Data Guard Broker configuration in oracle10g r2

Hi,
I am facing difficulties while configuring data guard broker. Our setup is RAC primary and single standby database. Show configuration is raising the following error...
ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
on dcSTANDBY.log file it shows below messages....
NSV0: Failed to connect to remote database ajmprod. Error is ORA-12545
NSV0: Failed to send message to site ajmprod. Error code is ORA-12545.
I have checked listener.ora and tnsnames.ora are fine. It's fine with tnsping and sqlplus conection. I am confused where is the problem.
Aprreciate your suggestions.

Here is how I would look into this issue.
1. check the password file is setup for both and the password is common between them and matches the password of the sys user in the database.
2. check that listener(s) are up and running and status checks out.
3. check that you hosts file or DNS sees this hosts, you can check this with a ping command do from each host to the other
4. check that tnsnames.ora has the proper connect setup for both instances in you data guard configuration.
5. check tnsping to both instances from both hosts.
6. check all TNS connectivity to both instances using the SYS as sysdba, Use the TNS sqlplus sys@db as sysdba. Do this connection from both hosts if using more then one host.
If you have verified all this and it is still not working let me know and we can move on to next steps.

  • Error: ORA-16532: Data Guard broker configuration does not exist

    Hi there folks. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
    Anyways, we have a 10.2.0.4 rac primary and a 10.2.0.4 standby physical standby. We recently did a switchover and the dgbroker files automatically got created in the Oracle_home/dbs location of the primary. Now need to move these files to the common ASM DG. For this, I followd the steps from this doc:
    How To Move Dataguard Broker Configuration File On ASM Filesystem (Doc ID 839794.1)
    The only exception to this case is that I have to do this on a Primary and not a standby so I am disabling and enabling the Primary(and not standby as mentioned in below steps)
    To rename the broker configuration files in STANDBY to FRA/MYSTD/broker1.dat and FRA/MYSTD/broker2.dat, Follow the below steps
    1. Disable the standby database from within the broker configuration
    DGMGRL> disable database MYSTD;
    2. Stop the broker on the standby
    SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = FALSE;
    3. Set the dg_broker_config_file1 & 2 parameters on the standby to the appropriate location required.
    SQL> alter system set dg_broker_config_file1 = '+FRA/MYSTD/broker1.dat';
    SQL> alter system set dg_broker_config_file2 = '+FRA/MYSTD/broker2.dat'
    4. Restart the broker on the standby
    SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = TRUE
    5. From the primary, enable the standby
    DGMGRL> enable database MYSTD;
    6. Broker configuration files will be created in the new ASM location.
    I did so but when I try to enable the Primary back I get this:
    Error: ORA-16532: Data Guard broker configuration does not exist
    Configuration details cannot be determined by DGMGRL
    Form this link,(Errors setting up DataGuard Broker it would seem that I would need to recreate the configuration....Is that correct ? If yes then how come Metalink is missing this info of recreating the configuration... OR is it that that scenario wouldnt be applicable in my case ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes I can confirm from the gv$spparameter view that the changes are effective for all 3 instances. From the alert log the alter system didnt throw u pany errros. I didnt restart the instances though since I dont have the approvals yet. But I dont think thats required.

  • Remove Data Guard Broker configuration file

    Hi,
    We have a data guard configuration running on Oracle 10g RAC (2 nodes) ASM. After failover, we rebuild the old primary as physical standby. But every time when enable the data guard broker, it created problems. So the best solution for us seems to completely remove the data guard broker configuration and recreate them. Here are our steps
    On both primary and standby
    1) alter system set DG_BROKER_START=FALSE
    2) shutdown database
    3) use asmcmd command to remove the broker directory under +DATA/dbname/DG_BROKER
    4) start the database
    5) alter system set DG_BROKER_START=TRUE
    6) go through the many steps to recreate data guard broker configuration
    I am just curious whether this is the right way and whether there is any simple way?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I saw same issue when doing switchover testing in my lab environment.prerequisite is primary role and standby role switched and og can be applied without data guard broker.
    Here is the step I resolved the issue
    1)on both primary and standby database
    SQL> alter system set dg_borker_start=false;
    on primary DB:
    SQL>alter system set dg_broker_config_file1='?/dbs/dr1afterswichoverpry.dat';
    SQL>alter system set dg_broker_config_file1='?/dbs/dr2afterswichoverpry.dat';
    on standby DB:
    SQL>alter system set dg_broker_config_file1='?/dbs/dr1afterswichoverstby.dat';
    SQL>alter system set dg_broker_config_file1='?/dbs/dr2afterswichoverstby.dat';
    2) enable dg_borker_start on both primay and sandbby db
    SQL> alter system set dg_borker_start=true;
    3)on primary database to create configuration
    Hope this can help you!

  • How to remove data guard broker configuration when  ORA-16625?

    I setup data guard broker for a standby database. However, we recreate the database and re-setup the standby database. But find the earlier broker configuration still exists.

    Thanks.

