Corrupt Block and Standby Database

Guys,
I created a standby database recently. I then discovered a corrupt block on my primary, I assume the corruption is also on the standby since the files were coppied. If I repair the corrupt block on the primary how do I move the correction to the standby, do I have to recreate it?
DB version is 9iR2
Delton

Hi Delton,
How do you plan to repair the corrupt block ?
* Drop and re-create the object
* Restore from backup
In both cases, changes are replicated to the standby database, so nothing to worry about. As Sybrand has mentioned, make sure the changes are done with LOGGING option.

  • Logically corrupted blocks in standby

    Hi
    Assume I have a primary database and standby database.
    Accidentally, Some of the objects (indexes and tables) are in nologging mode in primary database.
    Force logging is not set.
    When I scan the datafiles in standby I realize that some datafiles are logically corrupted because of this issue.
    How can I get rid of these corrupted blocks?
    If I rebuild indexes with logging option, and recreate table as logging,
    Will it solve the problem? or any other suggestion
    Many thanks

    Many thanksyour primary should run in force logging mode (ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING) then the object level setting is ignored for direct path operations. You can apply an incremental backup to the standby to catchup (or just recreate the standby which might be as quick depending on volumes).

  • Standby database(11g) was still in sync after stopping the primary and standby database listener.

    Hello !!!
    I have noticed that my standby database(11g) was still in sync after stopping the primary and standby database listener.
    If this is the case then how log is transferring from primary to standby ? it is not using listener service ? kindly clarify

  • Can I have a primary database and standby database with a different windows version?

    Hi
    I need your help.
    We need to increase the memory in the server where is the standby database , but first, we need to upgrade the windows version.
    The actual version is windows 2003 standard edition 64 bits
    The new version will be windows 2003 enterprise  edition 64 bits
    This difference in windows version  between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary and standby databases ??
    What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?
    The databases are in SQL SERVER 2005.
    Thanks.
    Loreinn

    This difference in windows version  between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary
    and standby databases ??<o:p></o:p>
    There is no issue with database synchronization as long as SQL Server is of same version.<o:p></o:p>
    What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?<o:p></o:p>
    OS(Windows version) has no restriction for using SQL server 2005 database mirroring/log shipping. You can go with upgrade without any worries on SQL
    database side.<o:p></o:p>

  • How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux

    Hi ,
    How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux . Both my primay and standby are 3 node cluster each.
    Can you please suggest a good link and brief steps .
    Thanks

    Are you trying to setup a new standby or sync an existing standby database?
    OK I see it
    "standby is behind the primary"
    So you have a gap.
    I would check both alert logs for a cause. You might find something like this
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.Look for ORA-00308 and ORA-27037 and ORA-16055.
    There's no sense fixing the gap unless the cause is fixed too.
    Also check out this post from a few days ago its dealing with similar issues.

  • SCN number difference in primary and standby databases

    Hi All,
    Is it possible that primary database SCN is 20 and standby database SCN is 22 ? If yes , how it works ?
    Thankyou !

    I agree that it is possible depending on your setup. However, I read your posting and BLOG entry but it does not address out the Standby database has a GREATER SCN than the Primary.
    The answer will depend on the type of standby database you have configured (LOGICAL vs PHYSICIAL) and perhaps if it is a SNAPSHOT Standby that has been used and not rolledback.
    In what I would consider "Normal" situations the SCN of the standby database would always either be at the same SCN or be lagging.
    I have not tested it but I could see where if you had a standby database that you converted to a SNAPSHOT Standby (11g ability), made changes to the standby and had not converted it back to a normal Standby then your SCN can be ahead in the standby because the changes had not been discarded yet.

  • Goldengate between active and standby database server

    Hi:
    I want to make goldengate connection between active and standby database servers (bidirectional). is it possible?
    if yes what steps is required rather than active-active connection.
    PLease help!!!
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    What do you mean by "standby" server? If you are referring to a Data Guard standby, how would bidirectional work? That's why one is primary, the other is standby.
    If you are doing A-A, your "standby" is just another master in the N-way master architecture, so you already have a bi-di setup, right? Are you looking to replace Streams with GG?

  • DBV-0200,block already marked corrupted on physical standby database

    Dear all,
    we are facing the problem of *'DBV-200 that is block already marked corupted on standby database'* on all index datafile, we facing this error in oracle 10.2.0.3 version of database when we are running dbv utility.
    but this error can't found on our production database. It is only on standby database.
    We canot find the root cause of this error so any body tell me the cause and solution on this.
    Thanks
    Kiran Rane.

    Hi Ravi,
    i checked all indexes on our primary database some indexes is in logging mode and more than half indexes is in nologging mode but i have some doubt about index logging and nologging mode,
    when our primary database is running on 9.2.0.8 version of database this kind of error not observe but after upgrading to 10.2.0.3 version of database we are getting this kind of error so if this version having some bugs or for avoiding this error any patch is available. so tell me what is the exact reason behind this error.
    Thanks

  • Oracle stream and  standby database

    i want to implement stream(table level) in the following scenario
    what i must to set for standby as when i switch to standby database the stream work correctly like when primary was working.
    DB1--------------------stream---------------------DB2
    DB1standby .......................................DB2standby
    Narges.

    Your schema above do not tell us if this is a streams master/master. Also it is important to know if you a doing full schema replication or only some tables.
    For the db_name think global name : how do you setup a propagation when the source DB and target DB have the same TNS entry - whose name is driven by the rule dblink name = global_name = tns entry.
    Here it is a slightly different case : DG will succeed to SRC and appear as the same DB for the remote though they are on different hostname. Only way is the fail over in tns entry when you set multiple host for the same services.
    The rest should be ok except for the lost data of SRC which requires a re-sync.
    On the streams side problems remains and I am still skeptic on the feasibility : on paper no problems but problems come fast for the data's lost during the switch to DG (and this is to be expected with async DG, last SCN's will be missing on DG but not necessary on remote target site).
    Then both sites will start suffering on the loss of this data most probably with ORA 1403 data not found or Streams transactions pending and there is no way to predict the extend of this in advance. The re-sync of this status is then crucial and I am working on this. I will come back to the community with a generic procedure for master-master re-sync. One of the main problem is to identify table remote correspondents: These are easy to determine for declarative transformations but for transformation done within apply handler or transformation function associated to a context I have not find better than to comes back to the DBA and ask pitifully which are the remote target tables. The correspondence is a precious data that do not appear in any data dictionary view, but is only into the text of a pl/sql block.
    For my comments on the others thread, when the former SRC comes back, I have not considered the possibility in 11g to re-sync the former Master with a DG being the new master and sound like I should have.
    But this is all new also for me and I need to test it. if it works then you don't have the problem to setup a downstream capture between 2 DB having the same db_name.

  • How to delete archivelog with RMAN in the Primary and Standby database?

    Hello,
    I am working on Oracle 10gR2.
    My question is :
    How could I implement a automatized and secure way of:
    1) Delete archivelogs on my PRIMARY server only when these logs are successfully TRANSFERED to all my standby databases?
    2) Delete archivelogs on my STANDBY server only when these logs are sucessfully APPLIED to the database?

  • Switching between Primary and Standby database

    Hi,
    I managed to setup a standby database that is updated by the primary db either when doing a log file switch or when changing the role of the primary db to standby.
    Now I want to put the standby database (that was in primary role for a short period) back into its standby role. I entered
    "Alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown;"
    The archived redo logs as well as the control file are updated on the primary database (which was in standby role for the same short period). When I enter
    "Alter database commit to switchover to primary" I am receiving the following error message:
    SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary;
    alter database commit to switchover to primary
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-16139: media recovery required
    After issuing the recovery statement I get this message:
    SQL> recover database
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
    At the same time this log entry is written into the alert log:
    Database not available for switchover
    End-Of-REDO archived log file has been received
    Archived log files detected beyond End-Of-REDO
    Incomplete recovery SCN:0:962365 archive SCN:0:977340
    Switchover: Media recovery required - standby not in limbo
    ORA-16139 signalled during: alter database commit to switchover to primary...
    But when I try to use the BACKUP CONTROLFILE statement during recovery I get this error message:
    SQL> recover database using backup controlfile;
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01666: control file is for a standby database
    Although being quite a newbie it's obvious that the primary database (which was standby for a short period) is worried that there are older archived redo logs than online logs. I guess this happens because of the log_archive_dest definition on the standby database :
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3='SERVICE=ORAMPPRD REOPEN=60 MAX_FAILURE=3 LGWR SYNC
    VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=ORAMPPRD'
    Changes are applied immediately and only written to the archive.
    But how can it be managed that the online redo logs on the primary system are also updated when switching back from standby ???
    Thanks,
    Philipp.

    Thanks, it's working now.
    I think it's important to explizitely follow the steps to switchover standby and primary for it to work. I maybe shutdown the standby to early.
    Cheers,
    Philipp.

  • Grid Control and Standby Database

    I have a (single node) physical standby server for a two node RAC Primary.
    I can view the standby server in OEM ( java tool).
    How do I add the standby db in my Grid Control ( 10.2.0.4.0 )
    regards,Lily

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes I have grid agent running on the standby node. I have also installed 'yast rpms' and the grid control is able to see the host under the 'target' tab of grid control.
    While trying to discover the standby database, the automatic target discover fails.
    Then I did the 'manually add', and it complains 'failed to connect'.
    I believe, this is mainly because the STANDBY database is in 'MOUNT' state and I am using 'dbsnmp' to connect ot the grid control ( my grid control is configured to register new database as 'dbsnmp').

  • OEM and Standby Database

    I have not tried but I believe OEM does not automate creation of standby database be it physical or logical. Does it ?

    I m on 10.2.0.4 , Solaris os. I saw lot of forum questions on standby databse creation where folks have run into some errors while creating the standby db. No body mentioned that they are getting into errors while creating standby db through OEM or any other kind of automation from Oracle. It seems that all of them were trying to create the standby db manually by ollowing the procedure that Oracle recommends.
    Also, is data guard free ? Can I have a standby database without dataguard ? From the procedure, it looks like all you have to do is
    creata a log archive destination of type service on the primary so that log can be shipped on the other side. Where does data guard comes in picture?
    I am sorry if I sound dumb here but I am new to standby database and stuff like that.

  • How to re-synch primary and standby database?

    Hello everyone,
    Working on 10g R2/windows server 2003, I have configured a physical standby database but, I have an issue, and don't know how to resolve it.
    We were making an update that made some DDL and DML on our application, and for security reason we
    1. we ensure that primary and standby are in sync
    2. We made a cold backup of the primary database
    3. We Deferred the redo shipping between primary and standby
    4. We applied changes on primary database
    But the big issue is that, for any reason my colleague did the following.
    a) made above steps 1,2,3,4
    b) after the update he kept the resulted archived log files generated during to another location
    c) He restore the cold backup before the update(step 2 above)
    c) he applied again the update.
    Now the issue is
    At the first update step(2), the sequence# 553 was applied to the stand by before the update
    At the second update step(c) above another sequence# 553 was created but stored localy in the primary database, because the both servers were deverged (step 3 above).
    Technically both servers cannot be in sync again,because sequence# 553 at the first update has next_change# 80307804 and sequenc# 553 at the second update has next_change# 80461356.
    Question:
    How Can I do to rollback the the first sequence# 553 ( before the first update) on the standby database? in order to apply the sequence#553 generated at the second update and then re-sync both servers to roll forward subsequent sequence#? 554,etc...
    Thank you for your help

  • Primary and Standby database: same Oracle release?

    Hi ,
    we have to create a standby database in our new datacenter. The primary database is of Oracle release 9.2.0.8 - but on the server for the standby site only Oracle release 9.2.0.5.0 is installed.
    Is that supported by Oracle anyway? No need to tell that in release 9.2.0.5.0 could be some bugs and other problems which are already fixed in 9.2.0.8.
    Would be great if somebody could provide use with an answer and a link to a Oracle documentation which states: must be of same release or not.
    Any help will be appriciated!
