How to Create Manual Standby for a Oracle 11g RAC with ASM to Single Instan

Hi All,
I have a task to configure a Single Instance Standby Database with ASM for 2-node Primary RAC+ASM database.
Version using : 11.1.0.6 Oracle 11g --- *" STANDARD EDITION "* Please note datagaurd will not be supported in standard edition.
Primary database - 2 -Node RAC using ASM storage (All datafiles, redologs, controfile and archive logs)
Need to setup a single instance standby database manually and than using scripts to transfer the archive logs from primary server to standby server to do recovery time to time.
Please let me know if there are any configuration document(s) which can help me to set the manual standby? or need your kind help to give your valuable ideas how to go in above situation.
Thanks in advance

Well if the archive logs are stored in ASM on the primary nodes, you almost definitely want to be using RMAN to access them. Then to transfer between primary and standby there are many options, this is essentially the step that Data Guard takes care of - so if you (and I) are running Standard Edition, this is the part to "worry" about.
I'm not really sure what you mean by this:
As in standard edition the archive destination will be on ASMI don't think the Edition of Oracle (Standard or Enterprise) dictates where and how you store your archive logs, but it's possible I've misunderstood what you mean...SE dictates that database storage for RAC will be ASM, including archive log files. Anything else is not officially supported. I haven't tested but it may be that you can use LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST to specify a local filesystem for archive log files as well.
If that doesn't work you'll have to script rman "backup as copy" jobs regularly and then transport the results of that.

By the way, it seems Robert has been pretty helpful, it's polite to give him some points dude. And since this is your thread, not mine, give him a "helpful" from me too :p
El DBA
Incidentally if you are forced down the RMAN backup as copy route then this will likely throw your current backup retention strategy somewhat, you'll need to think carefully about when an archivelog can be deleted following backup, how many times it might be backed up and so on. I do understand, and have argued for, the use of SE RAC. I also understand and have argued for and implemented manually managed standby a number of times. However by the time your primary database is a RAC instance and you need a standby for DR etc then you really have to look very seriously at whether Standard Edition is still the right investment or not. You will be spending a lot of DBA time managing and troubleshooting this, and you will find that it is less reliable than the off the shelf solution. I suspect that you are very close to the point where an EE installation becomes a worthwhile investment here.

Does managing Oracle 10g RAC with ASM require full root access?

We currently have three entirely separate support areas, Unix, Storage and DBA. We're now considering using Oracle 10g RAC with ASM and as part of the assessment trying to work out if we can still draw similar support boundaries. I know that installing RAC and configuring ASM requires root access but will DBA continue to need root access to manage & support RAC? If so, does anyone know if the commands they need can be RBAC'd or if we just need to share root access going forwards. I've had a look at a number of docs including http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm. which is fairly informative but none of them seem to mention the requirement for root access on Solaris. I'm guessing they just assume that it's available, but that's not generally the case in our environment.
All advice / info welcome!

I would have thought that the only reason you would need root access once RAC and ASM had been set up would be to add more disks to the ASM configuration. This would be needed to change the ownership on the raw LUNs or to make additions to metasets (SVM/Oban) or diskgroups (VxVM/CVM). Beyond that, I can't imagine needing root access.
I'm sure others will chime in if they can think of other reasons!

Tim

Single-instance manual standby for a three-node RAC database

Hi all,
I am wondering how it is possible to create a manual standby database for a rac primary database.
Oracle versione is standard edition 11.1.
I have experience creating and managing manual standby for single-instance database; I am wondering if and how I can instruct the single-instance standby database to discover and apply the three redo threads that I will copy from the primary site to the standby site.
Should I use rman to catalog all the archived log on the standby site ?
Should I configure many LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters to point to many different path, one for each primary instance (i.e. one for each redo thread), and let rman automagically discover all the archived logs ?
Should I configure only LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 , put archivelogs from all threads in the same folder, and let rman automagically discover all the archived logs ?
Thanks for every answer!
Andrea

Hi,
indeed i catalog all transfered archive logs in front of the recover process.
During the tests i believe (iirc) i was unable to recover from transfered archivelogs without catalog them first. But this statement is out of my mind, i am not 100% sure for this, sorry.
Some more details.
Because it is a standard edition, i have to use on the RAC side ASM. So our normal scripts to transfer archivelogs from primary to standby are obsolete.
So i decided to put the whole standby thing into the database. Now the primary database uses external scheduler jobs to do the work. The standby side is not using ASM, so there is no need to handle the logs in any special way.
The steps are:
1. Get SCN from primary and standby
2. Transfer the logs for the gap from ASM to "normal" filesystem.
3. Transfer (and compress, if not in LAN) to standby archive dest
4. Catalog on standby side
5. Recover on standby side
6. Delete on normal filesystem (on both sides, but on standby with a delay of 2 days just to be sure)
The steps on the standby side are both using the primary scn from step 1 as a parameter to avoid error messages during the catalog or recover call.

Requeriments OS for installation Oracle 11g RAC in Windows 2003

I plan to install Oracle 11g Standard with RAC in Windows 2003 Server.
I will use 2 nodes with the same OS.
I will use a SAN with fibre channel, to store the DB.
It is possible to install Oracle RAC in W2003 Standard ?
I need obligatory W2003 Enterprise?
The cluster of the 2 nodes is made by OS or by Oracle Clusterware?
Thanks in advance.

You can install on Windows 2003 Standard, it works with this OS. On the other hand the cluster is configured by the oracle clusterware. You need to make absolutely sure you are able to write from both nodes to the shared storage. Specific details on the regedit parameters you have to configure and specific OS issues are detailed at the above reference Werner posted.

Install Oracle 11G, RAC with VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE on one server?

Dear Experts,
I'm looking to upgrade my skills, and want to learn more of:
Oracle 11G, RAC, VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE
My server has two quad cores (8 CPU altogether) and 16 gigs of RAM.
Years ago, I took a shots at installing RAC on multiple servers and firewire.
One thing I remember was that after I installed RAC, I was not able to use the database unless I enabled all the RAC processes on the server. So, I was not able to just boot the database and use it in the traditional single server manner.
Which I will also want to do.
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?No.
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?For learning/traning/demonstration purpose you can Install all these software on same machine.
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?There will not be any conflicts. I would suggest you to select vmware or virtual box in order to configure all these sw's.
I have done such a configuration on my laptop with i7 Quad processor, 16GB RAM and 640 GB HDD.
I have Installed 2 node RAC, 2 Node ERP and all are running smoothly without any issues.

How to create manual key for AES with 256 key size

we are just finding Different Approch for secure Key Genration and Store.
For security purpose which way would be secure to store key in database and retrive that key.
And can u tell me how to create secure maual key.
Database user has access they should not able to find the what key we are using .
Anybody has idea.

1) Use 'keytool' with option -genseckey
2) Use SecureRandom and store in a Java Keystore.
3) Use a Secure Random with something like http://www.strongkey.org/
4) Use hardware encryption such as produced by nCipher and others.
There are many other approaches and I would suggest that you bring in an expert to advise you.

Oracle 10g RAC with ASM upgrade RHEL3 to RHEL4

Has anyone acheived this or know of any documentation highlighting any pitfalls ?

Hi.
If you are using raw devices for ASM, I would not expect there to be a problem. I would have thought all you have to do is:
- Stop Oracle from starting automatically on reboot.
- Reboot the server and upgrade the OS.
- Make sure all the prerequisites for the new OS are meet (check the isntall guide).
- Startup Oracle.
Note. It may be wise to do a "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all" to make sure.
If you are using ASMLib with ASM, then you will also need to upgrade your ASMLib software, as this is kernel version specific.
Of course, I've never had to do this, so don't take my word for it :) Maybe an SR on Metalink is in order.
Cheers

Oracle 11G RAC with EBS ---

Hello All,
I have couple of questions -
We have enterprise edition database..
1. Can we go with 11gR2 RAC without ASM?
2. Can i use LUN's for RAC?
Please let me know.

user8302436 wrote:

