Monitoring of Standby Instance via Grid Control

Hi DBAs,
I have setup the Data Guard single instance to single instance in Oracle 10.2.0.4. Is it possible that if I install the agent on standby database server, can I monitor these server using Grid Control. Also is there any other tool for monitoring of standby databases (database is applying the archives, latency or any other issue) ?
Thanks
-Samar-

Hi; Yes u can. Check the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b25159/monitor.htm#i1007244
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/gui.htm#DGBKR400
You can also use some scripting to monitor your dataguard status.

There are also some 3th party tools for dataguard monitoring & managing purpose.

UDM on physical standby database in grid control 11.1

I am getting
Test Results

What credential is defined?
Fairly certain only a sysdba connection will work unless the recovery is stopped and switched to read-only. Or when it becomes primary ...

Creating standby database through Grid Control.

Hi,
I want to know if source database which we term as primary database goes down during Db creation process when given option of "Perform a live backup of primary database" during Add standby wizard in Grid Control. Please let me know if people have already tested it in their environments.
I appreciate you all for looking into my forum.
Regards,
Gaurav

No, one of the options for performing this task is to create from a Live db.
A couple of things to note here:
You must be using spfile
If you are not using the default port of 1521 then you must also have the local_listener parm set
I recommend using the "db_unique_name" option to make it easier to manager in OEM (for the target name)
Hope this helps,

Monitoring a 9.2.0.3 database instance in Grid Control 11gR1

Hi,
we configured EM Grid Control 11gR1 for monitoring some database instances. The monitoring works fine for the versions 9.2.0.1, 10.2.0.4 and 11gR2 , but we cannot configure it for version 9.2.0.3 and version 9.2.0.6.
The main page of 9.2.0.3 and 9.2.0.6 instances reports "Metric Collection Error" and every configuration (with Statspack or without, enable metrics or disable them) gives the same message.
I know that EM 11R1 is certified only for 9.2.0.8 but it seems strange that it works for version 9.2.0.1 (even if most features are disabled) and it don't works for the others 9.2 versions.
Someone has the same issue? Any suggestion ?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
can you verify if the DBSNMP account is accessible (e.g. account is not locked).
Please have a look at Note:340158.1 for some debugging information around this error.

Error while setting up Standby database using Grid Control

any ideas?

There is no problem tnsnames.ora & listener.ora since I am getting the same error for just standby backup also.

Generic Note
Hi Marcelo, the note you sited Creating Standby Database With Enterprise Manager Failing [ID 1400482.1
Says something a little different than what you tried.
You did RECOVER DATABASE for manual recover and the error says use backup control file.
For a standby to do manual recovery it's
*alter database recover standby database ;*
It may behave better.
But the note implies to just apply enough redo to have the standby consistent enough to turn on flashback.
This can be done by starting managed recovery and applying some redo log sequences.
So the flashback being turned on is too soon, but should have worked anyway. I think it would turn on managed recovery though.
This also happens since the job doesn't use dorecover since recovery can be done with managed recovery.
So most likely there isn't enough activity on the primary and the online redo has not been archived yet.
So some log switches on the primary will send enough redo to get consistent so you can turn on flashback and finish it.
*So why did it happen?*
Possibly
Bug 13250486 - ADD STANDBY DATABASE FOR TARGET WITH FLASHBACK ON FAILS WITH ERROR
Base bug 12923814 FLASHBACK AND ARL DELETION OPTIONS IGNORED IN ADD STANDBY DATABASE WIZARD
fixed in Grid Control 12.1c
There is currently no patch available for 11.1.0.1 Grid Control. We would have to open a bug to confirm you hit this in 11.1.0.1 and get a patch.
*A workaround would be to turn off flashback at the primary then try to create the standby.*
*Once the standby is created you can turn flashback back on for the primary and if required, the standby.*
You can try again to see, or finish the standby manually as I stated above.
I will still need the diagnostic information below.
Action Plan
=========
The product verion in this SR is for 12.1.0.1 Grid Control. I assume it should be 11.1 since you stated it is.
Grid Control job log that shows the errors.
alert logs from the primary and standby.
Please run these two diagnostic scripts and upload the output.

