Dataguard Setup

Hi Guys,
I am trying to setup an physical standby across 2 locations in different cities. used RMAN duplicate command to setup an standby database on DR location.
Now once RMAN completed, we executed alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile command..
On standby database it shows:
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 0
Next log sequence to archive 0
Current log sequence 0
and on primary current sequence is 3395
Also on standby
select PROCESS,STATUS,THREAD#,SEQUENCE#,BLOCK#,DELAY_MINS from v$managed_standby where process like 'MRP%';
PROCESS STATUS THREAD# SEQUENCE# BLOCK# DELAY_MINS
MRP0 WAIT_FOR_LOG 1 3788 0 0
Not sure what is the issue, please suggest..
Thanks and Regards!

Thanks for the reply guys..

Oracle 10g Dataguard Setup

Hi Guys,
I am planning to have Dataguard setup for my single instance database in HP-UNIX.
Please let me know the pre-requistes for this setup. I currently have Oracle enterprise edition installed. Do i need any specific application, tool or software installed for this, etc ?
Also, help me out with the configuration steps.
Thanks.

Hi,

Also, if i choose the manual method(using sql's), do I need to install anything ?
I understand these are basics. Please bear with me.
Thanks.Hi,
On standby side need following steps.
1. You must install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (same version, same patchset) Software only.
2. Add Listener, and add standby service name
3. You must create folders for data files, flash recovery area and diags.
Not need any additional tools.

Using DBConsole In Dataguard Setup

Hi,
We have 3 node RAC Primary and a 3 node RAC Standby part of our Production Dataguard setup. We are using DBConsole to monitor the databases in our environment.
The agent and console was up on the Primary site and the Production database was being continuously monitored using the GUI.
Recently as part of maintenance activity the database roles have been switched.
My question is :
Can we just proceed to start the emagent and console on the new primary site (which was not running initially as it was a standby previously) and continue to monitor the environment?What is the risk involved in doing so?
Regards,
Santosh

Hello;
I know it's not the question you asked but Data Guard broker makes this simple and is a great option.
DGMGRL> show configuration;
If I were going to use EM I would make sure that:
1. I deploy Enterprise Manager agents to the both primary and standby servers.
2. The Standby database(s) are added to to Enterprise Manager.

Single node Dataguard setup

Please can somebody provide me the source for step by step single instance physical standby dataguard setup for my single instance database.

http://static7.userland.com/oracle/gems/alejandroVargas/DataGuardPhysicalStandbystep.pdf
I got this PDF from the above link, do you have one for 'single instance to single instance dataguard setup' as in the one you sent from Page 17 of 27 it starts telling about RAC which is confusing me. Please send if you have any other pdf or source.

Dataguard setup for selected schemas

Version:10.2, 11.2
Platform : Solaris 5.10
In our Production DB, we have some schemas which we do not want to be replicated at the standby site. Logical backup is enough for these schemas.
Instead of replicating the entire database, Is there a way we could set up dataguard in which the logs are shipped only for selected schemas?

With a Physical Standby Database , you always 'replicate' your whole Primary. With Logical Standby, though, you could exclude certain schemas from the 'replication'.
Another option would be - as already mentioned by others - to do a regular replication with Streams or Golden Gate and only replicate the schemas resp. objects that you deem important.
However, I would recommend that you review the requirement to exclude 'unimportant' schemas from your Standby Database. It makes the whole setup more complicated than necessary.
Just go with Physical Standby and ignore those schemas - why bother?
Kind regards

Dataguard setup using hot backup files

Hello,
I am planning to setup dataguard using Hot backup (Not RMAN) files from the primary instance. I have a few doubt as, How shall I recover the Standby database using the archive files generated while taking hot backup of primary? Shall I directly execute the "alter database recover managed standby database" command? Will this command take care of the archives generated durring hot backup also?
Appreciate any help on the above.
DB Version:10.2.0.4
Regards.

Guys by using below procedure you can rebuild your data gurad by using manual hot backup.
1) On the primary database, defer the archival of redo data .
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=DEFER;
2)
put primary database in backup mode
copy all the datafiles from primary database to Standby database (you can copy to other location in primary server and tar&zip it and send it to stand by and unzip and untar there)
Once you copy the datafiles to another location on primary server,you can use below command for tar and zip
go to the copied datafiles location and issue below command
tar cvf - .|gzip -c > /dump/backup/drdb_backup.tar.gz
put primary database in end backup.
3) create stabdby controlfile by using below command and send it to standby server
alter database create standby controlfile as '/dump/drbackup/2standby.ctl'
4) copy all generated archive logs (from the time of database begin abckup) from primary database server to standby database log_archive_dest location.
5) on standby database once we placed all datafiles and controlfiles in place use below commands
export ORACLE_SID=standbydb
SQL> starup nomount;
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
SQL> recover standby database;
--AUTO
SQL> alter database open read only;
SQL> shut immediate
SQL> startup nomount;
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
SQL> alter database open read only;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
6) On the primary database, issue the following statement to reenable archiving to the physical standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE;

Resizing online and standby redo log in dataguard setup.

