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?

    Can you please confirm if the directory E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\AIRPRIM is existing on standby box and rman can write to that location (free space & permissions)
    If the issue is still present provide us the control_files parameter from standby..

    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

  • Creation of Logical Standby Database Using RMAN ACTIVE DATABASE COMMAND

    Hi All,
    I am in confusion how to create logical standby database from primary database using rman active database command.
    What i did:-
    Create primary database on machine 1 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2
    Create standby database on machine 2 on RHEL 5 With Oracle 11gR2 from primary using RMAN active database command
    Trying to create logical standby database on machine 3 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2 using RMAN active database command from primary.
    The point which confuse me is to start the logical standby in nomount mode on machine 3 with which pfile like i create the pfile for standby database do i need to create the pfile for logical standby db.
    I done the creation of logical standby database by converting physical standby to logical standby database
    I am following the below mentioned doc for the same:
    Creating a physical and a logical standby database in a DR environment | Chen Guang's Blog
    Kindly guide me how to work over the same or please provide me the steps of the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply
    I already started the logical standby database with pfile in nomount mode. And successfully completed the duplication of database. by mentioning the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter.
    But i am not able to receive the logs on the above mentioned blog i run the sql command to check the logs but getting "no rows selected"
    My primary database pfile is:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    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.

  • Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

    Hi All
    I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.
    Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
    Database Version - Oracle 11R2
    I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
    Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
    1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
    2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
    On Primary Database:
    *.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
    *.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
    Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
    *.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
    *.db_name='orcl1102'
    *.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/fra_stdby/STDBY_11/archivelog
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=orcl11020 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
    db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
    3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
    4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
    5.Create standby controlfile with rman
    While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
    $>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
    RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
    6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
    $>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
    $>export ORACLE_SID
    $>sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
    SQL>quit
    $> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
    RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
    RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
    Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
    Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
    and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
    and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
    returning error ORA-16191

    So on both primary and standby I confirmed
    SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
    To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
    Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
    Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

    Not sure if I understood it clearly.
    SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
    returns no rows so there is no gap.
    But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
    SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
    SEQUENCE# APPLIED
    75 NO
    74 NO
    76 NO
    77 NO
    I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
    On primary when I give your query -
    SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
    2 FROM v$archived_log
    3 where dest_id=2
    4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;

    I have intentionally given
    sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
    because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
    So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
    Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
    Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
    I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
    Thanks for your help again

  • Standby Database with RMAN on ASM

    Hi,
    I am using redhat Linux AS 4 and my database is 10.2.0.1. This database used ASM for storage of data files, control files, online redo logs. Flash recovery area is also configured in the ASM.
    I want to create a physical standby database on a different machine by using RMAN. Can someone kindly point me to some easy to follow document? I have scoured the oracle docs, but am more confused than ever.
    regards

    Step By Step Guide To Create Physical Standby Database Using RMAN [ID 469493.1]
    Note: the examples in this document use regular filesystems but the process is the same regardless, ie, in db_file_name_convert use your diskgroup rather than a filesystem (db_file_name_convert=+DG_SOURCE,+DG_TARGET)
    another note to complement the first one:
