Manual Standby Database from EE to SE1

Can I do a Manual Standby Database from Oracle Enterprise edition (EE) to Oracle Standard Edition One (SE1)?

Hi,
You can created a manual standby for EE, But you need to purchase a seperate licence for standby database also.
See oracle licencing manul in oracle documentation.
Thanks and Regards,

Standby Database from EE to SE1

Can I do a Manual Standby Database from Oracle Enterprise edition (EE) to Oracle Standard Edition One (SE1)?

I would like to simulate a standby database environment.
You can do this by manually transferring archived redo log files using an operating system copy utility or using custom scripts that periodically send archived redo log files from one database to the other.
I'm not sure it possible to create a standby database environment with the primary running Enterprise Edition and the standby running Standard Edition One.
In fact into the note *Certification and Prerequisites for Oracle DataGuard [ID 234508.1]*, you can read:
3.2 Limitations
Primary and Standby Database must
- reside on the same Platform
- use the same Oracle Baserelease (eg. 9.2.0)
Primary and Standby should have
- the same Patchlevel (eg. 9.2.0.3)
- the same OS-Version
- the same Hardware ConfigurationEdited by: AleC on 14-Feb-2011 01:06

Manual Standby Database

Hi,
I have ORACLE 10.2.0.3.0 64 bit SE1 running on a RHEL4 server. I have a backup server on which I need to create a manual standby database for a (poor man's) high availability environment. We have explored RAC, Dataguard etc and given them up for cost considerations. We understand the potential of up to 15 minutes data loss. I know the general steps necessary to set up the manual standby server. For example, I know I need a cold (or hot) backup of the primary to reset my standby database. Then I need to create the standby control file. I need to write deamon processes to ship the archive logs to the standby server and apply those logs to the database. I am new to ORACLE and would appreciate some specific advice.
(1) Should I use DBCA to create the database on the standby server first? My impression is that using DBCA will set up the enterprise manager, isqlplus and the relevevant entries in oratab etc on the standby server. If I simply install ORACLE 10g on the standby and copy the backup files from the primary server, I will not have access to the database tools that come with ORACLE 10g.
(2) Can someone please share the scripts you may have written? or point me to some skeleton scripts?
(3) What are the failure points for manual standby databases? What do I need to pro-actively monitor? For example, if the logs are not being applied properly to the standby database for a prolonged period, I would like to know about it.
(4) What are the procedures for recovering from a failed master database?
(5) Where can I learn more about the subject? I will need specific commands to setup the standby. Are these procedures documented somewhere?
Thanks!

Try this one Manual Standby Database under Oracle Standard Edition
Or search the subject on google, many results.
No, you will not create "standby" using DBCA, you need to use primary's backup to restore on standby server and constantly recover.

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?

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.

Hi,
Can any one please help me How to manually create 11.2.0.2 standalone physical standby database from 2 node RAC (11.2.0.2) database which is running in RHEL5 and ASM plugged in.
DB : 11.2.0.2

1. Used source oracle_home on standby server
2. Created new asm instance and use same naming
3. I took RMAN full backup on source and move it to target
4. I edit initora file remove RAC setting and restore db(also edited listener file)

Switchover of a manual standby database (no data guard)

Hi all,
I have a standby database .
I am using Oracle Standard Edition 10.2.0.4 / 10.2.0.5 so I have build a manual standby .
I am able to do a failover in the case something goes wrong; I was thinking if it is possible to do a manual switchover . and failback.
Do you thick that mounting the primary database and applying ALL archivelogs and online redolog to the standby database is enough ?
Do you think this is a supported operation?
How can I check the current scn of a mounted database? (v$database.current_scn shows 0 until the database is opened )
thnk you for every answer
Andrea

helter_skelter wrote:
hi,
You can see current_scn of standby database in v$database.current_scn. It is null only on primary database if it's in mount state.that's the problem: I am unable to mount both database and to check they have the same current_scn
not all changes are written to ARL so you can't recover standby database to exact the same SCN as primaryI thinks this is because the last changes are only recorder in online redolog, so I was thinking that a possible way to simulate a clean switchover could be as follow:
1 - shutdown immediate the primary database on server prod1
2 - shutdown abort the (manual) standby database on server dr2
3 - copy archivelog, controlfiles, tempfiles, onlinelogs from primary to the standby database
3 - copy controlfiles from standby database to primary database
4 - open the database on server dr2. It should open "read write" cleanly (mount + recover from archivelog + recover from onlinelog + open noresetlogs )
5 - mount the database on server prod1. It should mount as a physical standby database.
What do you think about it?
thanks,
andrea

Manual Standby Database not in sync with missing archivelogs

Hello,
OS: Solaris
DB: Oracle 11.2.0.1 EE
Not Using ASM or RAC
I have a Production database that is in archivelog mode and a Standby DR server.
Both servers (Prod, Standby) have exact same structure and db name/version.
We manually scp archive logs and recover them to a manual standby database via SQL Scripts "cron". (I.E. set autorecovery on; recover standby database;)
We recently got out of sync with our log files and have not been applying them to the standby. As part of Prod Maintenance, these log files were deleted and are not available anymore.
I've tried several ways to "rebuild" our standby database. I have tried to Shutdown prod, backup all the db files and scp them to standby, re-create standby controlfile and startup mount and recover standby.
Every time I try to apply a new archive log via recover standby, these are the errors:
ORA-00279: change 211077622 generated at 1/27/2012 12:18:42 needed for thread 1

ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oradevices/PROD/oraPRODsystem1.dbf'
When I check v$log_history, the new logs have not been applied.
I've also tried the "Restore from incremental backup via SCN" method with same results.
Is there a way to re-create the standby clean and ensure that the log chain that is currently broken gets fixed or reset?
I would eventually like to get DataGuard in here, but that's not the case at the moment.
Thanks for your suggestions.
-Dav

if you are using the cold backup to create the standby database, Check that have you followed the following steps or not.
1. remove
all the datafiles and controlfiles from the standby database.
2. Create a new standby controlfile of the production for standby using the following cmd
'alter database create standby controlfile as 'Location';'
3. move the new controlfile to standby database server location as specified in initialization parameter file.
4. Restore all the datafiles to its appropriate loaction which was taken through cold backup.
5. startup nomount
6. alter database mount standby database;
7. recover standby database.
scp the archive log sequence that is asked by the database, from production.
You can try this steps.

How to shift Manual Standby Database to Primary Database

Hi all,
My Database edition is Oracle 10G standard Edition and runing 24X7 and configure Manual Stand by Database. if I were changing some iniliazation parameter and datafiles.
What can I do ?
i) How to swift the Manual Stand by Database to Primary Database.
ii) What is the procedure by step by step information need.
Regards.....

If you're using a Manual Standby Database I assume you are using a pfile to apply the archived logs transported from the primary database created while creating the Manual Standard. at that time you should have kept the spfile in place too.
If you have done this, then you can simply open an SQL*Plus session connect as sysdba and issue a simple STARTUP command.
This will use the SPFILE by default and your database will be opened normally.
But if you don't have an SPFILE you can always create one, just specify the necessary control files (not the standby control file) in your pfile, remove unwanted parameters and create the spfile, and use the same step as above and issue a STARTUP.
But once you open your standby database normally you will not be able to switch back to standby mode, you have to recreate it again from a cold backup and create a new standby control file.

Tony

Hello;

Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN

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.

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.

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.

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 physical standby database from another physical standby database

hi,
We have one production database and one physical standby of the production. Now we have situation where we need to create one database from either production or from standby. As production is loaded we can not do it using active database option. Now we have the only option to copy the database from standby.
As of now we open the standby and copy it using rman duplicate database and again we put it back to standby mode.
Is it possible to create standby database from standby database only?
Oracle version : 11.1.0.7.0
I have seen procedure allowing to do the same in version 11.2.0.3. I have tried searching for the difference but didn't find when this feature was introduced.
Thanks,
Ketul Patel

Hello;
Active duplicate should work when connected to Standby as source Database. However there's a bug 11715084 which is not fixed until version 11.2.0.4.
If patch 11715084 is available for your version it may work, but all the 11.1.0 are gone so I have no way to test.

Oracle manually standby database with standard edition

Hi, I want to have a plan for disaster. I'm triying with two virtual machines with oracle database 10g on suse linux. I follow these URLs
http://www.dbasupport.com/oracle/ora10g/manual_standby.shtml
http://oramdq.blogspot.com/2009/05/como-configurar-un-sistema-de-alta.html
and it look that work all right.
I know that with manually standby database we applied archived logs, and so, we don't propagate any physical changes to secondary database (standby), for example, if I create a new tablespace, or adding a new datafile to an existing tablespace, it don't work in the secondary database.
Anyone does know how is the better way to apply the physical changes??
Anyone have any scripts to do that?
Thanks in advance.

HI,
Add the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT = AUTO to the primary parameter file, it will solve it.