In 10gr2 dataguard i would like to increase redo logsize from 50M to 100M.
on primary
standby_file_management=manual
added online redo groups with 100M
log switched
drop old one and readded with 100m
deleted log added in step2.
same for standby redo logs.
On standby
was able to resize standby redo logs.
but cannot resize online redologs status is clearing or clearing_current.
please comment. thanks.

I assume you just had to wait until the Primary switched out of that online log so it became inactive at the standby as well? We track where the Primary is by marking the online redo log files at the standby as clearing_current so you can tell where the primary was at any given moment.
Make sure you create new standby redo log files at the Primary and Standby to match the new online redo log file size.

DataGuard setup between Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server - possible?

Oracle 9.2. The documentation says "The hardware and operating system architecture on the primary and standby locations must be the same". I understand that this is recommended setup and it will be much better if it will be setup on EXACTLY same hardware and OS. My questions is - Is it possible to set it up between XP Pro and 2003 Server? Had anyone done it successfully the past?
Thank you

Hi,
between XP Pro and 2003 ServerBoth are Win* releases, both are 32bit. So I can't see why it would not work. But I think that certified combination requies that both computers use same O.S. release (XP pro xor 2k3 server).

OCM RAC Physical dataguard setup

Hi
I am preparing for the OCM examination and have gone through the detailed course outline but i am not clear on the following things.
OCM exam topic is very broad and the course outline does not cover topics in detail.
Suppose the examiner asks me to setup a RAC physical standby for RAC primary database this is going to take a lot of time and without my toolkit it is going to take a lot of time.
Currently the strategy i want to use for this kind of exam is have lot of things automated including shell tricks like aliasing example alias startup and the database gets started etc .But i guess these tools would not be allowed in the OCM exam.
I agree peeking into the documentation is allowed but in my humble opinion my college professor used to call these open book exam but many candidates who opened the book felt they never had time to compete the exam so i am kind of skeptical on this.
So do i use Oracle enterprise manage grid control to do things quickly ?
Practice on my home laptop with Enterprise Manger Grid Control (GC) ? to make things faster ?
If i need to install RAC and GC then probably i don't have a choice but if the question is to setup streams then probably GC is faster so confronted with a streams environment do i go ahead and use streams is that legal ?
Is that a good strategy ?
regards
P.S:Is it oaky to ask such a tactical question on this forum ?

My curiosity for OCM exam stems from the fact that setting up RAC physical standby with RAC primary would be a time consuming task and may not be feasible within the given time frame if i am ever asked to do so in the exam .You can be pretty confident that the exam will provide adequate time to do everything that is needed - if you are comfortable with the process, and the commands, based on experience.
If you need to read (study) the provided documentation at exam time to find out basic command syntax or to figure out the methods on the fly, then you will certainly run out of time. In other words, you should not ordinarily need to refer to the documentation by the time, other than to verify something that you may have confused due to pressure/stress.
Not sure what you are saying about pre-canned scripts. You can rest assured that you will not be allowed to
I was not going to comment about the specific scenario you mention. However, I do reiterate that they do not expect OCMs to be superhuman - just very competent and experienced. And I do question where you get the "Data Guard on a RAC DB" connection? (Data Guard, yes ... but tied to RAC?)

Moving the Datafile in Dataguard Setup.

Hi DBAs,
I have setup the data guard single instance to single instance with Oracle 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 5. I am using local storage for datafiles. I have created one datafile which was part of Index TS (Index TS has 7 other datafiles already) at wrong location at /u01 instead of /datafiles/docmrep file system. Is there any way , I move/rename the datafile to right filesystem w/o outage. Also the same issue is with data guard location. I need to move out the data file from data guard as well.
Please suggest/help.
Regards
-Samar-

Datafile information is in the controlfile and you just need to update the information in the controlfile when you move a datafile.
So just do the following things on primary and database.
You can do this when database i s in mount stage or open mode .
Better to do it in mount mode.
PERFORM FOLLOWING OPERATIONS ON PRIMARY
SQL> ashut immediatE
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT
MOVE THE FILE AT OS LEVEL FROM LOCATION1 TO LOCATION2
RENAME THE FILEAT DATABASE LEVEL
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'LOCATION1' TO 'LOCATION2';
THIS COMPLETES THE ACTIVITY ON PRIMARY.
REPEAT ABOVE OPERATIONS AT STANDBY. NO NEED OF ANY EXTRA RECOVERY
iF YOU DON'T WNAT TO SHUTDOWN THE PRIMARY , THEN YOU CAN DO IT BY TAKING THE TABLESPACE OFFLINE.

