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

Error while creating physical standby database using Oracle Grid 10.2.0.5

Hi All,
I am setting up data guard using oracle grid.
Primary database version: - 10.2.0.4
Standby database version: - 10.2.0.4
Primary OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)2.6.9
Standby OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)2.6.9
I am creating physical standby database using EM. But it is getting failed with error message in sqlnet.ora file
Fatal NI connect error 12533, connecting to:

Can anyone suggest what could be the reason behind this?

Dear user13295317,
Here is the error explanation;
Oracle Error :: TNS-12533
TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause
An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
In some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action
Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.Hope That Helps.

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.

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.
Dula

>
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

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. I've been thru the data guard manual and as much online information as i can find. I may have it working but wanted to post some things I'm not sure I did quite right.
My tnsnames.ora files.
On my primary database server:

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
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.

Problem while creating Physical standby database on remote Server

Hi
I try to create a physical standby datbaase using OEM 10gr2, it is working when I create on same server. No issue but when I try to create same on remote server it is giving below warning and process failing. Please let me know what needs to be down in this senario...
It is showing redo log information in v$log and v$log_file but not creating physically on PHYSICAL Standby instance..
I appriciate your help and ur time too..

Well, it is simply warning that "Creating a physical
standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary
database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
datafile pathnames.
NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures
describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames"
For instance, the path for the logfile name in "ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl5.f' SIZE 52428800" may need to be changed manually. It is advisable to check the mentioned documentation.

Creating Standby database in OEM 10g

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.

JP

Thanks 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.

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
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 292
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 '/oracledata/orcl/redo01.log' SIZE 200M,
GROUP 2 '/oracledata/orcl/redo02.log' SIZE 200M,
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,
-- GROUP 11 '/oracledata/orcl/redostdby05.log' SIZE 200M
DATAFILE
'/oracledata/orcl/system01.dbf',
'/oracledata/orcl/undotbs01.dbf',
'/oracledata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf',
'/oracledata/orcl/users01.dbf'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
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,

[on primary]
step-1 check if archiving is enable
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            /PGHProdDB/archive/paceview/
Oldest online log sequence     52
Next log sequence to archive   54
Current log sequence           54
step-2
sqlplus> ALTER DATABASE force logging;step-3
connect to rman
take an full backup
RMAN RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
step-4
now copying initpfile,pwdfile on appropriate destination and rename it.
step 5
now create listener on standby db side::
and restart it by ----
lsnrctl reload
and login to primary db and register listener information in tnsfile.ora---
standby=
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.13)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = standby)Step 6 Startup the standby
SQL> startup nomount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/admin/PRIMARY/pfile/init.ora';step 7
though our primary db is ready to connect with standby db
[oracle@PGH-DB ~]$ rman target / auxiliary sys/tiger@standby
Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon Aug 6 12:16:08 2012

connected to target database: primary (DBID=2092349485)
connected to auxiliary database (not started)
RMAN> run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
}When this completes
Make sure you shutdown the database and then switch the ORACLE_SID=STANDBY
when you perform that much let me know :)
