ORA-600 starting MRP on Physical Standby

Hello everybody
My enviroment:
Primary Site: SLES 10 SP2, Oracle 11gR1 U7
Standby Site:SLES 10 SP2, Oracle 11gR1 U7
I have a big problem starting MRP on my physical standby. After I restored standby database from a Level 0 Backup, I start MRP (SQL>recover managed standby database disconnect ) and some lines appears at alert log file with ora-600 error, something like this:
mrp0 - ora-00600 arguments:[KGHALO4]
mrp0 - ora-00600 arguments[kghfrh1]
mrp0 - ora-00600 arguments[17113]
It's the first time that I see this behavior, I don't know what it is happening but I think that it's a bug.
Could something help me???
Thanks a lot

It's the first time that I see this behavior, I don't know what it is happening but I think that it's a bug.Submit SR to Oracle Support and also refer the below links as per the below second link it is a bug in recovery.
+ORA-600 [kghalo4] [ID 273721.1]+
*Bug 7420448 - ORA-600 [kghalo4] signalled during recovery [ID 7420448.8]*
Work around, you can create a new standby controlfile and restore it. If still exist you can raise an SR further.

    Hi ,
    Yes, it is on the same server.
    I have used the below mentioned parameters to rename the files
    At Primary Pfile:
    *.db_file_name_convert=('D:\app\oracle\oradata\test\test\','D:\app\oracle\testdr\oradata\datafiles\')
    *.log_file_name_convert=('D:\app\oracle\oradata\test\test\','D:\app\oracle\testdr\oradata\redologs\')
    At Standby:
    *.db_file_name_convert=('D:\app\oracle\testdr\oradata\datafiles\','D:\app\oracle\oradata\test\test\')
    *.log_file_name_convert=('D:\app\oracle\testdr\oradata\redologs\','D:\app\oracle\oradata\test\test\')
    But the output of v$datafile at standby is showing the path of Primary datafiles
    I manually tried recovering them but it is prompting me the same error.
    Regards

  • Starting a Physical Standby DB which is configured with real-time apply

    Hi,
    I wanted to get clarification on the correct procedure for starting and stopping a physical standby database. The Dataguard documentation states the following:
    1. Start and mount the database:
    SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
    2. Start log apply services:
    To start Redo Apply, issue the following statement:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
    2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    To start real-time apply, issue the following statement:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
    2> USING CURRENT LOGFILE;
    My configuration is using real-time apply based on the information provided by the RECOVERY_MODE column of the V$ARCHIVED_DEST_STATUS view. Should I execute both ALTER statements or just the second one. If only the second one, how will the database re-synchronize, especially after a long down time. Also, must I do anything on the primary database prior to starting up the physical standby?
    I'm using Oracle 10g SP1 on a linux server.

    No. But you can recover until the last arch file generated on the primary, then you cancel the recovery and then use query#2 to start applying real-time. Refer to Note:343424.1 on Metalink.

    Try to start once again, I have seen some listed bugs with the same error but those are applicable for 11gR1, but you are in 11gR2.

    please help me how could i start physical standby database
    Regards
    Vaibhav Dixit

    Hi Vaibhav,
    What exactly do you want to do?
    Alter database recover managed standby database; --->it will be in Manged Recovery mode.
    Alter database mount standby database; ----> it will be mounted, but no log files applies.
    Alter database open read only; ----> it will be open with read only option, but archeive logs will NOT be applied
    If you want to apply the Archive logs which are trasfered from Primary, then you need to fire the below commands
    Alter database recover managed standby database;
    Alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile;
    Alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session;
    To stop applying archives then,
    Alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    Thanks and Regards.

  • Physical standby failed to start MRP process

    Hi,
    I have a qa db which is in ASM. I have a qa standby which is a physical standby also in ASM. I added space to the primary. Unfortunately, the standby diskgroup did not have enough space and standby mrp process crashed. I edited the primary data files to release some space and tried to restart the standby but it does not seem to work.
    What next?

    Er, Can you provide more information?
    Like maybe some details from the alert logs?
    Or maybe even the error message you get when you try to restart the standby
    The more information the easier it is to debug at a distance.

  • Data Guard - MRP stuck issues on a physical standby database

    Hi,
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 DG running. When i do a switchover the physical standby database has error with following error
    ARC0: LGWR is actively archiving destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2
    ARCH: Archival stopped, error occurred. Will continue retrying
    ORACLE Instance <primaryDB> - Archival Error
    On standby DB
    SQL>select process, thread#, sequence#, status from v$managed_standby where process='MRP0';
    PROCESS THREAD# SEQUENCE# STATUS
    MRP0 1 548 APPLYING_LOG
    So according to Oracle support link i executed following
    SQL>recover managed standby database cancel;
    SQL>recover automatic standby database;
    The above seems to resolve the issue. What is causing is this?

    Hello again;
    Those both look perfect. I combed through my notes and found nothing like this for your version.
    Yes, I would open an SR since it appears you have done everything correct.
    ORA-600 [3020] "Stuck Recovery" [ID 30866.1]
    The "Known Bugs" section of the above has a few 11.2.0.3 entries.
    Generally the MRP gets stuck because data Guard thinks there's a GAP, you run out of room in the FRA on the Standby, or redo logs are too small and the system is switching very fast.
    Best Regards

    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

  • Starting Physically Standby Database in Mount Mode

    Hi All
    I have configured Data Guard using Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4.0 (64 bits) on Windows 2008 Server (64 bits) Release 2 Enterprise.
    Data guard configuration was OK as the message from "Enable Configuration DG1" was "SUCCESS" for both
    Primary and Standby Database. I have also set both Databases and TNS to start Automatically whenever Windows Starts.
    The Problem is as long as the Standby Server is running, there is No issue.
    But when we Restarts the Backup Server, Physically Standby Database is Started and TNS is also Started,
    but Archives  are not received until I physically do the following steps so that it can received the Archives.
    SQL> startup nomount;                                                                                                                
    SQL> alter database mount standby database;                                                                 
    SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
    Is there a way to start Physically Standby Database in Mount mode when windows started.

    The problem is well decribed in your alert log.....you are using Oracle Managed File names which means you will not be able to duplicate the database as RMAN won't be able to automatically generate new names for the files using the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameters.
    Youll have to use the SET NEWNAME command to specify the names of the database files. Done this a few times , and I don't recommend using OMF specifically beacuse of this hassle.
    WARNING: OMF is enabled on this database. Creating a physical standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
    datafile pathnames.
    NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames.

  • ORA-600 in standby alert log

    We have recently migrated our database from Solaris to Linux (RHEL5) and since this migration we are seeing weird errors related to archive log shipping to the remote standby site and a corresponding ORA-600 in the standby site.
    What's interesting is everything gets resolved by itself, it always seems to happen during the heavy database load when there is frequent log switch happening (~3 min). So initially it tries to archive to the remote site and it fails with the following error in the primary alert log.
    Errors in file /app/oracle/admin/UIIP01/bdump/uiip01_arc1_9772.trc:
    ORA-00272: error writing archive log
    Mon Jul 14 10:57:36 2008
    FAL[server, ARC1]: FAL archive failed, see trace file.
    Mon Jul 14 10:57:36 2008
    Errors in file /app/oracle/admin/UIIP01/bdump/uiip01_arc1_9772.trc:

    ARCH: FAL archive failed. Archiver continuing
    Mon Jul 14 10:57:36 2008
    ORACLE Instance UIIP01 - Archival Error. Archiver continuing.
    And then we see a ORA-600 on standby database related to this which complains about redo block corruption.
    Mon Jul 14 09:57:32 2008
    Errors in file /app/oracle/admin/UIIP01/udump/uiip01_rfs_12775.trc:

    Mon Jul 14 09:57:36 2008
    And the trace file has this wonderful block corruption error..
    Corrupt redo block 424432 detected: bad checksum
    Flag: 0x1 Format: 0x22 Block: 0x000679f0 Seq: 0x000006ef Beg: 0x150 Cks:0xa2e5

    ksedmp: internal or fatal error
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kcrrrfswda.11], [4], [368], [], [], [], [], []
    So ARC tries to resend this redo log again and it succeeds, end of the day all we have is a bunch of these ORA- errors in our alert logs, triggering off our monitors and these errors resolve themselves without any manual intervention, opened a tar with Oracle support as this is not affecting our primary database, they are in no hurry to get this one prioritized and also they are reluctant to accept that it's a bug that resolves itself.
    Just wanted to get it out here to see if anyone experienced a similar problem, let me know if you need any more details.
    As I said earlier this behaviour happens only during peak loads espceially when we have full 500M redo logs that are being archived.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks Madrid!..
    I scoured thru these metalink notes before looking for possible solutions and almost all of them were closed citing a customer problem related to OS, firewall, network, etc or some were closed saying requested data not provided.
    Looks as if they were never successfully closed with a resolution.
    I just want to assure myself that the redo corruption that standby is reporting will not haunt me later, when I am doing a recovery or even a crash recovery using redo logs?..
    I have multiplexed my logs, just in case and have all the block checking parameters enabled on both primary and standby databases.
    Thanks,

  • Physical Standby with ORA-19809 and ORA-19804

    My 10.2.0.3 physical standby produced the below errors, although it remained up. I am wondering if I ran into Bug 6432837, except &ldquo;select FLASHBACK_ON from V$DATABASE&rdquo; returns &ldquo;NO&rdquo;. I was able to increase the size of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE to get around it. However, I fear I have only prolonged the problem, since I have not a viable work around. I&rsquo;m using the Grid Control to administer both Primary and Standby. It doesn&rsquo;t seem to allow me to back up the standby, nor do I know how to crosscheck archive logs.
    Ideas? Suggestions?
    You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
    1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
    then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
    2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
    BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
    3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
    reflect the new space.
    4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
    system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
    DELETE EXPIRED commands.

As soon as the archives are applied to the standby you can delete them (assuming you do appropriate backups on the primary side). Nevertheless you may take an additional backup on the standby:
    backup archivelog all delete all input;
    delete obsolete noprompt;
    If retention policy is set to redundancy 1 (the default), a backup of the archivelogs is made,the backed up archivelogs are deleted and then the previous backup of older archivelogs is also deleted.
    So you should no longer run out of space.

  • Physical Standby Online Redo log  files,

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a physical standby database (10.2.0.3). I'm a little confused about the requirement for online redo logs on the standby.
    in my standby alert log I get the following when I issue:
    SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session
    "ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1
    ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/appl/oradata/prod/prod_1_redo_01_02.log'
    ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Additional information: 3"
    /appl/oradata/prod/prod_1_redo_01_02.log is the path to the location of the online redo logs on the production system. This file does not exist on the standby filesystem so the error is correct.
    I assume that it gets this information from the standby control file I created on the production system and copied over to the standby.
    Do I need to copy the online redo logs from the primary over to the standby site or do I need to create online redo logs on the standby?
    Does the standby need to have redo log files?
    I'm not talking about 'standby log files' of the type created using 'alter database add standby log file'. I've not got that far yet.
    I just need to establish if a physical standby requires online redo log files?
    Thanks in advance,
    user234564

    I wanted to update this thread since I've been dealing with the exact same errors. The basic question is: "does a physical standby need the online redo logs?"
    Answer: Not really, until one wants to switchover or failover (and become a primary database). Furthermore, whenever the MRP process is started, Oracle prepares for a possible switchover/failover by "clearing" the online redo logs (MetaLink note# 352879.1). It is not a big deal, since Oracle will build the actual redo files when the "alter database open resetlogs" is accomplished during a "role transition."
    In our situation, we have decided to use our standby for nightly exports. We stop MRP, open the database read-only, then restart MRP. We built these standby DBs with RMAN. The RMAN duplicate process will not build the online redo log files until the database is opened for read/write (with resetlogs). However, we haven't had a need for read/write (i.e. a switchover).
    Thus, every morning we have been getting the same errors that "user234564" posted above. At first the errors seemed scary, then we realized they were just a nusiance. In order to clean things up, all I did was just "cp" our stanby redo logs (SRL) into our online redo directories ensuring the names matched what was in v$logfile. When I restarted MRP, the alert log clearly showed Oracle clearing these "newly found" online redo logs.