Oracle 9.2 - DataGuard - Physical vs Logical setup

We have database (in-house) with a few large tables (over 8M rows) and quite a few supplemental tables. Updates to this database are usually happen in batches, but single updates are also possible. We got a back-up server at another location (hosting company) and would like to setup DataGuard between those 2 locations. The connection between those 2 servers is not very stable. Disconnects are pretty often, sometimes it can be a day when connection is being reistablished.
So, the question is - what kind of setup would be a preferred in this type of environment - Logical or Physical and why? Any other comments and recommendations are welcome.
Also, the documentations says that OS for DataGuard setup must be the same - just want to make sure what do they mean by that. Do they mean that we can setup DataGuard on same family OS - like Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003 - or both machines have to have EXACTLY the same OS (win 2003 ser - win 2003 ser)?
Thank you very much

If you are going to set up DG for availability purposes, it will be better to configure physical standby database. In that case, it will be equal (on physical level) database(path for datafiles and some parameters might differ).
Logical standby is harder to manage, but you can get advantages as long as you would be able to change structure and run the database in write mode.
Data Guard configuration migh have different modes (auto and manual), also vast list of parameters allows to regulate methods of logs shipment and application.
Regading configuration, I would recommend to use the same OS (possibly, some variation in patches would not influence Data Guard much)

Oracle Active Dataguard 11g - Passwords

Hi all
Environment description: Production database, 11.2.0.3 version, standalone running on Solaris and an Oracle Active Dataguard database in read only mode, same version and operating system.
Question: The users passwords and sys/system passwrod (orapw ) could be different in the ADG environment? I mean, could the orapwd file and user password be changed in the Dataguard database ?
Thanks a lot.

ThanksHi,
Active dataguard is option after configuring dataguard.
You can put standby database in Open(read only) mode also you can enable Recover(MRP) while open so this can be used for reporting purpose too.
Please refer below links for configuring them.

Dataguard Issue

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a issue with Dataguard setup. Following is the description:
Purpose:
Setup a Dataguard using Oracle Data Guard Solution between Production & DR(Physical standby) databases.
Problem Statement:
In case the network connectivity interrupted between Primary database and Physical Standby database, the Primary database is unable to respond to application servers. This issue occurred when the log shipment process is on. However, if the log shipment of Oracle Data Guard is stopped then production database/ system is working fine even if the connectivity between Primary database and Physical Standby database is interrupted.
Standby database is configured in high performance mode.
Environment:
Database Software Primary and Standby Server – Oracle10g Enterprise with Partition option, 64 bit, Version – 10.2.0.4
Primary Database server is configured with Two Sun M5000 nodes in OS cluster environment, Active and Passive Mode, Sun Cluster Suite 3.2 and OS Solaris 10
Standby Database Server is configured, Server – V890, OS Solaris 10
Java based multiple application are connected with Primary database using JDBC type 4 driver to processed the request.
Two independent IPMP are configured on Primary database server, one for application network and second for data guard network.
Application network are configured with dedicated switch and data guard network is connected with different switch.
Single listener is configured on Physical IP and Application is connecting to database through virtual IP dynamically assigned through cluster service

SQL> SELECT PROTECTION_MODE, PROTECTION_LEVEL, DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL DATABASE_ROLE
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PRIMARY
SQL> SELECT PROTECTION_MODE, PROTECTION_LEVEL, DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL DATABASE_ROLE
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PHYSICAL STANDBY
And this is the Alert log file snapshot and all other necessary information.

Change db name in dataguard

Hello
Has anyone experience changing database name(including datafile locations),sid,data and control file location in operational dataguard setup
My understanding following below steps
1)shutdown primary and standby (stop managed recovery)
2)change db name in init.ora of primary and standby change database name control file location
3)create control file for primary from trace(script) make changes for db name and file locations
4)mount and open primary database
5)create standby control file
6) transfer standby control file to standby
7) mount stand by database and start manage recovery
let me know if these steps can change database name and file locations without any error
Thanks

I would think the control file would have to know about the change.
I would consider the DBNEWID Utility to change the database name if I had to.
If you change the database name the DBID will change.
I'm thinking it would require a standby rebuild.
Here's some more info:

RAC Dataguard Switchover timing taking more than expected time

I have Dataguard setup in RAC environment and my dataguard is also configured and it is working fine.
Our goal is to do the switchover using DGMGRL withing the 5 minutes. We have followed the proper setup and MAA tuning document and everything is working fine, Just the switchover timeing is 8 to 10 minutes. which varies depending on some parameters but not meeting our goal of less than 5 minutes.
The only observation that we have seen is as follow
After switchover to <db_name> comman in DGMGRL
1) it will shutdown abort the 2nd instance
2) transfter all the archivelog ( using LGWR in ASYNC mode) of instance 1
3) Now it looks for the archive log of 2nd instance, this steps take time upto 4 minutes
we do not know why it takes that much time and how to tune this??
4) Now converts primary to standby
5) Now starts the old standby as new primary
here All steps are tunined except the step 3, that where our lot of time is going any Idea or explanation
why it takes such a long time to find the exact archive log 2nd instance (Aborted) to transfer to standby site?
Can any one give explanation or solution to tune this???
