"Add Standby Database" wizard licensing
there is a wizard in grid control known as "Add Standby Database" does it require licesning ?
apparently this is missing in the EM dbconsole...

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control provides access to the complete set of Data Guard 10.2 features. Limited monitoring-only Data Guard functionality is available in Enterprise Manager Database Control.It's not a licensing issue, it's an inherent limitation of dbcontrol. It (dbcontrol) works with a single database. To create/manage a DG setup, you have to be able to work with multiple databases, hence the only flavor of OEM that will do it is GC.

Add standby database to crs?
Hi,
I have te latest Oracle version 11.2.0.3.0.
I've created a physical standby database with OEM, when I reboot the servers the primary goes down and up automaticly, but the standby doesn't... I have to start this one up manually.
How can I add this standby database to the Oracle High availability Services to auto stop and start ?
BR
MarkHi,
Use the srvctl add database command with the following syntax:
srvctl add database -d db_unique_name -o oracle_home [-m domain_name]
[-n db_name] [-p spfile] [-s start_options] [-t stop_options]
[-r {PRIMARY | PHYSICAL_STANDBY | LOGICAL_STANDBY | SNAPSHOT_STANDBY}]

Creating Standby database in OEM 10g
DB = Oracle 10.2.0.4
OS = Solaris 10 Sparc
I am trying to create a physical standby database using the add standby database option within OEM 10g. This is something we have done numerous times before on 10g and 11g db's without a single issue, but for some reason, this time after selecting my RMAN backup location and staging area location , I am getting the following error when I click Next:
RMAN Backup Location - The specified RMAN backup is invalid. Could not identify controlfile from the backup
It is the latest backup (using RMAN catalog) from the previous evening and includes datafiles and control file.
Here is the output for List backup:

The only difference between creating a standby for this db and others we have created is that the file system the backups are stored on is on a non-global zone shared via nfs mount.
I know that when I try and share that filesystem with other servers I get the message:
share_nfs: Cannot share filesystems in non-global zones
If the /backup filesystem is not shared with any other servers would OEM be able to read from that NGZ? The filesystem is available to connect to using ssh from other locations, but not sure how OEM handles this part of the process.
Any advice would be great.
Regards,
JPThanks for the reply. I thought that is what I would need to do. However this link is very useful and could resolve the issue. I have yet to raise it with the system admin guys here yet but will do and will report back on outcome.

Looking to use DG Broker to create new standby database
Hello,
I'm looking for a good document that can help me to create another standby database on a new server.
I'm running Oracle 11.2 EE on Solaris 10.
We already have one standby database, but now, I want to create another standby database on another server, which ultimately I will make primary and then replace and destroy our current primary/standby databases.
Also, just for the heck of it, I tried to look in our DB Console, and the "Add standby database" is grey'd out.
Is this because I am only using DB Console, and not Grid?
But if that were the case, why would the option even be in DB Console, or perhaps is there a lmiitation to the number of standby databases you can manage with DB Console?1) Do not confuse Data Guard Broker and Enterprise Manager: DG Broker is mainly a background process (DMON) that can be controlled by EM or with DGMGRL on the command line
2) Only the Grid Control flavor of EM can manage Data Guard Configurations - regardless of the number of Primary or Standby Databases
3) DGMGRL cannot create a new Standby Database - Grid Control can
Kind regards

