Data Guard Static Listener DGB vs DGMGRL

All
11gR2 here.
When setting up the static listener definition for a database, I see various bits of documentation saying you should have a <SID>_DGB entry and/or a <SID>_DGMGRL entry.
Can someone please explain the difference between _DGB and _DGMGRL and whether both are needed?

Hi,
Thanks for your question - I remember had a similar issue while setting up the DG with Broker.
Name is important (I remember a prerequisite) specially when you are using Broker. Please read this note for clarification.
11.2 - DGMGRL>switchover to <standby> Fails with ORA-12514 (Doc ID 1582927.1)
12.1 - DGMGRL>switchover to <standby> Fails with ORA-12514 (Doc ID 1582927.1)

I created Stby DB with the minimum parameters required, so that I configure BROKER and see it magic, but badly stuck in this situation here. I have read many docs related to this..but can not fix it unfortunately.
Please guide me from your own experience as note ids, blogs are not helping me here...
Bundle of thanks.

Hi,
Your listener.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.domain whereas tnsnames.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.
Check in your database for exact service name and reflect the same in both the files.
SQL> sho parameter service_names
Restart the listener and try connecting.
Thank you!!

Configure listener for data guard

HI everyone,
I am currently setting data guard (Physical standby database) for my database. But I have problem to configure the listener on both servers. Can anyone provide me some example?
Oracle: 10g R2
O/S: Windows
Primary database ken10g
standby database: ken10gbk
Following is the content of my current listener files on both of servers:
Primary server:
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Primary_server)(PORT = 1521))
Standby Server:
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby_server)(PORT = 1521))
Thanks in advance.
Ken

Hi Ken,
You need to configure this on both primary and standby, I would have kept different listener name on primary and standby. Also if you are going to use dataguard broker you would need to set GLOBAL_DBNAME in your listener.ora file
I have give a sample entry for tnsnames.ora and listener.ora
TNSNAMES.ORA on primary
STNDBY =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-prv)(PORT = 10521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = STNDBY)
PRIM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-prv)(PORT = 10521)))
PRIMARY =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-prv)(PORT = 10521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PRIMARY)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
Copy the same file to the standby server and adjust it based on the listener.ora file. Also update the listener.ora file so that it listen the SIDs mentioned in the tnsnames.ora file.
Listener.ora
LISTENER_STBY =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-prv)(PORT = 10521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
SID_LIST_LISTENER_STBY =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db10g)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = stndby)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = stndby_DGMGRL)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db10g)
)

Data Guard instance - Additional Listener

Hi,
I have 2 node cluster RAC 11gr2 and want to setup data guard on remote site with 2 node RAC instance. Do I prefer to have separate listener for data guard? Is this best practices or do I need to prefer to have scan listener?
Does any one have any DG best practices doc or ML?
Thanks

Hi,
Check out this note - Data Guard Physical Standby 11.2 RAC Primary to RAC Standby using a second network (Doc ID 1349977.1)
Additional listener only for DG traffic is a good solution - you can disable access for users and still have a working DG infrastructure.

Marcin Przepiorowski

Separate listener for Data Guard

I am setting up a best practice about using a dedicated listener for Data Guard. The idea is to maintain full functionality of Data Guard while application team is requesting to bring down listener service (according to business requirement). Need your opinion on these:
1. I understand that there may be a very little chance when listener is required by Data Guard, but I find it no harm to do this. Do you agree with me?
2. In RAC environment, we can only have 1 VIP to be used in listener.ora. I am thinking of using same IP but different port numbers for different listener. Any better idea than this?
Many thanks

It is never a bad practice to use separate listeners at the primary and at the Standby for Data Guard's use. A listener at the standby is required by Data Guard to make a connection to that standby. A listener at the Primary is required for Data Guard to make a reverse connection from the Standby to the Primary for some kinds of Gap resolution (missing log file the the Primary thinks it already sent or a corrupted log file etc). And of course, when you switch roles.
To answer the second question could you please tell me what version of Oracle you are using and if you plan on using the Data Guard Broker or not?
Thanks.
Larry

Static Listener

Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.2 RAC, Host RHEL 5.6
While creting physical standby using Duplicate from Active databse, it is necessary to use static listener configuration, and it is RAC so need to have static listeners configured for SCAn also
1)Why do we need to use the static listener?
2)I have a 3 node primary , 3 node standby, do i need to add static listener on all the 3 nodes on primary and standby? If so, why do i need to add on primary nodes, and on all standby nodes.
Because standby is built by connecting to only one primary instance and one auxiliary instance,so it is ok to add static listeners only on just one auxiliary node righr? or am i missing something?
Thanks

Hello;
It occurs to me for RAC this has to be a requirement cluster-network nodes.
I'm having trouble finding the exact document but "Update Network Configuration Files" in the White Paper "Rapid Oracle RAC Standby Deployment: Oracle Database 11g Release 2"
States :
At this point there are two similarly configured but different Oracle RAC databases, each in the primary role. Before creating the standby database, update the network configuration files on all systems to ensure proper client access to both databases and to create the static service entries used by the Oracle Data Guard observer and broker command line utility, DGMGRL.The problem is I cannot find a quote where "Broker" is not in the picture.
There is also a "Listener.ora Files" section to this document which supports this.
A search of "static" that document may provide your answer.

