Creating standby database using data guard.

Current Env:
Oracle 11.2.0.1
ASM
Size 1.7T and growing.
I'm rebuilding a standby database and need to use rman because of a few factors. In the past, I did a file copy create a standby control file config init.ora and it always worked.
We have a database and had the stanby build; but someone issued a flashback and corrupted the standby database.
Because of the size 1.7T and growing and we are now using ASM.
My research is only showing building standby through rman using dupicate database command.
I would like to copy the cold backup to a external drive and ship it to the standby site where I'll do the restore. This is because of time and bandwith required to rebuild the standby will interfere with operaitions for the period the files are being copied.
So what would be the high level steps.
1) get the cold backup
2) create the standby control file
3) ship the data via corrier
4) restore the database
5) and this is where i'm not sure. recover the standby control file - but during the restore of the database the "normal" control file will open and perhaps do a checkpoint. therefore the standby controlfile will be usless.
6) recover the standby database.
Has anyone accomplished this?
As much specifics will be helpful. This system is operational and needs to be done right the first time.
thanks,
-Rob

Thank you.
1) I'm going to off load the cold backup to an external drive and have a courier take it to the DR site.
Why, we are replicating the SAN over to the DR site. When SAN replication backs up Oracle becomes non-responsive. Therefore; sending the data over the pipe is not an option for the standby rebuild. Yea' that's the easy way to do it. But this system is operational and critical to operations; so we will not risk saturating the pipe for any period of time. The pipe got saturated one time and it was not pretty.
2) I'm running the test in my lab to make sure I can create the standby database using the cold backup and rman.
3) In the past it was easy; I got a cold backup of the data files using the same ksh scripts that have been working for 20 years. Copy the files over to the standby site, and put it into managed recovery. This technique has been working fine sense Oracle 8i days. ASM through a huge monkey wrench in the ksh script backup and now I'm forced to use rman. Hey, I'm told it's an okay product but when it comes to backups I never get fancy; that just makes things more complicated. Okay I wont complain about asm anymore, i guess there is an advantage in there somewhere.

Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard

Hi All,
Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
Thanks in advance

Paul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement&section=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
states, in part,
"Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate

To create standby database using oracle 10g standared edition

my producation database is oracle 10G standard edition .Can i implement a oracle dataguard or standby database using standard edition licenses.if standby database is possiable in standard edition .what are the steps for creating a standby database using oracle 10g standard edition.

General answer is http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#BABJICBB.
For Data Guard you cannot :
- use instance parameters to automatically send archived redo logs
- use instance parameters to resolve archived redo logs gaps
- create a logical standby
- use SQL statements to do switchover / failover
- use Data Guard Broker.

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?

Create standby database using restore backup

Hi,
I am creating a standby database 11g using manual process of restoring a backup , but to no avail. I can not even restore the backup successfully.
This is the steps I followed (courtesy of ORACLE-BASE) ORACLE-BASE - Data Guard Physical Standby Setup in Oracle Database 11g Release 2
I am confused about these steps:
Copy the files from the primary to the standby server.
Copy Standby controlfile to all locations.
$ scp oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl
My question is, for the 2nd copy, do I need to shutdown the primary db? since control01.ctl is being updated all the time?
Can I not used the standby ctl (db11g_stbg.ctl) and copy it to /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl instead?
Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Hi,
You are created standby control file on primary and copied to standby side:
$ scp oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl
And now, in paramter files, you have CONTROL_FILES parameter as below :
control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl', '/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl'
it means you must copy controlfile IN standby side to second control file. Control files must be same.
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl
My question is, for the 2nd copy, do I need to shutdown the primary db? since control01.ctl is being updated all the time?
You not need shutdown priamry database, becuase you copied standby control file to standby side, and all operations goin in standby side.
Can I not used the standby ctl (db11g_stbg.ctl) and copy it to /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl instead?
Yes, you can use (db11g_stbg.ctl) standby controlfile

Difference between physical standby database and Data Guard

Hi guys,
Today I attended one interview. They asked me a difference between the Oracle Physical Standby database and Oracle Dataguard?
Upto my knowledge Oracle Physical Standby Database is one type of Standby Database can be configured using Oracle Databaguard Feature.
Can you people calrify me on this.
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

hello,
yes you are right upto some extent...here is para form oracle doc
Oracle Data Guard is the most effective and comprehensive
data availability, data protection, and disaster recovery solution
for enterprise databases. It provides the management, monitoring,
and automation software infrastructure to create and maintain one
or more synchronized standby databases to protect data from failures,
disasters, errors, and corruptions.
Data Guard standby databases can be located at remote disaster
recovery sites thousands of miles away from the production data center,
or they may be located in the same city, same campus,
or even in the same building. If the production database
becomes unavailable because of a planned or an unplanned outage,
Data Guard can switch any standby database to the production role,
thus minimizing downtime and preventing any data loss.oracle data guard is maximum availiblity solution which maintain physical standby databases and in case of failure of production can switch production role to and standby database.

Edited by: user9198889 on Jul 6, 2011 8:29 AMHave you restored from the recent backup?
validate the backup compeltion_time and then retry the operation, Are you restoring from tapes?yes its recent backup(last and only backup infact ) , the backup took couple of days to run..
the backup was executing using this command BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE TAG 'LEV1_BCKP_2011-06-27_11_54' PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT
there was no full backup so oracle must have taken full one and not incremental correct?
first logseq that was back's up is : 35818
primary uses local disk for its db and backup
standby that i am trying to create is on asm. i have copied backup to FRA and restored to +data its recovery that is failing now

Switchover of a manual standby database (no data guard)

Hi all,
I have a standby database .
I am using Oracle Standard Edition 10.2.0.4 / 10.2.0.5 so I have build a manual standby .
I am able to do a failover in the case something goes wrong; I was thinking if it is possible to do a manual switchover . and failback.
Do you thick that mounting the primary database and applying ALL archivelogs and online redolog to the standby database is enough ?
Do you think this is a supported operation?
How can I check the current scn of a mounted database? (v$database.current_scn shows 0 until the database is opened )
thnk you for every answer
Andrea

helter_skelter wrote:
hi,
You can see current_scn of standby database in v$database.current_scn. It is null only on primary database if it's in mount state.that's the problem: I am unable to mount both database and to check they have the same current_scn
not all changes are written to ARL so you can't recover standby database to exact the same SCN as primaryI thinks this is because the last changes are only recorder in online redolog, so I was thinking that a possible way to simulate a clean switchover could be as follow:
1 - shutdown immediate the primary database on server prod1
2 - shutdown abort the (manual) standby database on server dr2
3 - copy archivelog, controlfiles, tempfiles, onlinelogs from primary to the standby database
3 - copy controlfiles from standby database to primary database
4 - open the database on server dr2. It should open "read write" cleanly (mount + recover from archivelog + recover from onlinelog + open noresetlogs )
5 - mount the database on server prod1. It should mount as a physical standby database.
What do you think about it?
thanks,
andrea

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.

SID NAME FOR PRODUCTION & STANDBY DATABASE IN DATA GUARD

Hi all,
we are trying to implement Standby database (Physical) between two
sites. We have a specific question regarding this:
==> Can we have SID of both the Database SAME..? If not, why.?
-- We have two HOST & DB Details like this and would like to implement StandBy
Database:
Site-1:
Host OS: Solaris-10 3/05 SPARC
Host DB: Oracle10g R-2 10.2.0.2.0
Host DB1: IGFL
Site-2:
Host OS: Solaris-10 3/05 SPARC
Host DB: Oracle10g R-2 10.2.0.2.0
Host DB2: IGFL
Thanks & Regards,
Rishikesh

My 2 Cents:-
SID can be same.

Still need to do full backup after using data guard?

In our system, there is a physical standby database in data guard configuration. Is there still a need to do full backup and incremental backup?

Jackliusr wrote:

May be you can perform failover of your standby, in case there is no availability on primary database. Then do you think the standby system stability is same as primary and can give same performance?
standby location can be too far and this is only if in case of disaster.
Another case, lets suppose your standby is behind than primary for 4-5 days due to some issues. At the same time your production crashed then you may have chance to loose 4-5 days fo data. So recommended to have full backup always from primary database.
If you are checking stability of standby database daily and able to check your data by opening properly and you wont prefer to RMAN backup, Then it is fine. But it is highly recommended to have RMAN backup.
BTW, You can have RMAN full backup on standby, if you want to avoid resources to use on primary

Fatal NI connect error 12533, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=INPRDSB_XPT)(SERVER=dedicated)(CID=(PROGRAM=oracle)(HOST=indb50.oii.com)(USER=oracle))))

Tracing not turned on.
Tns error struct:
    ns main err code: 12533
    TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
    ns secondary err code: 0
    nt main err code: 0
    nt secondary err code: 0As we can see, address_list is empty.
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.
