The Recovery Appliance will only function correctly when one database is being moved. This may be caused by an 'update_protection_policy' or 'update_db' call being lost due to the 'resetlogs' command.

Action: Determine the storage locations used by each database and repeat any database movements that may have been lost.

ORA-45148: must fix %s errors before restarting the Recovery Appliance

Cause: During a repair of the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, errors were found that precluded the restart of the Recovery Appliance.

Action: Fix the identified errors and execute DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE to retry the repair.

ORA-45149: unknown task type: %s

Cause: The Recovery Appliance tried to execute a task with an unknown task type.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-45150: File %s references unknown DBID %s.

Cause: During a repair of the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, the specified file was found that referenced the specified database which was unknown to the Recovery Appliance. This may be caused by an 'add_db' call being lost due to a 'resetlogs' command.

Action: Repeat the lost 'add_db' call.

ORA-45151: bad locking protocol for lock %s

Cause: An internal error caused locking to be used incorrectly.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-45152: bad backup piece format for %s

Cause: During a repair of the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, the specified file was found whose type could not be determined.

Action: Remove the corrupted file and reexecute DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE.

ORA-45153: unknown data file %s for DBID %s

Cause: During repair of the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, data for the specified database was found whose data file could not be found.

Action: Using RMAN on the specified database, use the 'resync' command to refresh the metadata on the Recovery Appliance and retry the restart of the Recovery Appliance.

ORA-45154: bad Recovery Appliance format found in file %s

Cause: During a repair of the metadata of the Recovery Appliance, a file was found in a storage location that was neither a chunk file nor a backup piece.

Action: Remove the offending file from the storage location of the Recovery Appliance and retry the restart of the Recovery Appliance.

ORA-45155: The Recovery Appliance has not been installed.

Cause: The Recovery Appliance was never installed on this database. The requested procedure is only supported on the Recovery Appliance.

Action: Do not attempt the procedure except on the Recovery Appliance.

ORA-45156: SBT job %s not found

Cause: The specified SBT job was not found.

Action: Check if the SBT job has been deleted by user. If so, then drop the scheduler job.

Cause: The specified value for the parameter was invalid.

Action: Specify a valid value.

ORA-45158: SBT library %s is not ready.

Cause: The specified SBT library was found to not be ready.

Action: Check if the library has been paused by user. If so, then resume the SBT library.

ORA-45159: RECOVERY_WINDOW_GOAL is lost for database %s.

Cause: A low space condition forced the deletion of backups needed to support the recovery window goal for the named database.

Action: This is a warning and no action is needed. However, you may use DBMS_RA.UPDATE_PROTECTION_POLICY to increase the DISK_RESERVED_SPACE value of the database to ensure additional backups are saved. Select SPACE_USAGE from RA_DATABASE to see how much space is currently in use. You should also check for KEEP backups consuming space on disk and decide if they should be moved to tape or other disk storage. See DBMS_RA.MOVE_BACKUP_PIECE for more details.

ORA-45160: Incremental forever strategy is lost for database %s.

Cause: A low space condition has forced the deletion of backup data needed to generate the last remaining virtual LEVEL 0 of one or more data files. The next client backup will be a full LEVEL 0 backup, even if LEVEL 1 was specified.

Action: This is a warning and no action is needed. However, you may use DBMS_RA.UPDATE_DB to increase the RESERVED_SPACE value of the database to ensure additional backups are saved. Select SPACE_USAGE from RA_DATABASE to see how much space is currently in use. You should also check for KEEP backups consuming space on disk and decide if they should be moved to tape or other disk storage. See DBMS_RA.MOVE_BACKUP_PIECE for more details.

ORA-45161: The backup piece size cannot exceed database DISK_RESERVED_SPACE.

Cause: An individual backup piece exceeded the database protection policy DISK_RESERVE_SPACE value. A safe DISK_RESERVED_SPACE value would exceed the size of the database.

Action: Use DBMS_RA.UPDATE_DB to increase the DISK_RESERVED_SPACE value of the database.

ORA-45162: System global area memory is configured incorrectly.

Cause: Check initialization parameters LARGE_POOL_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE. The Recovery Appliance will use all of LARGE_POOL_SIZE or 20% of SHARED_POOL_SIZE to restore virtual or tape backups. The actual space needed is NETWORK_CHUNKSIZE * 2 * (number of concurrent restore channels) where NETWORK_CHUNKSIZE is set using DBMS_RA.CONFIG. Use DBMS_RA.CONFIG to lower NETWORK_CHUNKSIZE or preferably, increase either LARGE_POOL_SIZE or SHARED_POOL_SIZE.

Action: Check initialization parameters LARGE_POOL_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE and set it correctly.

ORA-45163: operation is only supported for user %s

Cause: An attempt was made to start the Recovery Appliance by a user other than the Recovery Appliance administrator.

Action: Only start the Recovery Appliance as the user specified at installation time.

ORA-45164: The Recovery Appliance is not running.

Cause: An attempt was made to use the Recovery Appliance, but the Recovery Appliance has been deactivated by the administrator.

Action: Have the Recovery Appliance administrator execute DBMS_RA.STARTUP_RECOVERY_APPLIANCE and retry the operation.
