Standby Database from EE to SE1

Can I do a Manual Standby Database from Oracle Enterprise edition (EE) to Oracle Standard Edition One (SE1)?

I would like to simulate a standby database environment.
You can do this by manually transferring archived redo log files using an operating system copy utility or using custom scripts that periodically send archived redo log files from one database to the other.
I'm not sure it possible to create a standby database environment with the primary running Enterprise Edition and the standby running Standard Edition One.
In fact into the note *Certification and Prerequisites for Oracle DataGuard [ID 234508.1]*, you can read:
3.2 Limitations
Primary and Standby Database must
- reside on the same Platform
- use the same Oracle Baserelease (eg. 9.2.0)
Primary and Standby should have
- the same Patchlevel (eg. 9.2.0.3)
- the same OS-Version
- the same Hardware ConfigurationEdited by: AleC on 14-Feb-2011 01:06

Manual Standby Database from EE to SE1

Can I do a Manual Standby Database from Oracle Enterprise edition (EE) to Oracle Standard Edition One (SE1)?

Hi,
You can created a manual standby for EE, But you need to purchase a seperate licence for standby database also.
See oracle licencing manul in oracle documentation.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello;
Script has to be run from auxiliary.
Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@recover2 auxiliary=sys/@reclone

connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.

Pl do not post duplicates - Issue in configuring Standby Database from Active database in 11g by RMAN

Restored standby database from primary; now no logs are shipped

Hi
We recently had a major network/SAN issue and had to restore our standby database from a backup of the primary. To do this, we restored the database to the standby, created a standby controlfile on the primary, copied this across to the control file locations and started in standby recover and applied the logs manually/registered to get it back up to speed.
However, no new logs are being shipped across from the primary.
Have we missed a step somewhere?
One thing we've noticed is that there is no RFS process running on the standby:
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
PROCESS CLIENT_P SEQUENCE# STATUS
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
MRP0 N/A 100057 WAIT_FOR_LOG
How do we start this? Or will it only show if the arc1 process on the primary is sending files?
The arc1 process is showing at OS level on the primary but I'm wondering if its faulty somehow?
There are NO errors in the alert logs in the primary or the standby. There's not even the normal FAL gap sequence type error - in the standby it's just saying 'waiting for log' and a number from ages ago. It's like the primary isn't even talking to the standby. The listener is up and running ok though...
What else can we check/do?
If we manually copy across files and do an 'alter database register' then they are applied to the standby without issue; there's just no automatic log shipping going on...
Thanks
Ross

Hi all
Many thanks for all the responses.
The database is 10.2.0.2.0, on AIX 6.
I believe the password files are ok; we've had issues previously and this is always flagged in the alert log on the primary - not the case here.
Not set to DEFER on primary; log_archive_dest_2 is set to service="STBY_PHP" optional delay=720 reopen=30 and log_archive_dest_state_2 is set to ENABLE.
I ran those troubleshooting scripts, info from standby:

On the primary, the script has froze!! How long should it take? Got as far as this:

NOW - before you say it - :) - yes, I'm aware that fal_client as STBY_R1P and fal_server as R1P are incorrect - should be PHP - but it looks like it's always been this way! Well, as least for the last 4 years where it's worked fine, as I found an old SP file and it still has R1P set in there...?!?
Any ideas?

Standby database from RMAN backup

I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.
Database : Oracle 10G R2
OS : Windows Server 2003
My backup script is
configure channel device type disk format 'J:\RMAN\RMAN_df_%U' maxpiecesize 2048M;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup database;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup current controlfile for standby FORMAT='J:\RMAN\RMAN_sc_%U';
For recovery of a standby database,
I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.
set ORACLE_SID=NGINPROD
set dbid 820336652

I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.

A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

Hi
For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
You can give ma try as well.

Creating physical standby database from another physical standby database

hi,
We have one production database and one physical standby of the production. Now we have situation where we need to create one database from either production or from standby. As production is loaded we can not do it using active database option. Now we have the only option to copy the database from standby.
As of now we open the standby and copy it using rman duplicate database and again we put it back to standby mode.
Is it possible to create standby database from standby database only?
Oracle version : 11.1.0.7.0
I have seen procedure allowing to do the same in version 11.2.0.3. I have tried searching for the difference but didn't find when this feature was introduced.
Thanks,
Ketul Patel

Hello;
Active duplicate should work when connected to Standby as source Database. However there's a bug 11715084 which is not fixed until version 11.2.0.4.
If patch 11715084 is available for your version it may work, but all the 11.1.0 are gone so I have no way to test.

Creating standby database from large databse

Hi Team,
we have to make standby database from very large database,primary generates daily 150GB arch
Please let me know which is the best method to build physical standby.
Regards,
Ajit

RMAN. It will only copy the used blocks so on a large database you can cut down a considerable amount of time.
If you turn on FORCED LOGGING on the primary, setup the directory structure on the standby server and copy the primary password file and INIT to the standby server and rename it you can use this short notes to create your standby :
http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/duprman.html
While these notes come from Oracle 11 they will also work on Oracle 10

Updating standby database from primary using rman

I have created a standby database using rman on my oracle linux server, now i want to update the standby from my primary database, but i didn't remember the scn which i used for creating the standby. How can i find out the scn from where i should perform the incremental backup on the primary, so that i can update my standby database with the latest information.

You simply need to find out which logs on the Primary have yet to be applied to your Standby. Have a look at this (or any Oracle Data Guard docs.): http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10823/manage_ps.htm#1024046
As long as the logs are available on the Primary server, then they should be sent across to the Standby server. Use the views described in the above link to check for any gaps, etc.

Problem Converting standby database from snapshot to physical

Any help willl be greatly appreciated...
I am trying to convert a standby database that is in "snapshot" mode back to "physical" standby and I am encountering problems in the process from the "DGMGRL" command line.
Both instances are on the same physical machine. Everything was working fine untill I tried to change the db from snapshot to physical. The DGMGRL starts the conversion process and is able to shutdown but when trying to restart the instance is fails and reports that the service is not defined.
Here is the issue I am facing:

Thanks for the response.
So, here is the status now....with a little background...
After my original post, I started to read the manuals and I found the sql command to convert the database back from snapshot to physical standby (sb).
That worked fine and I had my snapshot sb back to physical sb.
So when you posted the suggestion, I already had my db in physical sb mode. I said no problem, I will convert it back to snapshot and then back again using dgmgrl instead of sql+
Well here is how my listener is configured now.
SID_LIST_I11G1 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)

(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)

(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB_DGMGRL)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1SB)
Then using dgmgrl I tried to change the db from p-sb to s-sb and the results are not good....

Not sure if the following (notice the typo in the service name) in the parameter (log_archive_dest_2) definition on the standby d/b has anything to do with this. I did not get this error when I initially converted to s-sb.
also I checked all my session notes, I did not type the command to set this parameter on the standby d/b and so it was not a typo on my part. However, it seems to have come from the rman script supplied with the obe. This script is supposed to clone the primary d/b to a standby db and in the process replace the string /i11g1/ with /i11g1sb/.

I am tempted to start all over again, but I'd rather use this opportunity to debug this issue (as a learning exercise). I can always start from scratch. That brings up another Q: What do I need to do to blow away all traces of the stand by database (including all the archive logs etc...) keeping my primary intact. I'd also like to blow away all snapshot and archive logs for the primary as well.

Cannot Convert standby database from snapshot to physical

Hello all,
I am using Oracle Entreprise version 11gR1 and had made the followings configuration:
- ANAISMD2 : primary database+_+
- ANAISMD3 : physical standby datbase. Created via RMAN
Both are located on the same host running a RH 4.
ANAISMD3 is maintained successfully with the primary.
I can make a fail-over between the both: it works fine.
I can convert ANAISMD3 from physical to snapshot via DGMGRL: it works fine
But I cannot convert back ANAISMD3 to physical, got an error ORA-12514
I had checked also the listener service for both ANAISMD2/ANAISMD3 before launching the conversion:
- the services shown on ANAISMD3 seems correct e.g. ANAISMD2 is seen as a remote server.
- but on ANAISMD2, ANAISMD3 seems incorrect e.g. ANAISMD3 is seen as a local server.
I had attached some screen shots of dg/lsnrctl results;
What are the mistakes
Thank in advance for support
==> Before I made the conversion , DGMGRL shows correct primary/standby status:

You need to have static service registered with listener in this way. This is must because as you know when it converts db that time it shutsdown dbs also so all dynamic services are lost and dgmgrl is not ale to connect to db hence conversion fails.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORACLE_SID)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME=db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/oracle/product/11.1.0)
Plus with this make a entry in tnsnames.ora using service name from above or check from lsnrctl status look for service "db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain"
e.g. this is my best practice how i give the names to tns entry
db_unique_name_DGMGRL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(SDU = 32767)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = port))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
Define same way in both primary and standby db.
Now use these tns entries to create configuration.
e.g.
create configuration prim_db as primary database is db_unique_name connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL";
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from primary tns entry
add database stdby_db as connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL" MAINTAINED AS PHYSICAL;
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from standby db tns entry
hope this will help

How to migrate 11gr2 standby database from file system to ASM

Hi,
I have 11gR2 data guard setup of 2 node RAC primary and stand alone standby database.
Primary RAC uses ASM, and stand alone standby DB uses normal file system for data files and archive logs. I want to migrate the stand alone standby DB from file system to ASM.
If you have any ideas or documents on it, kindly please share with me.
Thanks in advance,
Mahipal

Hi Fran,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I have another question, I want to have standby in ASM; but ASM home is grid home(CRS+ASM) in 11gr2.
I don't want to configure CRS now for standby, only want to have ASM storage. s it possible to install the grid home only for ASM and not for CRS?
On a stand-alone system, there are still CRS/Grid components that are a part of the ASM install. You cannot NOT install it.

Thanks,