Creating physical standby db through grid control 11g fails with "default listener is not running"

On step 4/6, i am getting error like below
ErrorExamine and correct the following error(s), then re-try the operation.Default Listener in Grid Infrastructure - The default listener in the grid infrastucture is not running.
I have the listener running on grid user and grid home, 11.2 in both primary and standby.
During these steps till 4, its no where asked for grid user password.
Not sure how it will detect the grid home listener.
Listener is running with default port 1521 on both the servers primary and standby
On the step 4 screen the other option for default listener is non-default listener and its pointing to db home and not grid home.
So i guess oracle is looking for the listener to be up on the db home and not on grid home causing the issues,
if so how to fix this ?
I am using role separation, separate user for grid and oracle homes grid and oracle user and all are on 11.2.0.1 db + grid

Hello again;
Check the solution in this: ( and note the multiple versions of oracle it covers )

Backup via Grid Control backs up to wrong location.

When creating a backup job via CG it seems to be backing up to the default directory of $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. However, rman is configured to backup to a different location. Below is the backup script that GC created.
If I manual run backup database from RMAN the backup goes to the correct location.
$rman_script="run {
allocate channel oem_backup_disk1 type disk maxpiecesize 5 G;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' database;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
backup tag '%TAG' current controlfile;
release channel oem_backup_disk1;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
release channel;
&br_save_agent_env();
&br_prebackup($l_db_connect_string, $l_is_cold_backup, $l_use_rcvcat, $l_db_10_or_higher, $l_backup_strategy, "FALSE");
my $result = &br_backup();
exit($result);

I believe it's the one holding the rman repository. Is your rman repository on a windows box? Make sure that account has log on as batch job privilege.

Snapshot report showing wrong instance on grid control!!!

Hi
On one of the cluster environments, Even though I run snapshot report on instance 2, report shows instance 1. This i happening on one set of cluster environment. Other cluster instances are working fine.
Let me know if you have seen such behavior and fix...
Thanks,

It does not matter how many instances you have running in a RAC cluster ... you have one and only one database.
Define your use of the term "snapshot." We have no idea to what you are referring.

Monitor standby database via OEM using non-sysdba account

Hi,
Is it at all possible to monitor a standby database via grid control using non-sysdba account so that targets are seen as up (green arrows visible etc)
We audit sys operations and as the SYS user is the account that currently monitors the standby we are seeing our audit file dest fill too quickly. We need to keep auditing on though.
I would like to do this using dbsnmp, though are there any roles or specific privs that need to be granted to do this? so far i am unable to do this.
Would welcome any advice on this one.
Thanks,
firefly.

Thanks for reply robert.
we are using active for one standby but not using active for 2 other standby db's.
I just wondered what the SYSDBA priv used (what actual priv etc) to be able to monitor standby dbs effectively, whereas non-SYSDBA accounts are unable to.
Thanks,
firefly

Configuring DG's Standby database in 10g Grid Control monitoring.

Hi.
I am facing issues to configure "for monitoring" the standby instance of a 10g database. If someone on this forum have experience, please share, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
/SKH

FYI we have a tar open on this "standby databases not monitored correctly" ie grid is trying to collect metric from a sb db when it can not b/c its only mounted. The fix will be in 10.2.0.4. We are pushing for a back port to 10.2.0.3 b/c we missed a corruption in our sb db b/c we could not monitor the values and apply different templates.

Trying to monitor my sql servers in OEM Grid Control

Hello,
I have Oracle 10g OEM and I want to start monitoring my sql server databases. I've got the plug-in all setup but when it displays under my "Databases" it shows and status "down". My sql server host is running, listener running, and database is up but when I try to "configure" it gives the "Failed to connect to the database: Io exception: Connection reset The Connect Descriptor...." error. Can someone please help??? I would like to know....
1) under the monitor user name is says "dbsnmp" so do I have to create a dbsnmp user on the sql database side?
2) do I keep the same port number (1521) or do I put what the sql server db is listening on (1433)?????? - for the configuration in OEM
3) If i go to the "host" under "targets" it shows that the agent is "up" but the database instance is "down and the listener is "up.