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?

Oracle RAC / Logical Data Guard causing network problems on VMware

We have VMWare 5.0 cluster across the 12 blades (6 per chassis) running a mixture of Red Hat and Windows 2008 R2 vms. The Red Hat boxes are two times two node Oracle RAC (primary and secondary), also apache web servers and jboss application servers. The Windows servers are for AV/DC/Management/Monitoring.
The problem is that intermittent network connectivity to random Windows and Red Hat boxes occur when the Oracle RAC builds up archive logs and then ships / applies them to the secondary nodes, between ESX nodes either on different blades in the same chassis or across the chassis and even when all RAC nodes are on the same ESX host.
We are using NFS, Oracle 11g and Red Hat 6.2.
Sorry if this info is a bit vague, im not an Oracle expert! :-)
thanks,
Dave

Hi,
1.) The calculation for Standby RedoLogs is:
(Max Number of Logfiles per thread (Instance) +1) * Max Number of Threads (Instances))
So if you have 4 Redo Log Groups on your primary (which is 2 Redo Log Groups per Instance), then it ends up:
(2 +1) * 2 = 6
So actually you will only need 6 standby redo logs, not 8. But 2 more don't harm.
Your primary will need exactly the same number (6 or in your case 8). Which will be 3 per thread/instance or in your case 4.
2.) The SID List in the listener.ora is a listing of SIDs the Listener is listening on. It is not the listener name.
Hence it is not "lsnrctl guard_dgmgrl start" but only "lsnrctl LISTENER start", whereas the LISTENER is the default and "lsnrctl start" would be sufficient.
However since this is grid infrastructure with the listener running out of ASM home, be sure to have set your environment to GI Home not to DB_HOME for the listener.ora entries, but to DB_HOME for the tnsnames.ora entries necessary for data guard.
And since listener is running under clusterware you should use "srvctl stop listener" and start.
Last but not least the SID entries for dataguard have to use DGMGRL not dgmgrl.
3.) Here is the whitepaper you are looking for:
www.oracle.com/goto/maa
Also for client failover best practices.
(Here the direct link to the RAC whitepaper):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10g-racprimarysingleinstance-131970.pdf
However since this is 10g you should combine this with the 11g RAC standy paper (e.g. SCAN Listener setup).

Configure data guard broker on Oracle 11.2.0.1

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))
(ADDRESS_LIST =

(PROGRAM = extproc)
(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 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =

(sid_name = STANDBY)
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.

The Parameter should be in the INIT file
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
you mean copy the password from the primary database? Yes! And rename
I have an example - give me a second
If my Primary password file is 'orapwRECOVER2'
I would copy that to the Standby server and rename to orapwSTANDBY ( STANDBY would be your database name )
My path for this is
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbs
It will be different on Windows.
Are you doing an Active Duplicate?

Edited by: mseberg on Feb 24, 2012 11:53 AM
Overview RMAN DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY
1. Standby database need small INIT file for Duplicate in most cases.
2. You can either create a backup on the Primary and move it, or do an Active Duplication
3. The Tnsnames.ora should hold entries for both the Primary and Standby database on BOTH servers.
4. Having a Static listener entry for the Standby ( which does not exist yet is import ) restart the listener
Tnsnames.ora Example
Tnsnames.ora
RECOVER2=
    (DESCRIPTION=
      (ADDRESS=
         (PROTOCOL=TCP)
         (HOST=hostname)
         (PORT=1521)
      (CONNECT_DATA=
         (SERVICE_NAME=RECOVER2.hostname)
         (UR = A)
RECLONE=
    (DESCRIPTION=
      (ADDRESS=
         (PROTOCOL=TCP)
         (HOST=hostname)
         (PORT=1521)
      (CONNECT_DATA=
         (SERVICE_NAME=RECLONE.hostname)
         (UR = A)
Listener.ora Example
BEFORE
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
   (SID_LIST =
       (SID_DESC =
       (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (PROGRAM = extproc)
AFTER
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
   (SID_LIST =
       (SID_DESC =
       (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (PROGRAM = extproc)
       (SID_DESC =
       (global_dbname = RECLONE.hostname)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (sid_name = RECLONE)
)So the extra entry for the clone database is needed because otherwise RMAN has nothing to connect to.
Prevent Timeouts
Add these to both servers
To listener.ora
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ = 120
To sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 120
Then stop and start the listener.So on the Primary you could make a backup like this :
RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
}And then after moving it to the Standby Server duplicate like this
run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;

Parameters need to configure Data Guard with Data Guard Broker

Hi gurus,
I'm following this guide http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/sap/wp-ora4sap-dataguard11g-303811.pdf, but it isn't clarify what parameters we need to set to get the service up.
I noticed that we can setting up for two ways, either Oracle Enterprise Manager or Data Guard Broker. Do we need to configure the same parameters to OEM and after to activate the DGMGRL?
Can you help me?