    Shutdown the listener and check for white spaces in the file. Try to restart it. If if fails review against my example below.
    Here is my working example:
    PRIMARY
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary.myserver.com)(PORT = 1521))

    (SID_DESC =
    (global_dbname = PRIMARY_DGMGRL.myserver.com)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0)
    (SID_NAME = PRIMARY)
    STANDBY
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =

    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle
    INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER=120
    When I first tried to setup this up several months ago I had this issue:
    ORA-12514 during SWITCHOVER
    Problem: You perform a switchover using DGMGRL. Though the switchover itself completes successful, databases don't get started up again. Instead, DGMGRL output holds an
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
    Cause: This is a configuration issue: DGMGRL needs a special entry in the listener.ora.
    Solution: Details on this can be found in the Metalink note 308943.1. Make sure both, your primary and standby database have an explicit entry in the listener.ora like this:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER = (
    SID_LIST = (
    SID_DESC = ( GLOBAL_DBNAME = <db_unique_name>DGMGRL.<dbdomain> )
    ( SERVICE_NAME = <db_unique_name>.<db_domain> )
    ( SID_NAME = <ORACLE_SID> )
    ( ORACLE_HOME = <ORACLE_HOME> )
    Take special care, that:
    * <db_unique_name> reflects the databases unique name (SHOW PARAMETER db_unique_name)
    * <db_domain> reflects the databases domain (SHOW PARAMETER db_domain)
    * <ORACLE_SID> and <ORACLE_HOME> reflect the corresponding settings of the database
    Having adjusted your listener.ora files, restart the listener (lsnrctl stop && lsnrctl start). Give your databases a few minutes to register with the listener again, and then - just to be on the safe side - let the listener tell you its configuration: lsnrctl status && lsnrctl services. Check the output if everything matches.

  • Help for configuring Data Guard Broker

    Hi All,
    Can any body help me in configuring data guard broker for oracle 9i on windows.
    What are all requirements needed. I already configured physical standby database.
    I did this is on my laptop using vm-ware. One node is having Primary database and
    second node is having standby database. Now I am planning to use DG broker on primary node.

  • Data Guard Broker Issue

    Hi All Gurus,
    I'm getting Problem in configuring Oracle Data Guard Broker 10g as follows:
    Installed Oracle 10g Cleint on a Different Machine as Primary & Standby.
    TNSNAMES.ora Entry is as follows:PRIMARY =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.29.3.135)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = STANDBY)
    Tnsping Utility is Working Well. Now I'm trying to Enable Fast Start Failover using DGMGRL on 3rd Machine, The Configuration of Primary is as follows:DGMGRL> SHOW DATABASE VERBOSE 'PRIMARY';
    Database
    Name: PRIMARY
    Role: PRIMARY
    Enabled: YES
    Intended State: ONLINE
    Instance(s):

    LogXptMode = 'SYNC'
    Standby Database:
    DGMGRL> SHOW DATABASE VERBOSE 'STANDBY';
    Database

    Role: PHYSICAL STANDBY
    Enabled: YES
    Intended State: ONLINE
    Instance(s):
    standby
    Properties:
    InitialConnectIdentifier = 'STANDBY'
    LogXptMode = 'ARCH'
    MY Primary Database is Running in Max Performance Mode. and I also tried to change the Standby LogXptMode from ARCH to SYNC, but it is giving me following Error:
    DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE 'STANDBY' SET PROPERTY LOGXPTMODE='SYNC';
    Error: ORA-16789: missing standby redo logs
    Failed.
    Please tell me how can I change LogXptMode from ARCH to SYNC? please help me. Thanks
    Regards,
    Imran

    Thanks for reply man. I have completed all of the Steps for Observer (Broker) on 3rd Machine. Thanks a lot
    These were the Steps after creating Standby Logs:
    DGMGRL> EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;
    Operation requires shutdown of instance "primary" on database "PRIMARY"
    Shutting down instance "primary"...
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.
    Operation requires startup of instance "primary" on database "PRIMARY"
    Starting instance "primary"...
    ORACLE instance started.
    Database mounted.
    DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE 'STANDBY' SET PROPERTY LOGXPTMODE='SYNC';
    Property "logxptmode" updated
    SQL> alter system set undo_retention=3600 scope=both;
    System altered.
    SQL> show parameter undo
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    undo_management string AUTO
    undo_retention integer 3600
    undo_tablespace string UNDOTBS1
    After doing the required methods, I enabled Fast-Start Failover;
    DGMGRL> ENABLE FAST_START FAILOVER;
    Enabled.
    But When I run the following Command:
    DGMGRL> START OBSERVER;
    Observer started
    I disconnected the Session and Login again, then it show me following Configuration:
    DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION VERBOSE
    Configuration
    Name: DGCONFIG1
    Enabled: YES
    Protection Mode: MaxAvailability
    Fast-Start Failover: ENABLED
    Databases:
    PRIMARY - Primary database
    STANDBY - Physical standby database
    - Fast-Start Failover target
    Fast-Start Failover
    Threshold: 30 seconds
    Observer: Node5
    Current status for "DGCONFIG1":
    SUCCESS
    Kindly tell me that is it working or I have to do more. Thanks

