Create a physical standby for Rac on Windows and raw devices

Hi buddies:
I need to create a Physical standby database for a 2 node RAC cluster on Windows, that is using RAW devices.
Can someone of you suggest me a note to follow in order to achive this, i can not find to much information about how to do this.
I guess that the best option would be to use RMAN to do this, but as i said before i havent found too much information.
I would really appreciate your help.
Kind regards
MQ

In this case the standby should be created as a single instance on regular files.
Do i have to specify something different in the duplicate rman command to specify that the standby database will be a single instance?
Thanks for your help

Configuring Non RAC physical standby fro RAC

Hi,
EBS-R12i , Oracle Database:11g
We are in project design phase and following is the hardware setup for Critical banking domain:
Database (2 node RAC)-Solaris 10
Application server server (2 server) -Solaris 10
Web server (2 server for Failover)= RHEL
For DR
Database (1 node)-Solaris 10
need to know
1.What are the best practice to implement this kind of setup and steps to configure DR as Non-RAC physical standby for RAC database server.
2.What are implication if we go for single node except failover node unavailability for DR.
3.What are the steps of Switchover in this case.
4.What's the recommended backup solution for this setup of 8-10 Terabyte database with db growth rate of 50% per year.

1.What are the best practice to implement this kind of setup and steps to configure DR as Non-RAC physical standby for RAC database server.There really aren't any differences in setting up your physical standby in a non-RAC configuration. It is after the physical standby is setup that it is converted to a clustered database, if desired. In your case, you do not desire the conversion.
The best place to start for best practices in setting up your physical standby is the Oracle documentation on the subject.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17022/toc.htm
2.What are implication if we go for single node except failover node unavailability for DR.The major implications are that you will be running with less horsepower after a failover. So depending on your DR resources, you may have to scale back application access. In addition to less resources, you will also have less availability because you only have one node. Should that node then fail, you will not have a node to failover to.
3.What are the steps of Switchover in this case.The steps are identical if the physical standby is a single node or multiple nodes. These steps are outlined in the Oracle documentation.
4.What's the recommended backup solution for this setup of 8-10 Terabyte database with db growth rate of 50% per year.What are your recovery requirements? Without knowing your recovery requirements, a valid backup solution cannot be determined. How much data loss can you afford in the event of a failure? Do you have data that can be read only? In the event of a failure, how long before you are required to be up and running? Are you required to restore and recover at an offsite location?

Cascading physical standby from another physical standby for primary rac

my supplier told me that is possible mount a cascade physical standby from a physical standby for my rac installation.
but according the note "409013.1" seems not:
"Cascading a logical or physical standby database from a physical standby database is supported as long as the primary database is not a RAC database and is not part of a Data Guard Broker configuration - the support status of this configuration is unchanged from previous documentation."
before was possible? do you know why not now?
has anyone mounted? can I allow my provider to mount?
oracle version: 10.2.0.2.0

Is it possible this scenario?YES

Clarification on creating a Physical Standby Database

I'm practicing with data guard with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on two Windows 2003 servers.
I'm in the process of creating a physical standby database by following the steps outlined in the guide http://www.filibeto.org/sun/lib/nonsun/oracle/10.2.0.1.0/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm
I've created the primary database and did a cold backup of all the datafiles and copied them to the standby server using OS commands. I've created a pfile from the spile in primary database and changed the needed parameters for the standby database.
What I don't understand is this statement I think is creating a control file for the standby database: SQL> ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/tamp/standby.ctl'
Exactly what I don't understand is what to do with this control file. I'm thinking that if I try to use it as the controlfile for the standby database, the standby database will refuse to open since the database name in the control file wont match the one the server expects.
I don't want to proceed until this becomes clear. So my question is what to do with the output of the above statement that seems to create a control file for the standby database.
Any help would be appreciated.

You're thinking wrong.
Please clarify the difference between db_name and
db_unique_name.
Db_unique_name needs to be identical for both primary
AND standby database.
If db_unique_name differs, you'll get errors.
Sybrand,
Perhaps, you meant DB_NAME has to be identical for both databases.
DB_NAME name has to be the same for both primary and physical standby database.
DB_UNIQUE_NAME should be unique for each database in the standby configuration.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i68626
If you configure Logical Standby Database, DB_NAME may be different.
For the original poster: Chapter 3 - Creating a Physical Standby Database of Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration has all the steps you have to do in order to configure a physical standby 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.

Problem with data guard Creating a Physical Standby Database turorial

There is a tutorial of Creating a data guard Physical Standby Database:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/ha/dataguard/physstby/physstdby.htm
I tried to install it on two servers. One for primary database second for physical standby.
I have error on C. Creating the standby database over the network, action #6:
"On the standby system, set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to your <physical standby SID> (i.e. orclsby1) and start the instance in NOMOUNT mode with the text initialization parameter file."
When I try to connect to idle instance there is an error pops up:
C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Thu May 21 16:28:10 2009

ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I'v checked listener and it is runned. There is no service for database because there is no database yet.
The question is did some one installed data guard configuration using this tutorial? Is there any errors in it? What should I do to finish this installation?

On Windhose for every instance a service must have been created using the oradim command.
Oracle tutorials are usually Unix-centric, as Windhose is an odd man out, so they don't discuss that bit.
'Kindly do the needful' and create the service prior to starting the instance in nomount mode
Hint: oradim is documented and has a help=y clause.
IIRC there is an option in database control (in the maintenance part) which automates everything.

Creating a Physical Standby Database using OEM GC

This Paper is about the creation of a physical Stanby Database using OEM GC.
You will see that there is really nothing to it and using the Data Guard Broker, performing a switchover is as easy as 1,2,3,.
BTW, this works in both OEM GC 10.2.0.5 and 11.1

Creating a Physical Standby Database

Hi,
I'm reading Oracle® Data Guard
Concepts and Administration
10g Release 2 (10.2)
B14239-04.
In 3.2 Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating a Physical Standby Database chapter it says :
3.2.1 Create a Backup Copy of the Primary Database Datafiles and recommend RMAN to do that.
And in
3.2.4 Copy Files from the Primary System to the Standby System
Use an operating system copy utility to copy the following binary files from the
primary system to the standby system:
■ Backup datafiles created in Section 3.2.1
Finally

sorry , I did not finish.
I continue
finally,
3.2.6 Start the Physical Standby Database
Step 1 Start the physical standby database.
On the standby database, issue the following SQL statement to start and mount the
database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
I wonder , how to transform RMAN backup files to data files ? It is not explained or it is not necessary ?
Many thanks.

Physical Standby -- Automate Startup under Windows

I've created a physical standby using 9i on Win2003. It's working fine, but it won't come up automatically when the machine reboots. I've used ORADIM to create the service, and I can see in the registry that ORA_<sid>_AUTOSTART is set to TRUE, but after the machine reboots I have to manually:
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
Apparently the problem is that the service is trying to open the database normally, not realizing that special commands need to be run to start a physical standby.
I want the whole standby site to come up and run properly when the machine reboots. How can I set this up?

Hi,
You may try the following:
modify the oracle service using oradim -edit starttype=service
place your sql commands in a sql file, wrap it with a batch file and ask your NT administrator to run(prepare a script) the batch file immediately after startup.
You sql file :
alter database mount standby database;
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
your batch file :
set oracle_sid=<sid_here>
sqlplus sys/pwd @SQLScript.sql

Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?

Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"? I have a hand condition at the moment that makes it painful to mouse the cursor over to the arrow and click it (for instance, in the sidebars for Finder or iTunes) to open or close a folder. If anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for this, I'd really appreciate it--thanks!

Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here. Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec. It's not lossless, but it is Master quality. Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.

Can't see what you are looking at.
You will need to describe what exactly you are talking about.
Meanwhile see Imposing Booklets or Duplex printing:
