Creating a quasi standby database

I have a question that is bugging me. here is my question. Hope it makes sense.
I have a primary database DB1. i copied all the necessary files (including control file and redo logs) to another database on a remote location (DB2) to make an exact copy of DB1 . DB2 has not been fully opened yet becuase it's main purpose is to serve as some kind of stanby DB (this is not a real standby implementation) where archivelogs are sent over from the primary DB1 and they are constantly applied to DB2. My problem is, when i try and apply all new logs created by DB1 to be applied to DB2, the recovery process just sans thru all the files and says nothing needs recovery (from alert log). I think what is happening is that the recovery process checks the scn on all the files on DB2 and realises they are all in sync and thus decides not to apply any new logs from DB1 .How can i trick the control file from DB2 to aply new logs bieng formed by DB1. DB2 is still in a mount phase and it has never been opened yet, so it is constantly in recovery mode. Basically, i need to know how i can achieve my objective,one way or another with full automation. thanks

sounds like you need to send over a copy of the control file from DB1 also, and mount the DB2 instance with that control file, at which point you can do media recovery with the logs you shipped over from DB1 to DB2.
That's a lot of work though and it's much easier to create a real standby database.

  • ERROR in creating a Physical Standby Database

    Hello all,
    I am using a Windows Vista O/S and Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition. Both my primary and standby are on the same host. Created standby instance using oradim.
    I have followed instruction in the documentation and created a manual standby database.

  • What are the differences of creating a physical standby database with ASM?

    I want to create a physical standby database for my 10g(10.2.0.1) database. But it is using ASM. Is it possible to create a standby database for a database using ASM?
    What are the differences of creating a physical standby database with ASM?

    tell us what your research shows and we'll try to
    validate it. I am simulating Oracle ASM on a PC and I want to try
    DataGuard on it now. So I am trying to create DataGuard
    on an ASM system. The purpose is only learning and test.That's telling us how you are researching, not what you have observed.
    Your research could have included looking at the documetation, and you might have found http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/scenarios.htm#sthref1642

  • Clarification on creating a Physical Standby Database

    I'm practicing with data guard with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on two Windows 2003 servers.
    I'm in the process of creating a physical standby database by following the steps outlined in the guide http://www.filibeto.org/sun/lib/nonsun/oracle/10.2.0.1.0/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm
    I've created the primary database and did a cold backup of all the datafiles and copied them to the standby server using OS commands. I've created a pfile from the spile in primary database and changed the needed parameters for the standby database.
    What I don't understand is this statement I think is creating a control file for the standby database: SQL> ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/tamp/standby.ctl'
    Exactly what I don't understand is what to do with this control file. I'm thinking that if I try to use it as the controlfile for the standby database, the standby database will refuse to open since the database name in the control file wont match the one the server expects.
    I don't want to proceed until this becomes clear. So my question is what to do with the output of the above statement that seems to create a control file for the standby database.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    >
    You're thinking wrong.
    Please clarify the difference between db_name and
    db_unique_name.
    Db_unique_name needs to be identical for both primary
    AND standby database.
    If db_unique_name differs, you'll get errors.
    Sybrand,
    Perhaps, you meant DB_NAME has to be identical for both databases.
    DB_NAME name has to be the same for both primary and physical standby database.
    DB_UNIQUE_NAME should be unique for each database in the standby configuration.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i68626
    If you configure Logical Standby Database, DB_NAME may be different.
    For the original poster: Chapter 3 - Creating a Physical Standby Database of Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration has all the steps you have to do in order to configure a physical standby database.

  • Creating a Physical Standby Database using OEM GC

    This Paper is about the creation of a physical Stanby Database using OEM GC.
    You will see that there is really nothing to it and using the Data Guard Broker, performing a switchover is as easy as 1,2,3,.
    BTW, this works in both OEM GC 10.2.0.5 and 11.1

  • Creating a Physical Standby Database

    Hi,
    I'm reading Oracle® Data Guard
    Concepts and Administration
    10g Release 2 (10.2)
    B14239-04.
    In 3.2 Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating a Physical Standby Database chapter it says :
    3.2.1 Create a Backup Copy of the Primary Database Datafiles and recommend RMAN to do that.
    And in
    3.2.4 Copy Files from the Primary System to the Standby System
    Use an operating system copy utility to copy the following binary files from the
    primary system to the standby system:
    ■ Backup datafiles created in Section 3.2.1
    Finally

    sorry , I did not finish.
    I continue
    finally,

    Step 1 Start the physical standby database.
    On the standby database, issue the following SQL statement to start and mount the

    I wonder , how to transform RMAN backup files to data files ? It is not explained or it is not necessary ?