  • Data Guard Broker and Cold Failover clusters

    Hi,
    I wanted to use Data Guard Broker to control primary/standby systems on AIX clusters but found that without Oracle clusterware it is not supported on failover of a database to another node (unless you drop and recreate the configuration which in my opinion is not support at all!).
    The 11g documentation states that DG Broker offers support for single instance databases configured for HA using Oracle Clusterware and "cold failover clusters".
    Does anyone know whether this support for cold failover clusters in 11g means "proper support" i.e the configuration detects that the hostname has changed and automatically renames it so it continues to work?, or is the support in 11g the same as that in 10g?.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Jan,
    We already use virtual hostnames.
    When I set up the configuration the hostname for the databases default to the server name. The only way I know of changing this is to disable the configuration, then use the "edit database...set property" command but when I enable the configuration again it reverts back to its previous value.
    regards,
    Andy

  • Data Guard Broker connecting to standby database fails

    Hello everybody
    I checked lots of pages but I'm not able to find a solution für my problem. I already set up a primary and a standby database (prim = ALPHA1 / standby = ALPHA2).
    After enabling my dgmgrl configuration I got two errors:
    DGM-17016: failed to retrieve status for database "alpha2"
    ORA-16664: unable to receive the result from a database
    The dg log from ALPHA1 says:
    06/04/2013 16:06:57
    Site alpha2 returned ORA-16664.
    Data Guard Broker Status Summary:
    Type Name Severity Status
    Configuration alphadgb Warning ORA-16607
    Primary Database alpha1 Success ORA-00000
    Physical Standby Database alpha2 Error ORA-16664
    While the dg log from ALPHA2 (standby) says:
    06/04/2013 16:43:28
    SPFILE is missing value for property 'LogArchiveFormat' with sid='ALPHA2'
    Warning: Property 'LogArchiveFormat' has inconsistent values:METADATA='arch_ALPHA2_%S_%t_%r.arc', SPFILE='(missing)', DATABASE='arch_ALPHA2_%S_%t_%r.arc'
    Failed to connect to remote database alpha1. Error is ORA-12514
    Failed to send message to site alpha1. Error code is ORA-12514.
    How can I solve this issue? Every type of tnsping is successfull. The sqlplus login from the primary to the standby database works, the other way round works too! Therefore the tnsnames and listener data seems to be correct.

    As the listener are configured ALPHA1 (prim) should be on port 1521 while ALPHA2 (stby) should work on 1522. In the configuration of DGMGRL only appears port 1521 (look at StaticConnectIdentifier). Is this maybe the reason of the networking problems with DG Broker? How can I fix this?

  • Data Guard Broker fails with ORA-16635 and ORA-03135

    Hi All,
    I configured Oracle RAC with Dataguard 11.2 on Windows 2003.
    I've already configured Standby without Data Guard Broker and everything is working fine, but when I try to use Data Guard Broker, he can not synchronize the files from the Data Guard Broker.
    I've tried everything including MOS, but not found anything.

    Hi,
    Are you using firewall between Hosts?
    If yes check if firewall is blocking yours connections.
    Set the following parameter in the sqlnet.ora file that would be referenced by each database, primary and standby.
    SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=n
    Where n is some number of minutes. Preferably below 10. When this parameter is enabled, a small 10 byte probe packet will be sent from node to node at specific intervals.

    I did your advice , the error disappear, and thanks for your advice , but do I need to keep standby_file_management='AUTO' or 'MANUAL' in primary and standby init files?
    Am asking this because when I use the observer the failover failed and I get the following error
    SQL Execution error=604, sql=[ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY WAIT WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN]. See error stack below.
      ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
      ORA-01275: Operation ADD LOGFILE is not allowed if standby file management is automatic.
    Complete Failover operation failed in the step when attempting to convert the database to be the new primary.
    Database Resource SetState Error (16771)
    01/07/2014 09:14:43
    Command FAILOVER TO epprod2 completed with error ORA-16771
    if possible can you advice me please?

  • Data Guard Broker - Complete/Immediate Failover ???

    Dear Experts,
    I have been reading about Data Guard Broker from Oracle Doc's (10.2). I came across two terms: Immediate Failover and Complete Failover.
    I understood from the doc's what each one of them does but unable to understand how to trigger them.
    Say, I have a Data Guard configuration setup in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode. My primary database dies for whatever reason. How do I trigger "Complete Failover"?
    If I were to use the following command, it will perform "Immediate Failover"
    DGMGRL> failover to standbydb;
    OS:                    Any OS (as this is related to concept)
    Oracle:               Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    Standby Type:     Physical Standby DatabaseThanks for taking time in reading and answering my question.
    Regards

    According to the documentation at :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/sofo.htm#CHDDIEAC
    or
    http://www.sc.ehu.es/siwebso/KZCC/Oracle_10g_Documentacion/server.101/b10822/siteresource.htm
    the command mentioned will execute a 'Complete Failover'
    The command to do an Immediate failover would be:
    FAILOVER TO STANDBYDB IMMEDIATE ;Correct me if I'm wrong...
