Oracle 10g Dataguard Setup

Hi Guys,
I am planning to have Dataguard setup for my single instance database in HP-UNIX.
Please let me know the pre-requistes for this setup. I currently have Oracle enterprise edition installed. Do i need any specific application, tool or software installed for this, etc ?
Also, help me out with the configuration steps.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks. Apart from RMAN, do i need to have anything else installed for the setup ?
Also, if i choose the manual method(using sql's), do I need to install anything ?
I understand these are basics. Please bear with me.
Thanks.Hi,
On standby side need following steps.
1. You must install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (same version, same patchset) Software only.
2. Add Listener, and add standby service name
3. You must create folders for data files, flash recovery area and diags.
Not need any additional tools.

Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

Hi Forum,
I have a task to change the IP address, host name and host related details for the ORACLE 10g RAC 2 node setup. So Can anyone tell me the procedure to do the same on both the nodes.

If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
Changing the Private Interconnect
o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)

Oracle 10g Database Setup Won't Start on Win XP Pro

I am new to Oracle and have just downloaded the 10g database from the Oracle website and am trying to install it on my Windows XP Professional Machine. When I double click "setup.exe" the hourglass timer appears very briefly but then nothing happens. Does anyone know why this would be? Thanks.

Try using the setup.exe in the install folder instead. If that doesn't work, verify that your download was ok (you should be able to verify the size of the downloaded file with that on the download page of OTN) and also verify that your hardware meets the minimum requirements for installation (see documentation in your doc folder).

Oracle 10g dataguard Connect-time failover Parameter 15 minutes

Hello,
we running a system with DataGuard in Maximum Availability protection mode and one physical Standby Database. There are two connections between primary and standby. I configured listener and tnsnames to perform a Connect-time failover in case one connection is down. In first place it seemed to work fine but since it has happened that the primary always hangs for exactly 15 minutes until the failover is performed. (ALL redologs need archiving)
I think this must be the default value of a Parameter but reading docs for hours I can't find it.
Can anybody help me?
Best regards
Fritz

It's like this. The connection failover I'm talking about is only between the primary database and standby database. I have two connections between them. That makes two addresses for the service (servicetostandby) specified in the log_archive_dest used by dataguard. In my case the log_archive_dest Paramater looks like this:
log_archive_dest_3 = 'SERVICE servicetostandby OPTIONAL LGWR SY
NC AFFIRM VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LO
GFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE
NAME=standby REOPEN=10 NETTIME
OUT=9'
The tnsnames.ora entry looks like this:
servicetostandby =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = address1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = address2)(PORT = 1521))
(FAILOVER=true)
(LOAD_BALANCE=false)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = standby)
So if either address1 or address2 is down dataguard should use the other address to connect to the standby database.
Maybe because of the Maximum Availability protection mode the primary database does not perform if the standby database is not available. I'm not sure about that. But fact is that if I power off the standby database, the primary database hangs only for 9 seconds. That's specified in the net_time_out attribut of the log_archive_dest Parameter. So I'm quite sure that something in the oracle net service causes the problem.
With the "primary hangs" I mean: After the used connection (say address1) went down the redologfiles of the primary database get filled and then it stops for 15 minutes. The messages in the alert.log:
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 1304
All online logs needed archiving
After 15 minutes the connection via address2 is established and everything works fine.
I hope I made myself clear this time and didn't confuse you totally.

Oracle 10g Dataguard Error

Hi,
I created a standby database using RMAN backups.
I have followed all the steps correctly because the standby database does come up without any errors when I give the command
'alter database mount standby database;'
or
'alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session;'
But, in the alert log file I can see the following errors.
ORA-00313 - open failed for members of logfile group1 (and 2 and 3)
ORA-227037 - unable to obtain file status (file may not exist)
and
ORA-19527 Physical standby redo log must be renamed.
When I go back and check, the first error is correct in the sense that the redo log files are not present in the location specified.
Querying the V$LOG & V$LOGFILE do return the name and path of the log files (or where they should be but are not!)
What have I missed that the redo logs are not created at the time of restore and recover?
TIA.
KV

Hi KV,
You mentioned that you created a standby database from RMAN backup, but you also have to set the primary to send the archives to the standby. Have you done that?
This can be done manually by setting "log_archive_dest_n" parameter to "service=<service>" where <service> is a TNS entry to the standby. You may want to check all the options available for this parameter here (I don't know which version you use so this is from 10gR2 documentation).
You can also use Data Guard Broker to do that for you (you need to create a configuration using dgmgrl utility or Grid Control), this is the link to the documentation about Data Guard Broker: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/toc.htm]

Oracle 10g dataguard

Hi all
I have created a dataguard on a separate server and shifted the production database to dataguard server in an emergency. Now I want to revert back to the production server.
Please tell me the procefure for the same and tell me that how much data loss will occure?

try this solution
On the current primary database, query the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column of the V$DATABASE fixed view
on the primary database to verify it is possible to perform a switchover. For example:
SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
TO STANDBY
OR
SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
SESSIONS ACTIVE
Initiate the switchover on the primary database
To change the current primary database to a physical standby database role, use the following SQL statement
on the primary database:
If the value in the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column is TO STANDBY
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY;
If the value in the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column is SESSIONS ACTIVE
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
Shut down the former primary instance, and restart and mount the database and confirm the switch over notification:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
TO_PRIMARY
Switch the target physical standby database role to the primary role.
If switch over status is to primary:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
If switch over status is active session:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
Finish the transition of the standby database to the primary role
If standby database has not been opened in read-only mode since the last tiem it was started, issue
SQL> alter database open;
If the physical standby database has been opened in read-only mode since the last time it was stared, you must
issue
SQL>shutdown immediate;
SQL>startup;
Enable the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter for redo transmission
At new Standby database activate media recovery:
SQL> Alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

I got stuck as unable to find the Oracle 10g XE setup on Oracle website.
I now have following queries:
1) Weather my thinking is in write direction .
2) How to get Oracle 10g XE setup.
3) Will Oracle 11g XE setup which is now available on oracle website will be able to import .dmp file from Oracle 10g DB.
4) How can i better myself with Oracle DB concepts to resolved the issue.
Regards

So you haven't even installed XE yet? If so, then you are nowhere near being able to use the .dmp file. First you have to have a working database, then you can use use the import utility to import the contents of the .dmp file into the working database.
The entire documentation library for all versions and products is located at tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version and you will be looking at the entire doc library for said product/version. Including the Installation Guides.
"How can i better myself with Oracle DB concepts"
=================================================
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- *Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual*.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- *When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again*.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

How to setup Oracle 10g grid on a node other than SERVER

Hi,
We are in a process of moving the database residing on Windows servers to IBM AIX5L servers. For this purpose I came up with an idea of installing database on AIX and operate it remotely on Windows platform using 10g Grid Control and 10g Client. For this to happen perfectly, I am in middle of implementing same concept on Windows platfrom. I have made a test database on a Windows based server and I am trying to connect it with another Window based node. I know hwo to connect it using a client software but I am more interested to do it on Grid Control.
At this stage, I have created database on server and have also configured Oracle Management Agent along with Oracle 10g Grid Control. I read oracle documentation that it is necessary to install Oracle Management Agent on server machine in order to let other nodes get connected with the server.
I would extremely appreciate anyone who could help me in setting up 10g grid control on another node. Please note I wish to operate the database using grid control remotely. For know you can consider both computers on same network, I will go on VPN once I am able to do it on local network.
Looking forward for your reply
Shez

Hi Xaheer,
Thanks for looking into this matter. I had agent and grid running on the server and I have almost installed 10g Grid control 10.2.0.2. The place where I am stuck now is the OMS Configuration script that run after the installation in Configuration Assistant window. It just stuck here for some minutes and then displays the error. Let me paste here the lines in that appears in the detail panel of installation wizard.
Output generated from configuration assistant "OMS Configuration"
Command = oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.OmsPlugIn -configureOms
Operation Stopping OPMN Processes is in progress.
Operation EM Deploying is in progress.
Operation Creating OMS Respository is in progress.
Configuration assistant "OMS Configuration" failed
The "d:\OracleHomes\agent10g\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the oracle installation guide, I had to deconfigure the database before running the setup. I did it using this command,
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
AS far as i think, I am getting this error becouse of sysman schema which was droped during the installation and was recreated( as I read in the oracle installation guide ) is not found by the script. So in order to b ring back sysman schema, I recreated the repository using following commands.
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
Now, the database on server is not starting up. I can just see RED downword error, u know what i mean right ? Everyting is down, Database instance, Listener and Agent Connection to Instance, and on the top pf page I can see " Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. The state of the components are listed below."
When I try to startup the database using the grid control it gives me this error.
Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null.
I am stuck in here. If you know how to fix this agent , i would really appreciate that.
Thanks

Setup.exe does not execute - Oracle 10g on windows xp!?

Hello,
I have a problem while installing Oracle 10g Release 2 on my XP-prefessional machine (including service pack 2). By doubleclicking the autorun-file the openingdialog pops up, but after I chossed Installation nothing happens - the same by starting the setup.exe - also from the dos-box. I shut down my AntiVir and the ZoneAlarm-Firewall and tried again without success. Maybe sombody had the same problem. Big thanx for every help.
I would be glad to get an error but absolutly nothing happens!

Installing on Windows is pretty simple, unless there is something that prevents the java environment from starting the console. Check the path environment variable and make sure there are no other jdk mixed. Check that the windows security doesn't prevent the oui console from starting, it happens that the windows security blocks java applications, and if you asked it to do it by clicking accept, then it won't start.
