Data Guard setup with Clustered primary ?

Hi,
I am sure I am not in this unique requirement of setting up a Data Guard configuration where my primary database is clustered (for local server failure) and I am setting up the Data Guard (for the site level failure).
I could do the Data Guard setup without any problem where my primary and standby are on single individual servers (not clustered) but when I do the set up with primary database as clustered and do a local failover (not using Data Guard but using the veritas cluster) the DB Broker just stops recognizing the configuration.
I did come across a metalink note (BUG 4404952 ) which says DG Broker does not support Cold Failover Cluster.
Has anyone found any work around to it?
Has anyone tried using the above configuration in 10.2.0.4? Does it work in 10.2.0.4?
The Bug is dated 2007 so I am sure I am not the first one to encounter this issue.
Would really appreciate if someone can tell me what the workaround would be or guide me to any good link which would tell me the same.
Thanks a lot in anticipation.

I read somewhere that cold failover support in 11g is also ONLY for the oracle clusterware configuration.
Its really so hard to believe that there is NO ONE who wants to have a clustered primary (for local server failures) and a Data Guard (for the Site level failure or DR) as a combination in their HA environment.
I am still in the testing phase, What else could I be looking for in the solution if I need to achieve both these objectives (ie Local Server failures and Site level failures or DR)? I already have the Local server failure taken care by using the Veritas cluster so what do I need to include in the mix to achieve the site level failure?

Data Guard setup with 11i apps

Hi,
We are configuring dataguard for our 11i apps its 10g database , i have some questions regarding dataguard.
as per metalink note : Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 11i, Database Releases 9i and 10g [ID 216212.1]
Step2)Configure Oracle Net communications to and from the standby.
As the ORACLE user on the production database server, in the <TNS_ADMIN> directory, create an include file with entries for the standby database and for the FAL (fetch archive logs) server for your tnsnames.ora configuration file. Check the last line of your tnsnames.ora file for the name of the ifile, and match it exactly (matching upper and lower case). The file name will have this format: <CONTEXT_NAME>_ifile.ora.
With one small change, this file can be used on the production database environment when it acts as a standby during a switchover to another server for planned maintenance – modifying the HOST name of the standby service definition to point to the correct location on switchover.
A sample <TNS_ADMIN>/<CONTEXT_NAME>_ifile.ora file, set up for primary site usage:

Grid Control and Data Guard Setup

Hi,
I have 4 PCs on which I wish to test the following:
1. OEM Grid Control 10.2 - Console + Service + Agent
2. Data Guard feature with Broker
3. Standby Setup for a Primary Database.
I will create the Primary DB on one Linux PC.
Standby DB using Grid Control & DataGuard on second Linux PC.
The Third PC is also Linux but the fourth PC is Windows XP.
Please guide me in understanding the following:
1. On which PCs should I install OEM Grid Control 10.2 - Console + Service + Agent?
2. On which PC should I setup DB Broker?
Please assume that I will use Oracle 10.2 Softwares and Linux x86 version.
Regards

well why don't you go ahead and test?!
Test and see whether you want to put oms, console all one machine, or whether you want to separate out the componests (you'll need an agent on each box regardless). I have no idea what the specs of your machines are, so why don't read the documentation on Grid and dataguard, see what the recommended settings are and then plan what you want to do.

Flashback Database on Data Guard setup

Hello!
Win 2003 server - 64 bit
Oracle 10.2.0.4
As i have noticed Flashback Database is popular in Data Guard setups for the reinstate reason; you dont need to rebuild.
However, im looking at Flashback for 'flashback database' reasons. Some developers has asked for a method to rollback if an release has gone bad, so my questions is;
If i flashback database primary database, will standby also change due to redo log shipment?
Thank u!

After flashing primary database check CURRENT_SCN in Standby. If flashback scn is greater then current_scn, then do nothing. Otherwise, on standby:
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
FLASHBACK STANDBY DATABASE TO SCN "flashback_scn_number -1";
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;

Oracle11gR2 data guard setup

I am looking for a document on "Active data guard configuration and setup".
In past I have used the following doc.....
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/11GR2+Data+Guard+Setup+project
But now the web link isn't available anymore (The link automatically redirects to www.oracle.com). The document was basically a workshop on how to setup Oracle 11gR2 active data guard with fast-failover option. It was an excellent document and very informative. Any idea where I can find it?
If anyone could point me to the document or atleast let me know who the author is....that will be extremly helpful.
Thanks,
Sourav

Thanks for the reply! But no, that's not the one I was looking for.
The old URL "http://wiki.oracle.com/page/11GR2+Data+Guard+Setup+project" had step by step very detail directions on data guard setup starting from physical standby creation from scratch. Nor typical OBE style....... just step by step instructions. It was indeed a very popular document/workshop.
Since this web link was active just 2 months back, I was wondering if there would be an archived location or someone would be able to help me locate the doc. It's hard to believe that these very helpful docs are deleted overnight.
Thanks,

Data guard setup for 2 node RAC primary to 2 node RAC standby

Hi All,
I am going to setup data guard for 2 node RAC primary to 2 node RAC standby on Oracle 10.2.0.4. in AIX5L.
Can you please provide the document on the above setup which is having all the steps (details).
Also, the documents on different scenarios like
1) If one node of standby goes down, how the redo logs will be applied. IS there any problem?
2) If both nodes of standby are failed, how to reciver them?
3) If one node of primary fails, is there any issue?
4) If two nodes of primary fails, is there any issue?
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

Active data Guard but with delay on applying redo logs

Hello,
A question: Active Data Guard gives the possibility of having a physical stand-by database open read-only, for instance for making 'up-to-date' reports.
Data Guard also has the possibility to apply logs with delay, for instance with a delay of some hours. Every commit on primary database is applied to standby after the delay period.
Can this delay be combined with Active Data Guard? This means that standby database is open read-only but with the delay... In case the delay is 2 hours, every report created on standby is ("up-to-date" minus 2 hours)...
Thanks for your answer,
Jan.

Hello All,
I answered my own question: indeed it is possible to activate 'real time apply' but with a delay in applying the logs. In EM-11 check the box "enable real time query" and apply. Nect go to thje tab "standby role properties" and change the value after "Apply delay" to for instance 30 minutes. Apply also.
Log on on the primary, create a table, insert some rows and do some logswitches. Log in on the standby and check for the new table. Notice that after 30 minutes the switched logs are applied, even when you change the delay period within the 30 minutes. The information about the delay seems to be in the log, since it is possible to change the delay immediately after the logswitches to 3 minutes, drop the table and do some logswitches again. The logs with the 'create table' statement in it are NOT applied after 3 minutes, but still after 30 minutes. The drop of the table however is done after 3 minutes on the standby. So the 'delay' information is in the log sent over to the Stand-by!

Oracle 11i(11.5.0.2) Data guard setup

Hi,
Hi, I am currently doing a test for 11i(with10.2.0.3 db) with Data guard. Since I have only one test server. I have created the Primary,Standby and the application Tier on one server. After switching over to the standby and trying to run autconfig on the application tier, it fails with TNS-entry not found. I would like to know that if its mandatory that the Primary and Standby db should have the same listener port or not.
Thanks

Data Guard Setup

I am trying to set up data guard 10g R2 on RHEL 5.
I was able to successfully set up one. What I did is i followed this blogger:
Data Guard Configuration Example - (Oracle 10g, Physical Standby) by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator on http://www.idevelopment.info/
What I did is i installed RHEL 5 on 2 servers. Then I installed database software on both servers. Then on both servers, i used dbca to create database on each server. Am I correct? Since my data guard is working now as verified on testing. what i did is:
-install oracle software and create database on node 1
-install oracle software and create database on node 2
-transformed database on node 2 into physical standby database.
Is this also correct?
I am hearing that i can also create data guard (with physical standby database) using the setup:
- install oracle software and create database on node 1
-install oracle software only on node 2
-create physical standby database on node 2 using the database in node 1.
Any recommendations or am i doing correctly?

Ah, I may have explained incorrectly what I actually did .
What I did is,
- I created a database called test1 in node1 (general purposewith datafiles).
- Then on my node2, I created another database named test2 in node2 (custom databaseno datafiles).
- Node1 and Node2 has the same structures (except some paths which has .../test1/... and .../test2/...).
- Then I used RMAN to clone the database in node1 to node2.
These are my commands:
node2] rman target sys/oracle@test1 auxiliary sys/oracle@test2
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby;
So I believe what I did is also correct since I restored my test1 database in node1 into test2 database in node2. So I believe, my test2 database is an RMAN clone of my node1 database.

RAC + Data Guard setup

In high-level terms, if you are running a 2-node RAC and get asked to create a 2-node disaster recovery site, how would I go about doing that? (The cluster in the disaster recovery site has already been created and the Oracle 11.2.0.1 software installed).
I'm thinking generally that an RMAN clone of production to the secondary site would be an idea: but can that be done with both production nodes up? And is the best approach to clone to a single-instance and then add a second instance manually later on?
Any pointers, or tips for a 2-node data guard from a 2-node RAC setup would be appreciated, basically. I realise it's pretty vague, but I'm just scoping this out at the moment and need some general pointers.

Data Guard SetUp Q

For our new project we need zero data loss incase of disaster. I am thinking to use Data Guard between 2 remote data centers. I was going thru documentation and I have 1 Q:
In Maximum performance mode is it possible to have LGWR SYNC as a way to ship redo data?
If yes then wouldn't it be same as Maximum Availability?
If I use LGWR ASYNC , how much data loss can I expect?
Any help would be much appreciate
Thanks
Kanwal

You can check Oracle doc to fully understand the difference between LGWR SYNC Archival Processing
and LGWR ASYNC Archival Processing
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_transport.htm#i1265730
The main difference is SYNC will not commit change on primary until transaction is received on standby. ASYNC will not wait for remote confirmation.
If your network connection between standby and primary is not reliable it will have huge impact on performance. So it depends on how remote your standby is.
On the primary database, the LGWR process submits the redo data to one or more network server (LNSn) processes, which then initiate the network I/O in parallel to multiple remote destinations. Transactions are not committed on the primary database until the redo data necessary to recover the transaction is received by all LGWR SYNC destinations.
When the LGWR and ASYNC attributes are specified, the log writer process writes to the local online redo log file, while the network server (LNSn) processes (one for each destination) asynchronously transmit the redo to remote destinations. The LGWR process continues processing the next request without waiting for the LNS network I/O to complete.