  • Can I use data guard to create a RAC standby database for a non RAC primary

    Hi,
    we need to RAC our production database but the normal methods will mean a long outage. It is possible to create a standby as a single node RAC database and when ready do a graceful failover to the standby database and open it for business. The next step would be to create another RAC node from this on the original server.
    servers are already cluster aware, using ASM etc
    Oracle 10.2

    Yes, you will be able to setup RAC stnadby for a non-RAC Primary. For primary it just needs a available destination for redo shipping it doesn't matter whether it's RAC enabled or not. And ofcourse you are using 10.2 anyway only one node will be running MRP and that is too in standby mount mode.
    However since you have are using You may follow below sequence.
    1. Setup a new standby as RAC enabled.
    2. Perform a switchover.
    3. Shutdown the Old primary (which is standby now).
    4. Install CRS and RDBMS on the old primary and it's new node.
    5. Modify the cluster_database=TRUE and cluster_database_instances=<required number of instances>.
        With above modification mount the standby database in standby mode and start MRP.
    6. Introduce the database and instances to the OCR using SRVCTL add command.
    7. Once you your database is synchronized with Primary do a switchover.
    9. Now you can repeat step 3 to 6 on the other site too.   <- if you need your secondary site to be RAC enabled too
    10. Finally both the sites should be RAC enabled.
    Hope this is helpful!!!
    Thanks,

    The next item I'm not sure about is after creating the control file for standby use.
    One the primary server I created it using:
    alter database create standby controlfile as 'sbcontrol01.ctl';
    I copied the primary database pfile I had created earlier to the standby server, renamed it and edited it.
    Initially I left the CONTROL_FILES= parameter pointing to the control01.ctl, control02.ctl and control03.ctl that I restored. But I was getting the error ORA-01665: control file is not a standby control file
    So I copied the sbcontrol01.ctl to sbcontrol02 and sbcontrol03.ctl and pointed the CONTROL_FILES= parameter at them.
    The error went away and the database came up. I still need to test it some more but wanted to see if what i did was correct or a fluke.

    If in the primary I had control files named control01, control02 and control03 would I have been able to create a standby controlfile called control01.ctl or would I have had to name it something else like I did (sbcontrol01.ctl) and rename it to control01.ctl once I got it over to the standby database server?Suppose you have the primary database control file in C:\oracle\primary\control location with names control01.ctl and control02.ctl. Then also you can create a standby controlfile with control01.ctl and control02.ctl , but then the location to be created must be different.You can create it in C:\oracle\primary location and then transfer to the specified location mentioed in the pfile of the standby database and mount the standby database.
    But saying this i would suggested to keep the name different from control01.ctl as far as naming conventions are followed.It might confuse someoe whether its a primary database controlfe or a standby database controlfile.Usally primary database controlfile are named control01.ctl , coltrol02.ctl etc and for standby many do prefer keeping standby01.ctl, standby02.ctl.Thats just for for understanding.

  • Problem with data guard Creating a Physical Standby Database turorial

    There is a tutorial of Creating a data guard Physical Standby Database:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/ha/dataguard/physstby/physstdby.htm
    I tried to install it on two servers. One for primary database second for physical standby.
    I have error on C. Creating the standby database over the network, action #6:
    "On the standby system, set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to your <physical standby SID> (i.e. orclsby1) and start the instance in NOMOUNT mode with the text initialization parameter file."
    When I try to connect to idle instance there is an error pops up:
    C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Thu May 21 16:28:10 2009

    ERROR:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    I'v checked listener and it is runned. There is no service for database because there is no database yet.
    The question is did some one installed data guard configuration using this tutorial? Is there any errors in it? What should I do to finish this installation?

    On Windhose for every instance a service must have been created using the oradim command.
    Oracle tutorials are usually Unix-centric, as Windhose is an odd man out, so they don't discuss that bit.
    'Kindly do the needful' and create the service prior to starting the instance in nomount mode
    Hint: oradim is documented and has a help=y clause.
    IIRC there is an option in database control (in the maintenance part) which automates everything.

  • Creating a RAC standby database for a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I have a task of migrating a 500GB single instance database to a two-node RAC database with a little downtime at hand. My migration strategy is to:
    1) Create a RAC physical standby for the Single Instance database
    2) Switchover to RAC standby.
    Primary and Standby OS and DB configurations:
    OS: Windows Server EE 2003 (64-bit)
    DB: Oracle 10g Database Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    Oracle 10g Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    To create a RAC standby, I will:
    a) Install Clusterware (10.2.0.1)
    b) Install Database (10.2.0.1)
    c) Patch both Clusterware and Database (10.2.0.4)
    d) Create ASM instance for both the nodes (+ASM1 & +ASM2)
    e) create standby controlfile on primary
    f) Move standby controlfile, RMAN backup of primary, pfile, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, password file to standby host-1
    g) make necessary changes to the pfile on standby host-1 like cluster_database, instance_name, thread, ...
    h) mount standby database and restore backup
    Kindly validate my steps and if there already exists such a document then please do provide me with a link.
