DataGuard and ASM Question

I want to implement Dataguard between non-asm instances. My question is how to move data from non-asm to asm box.
Thanks,

Sure. The location of the data files is irrelevent to DataGuard-- DataGuard is only concerned with the change vectors (i.e. the redo information).

  • Dataguard and ASM on 10gR2

    I can find no information on if dataguard can be used with ASM. Does it require the use of datafiles? I am upgrading databases from 9.2.0.4 to 10g and will have a standby and remote location standby also for distaster recovery. Any information and book/url/other sources is greatly appreciated.

  • Dataguard using ASM in primary node and FILESYSTEM in standby node

    Hi There!
    I need to configure a Dataguard, and my primary DB is working on ASM, the standby node is going to be using filesystems, so I want to know if there is a guide that I can follow in order to get this task successfully completed.
    My operating system is Solaris 10, and the DB Release is 10.2.0.4. I want to know the best practices.
    Also I want to remember some RMAN Restore and Recover techniques to have this configuration ready, up and running.
    Thanks in Advance.

    @>--->----

    setting this up isn't that different to setting up a single instance standby on ASM,
    the MAA guide is here
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/MAA_WP_10g_RACPrimarySingleInstancePhysicalStandby.pdf
    this details the configuration using ASM on both sides, if you want to use filesystem storage on the standby then the following parameters will need to be changed
    *.db_file_name_convert='+DATA/CHICAGO/','+DATA/BOSTON/','+RECOVERY/CHICAGO','+RECOVERY/BOSTON'
    *.log_file_name_convert='+DATA/CHICAGO/','+DATA/BOSTON/','+RECOVERY/CHICAGO','+RECOVERY/BOSTON'
    to something like
    *.db_file_name_convert='+DATA/CHICAGO/','/oradata/boston','+RECOVERY/CHICAGO','/recovery/boston'
    *.log_file_name_convert='+DATA/CHICAGO/','/oradata/boston','+RECOVERY/CHICAGO','/recovery/boston'
    alternativly you can set the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST and DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n parameters and let oracle create OMF files for the dataguard instance.

  • Question about RAC and ASM

    Hi,
    We are thinking about build RAC using ASM for OEM database. It'll have two nodes, oracle 10g and Hitachi san with solaris ( or linux ). I've few questions about RAC and ASM.
    1) Do I need to have ASM instance running on each node ? ( most likely yes... but want to make sure )
    2) can I share oracle_home between ASM instance and database instance ? what is the best choice ?
    3) I'm planning to use shared disks for all files, all databases.... what are the pros/cons ?
    4) what should be the installation procedure ? Meaning, first create ASM instance on each node, then install cluster software, build RAC databases...... can someone explain..
    5) I believe RMAN is the only option for backup since I'm using ASM, correct ?
    I'm a newbie to RAC and ASM..
    Thanks,

    2) can I share oracle_home between ASM instance and database instance ? what is the best choice ?in 10g you can, in 11gr2 you cannot. and it might be better to seperate them because it will give you more flexibility with patching.
    3) I'm planning to use shared disks for all files, all databases.... what are the pros/cons ?if you share your oracle_home you won't be able to do rolling updates. so i recommend to keep oracle_homes local.
    4) what should be the installation procedure ? Meaning, first create ASM instance on each node, then install cluster software, build RAC databases...... can someone explain..follow the install guide for your respective version. for 10g you'd install clusterware first, then asm and database is last.
    5) I believe RMAN is the only option for backup since I'm using ASM, correct ?pretty much. you could stop your database and dump the raw devices or use asmcmd/asmftp but rman is definitely the best choice

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

  • Patching Strategy for CRS and ASM homes

    I'm fairly new to RAC/ASM and haven't performed any patch set upgrades yet. Back in the simple days when I wanted to apply a patch set to a database, say from 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5, I would create a brand new Oracle home ahead of time and apply the patch set to it. I'd name my homes like this:
    /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db1
    /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.5/db1
    During the maintenance window I would change /etc/oratab to point the database to the new 10.2.0.5 and complete the database upgrade scripts. The advantages of this strategy:
    1 - Less risk installing software as nothing uses the new home yet. If something goes wrong in the install, no big deal. Research the problem and try again without being under the stress of a defined maintenance window.
    2 - No need to backup old home for back-out purposes.
    3 - Less time required for database to be down during actual patch window since Oracle Installer does not need to run.
    Now with CRS and ASM, is there a way to pre-stage a new home for those, but not have them "active" to the node until later during the maintenance window?
    For ASM, it seems like it would be possible to treat the same way as database and simply update ASM SID in /etc/oratab
    +ASM1:/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.5/asm1
    but I'm not totally confident in that as I'm afraid the CRS home may already have references to the ASM home in the cluster registry.
    For CRS, it seems like the home is pretty well hard-wired into the node startup scripts and installing a brand new CRS home will probably disrupt the running CRS home.
    Any thoughts about this?