1. Can we go with 11gR2 RAC without ASM?Yes. But it would be plain stupid IMO. Like racing a superbike and deciding to not wear a helmet, kneepads and safety gear.
ASM only has advantages. It would very foolish to throw these out of the window. If you do - well, then you will likely stuff up the rest of the RAC architecture too, like using a 100Mbit Ethernet for the Interconnect, decide that private switches for the Interconnect is not worth it and so on.
And then blame the lack of robustness and performance of that RAC cluster on Oracle?
2. Can i use LUN's for RAC? Of course. ASM/Oracle does not care what the actual device is. It can be scsi target device. It can be a LUN made visible via EMC's Powerpath or Linux's Multipath. It can be character bound raw devices. Etc.
The kernel and driver stack deals with the technical side of that device - and that device (LUN or whatever) is then made visible to application s/w (like ASM and the Oracle RDBMS). This software uses the standard I/O interface of the kernel for reading from and writing to that device.

How to create an alias for a custom command line with paramters

Is it possible to create an icon that runs a terminal command line ?
What i want to do is start firefox with a specific profile. In terminal this is done by using Firefox -P [profileName]
How can I put this in an alias (or something else) ?
I tried creating an alias that changing the original but it won't let me insert a command line.
Any help ?

In my .profile this works: alias f="/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P doug"
for starting under my profile. Make sure you run source ~/.profile if you add an alias to .profile
Starting default FFox profile is /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P swxazqvy.default
And for Desktop icon to start whichever profile, open Script Editor and paste with proper changes(and save as an app(maybe to Desktop again?) :
do shell script "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P doug"
And you can make an executable with icon in a bash script with above and chmod u+x it and save to Desktop too.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC with ASM with asm_preferred_read_failure_group

Hello DBAs,
I apologize first if this question has been posted somewhere.
I have a two nodes cluster so essentially, I have 2 ASM instances (ASM1 & ASM2). It seems like both instances share the same ASM spfile.
+ASM1> show parameter spfile;
NAME TYPE VALUE
spfile string +OCRDG/clone-cluster/asmparame
terfile/registry.253.759424467
=====================================
+ASM2> show parameter spfile;
NAME TYPE VALUE
spfile string +OCRDG/clone-cluster/asmparame
terfile/registry.253.759424467
The Oracle docs says that you can configure asm_preferred_read_failure_group for each instance so when I logged in instance 1, I ran the command:
+ASM1> alter system set asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG1', 'DATA.FG2';
then it showed DATA.FG1 is primary and DATA.FG2 is secondary but this also shows on instance 2 because it uses the same spfile.
How can I make instance 1 uses DATA.FG1 for primary and instance 2 uses DATA.FG2 for primary. I have separate GRID home for each node.
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks,
TD

Any help is much appreciated.Normally we can give different values for each instance, But i never tried in ASM.
Here is example
SQL> alter system set asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG1' sid='ASM1';
SQL> alter system set asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG2' sid='ASM2';So DATA.FG1 will be allocated to ASM1, DATA.FG2 will be allocated to ASM2.
Now check from ASM1
SQL> show parameter asm_preferred_read_failure_group
& from ASM2
SQL> show parameter asm_preferred_read_failure_group

Local file system for archive destination in RAC with ASM

hi Gurus .
I need an info.
I have ASM file system in 2 node RAC.
The client does not want to use flash recovery area.
Can we use the archive destination as local file system rather than ASM.
like /xyzlog1 for archvies coming from node 1 and /xyzlog2 for archive logs coming from node 2.
Imortant thing is these two destinations are anot shared with each nodes.
OS is solaris sparc 10.
version is 10.2.0.2

There is huge space in the storage.
Pls tell me in general ho wdo you do this.
Do we take and one disk from the storage and format it with local file system and share it among the 2 nodes?
If so then that mount point will have same mount point name if we see it from other node... ..ryt
In this scenario if one instance is down then from the same shared mount point which is on the same node(down) can apply archves?Here, Earlier you are using any ASM shared location for ARCHIVES ?
if so you can add a CANDIDATE disk to your existing ARHCIVE disk group(shared).
if not from LUN's after format, I.e. candidates based on that you can create a new DISK group(shared) according to your space requirements. THen you can assign to log_archive_dest_1 for both the nodes to single shared location(disk group)

How to create custom infotype for training and event management

IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
thanx in advance

Hi,
Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