Add Standby Server in OEM Grid.
Hi,
I need to add Standby Database in Oracle EM Grid.. it is 11g Emgrid.. Standby database 11.2.0.3 is one server another one server is in 10g.. i need to add both server to EM Grid... We didn't configure Dataguard Broker.. is there any way to configure without dataguard broker. i have tried in Primary server on emgrid on availability page for add standby link.. but it's not accepting sys password for standby.... Please Give me solution.. We need Sync alert between Primary and Standby through EM Grid
Regards,
MadhanFrom your description I do not understand what you have (provide full version numbers not marketing labels for each one) and their operating systems. Also the full version of OEM Grid.
What edition do you have Standard or Enterprise?
Is the source database RAC or stand-alone?
Did you read any docs telling you how to configure the standby? Post a link so we know what you were trying to do.
And finally "it's not accepting" means what? That the server reboots? That it gives you an error message you didn't think important enough to post?
Here's what your post reads like to me:
I need to add a second car for my family .. it is a 2009 Honda. Standby car is a Subaru wagon. I need to have both. I didn't do anything with my insurance policy. I have tried to start the car but it doesn't start. Please give me a solution."
{code}
Which car? Is it out of gas or did you use the wrong key? How can we know if you don't tell us.
Please provide all of the information and we should be able to answer your question ... but for starters. Data Guard broker is only "required" for RAC clusters. -
I've received an alert from Enterprise manager saying "Disk Group DATA_SID requires rebalance because at least one disk
is low on space". My colleague who I would go to with this question is unavailable, so this is a learning opportunity
for me. So far google and Oracle documentation have provided lots of information, but nothing that answers my questions.
I've run the following query on both the primary and standby databases ASM instances:
select name, disk_number, sector_size,os_mb, total_mb, free_mb, redundancy from v$asm_disk;
On the primary I get 4810M Free space and 18431M Total Space
on the standby I get 1248M Free space and 18431M Total Space -- this is the one that complained via OEM
When I run the following query in the database instance:
select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 MB from dba_segments;
I get 3736.75M as a result.
My questions are:
1. Will OEM's suggestion to rebalance the disk actually help in this situation since the instance is set up with external redundancy?
2. If I've got 18G of space and only 3.7G of data, why is OEM complaining?
3. How can I reclaim what I presume is allocated but unused space in my problem disk group?
4. How can I determine what extra data the standby has that the primary doesn't since both have the same total space allocation, but different amounts of free space?Thank you for the reply. That link is very good.
We are an 11.1 version of our database. Linus is OEL 5.6.
So, looking at the portion of the link that refers to 'Add Standby database and Instances to the OCR' - If we use SRVCTL to give the STANDBY the role of ‘physical_standby’ and the start option of ‘mount’, what effect will that have if the STANDBY becomes our PRIMARY?
Would these database settings need to be modified manually with SRVCTL each time?
We understand why the instance is not starting when the node is rebooted, we are looking for a best practice of how this is implemented.
Thank you. -
Creaton of Standby database and dataguard broker
Hi Experts,
I am using Linux with Oracle version 11gR2. We have planned to create a physical standby database and also configure dataguard broker for the standby database.
Also, I've read the documents that active dataguard is a feature on 11g. Is it not possible on 10g ?
Can someone please provide me the steps to create the standby database and configure the dataguard broker.Hello;
A simple Data Broker setup would be :
On both Primary and Standby sites, change the initialization parameter in the spfile to enable the Data guard broker.
SQL> Alter system set dg_broker_start=True scope=both;
On the PRIMARY site, open the ‘cmd’ and start Command Line Interface (CLI) of the Dataguard Broker (DGMGRL).
/home/oracle:PRIMARY >dgmgrl
DGMGRL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@PRIMARY
Create broker configuration.
DGMGRL> create configuration ‘broker1’ as
primary database is 'PRIMARY'
connect identifier is primary;Configuration "?broker1?" created with primary database "PRIMARY"
DGMGRL>
(‘primary’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the PRIMARY database)
Add Standby Database to the above configuration.
DGMGRL> add database 'standby' as
connect identifier is 'STANDBY'
maintained as physical;
Database "standby" added
(‘to_standby’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the STANDBY database)
Now the configuration has been set up but it is still disabled. You can view the configuration by executing:
DGMGRL> show configuration
The next step is to ENABLE the configuration ‘broker1’.
DGMGRL> enable configuration;
Enabled.
Again view the configuration.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration - ?broker1?
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Databases:
PRIMARY - Primary database
standby - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
SUCCESSIn my humble opinion its a good idea to setup Data Guard without Broker and get the "feel" of it first.
Remember, once you setup Broker, you cannot use SQL to change your Data Guard setup.
Best Regards

Add Datafile in Logical Standby Database
Hi,
I have add one datafile in our primary RAC DB. We had logical standby database with file management is equal to manual. Both the primary RAC and logical standby db have the different storage structure. When the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";
Would appreciate if come to know the steps to add the datafile in this kind of environment. and how can i overcome from this problem now except skip transaction for that ddl.
Thanks in advance.
DewanWhen the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";Can you post the error message with the number.
From Manual..
8.3.1.2 Adding a Tablespace and a Datafile When STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT Is Set to MANUAL
The following example shows the steps required to add a new datafile to the primary and standby database when the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to MANUAL. You must set the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter to MANUAL when the standby datafiles reside on raw devices.
Add a new tablespace to the primary database:
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE new_ts DATAFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf'
2> SIZE 1m AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
Verify the new datafile was added to the primary database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
Perform the following steps to copy the tablespace to a remote standby location:
Place the new tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts OFFLINE;
Copy the new tablespace to a local temporary location using an operating system utility copy command. Copying the files to a temporary location will reduce the amount of time the tablespace must remain offline. The following example copies the tablespace using the UNIX cp command:
% cp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf
Place the new tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts ONLINE;
Copy the local copy of the tablespace to a remote standby location using an operating system utility command. The following example uses the UNIX rcp command:
%rcp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf standby_location
Archive the current online redo log file on the primary database so it will get transmitted to the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Use the following query to make sure that Redo Apply is running. If the MRP or MRP0 process is returned, Redo Apply is being performed.
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
Verify the datafile was added to the standby database after the archived redo log file was applied to the standby database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf -
Add a new datafile to the standby database
Hi,
i have a standby database in recovery managed mode.
Now i must add a new datafile on the production database and i would like
to know how i realized adding the new datafile on the stanby database.
is it right when i do the follow steps?
Before i add a datafile to the primary database,
cancel the recovery on the standby database.
-> add the new datafile on the primary database
after all archived redo logs have been applied, cancel managed recovery:
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
startup nomount
alter database mount standby database;than
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE '/oracle/DB1/db1_9/data9' as '/oracle/DB1/db1_9/data9';
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;Thanks8.4.1.1 Adding a Tablespace and a Datafile When STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT Is Set to AUTO
The following example shows the steps required to add a new datafile to the primary and standby databases when the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
Add a new tablespace to the primary database:
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE new_ts DATAFILE 't_db2.dbf'
2> SIZE 1m AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
Archive the current redo log so it will get copied to the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Verify that the new datafile was added to the primary database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/dbs/t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/dbs/t_db2.dbf
Verify that the new datafile was added to the standby database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/dbs/s2t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/dbs/s2t_db2.dbf
8.4.1.2 Adding a Tablespace and a Datafile When STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT Is Set to MANUAL

