Need advice on another standby in another physical location

We have a 11.2.0.3 RAC Primary two nodes on one location and RAC Standby on another location.
Now we decided to add another standby in another location , standalone node.
How to configure that standby?
Lets say our Primary db is called PRDB, and then standby RAC db name is PRDB, db_unique_name is called PRDBS.
WE would like this new standby db on standalone server called db as PRDB, and db_unique_name is also PRDB.
How do we proceed from there if we would like to utilize dataguard broker?
Thank you in advance.

Now we decided to add another standby in another location , standalone node.
How to configure that standby?You can configure number of standby databases depending on how many log_archive_dest_n you have.
Lets say our Primary db is called PRDB, and then standby RAC db name is PRDB, db_unique_name is called PRDBS.
WE would like this new standby db on standalone server called db as PRDB, and db_unique_name is also PRDB.Even if you have 10 standby database, DB_NAME should be same even in primary & all standby databases
DB_UNIQUE_NAME should be different on each standby database, it's an unique where you can distinguish Each standby database.
See also:-
DB_UNIQUE_NAME specifies a globally unique name for the database. Databases with the same DB_NAME within the same DB_DOMAIN (for example, copies of a database created for reporting or a physical standby) must have a unique DB_UNIQUE_NAME. Every database's DB_UNIQUE_NAME must be unique within the enterprise.

How do we proceed from there if we would like to utilize dataguard broker? Once you build standby database,
1) enable broker
2) add database.

  • Need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on orac

    need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on oracle 10G r2
    I like to have have a Primary ( 10 node RAC cluster ) shipping to a physical standby ( 3 node RAC cluster ) shipping using LGWR .
    So I have a lot of questions
    1) What will be the performance overhead on the Primay if we are using LGWR SYNC option .
    2) Does the overhead depends on the physical distance between primary & physical
    3)Do you recommend a seperate private network for shipping logs between primary and standby.
    4) I know that DGMGRL supports RAC only from 10g. So are there any know issues are bugs using DGMGRL is RAC environments.
    Thanks in advance

    Generally you should have same CPU architecture and same operating system but it's not mandatory to have the exactly the same CPU model, the same number of CPU, the same RAM size etc.
    Actually starting with 11.1 you don't need to have the same hardware setup: it 's even possible to have primary and standby database on different platforms: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/standby.htm#i72053.

  • Cascading physical standby from another physical standby for primary rac

    my supplier told me that is possible mount a cascade physical standby from a physical standby for my rac installation.
    but according the note "409013.1" seems not:
    "Cascading a logical or physical standby database from a physical standby database is supported as long as the primary database is not a RAC database and is not part of a Data Guard Broker configuration - the support status of this configuration is unchanged from previous documentation."
    before was possible? do you know why not now?
    has anyone mounted? can I allow my provider to mount?
    oracle version: 10.2.0.2.0

    Is it possible this scenario?YES

  • Yet another standby question...

    Hi gurus,
    Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
    On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
    The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
    Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
    db_name YELLOW - primary prod
    db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
    and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
    But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
    Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
    Thanks as usual,
    Maria

    well, that's a good question! :)
    because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
    Thanks for writing to me,
    M.

  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.

    There is a new [[what is firefox sync?| sync]] feature available by default with firefox 4, you may be interested in that. There are also other editions of firefox that are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox,_Portable_Edition portable], and can be installed on a USB stick for instance.
    The default location of the profile will not be ?c:desktop?, and if Windows crashes you will need to recover before you can use firefox.
    It is however sensible to backup your profile, and you can back it up to or use it from almost anywhere see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information#w_restoring-to-a-different-location you can use the profile from a USB stick for instance, but there are slight problems with the way Windows assigns drive letters as you plug in and unplug drives. The easiest solution may be to leave the profile where it is, or move it to another fixed drive, and make a backup somewhere else.

  • Standby database off of another standby

    Using the 10g R1 Data Guard - is it possible/sensible to create a standby database (call it stdby2) from another standby (say stdby1)? Perhaps it doesn't make sense since there are no added benefits - can anyone please comment on this?
    Thanks,
    Sophie

    It is possible to replicate to a second standby from another, it is called Cascaded Destinations and is covered in the data guard documentation. Indeed each standby can support up to 9 other cascaded destinations.
    There are several reasons why you may choose do do this the most obvious is the reduction in load on the primary system that results from redo transmission. I worked on one site where the link between the primary and standby was slow (34Mb) so duplicate transmission was not feasible.
    Hope this helps

  • Create standby from another standby!

    Dear All,
    My database is 10gR2 and OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
    I have an existing setup of primary database and standby database that is working fine.
    I want to add another standby database but i can only make changes to the existing stand by database, not want to disturb or restart primary database. I want to say i want to create a standby database for another standby database that is not in an open mode.
    I have tried my best to search the scenario on net but couldn't find any help. Please refer an article or document which can help me.
    Regards, Imran

  • Need to call a repaint from another class

    I need to call a repaint from another class, but since I can't make the paint() method a static one, it will not let me access the repaint method, any ideas? thanks guys
    Conor

    ok here's a very basic idea of whats goin on...
    <code>
    MainFrame class (in which the paint method resides)
    public void paint()
    // draw lines
    // opens an instance of the settings window
    void procSettings_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if(procRunning)
    procRunning = false;
    timer.stop();
    procPaused = true;
    procSettings s = new procSettings();
    s.setSize(370, 467);
    s.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    s.setResizable(false);
    s.setVisible(true);
    ProcSettings class
    if(certain condition)
    // reset the lines of the graph
    // REPAINT <--- I want to know how to call this repaint, MainFrame.repaint() does not work

  • Standby of another standby??

    Hi!!!
    I have in my mind a structure of standbys, but i don't know if it is possible....
    Do you know if i can create a physical logical standby from a physical standby??
    If i can, the procedure of creation would be the same one that the creation a logical standby?
    thanks for the info!!!!

    Yes, you can have archived redo logs from the first physical standby(let us call it standby1) to new standby(let us call it standby2) after after it receives from primary.
    This is how you do it.
    1.On standby1 create standby redo logs same size as primary.
    Does not have to be same numbe of groups.
    If primary has 6 groups you can create 3 groups on standby1.
    2. in standby1 init.ora file.
    log_archive_dest_2 = 'service=standby2 optional reopen=60 max_failure=10
    Must use arch process.
    standby_archive_dest=local (local archive log destination)
    3. in standby2 init.ora file
    standby_archive_dest=local (your local archive log destination)
    Server=standby1
    client=standby2
    Hope this helps.

  • Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

    I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
    This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
    Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
    Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
    Much obliged for any input

    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
    Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED.  Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
    Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .
