Oracle Data Guard in WAN

Hello,
I'm planning to setup DG in WAN  with 1GB or less  network pipe. What is the best mode to setup like Maximum availability or Maximum performanance or Max protection?
Please share the ML also .
thanks

Hello,
You'll find here a description of the 3 modes:
Data Guard Protection Modes
If you are not sure about the Network it's better to choose Maximum Performance (the default). By that way the Primary don't suffer from any delay in writing the redo to the Standby.
With Maximum Protection the Primary is unavailable if the redo cannot be sent to the Standby.
Maximum Availability is a go-between these 2 modes.
Anyway, think about monitoring the redo application on the Standby so as to avoid any GAP. Also, you can set the parameter "archive_lag_target" to force a switch of the redo at regular interval.
Hope this help,
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin Lubiez

  • Oracle EBS R12 - DR setup using Oracle Data Guard

    Hi,
    Our customer has implemented Oracle EBS R12 (12.0.6) on a Two Node RAC on HP-UX env. The application Tier also has Two Nodes(Admin Tier and Web Tier).
    Oracle Clusterware - OCR and Vote Disk are on Raw Devices and the EBS database is on ASM.
    Customer wants to implement a DR solution with Oracle Data Guard with only 2 servers - 1 for the Database Tier and 1 for the Application Tier on the DR Site.
    I would like to know if this could be done by following note: 452056.1? I would also like to know if there are other useful docs.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Customer escalated this issue to Oracle and they came up with this reply:
    They can implement Disaster recovery solution from RAC to NON RAC using Solution A which use RMAN utilities for backup and recovery.
    While now AMP Application Management Pack gives the capablitiy to build non RAC from RAC Envioment, In future AMP will be capable also to support cloning of DB with Data Guard.
    Details
    Solution A - Using RMAN:
    For Release 12 customers, you can clone from a RAC to RAC (like to like) or RAC to non-RAC. This is using RMAN scripts to take a copy of the db when it’s in archive mode. if you’re leveraging any disaster recovery tools like data guard, the above solution should work fine…perhaps some fine tuning to the procedures
    Solution B - Using AMP in the future release
    For Release 11i , Release 12.x customers, AMP would be offering a new cloning solution that wouldn’t have dependency on Rapid Clone. This solution leverages the strengths of EM Grid Control in provisioning or cloning targets such as databases. This would be an advance solution that would support:
    o A full-fledged scale down cloning
    o Cloning of EBS deployed on Shared File System
    o Hot and Cold mode cloning
    o Quantifiable reduction in clone time for the entire EBS system
    This solution would be leveraging EM grid Control’s DB provisioning pack’s clone utilities, that are quite advanced and support cloning of DB with Data Guard.
    The recommendation is to start trialing AMP version 3.0, making the purchase and implementing within the Enterprise. As we release the new version of AMP (release 3.0.1), Customer would be in a better position to quickly implement the latest features
    Can anyone let me know if the solution A suggested will work.
    Rgds,

  • Oracle Replication - Encrypted Data and Oracle Data Guard

    We are working on a high availability architecture for one of our new projects. The preliminary architecture has Oracle 10g Release 2(10.2.0.2) production database (primary database) running on Solaris10 server for OLTP operations. And a production replicated database (standby database) is running on another node running on Solaris10 server for reporting, ETL data extractions etc. The plan is to implement Oracle data guard (DG) to replicate data between primary database and standby database (logical standby database). As a side note, there is going to be one to two minute time log for data synchronization between primary and standby databases.
    We need to encrypt sensitive data (like SSN, Credit Card No. etc) in the primary production database. Initially we thought this can be achieved by using Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), this is a new encryption method Oracle came up with their 10g version. But the issue here is Oracle TDE doesn’t support setting up the logical standby database (using Oracle data Guard) for reporting on the second node. I have confirmed with Oracle on this, so we are kind of stuck in the middle on this new requirement. So our next option is to look out for any third party vendors who can resolve this puzzle, and looking for your help for any suggestions.
    · Do you know any vendor who can support both data encryption and data replication for Oracle databases?
    · Do you know any vendor who can support just data encryption for Oracle databases?
    (I am thinking if we can find a vendor, we would like to ask them if they have any technical issues working with Oracle data guard for data replication and use some kind of technique to decrypt the data on the standby/reporting database.)

    You can always use the DBMS_CRYPTO or DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT to encrypt the data rather than using TDE. You may have to do some work on the key management side, though, but it shouldn't be too painful.

  • Oracle Data Guard 9i

    This is a quote from an Oracle publication on Oracle Data Guard 9i.
    "Oracle Data Guard's new SQL Apply feature creates a "logical standby" that enables continuous access to a working copy of your primary database. With SQL Apply, the standby database is continuously available for reporting and other operations, while always at-the-ready for unplanned failovers. Data Guard provides log shipping, remote mirroring, zero-data-loss disaster protection, and a single point of control and automation. "
    My question is: Is the standby database open in read-write or read-only mode?
    If, its only read, is there ANY other way read-write version of a database could be created at a remote site besides:
    a) Complete copying - duplicate database at remote site open in read-write.
    b) Distributed database - replication - remote users access their own version and the two keep themselves in sync.
    c) Parallel server - one database - two instances.

    Data Guard is available for Linux (within Oracle9i).
    It's a tool to make it much more easier to create a standby
    database, but I don't think it's required!
    Regards,
    Thomas.
    Is Oracle 9i data guard for Linux available??
    Well, my real question is, I need to setup 9i standby database
    on Linux. Do I need data guard installed in order to setup
    standby database??

  • Difference between oracle Data Guard and Replication

    Hello Friends,
    I would like to know the main difference between oracle replication and data guard. Theoretically both are same then where is the difference. Can replication or dataguard be configured in a single PC.
    Thanks

    Dataguard :
    Oracle Data Guard is primarily for high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery. An Oracle Data Guard Standby instance provides transactionally consistent copies of the production database, in the event of an unplanned outage or instance maintenance the Data Guard Primary Role Standby Role can be switched so the Standby instance can provide Production services.
    Replication :
    Oracle Advanced Replication and Oracle Streams are Oracle's solution for replicating data and internal structures to remote databases. Advanced Replication is primarily trigger based where Streams is a rule/handler based replication process and considerably more efficient and less error prone than Advanced Replication

  • Oracle Data Guard

    Hi,

    NO.

  • Veritas Hardware Cluster and Oracle Data Guard

    Hi,
    Actually we use Veritas Cluster Server for our Database Configuration. So we have a hardware standby cluster. In case of a failure the VCS does a failover, as you know ;-)
    But now we are planning to use DataGuard for having a logical standby database for reporting cases. I just read something about a VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER AGENT for DataGuard.
    What do I have to do (is there a possibility without using the Veritas Agent) for having a standby failover solution with Veritas and also a DataGuard Configuration.
    What is going to happen if the Cluster does a failover? Will the Data Guard configuration be alive or is it going to break?
    Please give me some advice. Maybe you have some links for articles that handle this topic.
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Henrik Ruenger

    In terms of feasibility, yes, you can definitely have a database running on a Veritas Cluster Server and (at the same time) a Data Guard physical standby database.
    If you are mentioning "VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER AGENT for DataGuard" by Symantec, I don't know the product in details.
    What I can say is that you are definitely able to monitor and administer an Oracle Data Guard configuration by using just products that come with the Oracle licence.
    In case of a failover, as long as your Oracle Net setup is resilient to the failover, Data Guard is as well. So, the short answer is: no it is not going to break.
    I have setup this architecture several times with no problem.
    Of course this is just high level.
    Please let me know if you need more high level info.
    Thanks and regards,

  • License for Oracle Data Guard

    Hi
    For a data guard solution, is the license including in the Oracle Data Guard package or we must buy additional license for the standby database ?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I will do that.
    But i just wanted to know if a standby database means new license.
    I mean, when the primary database works, the standby database do nothing except get the archive redologs.
    And when the standby database is on, then the primary is down.
    So i didn't see why we'll need futher licences.

  • Will Oracle Data Guard be replaced by Oracle Stream soon?

    Will Oracle Data Guard be replaced by Oracle Stream soon?
    In my opinion Oracle Stream can replace Oracle Data Guard completely.
    Message was edited by:
    frank.qian

    While some of the technologies that underpin Streams are being increasingly incorporated into DataGuard, it's quite unlikely that DataGuard will go away.
    Streams is the successor to Advanced Replication, which is designed to allow a source database to propagate data to a distinct database in a different environment without necessarily having to have the two databases tightly coupled. You can have different databases in different regions managed by different DBA groups who don't necessarily care whether any of the other systems are up using Streams (or Advanced Replication before it). Failing over between these systems, while possible, requires a fair amount of custom scripting, but is certainly possible.
    DataGuard, on the other hand, is designed to allow you to have multiple copies of the same database that are tightly coupled for high availability. Similar in concept, but there are very different trade-offs in the design.
    That said, Streams and Logical Standby both use very similar technologies to mine the redo information for change records. As DataGuard uses Logical Standby more and more, potentially as a replacement for physical standby, they'll use more and more of the same underlying technologies. They'll still be very different products.

  • Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard

    Hi All,
    Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
    Thanks in advance

    Paul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
    http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement&section=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
    states, in part,
    "Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
    which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate

  • How to add two protection mode in oracle data guard

    Hi all,
    We have a discussion on oracle physical data guard yesterday.....
    As we all know that data guard has 3 protection mode
    1. Maximum Performance
    2. Maximum Availability (Default)
    3. Maximum Protection
    Now we were discussing about is it possible to have two protection mode on same data guard simultaneously... for e.g. Maximum performance and maximum availability.
    We have searched a lot but don't find any help on google.
    Can any one help on this with any doc, pdf or links..
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    you don't find anything on this because it's not possible and would make no sense even if you could do it.
    Maximum Availability uses SYNC commit between primary and standby db. If you combine Max. Availabilty with Max. Performance then your db clients have to wait on commit until primary and the max. availability standby have commited. That they would not have to wait on another Max. Performance DB doesn't change anything to the client. You would only combine the disadvantages of both approaches, the wait on sync commit for max. availability and beeing not in sync with primary for the max. performance db.
    The max. protection mode requires by definition that the primary db shuts down in case no standby can process the commit. If the primary is not up and running it is pointless to have another (max. availability) standby db at hand, if this max. availability db would take over the service this would violate the defintion of max. protection. No Dataloss is valued higher than db availability, having the data commited only on one db site is not allowed.
    Regards

  • Oracle data guard configuration for primary and standby db_name

    I am working on configuring an active data guard for one primary DB and one standby DB. I have a few questions:
    1. Can I use different db_name, db_unique_name and instance_name for primary and standby. For example: primary(db_name, db_unique_name and instance_name)=chicago. When I create standby DB with Rman backup and copy of pfile and control file from primary DB or use Grid control to create standby database. Oracle document or Grid control all keep standby db_name=chicago. Only make standby db_unique_name and instance_name=boston. Due to my application system condition, I want to make db_name=boston, not keep it as the same as primary=chicago. Is this valid configuration?
    2. In primary datafiles, application system generate datafile name like this: hr_chicago_01.dbf, fn_chicago_01.dbf. When I move datafiles to standby server, if I plan to use db_name=boston for standby DB, can I rename datafiles as
    hr_boston_01.dbf, fn_boston_01.dbf? In this way, datafile name match up with db_name. but I will create standby log group and members on primary and standby identically. If in future switching over, DB will not have problems.
    3. If I don't use primary DB backup. Instead, I copy all datafiles, redo_log files (no control files) to standby. Then "alter database backup controlfile to trace" from promary and also " create pfile='/xxx/initSTANDBY.ora' from primary. Then modify init.ora and controlfile. Then run control.sql to bring standby DB up. After that, configure redo log shipping and apply with data guard or SQL. Is this a acceptable way to create physical standby DB?
    Please advise your comments. Thanks in advance.

    I want to make db_name=boston, not keep it as the same as primary=chicago. Is this valid configuration?NO. DB_NAME must be the same ("chicago") at both sites. The Standby will be using a different DB_UNIQUE_NAME (e.g. "boston") and can be using a different Instance name / SID (e.g. "boston").
    can I rename datafiles Yes. The database file names can be changed.
    If I don't use primary DB backup. Instead, I copy all datafiles, redo_log files (no control files) to standbyWhat is the difference between the first sentence (a backup of the primary) and the second sentence (a copy of the primary) ? A Copy is a backup.
    Are you intending to differentiate between an RMAN Backup and a User-Managed (aka "scripted") backup ?
    Normally, for DataGuard, tou can use non-RMAN methods to copy the database but there's no value add in this.
    You'd still have to setup DataGuard ! (and I wonder if you'd have complications setting up Active DataGuard).
    But remember that you MUST create the Standby controlfile from the Primary and copy it over to your Standby -- particularly as you are planning to use DataGuard. This is not created by 'alter database backup controlfile to trace' , but by 'ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'filename''

  • Disable Oracle Data Guard - Urgent

    Hello All,
    I am in a peculiar situation and any help is appreciated.
    I have a Primay Database and one Physical standby database and they are in Sync. Now, my client wants me to disable data guard and run these two databases as independent one. While performing this activity, there should not be any downtime on Primary. There is no data guard broker involved.

    How do i make these two databases as independant database without having downtime in PRIMARY. Please help.

    Hi,
    ++ First steps will be to defer the remote archiving by setting log_archive_dest_state_2 = defer in primary and then unset all dataguard related parameters on primary and standby like fal_server, fal_client, log_archive_dest_2, log_archive_config.
    ++ After that perform failover steps on standby to activate it as independent database using the steps mentioned in following link:
