Grid Control and Standby Database

I have a (single node) physical standby server for a two node RAC Primary.
I can view the standby server in OEM ( java tool).
How do I add the standby db in my Grid Control ( 10.2.0.4.0 )
regards,Lily

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have grid agent running on the standby node. I have also installed 'yast rpms' and the grid control is able to see the host under the 'target' tab of grid control.
While trying to discover the standby database, the automatic target discover fails.
Then I did the 'manually add', and it complains 'failed to connect'.
I believe, this is mainly because the STANDBY database is in 'MOUNT' state and I am using 'dbsnmp' to connect ot the grid control ( my grid control is configured to register new database as 'dbsnmp').

Install Grid Control and use repository within a DataGuard configuration

Hello,
I need some information if anyone has experience in the following
We have severel database running in DataGuard standby configuration.
I want to install OMS 11.1 and use the repository in a primary and standby configuration.
My configuration will look like this:
host 1     Primary Repository database
     OMS service 1
host 2     Standby Repository database
     OMS service 2
During normal operation i want to have 2 OMS services running.
Whenever a failover is necessary, i want to active my standby database and run OMS service 2.
Can this be a working configuration?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ben

Hi.
As far as I know, the dbconsole installed with the Oracle database applies for only one database on one server. The information accessed by the dbconsole relies within the sysman schema inside the actual database. For a database environment with 10 databases, it is possible to install grid control and manage all these databases despite version and OS. And I think that grid is a good solution to such an environment.
The grid installation itself is a application server installation, and I suggest if possible that you separate the rdbms server and the server that contains the grid control.
The repository database the grid control uses can either be installed in the 10g environment or in the grid control environment (server). You can place the repository in a new database in a separate ORACLE_HOME from the actual grid control application server.
Good luck.

Error while installing EnterpriseManager grid control on existing database

Hi All,
While installing Oracle EnterpriseManager grid control on existing database

Based on the error below:
Could not connect to SYS/(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ceserp.computechcorp.net)(PORT=1543)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=GRID))): ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
It looks like the installer can't connect to your existing database.
Can you ensure that your listener is servicing the already existing database.
lsnrctl status -> will list services
Make sure the database you want to use as your repository is there.

Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

Installing Grid Control and not using ASM

Is it possible to install Grid Control and not be using ASM? We are on the brink of beginning our install (Peoplesoft) and may not use ASM. It seems to me from documentation that I'm reviewing that installing GC assumes you will be using ASM.
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
the Grid Control Repository database does not require ASM. It works perfectly fine with datafiles on a normal filesystem.
Best regards,
Robert

When to install Grid Control and when to just use 10g built in?

1. is Grid Control really the only way to Enterprise Manage multiple databases? (if not, how do i switch from different databases on the 10g built in EM)
2. I only have about 10 databases, is Grid Control overboard?
3. Is it a bad or good idea to install GC on the 10g server?
thanks,

Installing Grid Control and managing DBs on desktop

I want to install Grid Control, and manage DB on my own testing environment on desktops...I tried one time to install Grid Control on my desktop i become very slow. Now i am thinking to buy new Desktop dedicated for Grid Control only and see how it goes...any suggestions?
2nd how i can access my DB on the other desktop? Like i should install agents on that...and how to configure....

When teaching this class I typically have 6 pairs of students sharing a single P4 3Ghz with 4Gb of RAM gridserver. (combined 10.1.0.4 emrep with single OMS on RH 3 AS)
THis is more than enough for the 150 or so targets that we configure during class
The agents are deployed in any of several methods.(the install DVD is probabally the easiest for 1's and 2's) If you are monitoring a db expect to use about 150Mb of RAM for the agent. After setting up the agent ensure that your computer has local security policy configured so that "Login as Batch" is enabled for the user account that will be used for authentication to the desktop. (this also means that you need to have a windows password configured for that account as well).
The database configuration is semi-automatic once you have the agent installed on the desktop (it's called discovery)

Standby database(11g) was still in sync after stopping the primary and standby database listener.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control and ReNew the IP Address

Hello
I have installed Grid Control and added few hosts and was working fine. But I have changed the IP address of Grid Server host. I mean I have been given new IP address for Grid Control host.
I have changes the ip address in /etc/hosts and reboot the server. But Grid Control Console page is not coming up on IE. Help Please...
Regards
Sindhi

It has been sorted out. As Grid Control use FQDN and it do not use IP address. Just I changes the IP address and FQDN was same. I was forgot to change IP address from Terminal Server where I was accessing Grid Control Console using IE. Thanks for you both to response my query.

