How to migrate 11gr2 standby database from file system to ASM

Hi,
I have 11gR2 data guard setup of 2 node RAC primary and stand alone standby database.
Primary RAC uses ASM, and stand alone standby DB uses normal file system for data files and archive logs. I want to migrate the stand alone standby DB from file system to ASM.
If you have any ideas or documents on it, kindly please share with me.
Thanks in advance,
Mahipal

Hi Fran,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I have another question, I want to have standby in ASM; but ASM home is grid home(CRS+ASM) in 11gr2.
I don't want to configure CRS now for standby, only want to have ASM storage. s it possible to install the grid home only for ASM and not for CRS?
On a stand-alone system, there are still CRS/Grid components that are a part of the ASM install. You cannot NOT install it.

Hello;
Script has to be run from auxiliary.
Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN

connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.

Restored standby database from primary; now no logs are shipped

Hi
We recently had a major network/SAN issue and had to restore our standby database from a backup of the primary. To do this, we restored the database to the standby, created a standby controlfile on the primary, copied this across to the control file locations and started in standby recover and applied the logs manually/registered to get it back up to speed.
However, no new logs are being shipped across from the primary.
Have we missed a step somewhere?
One thing we've noticed is that there is no RFS process running on the standby:
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
PROCESS CLIENT_P SEQUENCE# STATUS
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
MRP0 N/A 100057 WAIT_FOR_LOG
How do we start this? Or will it only show if the arc1 process on the primary is sending files?
The arc1 process is showing at OS level on the primary but I'm wondering if its faulty somehow?
There are NO errors in the alert logs in the primary or the standby. There's not even the normal FAL gap sequence type error - in the standby it's just saying 'waiting for log' and a number from ages ago. It's like the primary isn't even talking to the standby. The listener is up and running ok though...
What else can we check/do?
If we manually copy across files and do an 'alter database register' then they are applied to the standby without issue; there's just no automatic log shipping going on...
Thanks
Ross

Hi all
Many thanks for all the responses.
The database is 10.2.0.2.0, on AIX 6.
I believe the password files are ok; we've had issues previously and this is always flagged in the alert log on the primary - not the case here.
Not set to DEFER on primary; log_archive_dest_2 is set to service="STBY_PHP" optional delay=720 reopen=30 and log_archive_dest_state_2 is set to ENABLE.
I ran those troubleshooting scripts, info from standby:

NOW - before you say it - :) - yes, I'm aware that fal_client as STBY_R1P and fal_server as R1P are incorrect - should be PHP - but it looks like it's always been this way! Well, as least for the last 4 years where it's worked fine, as I found an old SP file and it still has R1P set in there...?!?
Any ideas?

How to create a standby redolog from rac to non rac ??

Hi,
How to create a standby redolog from rac to non rac DR setup..???
in rac we can create with specifying thread number for each instances..... but this will be replicating to standby ....so how this will act/create on single DR??
pls help

854393 wrote:
Thanks Shivanandha,
(maximum number of logfiles for each thread + 1) * maximum number of threads
Using this equation reduces the likelihood that the primary instance's log writer (LGWR) process will be blocked because a standby redo log file cannot be allocated on the standby database. For example, if the primary database has 2 log files for each thread and 2 threads, then 6 standby redo log file groups are needed on the standby database.In maximum performance mode you can keep same number of redo logs but having one more redo log member for each thread is recommended and mandtory for other protection modes.

Yes, even your DR is RAC or non-RAC, you must have both threads, because each instance information exist on own thread, So to perform redo transition from both the instances, you must have both standby redo log threads even though if it is non an RAC DR.
Hope This helps.

If the production database i down, how to switch to standby database using the replication environment in ASsE

This question is in Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
if the production database is down, how to switch to standby database using the replication environment in ASE

Assuming you're referring to Sybase's Replication Server (repserver) product ...
Repserver moves data changes from one database to another.
Repserver can't 'switch' your application to use a different database; something outside of repserver has to do the actual switching.
If your application happens to be connecting to your ASE via Sybase's OpenSwitch (or similar) product, then OpenSwitch would be responsible for switching your application to use the standby database. Whether you have OpenSwitch perform the switch automatically, or via a manual command, is up to your BCP requirements.
If your application connects directly to ASE then you'll have to decide how/when to get your application to switch to the standby database. In the simplest form this would require shutting down the application, making sure replication is quiesced (ie, all in-flight transactions have been applied to the standby database), modify the interfaces/sql.ini file (used by your application) to point to the standby database, make any customized changes to the standby dataserver/database (eg, unlock application logins, take databases out of 'dbo use only' mode, etc), and startup the application (at this point it should connect to the standby database per the changes to the interfaces/sql.ini file).

Pl do not post duplicates - Issue in configuring Standby Database from Active database in 11g by RMAN

Standby database from RMAN backup

I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.
Database : Oracle 10G R2
OS : Windows Server 2003
My backup script is
configure channel device type disk format 'J:\RMAN\RMAN_df_%U' maxpiecesize 2048M;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup database;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup current controlfile for standby FORMAT='J:\RMAN\RMAN_sc_%U';
For recovery of a standby database,
I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.
set ORACLE_SID=NGINPROD
set dbid 820336652
STARTUP NOMOUNT
RESTORE STANDBY CONTROLFILE FROM 'I:\TEMP\RMAN_Backup\RMAN\RMAN_SC_2UMIUJM1_1_1';

Till this step I do not encounter any issues, but when i try to recover the database I am hit with the below error.

Here's the standard dcoumentation on the procedure :

Appendix "F Creating a Standby Database with Recovery Manager" of the "Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration" guide.
I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230
A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

Hi
For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
You can give ma try as well.

How to remove logical standby database configuration cleanly

Hello,
We are on RHL with 11.2.0.3 DB version. Due to various unknown reasons we would like to recreate logical standby database and for that purpose I would like to cleanly remove/uninstall/drop LOGICAL STANDBY DATABASE from the DATA GUARD configuration we have.
The DG setup already has 1 PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE which is working fine. PRIM,PHYSICAL, and LOGICAL all are on different HOSTS. Could you please guide or suggest us exact MOS Doc id regarding this? I have found one MOS Doc id which is close enough but its steps include removing dg configuration completely which I don't want. Only Logical Standby database needs to be remove cleanly so that it can be installed again properly.
We are using GRID CONTROL and DATA GUARD BROKER.
Bundle of thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Hello;
I would review this Oracle note:

How to convert logical standby database to Physical Standby Database

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert logical standby database(10.2.0.3) to Physical Standby Database(10.2.0.3)? Is this possible? If so,please give me steps for it.
Thanks.
Regards,
RJ.

I don't believe this to be possible. One of the steps invloved in the creation of a logical standby is the following:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
This makes the logical standby a different incarnation of the db from the primary.
A physical standby is a binary copy of a primary db, a logical standby is a completely seperate db that just happens to get sql statements applied to it that are generated from a primary db, but is open read/write.
One avenue, though would be if you had flashback database enabled and you flashed back all the way to when the db was a physical standby and then rolled forward with the archived redo logs.
It's somewhat unlikely you are in that situation, but that is a possibility.
Indeed the 11g snapshot standby does this sort of thing:

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.