    Starting with 11.2 for Grid Infrastructure only "out-of-place" patchset upgrades are supported.

    Any thoughts about this?As of 11gR2 the ASM is part of the Grid Infrastructure, therefore it is running from the same home and not recommended to separate them. (although you can do that)
    By the way, what is your upgrade path? It could be easier to answer your questions if we knew that as there has been a quite a few enhancements and changes in the upgrade/patching process from 10g to 11g. (even between 11gR1 and 11gR2)

  • Block change Track and ASM

    Hi
    I have database running 3 node RAC and ASM, current version 10.2.0.4. Since the size is 1T and to minimize the backup time wants to implement BCT. As you know to enable BCT we need to create a file, my question can we create this file in ASM? or it has to out side ASM?
    Thanks,

    It can be in ASM.

  • RAC and ASM with geographically seperated disks

    We are planning to use RAC and ASM with four nodes. The two nodes will be at one location and another two nodes at different location. The ASM disks also will be available locally. Is it possible to configure ASM with geographycally serepared disks.
    We are thinking of two RAC and ASM setups with two nodes each and streams replication between the RACs.
    I want to know what is the best method to implement. Is it RAC with four nodes OR two RACs with two nodes each and streams replication between the RACs.

    Apart from the latency issue, which has been mentioned by others, you also need to mirror your disks between the two sites and be very careful about split brain scenarios under node or site crashes.
    You need to mirror the disks between the sites in case one site crashes completely and loses all network access. The only way the second site can carry on is if it has access to all the data disks, and the cluster control disks (terms vary for this, such as quorum or voting disk). If you do not mirror you simply do not have a resilient design. Resilience is about eliminating all single points of failures, which means duplicating everything i.e. mirroring.
    And mirroring between two remote sites adds more volume to the data traffic between the two sites. And it would need to be synchronous rather than asynchronous to guarantee no data loss. And your commits for each transaction would be limited by the round trip time to write to the remote site and get the acknowledgement back.
    Split brain is something you need to avoid with remote clusters, and local clusters too. If the network goes down between the two sites and both sites have local copies of all of the data and cluster control disks, which site becomes the primary and which one becomes the standby? You cannot have both sites coming back up as primary with active databases and accepting transactions! At this point you have split brain, and each side is processing transactions independently, and both databases are now deviating from each other with different data changes.
    I don't think a 4 node RAC environment split across geographical distances is really viable, except under small transaction volumes, and where response time (transaction time) is not critical. If you have high volumes and need fast transactions then you need to only use local RAC configurations, and replicate between the two sites asynchronously. DataGuard is easier, but you need to decide if you need Streams and how to make it work for you.

  • Using provisioning can I apply patches to the rdbms and asm home

    We have 24 patches that have been recommended by Oracle support to apply to RDBMS and ASM home. I currently have been using provisioning via GRID to apply 1 patch.
    My question is can I use provisioning to apply all 24 patches at one time to both the RDBMS and ASM home?

    You can apply all the patchese at one shot but u have to use two different DP

    Hello,
    there's no extra RAC software package, but the option is only offered, if one of the supported cluster layers for the respective OS has been installed before.
    10.1.0.3 looks like a complete redesign, but anyway it is a patch, you have to install 10.1.0.2 first.

  • SSD and ASM configurations

    Hello all,
    Although I realize that the question of configuration on ASM regarding the use of SSD storage devices is, or should be mote at this point.
    I still see, from time to time, questions and discussions on this topic in the other forms.
    I am wondering if it would be possible to create such a forum just to discuss these questions?
    But then where do you put it?
    Should this be a storage section for SSD?
    Database ASM storage or a subset or either?
    What do you think?

  • Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

    A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table.  Here is what I would have expected to see as the code.  Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
    data : commit_count type i.
    select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
      update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
         where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
      commit work and wait.
    endselect.
    I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else.  In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.

    Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ?  They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ???  Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ?  We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
    Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

    The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
    You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
    Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

    First, remove your personal information from your post.  That's not needed here.  This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
    Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
