I need to run a block corruption test. I have a BCV copy of prod I am
running this on. We are not using RMAN for prod backups. I can't change
this.
DB Version: 10.2.0.5.6
DB Size: 10 TBs
files are on raw partitions
rman target /
backup validate database;
if I run this will this actually backup the DB? When I read the docs they
seemed to say it would only do a validate check. We have the DB copy in
noarchivelog mode.
When I ran that command I get:
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 05/21/2012
16:05:09
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode
If backup validate only checks for block corruption why does it care if I
am in archivelog mode ( i know i can bounce the db or turn it off. I want
to make sure I'm not actually taking a backup).