Can I have a primary database and standby database with a different windows version?

Hi
I need your help.
We need to increase the memory in the server where is the standby database , but first, we need to upgrade the windows version.
The actual version is windows 2003 standard edition 64 bits
The new version will be windows 2003 enterprise edition 64 bits
This difference in windows version between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary and standby databases ??
What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?
The databases are in SQL SERVER 2005.
Thanks.
Loreinn

This difference in windows version between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary
and standby databases ??<o:p></o:p>
There is no issue with database synchronization as long as SQL Server is of same version.<o:p></o:p>
What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?<o:p></o:p>
OS(Windows version) has no restriction for using SQL server 2005 database mirroring/log shipping. You can go with upgrade without any worries on SQL
database side.<o:p></o:p>

How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux

Hi ,
How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux . Both my primay and standby are 3 node cluster each.
Can you please suggest a good link and brief steps .
Thanks

Are you trying to setup a new standby or sync an existing standby database?
OK I see it
"standby is behind the primary"
So you have a gap.
I would check both alert logs for a cause. You might find something like this
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.Look for ORA-00308 and ORA-27037 and ORA-16055.
There's no sense fixing the gap unless the cause is fixed too.
Also check out this post from a few days ago its dealing with similar issues.

SCN number difference in primary and standby databases

Hi All,
Is it possible that primary database SCN is 20 and standby database SCN is 22 ? If yes , how it works ?
Thankyou !

I agree that it is possible depending on your setup. However, I read your posting and BLOG entry but it does not address out the Standby database has a GREATER SCN than the Primary.
The answer will depend on the type of standby database you have configured (LOGICAL vs PHYSICIAL) and perhaps if it is a SNAPSHOT Standby that has been used and not rolledback.
In what I would consider "Normal" situations the SCN of the standby database would always either be at the same SCN or be lagging.
I have not tested it but I could see where if you had a standby database that you converted to a SNAPSHOT Standby (11g ability), made changes to the standby and had not converted it back to a normal Standby then your SCN can be ahead in the standby because the changes had not been discarded yet.

Grid Control and CEP

Hi,
We are building for one of our clients a solution that is comprized from several products. One of them is CEP. For all theother products we can use Grid Control to "watch" the status and "health" of the products but we could not find any reference to CEP.
We know that we can get the statistics on the EPNs using Visualizer or JMX but we prefer to have it all in one place. Is it possible to use Grid Control?
Is there any information regarding Grid Control and CEP?
Thanks,
Shimon

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

GRID Control and management hostname

With a HA deployment you have to set :
emd.properties:#AgentListenOnAllNICs=FALSE
This is ok for me but the servers have 3 differents IP adresses (3 differents hostname), one is foucuss for management tasks and this is not the name registered by the Agent.
Do you know if it is possible to run host scripts (external jobs) with Grid Control and to specify the hostname where these jobs have to run by default the jobs will run on the hostname registered by the Agent.

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

Goldengate between active and standby database server

Hi:
I want to make goldengate connection between active and standby database servers (bidirectional). is it possible?
if yes what steps is required rather than active-active connection.
PLease help!!!
Regards,
Abhishek

What do you mean by "standby" server? If you are referring to a Data Guard standby, how would bidirectional work? That's why one is primary, the other is standby.
If you are doing A-A, your "standby" is just another master in the N-way master architecture, so you already have a bi-di setup, right? Are you looking to replace Streams with GG?
