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!!!

  • Data Guard - Steps to install Physical standby database in an RHEL 5.6 x86

    HI Team,
    I need to install Physical standby database in a OS installed from factory with most basic packages. Please find the info in detail
    Standby Server :
    Database Version : 10g Release 2
    Operating System : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga) , RHEL 5.6 x86_64
    swartis.dc$ free -m
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 34158 33847 311 0 558 28367
    -/+ buffers/cache: 4921 29237
    Swap: 10001 63 9937
    - Things i need to validate in the PROD server. Eg : Are the prod db version & standby db version should be the same, Do the OS need to be same ............ETC
    - Basic Linux rpm required for standby server & any other pre-requisites required at standby server
    - Verify connectivity speed btw servers to decide log file size
    - Please give me more detailed steps , where i need to start the steps in installation of Physical standby database.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello again;
    Sorry for the Delay.
    To this question "Do i need to install 10.2.0.2.0 ORACLE_HOME & on top of it apply 10.2.0.3.0 patchset.?"
    Yes.
    All my Oracle 10 installs started with 10.2.0.1 and then I patched up from there. If I remember correctly 10.2.0.1 may bark on Red Hat 5.
    You can work around this by reviewing this file :
    /etc/redhat-releaseSave whatever is in there somewhere and replace it with :
    redhat-3After the install put back what was there and get rid of the "redhat-3".
    I extra RPM's I used were :
    rpm -ivh kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh  compat-libstdc++-33* libaio-devel*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel*.x86_64.rpm glibc-devel-2* gcc-4*.x86_64.rpm gcc-c++-4*.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-devel-4*.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers*.x86_64.rpm libgomp*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh  compat-libstdc++-33* libaio-devel*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh sysstat*I searched my Red Hat Disks before hand and ran the RPM commands as shown. Adjust as needed.
    To verify that the required packages have been installed on your system, run the following command :
    pm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" binutils \
    compat-libstdc++-33 elfutils-libelf elfutils-libelf-devel gcc gcc-c++ glibc \
    glibc-common glibc-devel-2.5 libaio libaio-devel libgcc libstdc++ libstdc++-devel \
    make sysstatThis document is for Oracle 11, but the OS part should be the same.
    http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/installing_oracle_11g_r2_64.html
    Currently I have 3 servers running both Oracle 10 and 11 ( In different homes ) using this OS.
    I have used Oracle 11 document with Oracle 10 also : ( Better once you are setup and a great standby recovery document )

  • Can streams and data guard run together

    I need to set up a staging database to run streams from.
    Can I use data guard from the production database to the staging database and
    streams on top of that?
    Has anyone done this?

    Correction:
    Data Guard Redo Apply can be used to provide high availability/disaster recovery for a Streams database. For best practices using Dataguard Redo Apply with Streams, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/MAA_WP_10gDataGuardRoleTransitionsStreams.pdf
    Data Guard SQL Apply cannot be used to provide high availability/disaster recovery for a Streams 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
    which discusses exactly what you are looking for.

  • Which user exit can be use before production order creating?

    which user exit can be use before production order creating?
    i want to check AFPO data,then show error message before production order creating.
    1.i try to use PPCO0001( enhancement when saving the order) to check AFPO data, then show some error message,sap system will generate a abap down error.
    2.i try to use PPCO0007(Exit when saving production order),
    i can show error message,but i can't check AFPO's data.

    Hi,
    You can access AFPOD structure using field symbols.
    Try below mentioned code in routing:
    constants: c_afpod TYPE char30 VALUE '(SAPLCOKO1)AFPOD' .
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_afpod> TYPE ANY .
    data: wa_afpod TYPE afpod.
    ASSIGN (c_afpod) TO <fs_afpod>.
    wa_afpod = <fs_afpod>.
    Then later you can use wa_afpod in exit PPCO0007. Hope this will work for you.

  • How to setup a remote recovery process - Not using Data Guard?

    Hello -
    Has anyone (or can send me some links) set up recovery at a remote site - and not used Data Guard? For example, shipped off logs via FTP, applied the logs, and kep the DB in recovery mode?
    Thanks!

    Mlike,
    This manual procedure is described in the Dataguard Concepts manual for 10gR2, hopefully is this your unmentioned version (BTW what happens if you do type your version? Does your boss beats you up for doing that?). I don't know why someone wants to replace something robust by something unreliable by default, using FTP. Not only unreliable, also unsecure!

  • Can I use the iPad to create video of notetaking with audio?

    I'm looking to use iBook Author to create some units of study for my students.  I want to create a video that is just of my notes (not of my hand writing the notes) and an audio of me explaining what I'm doing while I'm writing the notes.  Is there a way to use the iPad for this, or is there a program or an app that I could use for this?  I also have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone in addition to my iPad.
    Edited to add: What I'm thinking of is somewhat like the Khan Academy uses to teach students in their videos.  It's just their writing with audio, but it's not a video of them writing, which makes me think that there's some app or software they're using to show the notetaking that records audio and turns it into a video.

    Screenchomp is a good app that we use at a school for this - its owned by Techsmith, the same company that owns Jing and Camtasia, two leaders in the market. Two other options to look at (which I preferred to Screenchomp) are ShowMe and Educreations.
    If you're just looking at a co Peter based solution for the MacBook,mid recommend screencast-o-matic.

  • [svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

    Revision: 3148

    Log Message:
    You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
    SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

  • I can't use my apple id ,stuck at review payment there is no None option for payment

    when i login it says your account is not reviewed at stores ,when i click review my account its asking for payment method i dont want to give my card details
    i can't use my apple id ,stuck at review payment there is no None option for payment .

    Hi!
    I'm stuck with similar problem.. I recently started using apple products and because I mostly use my macbook for writing, I didn't use iTunes. One day I managed to get FaceTime to chat with friends and therfore I had to create an apple id. Everything went smoothly until I tried to use iTunes Store with my iPod. iTunes asks me to review my account and although it is fully functional I cannot change any detail because I don't own a credit card, and therfore cannot get any free app!
    What is funny, when it comes to creating an account through iTunes, there is an option 'None' in Credit Card section. When I try to do the same using my existing account it simply doesnt't let me do this.
    I need a solution to set it properly or an option to permanently delete existing account and recreate it using iTunes. Using another email account is not an option e.g. creating another account must be done with the same email as the one I used for the current account.
    I was looking for an answer but with no luck. Apple submitted great tutorials for creating accounts but didn't supply users with answers for problems like mine(which apparently is very common!).
    If there is anyone from Apple reading such posts, I'd be happy to see a solution for this problem.
    Thanks
