Dgmgrl

while we do a switchover using DGMGRL, the instances are shut down but do not come up automatically!!
DGMGRL> switchover to 'ORCL';
Performing switchover NOW, please wait...

Switchover succeeded, new primary is "ORCL"
how can i have the DGMGRL automatically start the instances???

Yes dgmgrl is a tool the Oracle Dataguard Broker, this tool offer the possibility of make more easy the switchover and failover operations, you must see the next link for more information.

Can you help me ?
Regards,

Check that listener for your standby database has proper handler for PIJ10G2_DGMGRL service name. Use static registration for this.
Then, Protection Mode: MaxAvailability implies SYNC log transport mode. Check this option too in your log_archive_dest_NN settings.

Manual\DGMGRL Switchover Standby ora-01033 error

I have created a standby server for my SAP application as a part of test Disaster Recovery scenario. I can see the redo logs getting applied from primary to standby. However when I manually switchover the roles i encounters ORA -01033 error at NEW PRIMARY server and logs are also not getting applied in this scenario.
When i again changes the roles it works fine. I am not sure what is cause of ORA -01033 error. Here are the detailed tnsnames.ora of both sites.

I think something is really wrong with the database. However seems standby is in sync with primary.
Any help here? Thanks.

Question re dgmgrl switchover

oracle 10.2.0.4 on OEL 5.4
My lab is Two machines running under VMworkstation on my laptop
Primary database 'houston' is on server vmlnx01
physical standby 'smyrna' is on server vmlnx02.
Everything seems to be working - albiet a bit slow - but when I tested the switchover . . . this log is from the primary - houston on vmlnx01

DGMGRL Error for TNS

Hi All
If I fire the following switchover command I get the error and after this if I manually start the instances the roles are switched over. Also there is no error in switching over manually. Can anyone please tell me how to rectify this error so that I don't have to start the databases manually after firing the following command?
NOTE - On both nodes there is the entry for each database in respective tnsnames.ora and tnsping is working and on each node. There is the entry in listener.ora for the database the node is hosting and the listener is listening to it.
Thanks in Advace

So I resolved it by using:
The following format in listener.ora for each database on each node respectively and reloading listener.
(SID_DESC =

(SID_NAME = DG1)
(ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/ora1010)
(SERVICE_NAME = DG1.world)
Now the output is:

Review the basics:
1. ORACLE_HOME
2. ORACLE_SID
3. ping
4. tnsping
5. the docs

Why I cannot change a property using dgmgrl?

How to get that work?

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.

UPDATE STANDBY SITE NAME with DATAGUARD BROKE "DGMGRL"

I've a llitlle PB with my Dataguard
After shutdown both sites to increase SGA size in Primary site and update in secondary site too
I start the Primary site without Pb.
But the Secondary site don't want to start.
When I do a startup it fails.i check in Dataguard and i found
The Pb is the secondary site name is not ('DMWEBDG_srvsdmwebp02')
bu only "DMWEBDG"
And I can't find any way to update the site name in Dataguarg.
the Alter command doesn't explain very well.
Soes anyone knows how to do it?

DGMGRL configuration doubts

Hi all,
i have configured the Datagaurd max performance Mode in 11gr2 and everything is fine.
but the StaticConnectIdentifier value has the IP of the Primary database srever instead of HOSTNAME.
can anyone identify or hlep where i need to change this.
below
Connected.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration - COLDGCONFIG
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Databases:
PCOLPRIM - Primary database
PCOLSTBY - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
SUCCESS
SNAP of details for below command.
DGMGRL> show database verbose 'PCOLPRIM';
Database - PCOLPRIM
Role: PRIMARY
Intended State: TRANSPORT-ON
Instance(s):
POZW1COL
Properties:
DGConnectIdentifier = 'POZW1COL_PRD'
ObserverConnectIdentifier = ''
below you could see the Host has the IP instead of hostname.
StaticConnectIdentifier = '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(*HOST=10.10.200.200*)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PCOLPRIM_DGMGRL.dummy.com)(INSTANCE_NAME=POZW1COL)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))'

Hi,
You can change with EDIT command
DGMGRL> edit database PCOLPRIM set property StaticConnectIdentifier = '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<hostname>)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PCOLPRIM_DGMGRL.dummy.com)(INSTANCE_NAME=POZW1COL)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))'and I think you must add hostnames to HOSTS file

DGMGRL object "pc01sby3" was not found

Hi Guru's,
I created a logical standby database using Oracle EM 10g Grid control
My primary db_unique_name is P01PRMY
Logical standby db_unique_name is PC01SBY3
After creating logical standby database, i check with DGMGRL
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration
Naem:         DGConfig1
Enabled:     Yes
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Database:
PC01PRMY     -     Primary database
PC01SBY1     -     Physical standby database
PC01SBY3     -     Logical Standby database
Dast-Start Failover:DISABLED
Current status for "DGConfig1":
SUCCESS
But when i do
DGMGRL> show database verbose PC01SBY3
object "pc01sby3" was not found
Why this happens

DGMGRL> show database verbose PC01SBY3
object "pc01sby3" was not found
Why this happens
At first look, can you check broker log files even from primary and also logical standby?
Does it same happened for Physical standby?

DGMGRL In Dataguard

Hi,
I have two question regarding dataguard.
1) If One archivelog is missing from Primary Database without Applying in Standby Database, then what will happen?
2) What is DGMGRL?
Thanks...

1) If archivelog is missing from Primary Database without Applying in Standby Database, then what will happen?It is obvious that the standby database would go out of sync. If the archivelog is missing and you have the backup of it, then use this backup and restore and recover it on the standby, so that it would be in sync.
If you do not have the archive and you do not have the backup of the missed archive, they you'll have to use roll forward method to get your standby in sync. For this take a look at http://shivanandarao.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/roll-forward-physical-standby-database-using-rman-incremental-backup/
2) What is DGMGRL?DGMGRL is an utility that is used to monitor the standby databases. For this refer
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28295/dgmgrl.htm

ORG probably went down. Check the alert.log for ORG.