Copy the local copy of the tablespace to a remote standby location using an operating system utility command. The following example uses the UNIX rcp command:
%rcp s2t_db2.dbf standby_location
Archive the current redo log on the primary database so it will get copied to the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Use the following query to make sure that managed recovery is running. If the MRP or MRP0 process is returned, managed recovery is being performed.
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
Verify that the datafile was added to the standby database after the redo log was applied to the standby database.
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/dbs/s2t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/dbs/s2t_db2.dbf

Add new datafile to logical standby database but not in primary
Hi,
Is it ok to add a new datafile to the SYSAUX tablespace on the logical standby database but not on primary? We are running out of disk space on the partition where SYSAUX01.dbf resides so we want to add a new SYSAUX02.dbf in another partition which has space. but this will only be on the logical standby not on primary, there is still lots of space in primary. standby_file_management is MANUAL and this is LOGICAL STANDBY not PHYSICAL.
Is this possible or where there be any issues?
Thanks.Logical Standby can differ from Primary, it can have extra tablespaces, datafiles, tables, indexes, users ...

How to add datafile to standby database
Hi,
We have standby database on another site and we are using manual recovery. How to add datafile to standby database after datafile is added to primary database.
We are on Oracle 9i R2.
Please help.
Thanks in advanceHi,
When you recover the standby database after you added a datafile to the production, you will get an error that the file that needs recovery does not exist.
At this point you can connect to the standby and issue:
alter database create datafile '<original_name>' as '<new_name>';the new name is optional if the location of the files are the same.
After that, you can continue recovering the standby database.

Add temporary datafiles after creating standby database
I used data guard manager to create standby database and it went fine. Before finish, system pop up a window and says,
"The data guard configuration has been created in a disabled state. It must be enabled using the Enable option in the configuration menu. Pior to ebaling the configuration, please verify the following:
The Primary database contains temporary datafiles. The files will not be duplicated in the new standby database. You must manually recreate the temporary files on the standby node by adding them to their respective tablespaces in the standby database after creation process in complete."
The problem is, in the standby database, how do I add tempfile without open the standby database? the documentation is very unclear...Thanks for the reply and the useful link. I had followed the instructions when creating the standby database, although under database options there is a difference between the OEM version we are using and the version shown, whereby the 'RMAN backup location' option has been replaced with 'working directory location'.
Just found the following and am guessing this is the issue.
NFS mounts established within a zone are local to that zone. The mounts cannot be accessed from other zones, including the global zone.
I suspect I will need to copy the backup pieces onto the local server in order to create the standby database using OEM. Not something I was expecting to have to do as copying will take a long time due to the size of the backup, but unless anyone else can shed any light on the reason for the initial error
RMAN Backup Location - The specified RMAN backup is invalid. Could not identify controlfile from the backup
then I guess this is the only way forward.

License for RMAN catalog standby database ?
Hi
I am planning to to setup a RMAN catalog for a large business that they have many databases.
I know that RMAN catalog does not need a separate license.
Does anybody know that if I setup a standby database for the catalog then do I need a separate license or it can be implemented without any license requirement ?
Thanks
KamranIs it "yes" that you know the answer to the question ?
Is it "yes" that he needs a separate licence ?
Is it "yes" that it can be implemented without any licence requirement ?
Do you really think that your answer is helpful ? Or are you trying to be an irritant ?

Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard
Hi All,
Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
Thanks in advancePaul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement§ion=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
states, in part,
"Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate
