Creating standby database through Grid Control.

Hi,
I want to know if source database which we term as primary database goes down during Db creation process when given option of "Perform a live backup of primary database" during Add standby wizard in Grid Control. Please let me know if people have already tested it in their environments.
I appreciate you all for looking into my forum.
Regards,
Gaurav

No, one of the options for performing this task is to create from a Live db.
A couple of things to note here:
You must be using spfile
If you are not using the default port of 1521 then you must also have the local_listener parm set
I recommend using the "db_unique_name" option to make it easier to manager in OEM (for the target name)
Hope this helps,
Landon

Error while setting up Standby database using Grid Control

I am getting this on grid control 10.2 on windows env while creating standby database using EM. I have checked this folder and it does exists.
any ideas?

Creating Standby database using Cloud Control 12C

Hi,
I want to setup Standby database for my existing RAC database, Both standby and PRimary databases are on 11.2.0.3 and we are using "Cloud Control 12C".
After specifing and testing the Host creddential and Database credentials and choosing the Backup method when I click next I get following error message
"Username- The Specified user must own the source database oracle server installation."
I am giving the host credential as oracle, we use single os user "Oracle" for all our installation and administration.
This is AIX OS and 11.2.0.3 database installation.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Bhushan

Guys,
After searching for 2 days on web and raising question on OTN, in the last we resolved the issue. The issue was registering the primary database with correct oracle binaries.
We have 2 set of binaries Oracle Infrastructure and Oracle RDBMS, The database was register in 12C with Oracle Infrastructure binaries. I changed that and every thing is working soomth.

Creating physical standby db through grid control 11g fails with "default listener is not running"

On step 4/6, i am getting error like below
ErrorExamine and correct the following error(s), then re-try the operation.Default Listener in Grid Infrastructure - The default listener in the grid infrastucture is not running.
I have the listener running on grid user and grid home, 11.2 in both primary and standby.
During these steps till 4, its no where asked for grid user password.
Not sure how it will detect the grid home listener.
Listener is running with default port 1521 on both the servers primary and standby
On the step 4 screen the other option for default listener is non-default listener and its pointing to db home and not grid home.
So i guess oracle is looking for the listener to be up on the db home and not on grid home causing the issues,
if so how to fix this ?
I am using role separation, separate user for grid and oracle homes grid and oracle user and all are on 11.2.0.1 db + grid

Hello again;
Check the solution in this: ( and note the multiple versions of oracle it covers )

How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

Hi
Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
Thanks

It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.

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.

The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database

The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database:(I want to create a physical standby database on the same system of the primary database)
1. Should I copy all the backup datafiles, standby controlfile and password file to a same directory before the first time to mount the standby database?
2. Before mounting the standby database, Should I change the datafile's name to a new one in the standby controlfile? How to change them?
3. When issuing the command to mount the standby database, should I specify the controlfile's name.(using which controlfile to mount)
These problems are not clearly secified in Oracle documentations.

Can you point us to the Windows specific documentation you refer to?
The parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT should take care of the new mapping for your datafiles (and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for logs), so you should be able to put them where you want and use the parameter to point Oracle to the correct location. You should not need to change the name in the controlfile.
Place your standby controlfiles where you have the control files defined in your parameter file and Oracle should recofgnise that it is a standby db. You should not need to specify which controlfiles to use (if this is even possible), your CONTROL_FILES init parameter points to them.
Not sure about the password file....my instances are on separate boxes and the password file has the same name on both primary and standby.

Installing Oracle Agent through Grid Control!

Hi,
Can we install oracle agent on Solaris through Grid control which is located on Linux?
Thanks
Azam

before you can use the agents (the deployment will succeed) you need to apply 2 patches on OMS home.
Check metalink note: How to Deploy the Latest Database Plugin to the OMS and the Agent in 12C Cloud Control [ID 1388143.1]
it explains how you can apply the prerequisite patches and deploy the agents for Solaris and AIX (the current available agents).

Creating standby database using RMAN

When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
have to be accessible from host where standby database
is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
Thanks a lot for advice,
M.

OK, thanks,
I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
database instance is running on the host where I want
to create standby database. The running instance is for
testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
parameters as in primary database.
I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
database I can specify distinct one for standby database?

Error while creating standby database for ebs prod database

Hi,
We are getting error while trying to create a standby database for EBS database by using RMAN DUPLICATE commands,
Steps followed:
1.) Backup the primary database (Ebs PROD db). This was done on 12-Mar-2012
***RMAN backups are scheduled to run @10:00 pm every night. Flash Recovery Area has been configured and backup is taken at this location
everyday.
2.) Tar the backupset, autobackup, archivelogs etc in FRA .... and copy this to the target server (STANDBY).
*** Copy(oracle rdbms binaries and FRA) completed @12:00AM on 14-Mar-2012
3.) Tried to create standby database by using RMAN duplicate on 14-Mar-2012
RMAN> rman sys/sys@PROD auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
After, some time the RMAN DUPLICATE process errors out with,
ORA-19563: header validation failed for file
We are not sure about the cause of this error. While searching in Metalink, we got several notes (ex, 352074.1) but all the causes stated for this error
are not applicable in our case. We double checked our instance to confirm this.
We have also found that in PROD database there are 65 datafiles and after the RMAN DUPLICATE errors out in the targer server (STANDBY) the RMAN managed to restore 51 datafiles before erroring out.
# Please note PROD database was also backed up on 13-Mar-2012. We have a suspicion that backup on 13-Mar may be a possible cause for this error but we are
not sure.
Need suggestions if there can be any other possible causes???
We are in a fix and it would be appreciable if we get some quick suggestions..
Regards,
Rupdipt
Edited by: orarup on Mar 14, 2012 12:29 AM

When opening the file to be placed in a copy or backup set, to be inspected, or used as the target for an incremental restore, its header was not recognized as a valid file header for a file of the indicated type (data file, archived log, or control file) belonging to the current database.
Kindly Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.

Unable to connect to Database using Grid Control

Hi,
I am attempting to connect to my Oracle Linux Machine which has 2 databases FROM my 10g Grid control which is on a Windows XP 32 bit.
Although I can login to the actual linux box with the host and database credentials ; I cant use the same to login to the database using Grid control.
I have tried testing the connection using Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Host ; but its just not recognizing the credentials as correct.
When I attempt to startup the database using the host and DB credentials : ERROR MESSAGE : <servername> : <servername> comes up.
My agent on linux box is up. My Listener is running fine.
On my Grid control .. i have the DB, OMS, and Agent running as well.
Any inputs on this issue, I'd appreciate very much.

Thanks for your reply.
Under Hosts on the Main Grid Console Home Page >> "server3.sam" Status shows UP. This server houses my 2 databases. But when I click on Databases >> it shows Instance DOWN.
Status
Failed
Details Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
I have verified that my lsnrctl status is good on the linux box. My target agent is up and running on it as well.
So I try to start the STARTUP button >> I enter the HOST Credentials of the Linux box and the Database credentials which I use "SYS" (in upper case - just in case that mattered) and choose SYSDBA ;
Error Message
server3.sam: server3.sam
I created a new dba account and try to login ... dont seem to work ; I tried using SYSTEM account and even altering my sys and system passwords .. all turn out negative.
And the ANSWER to your question ---> Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Database Instance >> corresponding to my database name ; I enter my sysdba username / password AND the host username / password of my Linux box >> TEST >> which also turns out negative.
This entry is auto filled in since I "checked" the box "Save as Preferred Credential"; initially when I tried to start the DB using the STARTUP button.
By the way, my Win XP doesnt really have a password set under User accounts.
Any suggestions please ?

Monitor Linux Services through grid control 10g

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to monitor a linux service like samba/nfs/cups through grid control 10g. I mean if it could monitor status of these services and send a down alert if they re not running. I have large farm of linux servers being monitored by grid and most of them run these services so i was looking towards monitoring them through grid.
Let me know any ideas to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
Rohan

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply. I am new to GC. I cant find a setting while creating new metrics in grid to monitor a Linux service. Can you tell steps in brief to do this, or else is there any guide i can follow to create a plugin for grid control to discover a new type of target.
Thanks,
Rohan
