    Since database is in No Archive mode why it is giving ORA-16005 error while starting a databse in ready only mode ????

    ORA-16005 database requires recovery
    Cause: The database requires recovery, and therefore cannot be opened for read-only access by this instance.
    Action: Perform the necessary recovery and re-open for read-only access.
    Oracle says as above. Please perform the recovery and then open the database in read only mode. We are unaware about what happened before.

    could you help on this...?
    waiting for your favorable reply,
    thanks in advance..
    Regards

    Hi;
    This error occurs when you have run a switchover/ failover, you may have two parallel standby's but when you pass the command for switchover the one standby is not aware of what you have done.
    The point is that all standby should know who is your primary & standby's should also be aware of each other in their "pfiles" now, you should either recreate the standby or open with reset logs.
    ora-600 occurs due to different incarnation.
    Hope this will help you
    if you switch multiple logfiles in primary, & run >>
    alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
    your standby will start syncing.
    Hope this will help you

  • ORA-00235 Standby Database Controlfile problem

    Dear fellow dbas,
    I am just starting to become acquainted with high availability and have to solve following problem.
    We have a RAC database with a standby database that is out of sync. In fact the standby database is running in async mode but archived redo logs are not applied.
    They are successfully forwarded from the primary instance to the standby db though. Looking at the alert.log I discovered an ORA-00235 error - control file fixed table inconsistent due to concurrent update.
    As a result of this I have a huge gap between the primary and standby database.
    Can you please give me a step to step tutorial, how I can resolve this issue?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Many thanks,
    Sebastian

    Hello Anand,
    I am using 11.1.0.7.0.
    My standby database is a cluster database as well. I shut both instances down using srvctl and created a standby controlfile from my primary instance, which I copied to the respective locations referred to in the spfile of my dataguard database. Afterwards I started up and issued a ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    The database does not open and the alert.log states ORA-01124 "cannot recover datafile 1 - file is in use or recovery".
    Next, the background media recovery process was shut down.
    What should I do, to get my standby back running?
    Should I place the primary database in backup mode and copy the datafiles to my standby db?
    Afterwards I would create a standby controlfile again and overwrite the standby ones.
    Maybe you assist in pointing at the next steps.
    Many thanks,
    Sebastian

  • Standby Database with Recovery Manager

    Logical standby database resides on another server. some archive log files are not synced with standby database
    I want to recreate standby database with rman
    Any step by step documentation ?

    Before you recreate all and everything, try the troubleshoot hints in the document mentioned in the previous post.

  • DBXML database requires recovery often

    I am running a dbxml database (2.4.13, DB: 4.7.25) with transactions. There are not many calls to the database daily (<200 on average), however it keeps exiting with an exception requesting that recovery be run:
    Db Error: PANIC: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
    almost daily, and interfering with the full system operation since it requires the database. I am not sure why this is happening so often. Any suggestions?
    Doug

    There is a strict requirement that write operations are done one at a time. You can get by without it if things are kinda slow but not consistenly. You can manage it with your own coding locks. Also, I experienced lots of issues with recovery when I had my database on a san mount. When I switched it to local machine, things got lots better.

  • MANAGED RECOVERY AT STANDBY DATABASE REQURING OLD ARCHIVELOGS ORA-00308

    Oracle 9.2.0.4
    HP-UX 11.11i
    The database in Archivelog mode, single standby database in managed recovery
    mode.
    keeping standby in sync with manual applying the ARCHIVELOG from primary to
    standby database.
    primary database was 3 REDO log members of 100 MB with 1 member each.
    what i did, 1 drop and re-create the INACTIVE REDO group for all three, and
    make them
    5 REDO logs of 200 MB with 1 member each,
    then in order to keep fresh copy of primary database onto standby database, i
    send the cold backup after 15 days (last week) with standby controlfile.
    now, with that standby controlfile and the database, i can mount the database
    but while to open the database, receives messages as , it requiring the
    ARCHIVELOGS generated log time ago.
    changes the REDO groups from 3 to 5 and size 100 to 200 MB at INACTIVE state

  • ORA-01152 -- When Bringing Up Standby Database

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to bring a standbye database on the same server as my primary database. i'm doing this to play around, hoping to do it with PRD using separate servers. I have found several good step by step references for doing this. I'm currently using:
    http://www.dbaclick.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=366&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0
    I have tried several things to get this up. I have shutdown the primary db and manually copied the datafiles to the standby location and then created a standby control file. I have also tried taking an image copy of the datafiles using RMAN and then creating the standby control file. Both produce same result. I can startup mount the Standby db but when i try to open the standby db in read only mode i get the following:
    ORA-16004: backup database requires recovery
    ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
    ORA-01110: data file 1:
    'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\standby\SYSTEM01.DBF'
    Does anyone have any idea as to why i'm getting this? Is there a preferred way to copy the primary db's datafiles to create standby. According to my instructions the manually copied datafiles shoudl be taken BEFORE the standby control file is generated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... i've been wrestling with this for far too long.
    Thanks,

    i got it to go. I believe what i did wrong was not configure my parameters files correctly. LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 was erroring out so the archive logs were not applied to the standby database. I manually copied and applied the archive logs to my Standbye. I was then able to open in read only. After that I had to create a password file for my standby which made the LOG_ARCIVE_DEST_2 parameter work.
    I'm good to go... thanks

  • Error while trying to open physical standby database - (DATA GUARD)

    Hi Everyone,
    I have problems in opening the database of the physical standby in read- write mode/ read only mode.

    SCN can be differ in standby and it can be behind to primary based on the backup you have restored. Of course by performing recovery you can synchronize standby with primary database. You can use incremental backups for standby using link http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/
