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.

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.

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.

Questions regarding creating a physical standby database in 10gR2

I'm setting up a physical standby database in a test environment using two windows 2003 servers. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I'm not too clear on.

The next item I'm not sure about is after creating the control file for standby use.
One the primary server I created it using:
alter database create standby controlfile as 'sbcontrol01.ctl';
I copied the primary database pfile I had created earlier to the standby server, renamed it and edited it.
Initially I left the CONTROL_FILES= parameter pointing to the control01.ctl, control02.ctl and control03.ctl that I restored. But I was getting the error ORA-01665: control file is not a standby control file
So I copied the sbcontrol01.ctl to sbcontrol02 and sbcontrol03.ctl and pointed the CONTROL_FILES= parameter at them.
The error went away and the database came up. I still need to test it some more but wanted to see if what i did was correct or a fluke.
Edited by: tjohnson on Mar 23, 2009 2:26 PM

If in the primary I had control files named control01, control02 and control03 would I have been able to create a standby controlfile called control01.ctl or would I have had to name it something else like I did (sbcontrol01.ctl) and rename it to control01.ctl once I got it over to the standby database server?Suppose you have the primary database control file in C:\oracle\primary\control location with names control01.ctl and control02.ctl. Then also you can create a standby controlfile with control01.ctl and control02.ctl , but then the location to be created must be different.You can create it in C:\oracle\primary location and then transfer to the specified location mentioed in the pfile of the standby database and mount the standby database.
But saying this i would suggested to keep the name different from control01.ctl as far as naming conventions are followed.It might confuse someoe whether its a primary database controlfe or a standby database controlfile.Usally primary database controlfile are named control01.ctl , coltrol02.ctl etc and for standby many do prefer keeping standby01.ctl, standby02.ctl.Thats just for for understanding.

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

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.

Create ONLINE logfile in physical standby database

We have created a physical standby database with rman duplicate command on a remote server
"duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck"
When I see the standby server...Online logfiles are not created however its relevant entries are there in V$LOG and V$LOGFILE views.
I guess it is the default behaviour of duplicate command in RMAN and we can not specify LOGFILE clause when we create standby database.
Now the problem is we could not drop the online logfile on standby database since it's status is "CURRENT", "ACTIVE".
Since the ONLINE LOGFILE are not actually created , "ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP " command returns with error as it could not find the file in the server.
So How we can drop the current/active online logfile and add new ones in standby db?

I'm assuming you have physical standby. Here are step I did in the past.
1) create a backup control file
2) bring the database back using the "recreate control file" it the trace file BUT you need to remove or comment out the line that has the corrupt or missing redo log file. And don't forget to add the tempfile after you recreate the controlfile
example:
alter database backup controlfile to trace;
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "ORCL" NORESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100

GROUP 3 '/oracledata/orcl/redo03.log' SIZE 200M,
# GROUP 3 '/oracledata/orcl/redo03.log' SIZE 200M
-- STANDBY LOGFILE
-- GROUP 10 '/oracledata/orcl/redostdby04.log' SIZE 200M,

'/oracledata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf',
'/oracledata/orcl/users01.dbf'

If you just want to add the standby redo log then using this command.
alter database add standby logfile
'/<your_path>/redostdby01.log' size 200M reuse,

How to create physical standby database without dataguard

Hi,
Can anyone please help me how to create Physical Standby Database without dataguard. As i am using Oracle 10.2.0.1 Standard Edition for production databases.
Please find the specifications of my server :
Database : Oracle 10.2.0.1(Standard Edition)
Server : Linux 4.0(32 bit machine)
As we know that Dataguard cannot be created in Standard Edition as we dont have that option in this edition. So please help me how to create the physical standby database.
Thanks in advance.

SQL exception during creation of a physical standby database with EM

Version: EM Oracle 10.2.5 (agents running, repository running, primary db running, all targets visible and reachable with EM)
I try to create a physical standby database with the enterprise manager and each time the process is aborted with a SQL exception during the preparation of the job by the EM. I have added a part of the OMs log containing the error at the end of the excerpt.

I have set the agent perl script tracing to DEBUG, but can't find any reason, why the job preparation failed.
Has anyone an idea why the job cannot be prepared? Thanks in advance for investigation :-)

Problem in recover physical standby database(Data Guard) by rman

Hello to all
I have created a physical standby database ,I want make backup of it by rman and when I lose it's datafile I can restore it ,making backup and restore is fine but in recovery I encounter some problem
scenarios is follow
1- In rman I create a backup of standby database by this command:
backup database plus archivelog delete all input;
2- I run this comman in rman for recover standby database
run{
2> set until scn 1392701;
3> restore database;
4> recover database;
5> }
(1392701 is extracted from this query "SELECT MAX(NEXT_CHANGE#)+1 UNTIL_SCN FROM V$LOG_HISTORY LH,

hi
I myself have found the solution , when I recover the standby database
it do recovery but at the end of recovery it raise the error(RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1
seq 118 lowscn 1392700) but if I begain redo apply before open the database
and I wait till all redo apply process start and communication between the
standby database and the primary database start, then I can
open the standby database and no error will raise
but if befor restarting redo apply I open the database I'll recieve the
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sari/system01.dbf' error
thanks

HI CKPT,
Thanks for the reply. All the Archives from primary are transferred to the standby by RFS. Also i tried to register the log files manually even but it says already registered. They are no errors in the primary instance alert log file. Please find the log

How to open a "manual" Physical standby database in read/write mode

Hi,
I am running Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production Standard Edition on Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp ([email protected]) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3))
I've created a physical standby database, but since I am running Standard Edition, I am not using the DataGuard features. I use the rsync utility to copy over the archivelogs to the standby database, and I apply them periodically to the standby database.
The standby database is started this way :
startup nomount pfile='/u01/oradata/orcl/initorcl.stdby';
alter database mount standby database;
Everything runs perfectly fine, I can do "alter database open read only" and then I can do selects into tables to confirm that everything is up to date.
The thing is, if I shutdown immediate the database, then do just startup :
shutdown immediate;
startup;
The database opens with no error messages, but is still in read-only mode...
I read that the default behavior for a standby database is to open read-only, like I am experiencing, but I would like to know what is the right way to open it correctly in read-write mode (I understand that after that, my standby will not be standby anymore and that I will have to recreate my standby database).
Thanks,
Mat

Hello,
There're features which allows you to open a Standby database in Read/Write mode but for all I know
it needs Entreprise Edition.
In Enterprise Edition you can use Logical Standby database. More over, for Physical standby there's
a way by using flashback database so as to rolling backward the database and avoiding to recreate
the Standby.
In Standard Edition I'm afraid that you'll have to recreate your Standby database.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
