Can I monitor an 8i Standby Database with OEM 10gR3?

I have added the target for an 8i instance and its physical standby. The primary looks fine but the standby shows down and reports the following message:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
I also notice that OEM doesn't display the type as "Database Instance:
Primary or Physical Standby" like the 9i and 10g ones we have. I have searched this forum, Metalink and the Doc library for the answer with no luck. Do you know if this is a support configuration and if so what I need to do to get it working?
Thanks.

Think grid supports 8.1.7.4 and above, check metalink for exact support details.
Have you configed the agent properly? For standby databases you need to set up the connect with sys as sysdba rather than dbsnmp.
Go to setup ---> agents
Click on the relevant agent
Select the standby database and click on configure
Edit the connection type to sysdba FIRST
then you can change the user to sys
Good luck

  • SQL exception during creation of a physical standby database with EM

  • Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure

    Hello gurus,
    I am self-learning the feature Oracle Data Guard, so I am testing it on Oracle 10g R2.
    At Oracle documentation there is a section F.4.: Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure*, that explains how to create a standby database with RMAN but there is something that I don´t understand:
    In the standby server, I created a database with the SID equal to production database* with the objetive to have the same directory structure, but when I try to startup nomount the standby database with pfile appear this expected error:
    ORA-16187: LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG contains duplicate, conflicting or invalid attributes
    So my question is: Is possible have the Same Directory Structure on both: Production and StandBy server?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Uwe and mseberg: thanks for your quick answers
    I have a doubt: How can you have the same directory structure if you have differents SIDs?, for example if you follow the OFA suggestions you would must have:
    On Production server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/system.dbf*
    On StandBy server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/system.dbf*
    Or you created the directory structure manually on StandBy server? For example replacing the string STANDBY* to PRIMARY* before create the database using dbca.
    Do you understand my doubt? Excuse me for my english.
    Thanks.

  • Logical Standby Database with 10g+ASM on both sides??

    Hi out there,
    is there a known way to establish a logical standby database on 10g, if both
    sides are running with an ASM setup?
    I've tried to create one out of a physical standby database (which is set up
    and running w/o any problems), like a book suggested me to do.
    The procedure was:
    1. switch on supplemental logging
    2. prepare initiation parameters (for archive logging etc.) on both sides for
    logical stb.
    3. shut down the phyiscal standby
    4. alter database create logical standby controlfile as '<path>'; on the
    primary, transfer the controlfile to the standby db. Here I had to use RMAN
    to copy the controlfile into the ASM System, and modify the initfile/spfile
    in order to use the controlfile. No problem so far.
    5. mount the standby database, alter database recover managed standby database
    disconnect; -> At this point, the alert log complained about non-available
    datafiles.
    6. alter database activate standby database; --> fails ("needs recovery") due
    to last point.
    The trouble is, the controlfile created at point 4 cointains wrong paths to
    the datafiles. Since I can not have the same disk group name on the standby
    system, and since ASM renames the stored datafiles by its own, the complaints
    of point 5 are comprehensible, but nevertheless annoying.
    I tried to backup a controlfile to trace and change the paths, but at after
    mounting the standby with this controlfile and proceeding at point 5, the
    system says "<path> is not a standby controlfile"
    Is there a different way of creating a "Logical Standby Database with 10g+ASM
    on both sides"? Metalink said nothing about LogStby and ASM.
    Best regards and thanks in advance,
    Martin

    I'm not sure if this will work but try:
    1. create trace control file (you did it)
    2. change paths (you did it)
    3. recrate control file (you did it)
    ... there was error occured during mount before
    so mount database (not as standby)
    4. create standby control file (from recreated control file)
    5. shutdown instance, replace control file with new standby control file or replace the control filename in parameter file.
    6. mount as standby
    What happend?
    Update: Tested on my side and it has worked fine... How about you?

  • Standby Database with Standard Edition

    Hi All,
    I'm attempting to setup a Standby database with Oracle 10g Standard Edition. I must manually copy over the archive logs to my Standby database server because i'm using Standard Edition.
    Once my primary database archive logs have been copied over to the standby location shouldn't the database automatically apply those archive logs? I have issued the "alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session" so my understanding is that it is in recovery mode and shoudl be finding the archive logs to apply. Can anyone confirm that this configuration should work with Standard Edition and perhaps point me in the right direction, which parameters in the init file to check, to get my standby database to apply these archive logs automatically.
    Thanks,

    To quickly determine the level of synchronization for the standby database, issue the following query on the physical standby database:
    SQL> SELECT ARCHIVED_THREAD#, ARCHIVED_SEQ#, APPLIED_THREAD#, APPLIED_SEQ#
    2> FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS;
    ARCHIVED_THREAD# ARCHIVED_SEQ# APPLIED_THREAD# APPLIED_SEQ#

  • Monitoring Physical standby database through OEM

    HI ,
    We are monitoring Physical standby database through OEM and we monitor from console using SYS user
    As per our company policy we change our sys password every month so after change it we need to change SYS password from console also
    so is any way we can change SYS password on console using command line utility? if yes then please give us the command
    Thanks

    we monitor from console using SYS userYou have to monitor it using a SYSDBA user not necessarily SYS. So you can create a user e.g. SYS_MONITOR which has different policy than SYS. Although it is best to change that password on regular bases too, maybe every 3 months.
    so is any way we can change SYS password on console using command line utility?I don't get your question. Are you asking if it is possible to change the monitoring username/password using some command line utility? If so, I haven't heard of such tool. But there could be a package like MGMT_TARGET which you can manipulate the credentials if you know how to use it.

  • Can I rename a physical Standby database without having to recreate?

    Hi all,
    One of my DBA's created a new standby database yesterday. He was supposed to create the standby database with a unique name from the primary system, but he didn't. So right now, DataGuard is running and replicating, and the standby has the exact same database name as primary.
    I'd like to get this configured the way we had planned, to rename the standby database to something unique. I see Metalink Doc ID 15390.1, showing how to rename a database, but I'm not sure if this is possible in the standby environment? Has anyone ever done this? Anything different that needs to be accounted for, in the physical standby DB?
    I'm on 10.2.0.3, on Windows 2003.
    Any help/advice is appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Dear TheBlakester,
    You have to write it on the spfile and bounce the database. You should also have to change the log_archive_config parameter with the new standby db_unique_name.
    From the online Oracle documentation;
    For example, if the DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameter has not been defined on either database, the following SQL statements might be used to assign a unique name to each database.
    Execute this SQL statement on the primary database:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='CHICAGO' SCOPE=SPFILE;
    Execute this SQL statement on the standby database:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='BOSTON' SCOPE=SPFILE;
    Step 4   Verify that the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG database initialization parameter has been defined on the primary and standby database and that its value includes a DG_CONFIG list that includes the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the primary and standby database.
    For example, if the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter has not been defined on either database, the following SQL statement could be executed on each database to configure the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET
      2> LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(CHICAGO,BOSTON)';After than that it is better for you to check following items just in case;
    v$archived_log
    v$dataguard_status
    Data Guard log file & Alert.log file.Hope That Helps.

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

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

    tell us what your research shows and we'll try to

The value for the GLOBAL_DBNAME attribute must be set to a concatenation of db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain. For example, in the LISTENER.ORA file:
