Physical standby is active

Hi,
I am implementing Data Guard on Oracle 10.2.0.1 database the OS is windows 2003 SP2.
the issue is:
when I shutdown the standby database and startup it back, the database open and active.
I am expecting that the database will be in a stand by mode after restarting it.
so, why the database is not started back in the standby mode?
thanks in advanace

Hi mseberg,
I wanna to take your attention to:
1- the primary and physical standby is working fine.
2- the logs are transfered to the standby server and applied correctly.
I startup the standby using the following:
startup mount
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;after that
shutdown immediate
startupthe standby database in the open mode.
*.FAL_SERVER=MSTRHQ
*.FAL_CLIENT=SLVHQ
*.standby_file_management='AUTO'
*.db_unique_name='SLVHQ'
db_file_name_convert(not defined)
*.log_file_name_convert='junk','junk'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=E:\oracle\Archives
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=SLVHQ'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=MSTRHQ LGWR ASYNC
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=MSTRHQ'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE
*.log_archive_max_processes=30
I have been used the same SID name for both primary and standby databases, also the same folder structure and drives on the two machines.
I have been created the standby controlfile using
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'c:\stdby01.ctl';
Thanks for ur cooperation.

  • Goldengate from physical standby with Active data guard or from logical standby - which is better?

    Hi,
    We have Oracle 11.2.0.4 and are currently using Active Data Guard on a physical standby. My boss wants me to use Goldengate
    to replicate several schema from Oracle to SqlSserver. She doesn't want to touch the Primary, which is in production. Would it be better
    to setup a Logical standby for Goldendate to use, in addition to the Physical standby? Or will it be sufficient to use the Physical standby?
    The application tables don't all have primary keys. I'm trying to decide if the Logical standby adds another layer of complexity or would
    introduce delays in getting the data from Oracle to Sqlserver.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    In this case I recommend you to use physical standby + Golden gate with ALO mode. You might have sligthly more trouble in logical standby. it means you might have more trouble at Goldengate's extract side.
    You said
    The application tables don't all have primary keys.
    so you have to add keycols on replicat side.
    I recommend you to add an index which should consist of keycols columns. it will be necessary for replicat performance.

  • DG physical standby

    Hi all,
    11.2.0.1
    Aix 6.1
    I still am confused how do our DG physical standby be activated and up-to-date in case when disaster happens?
    My boss tasked me a service-level-agreement, to check every hour that the archivelogs should be latest updated to the standby db.
    Does this mean I have to check our database every hour, 24-hrs a day? What has this DG has done to my life then?
    Is there a way to check if the arhivelogs are not applied within an hour? and send SMS to me if there is such a gap?
    I only have this script:
    SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY
    PROCESS   CLIENT_P  SEQUENCE# STATUS
    ARCH      ARCH            530 CLOSING
    ARCH      ARCH            531 CLOSING
    ARCH      ARCH              0 CONNECTED

    MRP0      N/A             532 WAIT_FOR_LOG
    RFS       UNKNOWN           0 IDLE
    RFS       LGWR            532 IDLE
    Can you share me how do you manage your standby DB? Does it disturb you during sleeping time, midnight, weekends, holidays?
    I thought this dataguard is made to make dba's life easy? Why is it getting more complicated????
    Thanks a lot,
    zxy

    Thanks Sunny & Sve,
    I am just new to this company and they have the Oracle Partner consultants configured the DataGuard. Maybe the ASYNC you mentioned was already configured by them?
    And we just do not use  it? How can I check if it was already configured?
    Does the script below showing "MRP0  WAIT_FOR_LOG"  show that archivelogs are currently updated, hence it is waiting for logs?
    SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY
    PROCESS   CLIENT_P  SEQUENCE# STATUS

  • Active dataguard physical standby

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create additional tables and do DML operations on them ( these tables will not be present on primary db) in physical standby database created by active data guard.
    Regards,
    prasad.

    Is it possible to create additional tables and do DML operations on them ( these tables will not be present on primary db) in physical standby database created by active data guard.Prasad,
    Here Active datagaurd feature is only for READ ONLY or reporting purpose, where you can perform only Select queries which is from 11gRx at the same time recovery also will be active.
    If you want to open database in Read & Write , There there would be no consistent with Primary database, These behaves as different databases.
    So Either you have to use flashback option after completing your REad & Write options,
    Again you will lost all of the data, whatever you performed DML operations. So this is no use again.
    You can use this note for that procedure *How To Open Physical Standby For Read Write Testing and Flashback [ID 805438.1]*
    But i can say conclusion to make your standby high available your DML operations are not supported, ofcourse supported but its not High availability.
    Hope this clears.

  • Creating physical standby database from another physical standby database

    hi,
    We have one production database and one physical standby of the production. Now we have situation where we need to create one database from either production or from standby. As production is loaded we can not do it using active database option. Now we have the only option to copy the database from standby.
    As of now we open the standby and copy it using rman duplicate database and again we put it back to standby mode.
    Is it possible to create standby database from standby database only?
    Oracle version : 11.1.0.7.0
    I have seen procedure allowing to do the same in version 11.2.0.3. I have tried searching for the difference but didn't find when this feature was introduced.
    Thanks,
    Ketul Patel

    Hello;
    Active duplicate should work when connected to Standby as source Database. However there's a bug 11715084 which is not fixed until version 11.2.0.4.
    If patch 11715084 is available for your version it may work, but all the 11.1.0 are gone so I have no way to test.

  • Standby from active database

    Hello,
    I am attempting to create a physical standby database, following this guide:
    http://www.oracle.com/global/uk/education/downloads/uwe_data_guard.pdf
    as well as the oracle documentation on Data Guard. Using Oracle 11gR2 patched at #7 running on Windows Server 2008.
    I've set all the parameters, created password files and checked connectivity. Hopefully correctly. I will post pfile exports at the end.
    Here is where I hit a dead end.
    RMAN> connect target system/password@HPROD89
    connected to target database : HPROD89 (DBID)
    RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/password@HPROD89STND
    connected to auxiliary database: HPROD89STND (not mounted)
    RMAN> duplicate target database for standby from active database;Error from spool. I need to spool the file to get the error code, otherwise the only thing rman provides is a "error message stack follows" message with nothing after that.
    RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 11/19/2010 21:24:04
    RMAN-06136: ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLEI'm running rman on the standby server with the database in NOMOUNT as the guide linked above suggests. This raises a simple question to start with: what server do I run rman on? The one with the primary database, or on the standby?
    I hope it's just because it's getting late, but this issue has me confused .. rman clearly connects the auxiliary, but when trying to perform the actual duplication, it's not connected.
    Thanks for input.
    Regards.

  • Create ONLINE logfile in physical standby database

    We have created a physical standby database with rman duplicate command on a remote server
    "duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck"
    When I see the standby server...Online logfiles are not created however its relevant entries are there in V$LOG and V$LOGFILE views.
    I guess it is the default behaviour of duplicate command in RMAN and we can not specify LOGFILE clause when we create standby database.
    Now the problem is we could not drop the online logfile on standby database since it's status is "CURRENT", "ACTIVE".
    Since the ONLINE LOGFILE are not actually created , "ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP " command returns with error as it could not find the file in the server.
    So How we can drop the current/active online logfile and add new ones in standby db?

    I'm assuming you have physical standby. Here are step I did in the past.
    1) create a backup control file
    2) bring the database back using the "recreate control file" it the trace file BUT you need to remove or comment out the line that has the corrupt or missing redo log file. And don't forget to add the tempfile after you recreate the controlfile
    example:
    alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    STARTUP NOMOUNT
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "ORCL" NORESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING ARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 16
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
    MAXDATAFILES 100
    MAXINSTANCES 8
    MAXLOGHISTORY 292
    LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 '/oracledata/orcl/redo01.log' SIZE 200M,
    GROUP 2 '/oracledata/orcl/redo02.log' SIZE 200M,
    GROUP 3 '/oracledata/orcl/redo03.log' SIZE 200M,
    # GROUP 3 '/oracledata/orcl/redo03.log' SIZE 200M
    -- STANDBY LOGFILE
    -- GROUP 10 '/oracledata/orcl/redostdby04.log' SIZE 200M,
    -- GROUP 11 '/oracledata/orcl/redostdby05.log' SIZE 200M
    DATAFILE
    '/oracledata/orcl/system01.dbf',
    '/oracledata/orcl/undotbs01.dbf',
    '/oracledata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf',
    '/oracledata/orcl/users01.dbf'
    CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
    If you just want to add the standby redo log then using this command.
    alter database add standby logfile
    '/<your_path>/redostdby01.log' size 200M reuse,

  • Logical and Physical Standby Practice

    Hello Gurus
    I am now attempting to practice Oracle Data Guard and in this direction I understand since 10g we have logical standby server as well as a physical standby server. While I am gathering information and knowledge about the data guard as is and varisous modes and types possible with oracle 10g and 11g in specific, an attempt to upgrade my self and learn these set-ups and understand them in detail.. I come to you for some guidence..
    I am referring to Oracle Documentation for these details. At the same time I also approach you to share your experiences .. may be a link apart from the documentation of oracle which you might want to refer me to use as a quick reference.. some thing that a person like me .. fairly new to this set-up understand it and then attempt to come up with one..
    This is for my practise and learning purpose.
    Sarat.

    Logical Standby was already introduced in 9i. It differs from physical standby in the way, the redo protocol, transmitted from the primary, gets used to actualize the standby. With logical standby, you have SQL APPLY - basically, we try to generate the same SQL that was done on the primary from the redo protocol that was written on behalf of that SQL on the primary. That SQL then is done on the OPEN instance at the logical standby.
    In case of a physical standby, the redo protocol from the primary is used to do RECOVERY - called REDO APPLY - to actualize the standby.
    Since 10g, the sames protection levels can be achieved with logical or physical standby.
    Drawback of logical standby: Not all kinds of SQL and all datatypes are supported
    Drawback of physical standby: It is mounted (versions before 11g) while being recoverd - or in 11g, REDO APPLY in READ ONLY status is possible but comes with an extra charge (ACTIVE DATA GUARD feature).
    If you look on my Blog, I have some examples about creating physical & logical standby DBs
    Kind regards

  • How Real Time Apply works while physical standby is open in Read Only mode

    Hi,
    With Active data guard option, we can open physical standby DB in read only mode, while redo log are being applied. (Real Time Query)
    Standby Redo log (SRL) enables Real Time Apply (with "USING CURRENT LOGFILE" clause in recover database command on standby DB)
    I am interested to know, how Real Time Query works ?
    What is the mechanism with allows us to open physical standby DB in read only mode while redo logs are being applied continuously ?
    Regards,
    Sujit

    Dear user7419391,
    That is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. MRP can use the real time apply in 10g but the concept here is different.
    Taken from the following document;
    http://www.ascent.co.za/documents/oracle/Oracle%20databse%2011g%20Active-Data-Guard%20datasheet.pdf
    *Unique Advantages of Oracle Active Data Guard*
    +Active Data Guard is an evolution of Data Guard technology, providing unique+
    +performance advantages while leveraging all other enhancements included in Oracle+
    +Data Guard 11g. For example, any Data Guard 11g physical standby database can+
    +be easily converted to a Snapshot Standby. A Snapshot Standby is open read-write+
    +and is ideally suited as a test system, able to process transactions independent of the+
    +primary database. A Snapshot Standby maintains protection by continuing to receive+
    +data from the production database, archiving it for later use. When tests are+
    +complete, a single command discards changes made while open read-write and+
    +quickly resynchronizes the standby database with the primary.+
    The other link in the previous post is excellent and you really have to read it to understand the active data guard aspects.
    Regards.

  • Error raised when opening physical standby in read only

    Hi,
    I've a physical standby 11.2.0.2 created using RMAN duplicate from active database which is configured with data guard. When I open the database in READ ONLY mode
    SQL> alter database open read only;
    Database altered.
    SQL> select open_mode from v$database;
    OPEN_MODE
    READ ONLY
    I get this error in the alert log

    Any help much appreciated

    Have you checked what your guard status is set to?
    SQL> SELECT guard_status from v$database;I've had a similar issue before but with a standby, whereby the status was set to ALL. This means all users apart from SYS are unable to make changes on the database.
    My resolution was to set the status to standby:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;You may wish to set the guard status to NONE however.
    I took some notes:
    http://juniororacledba.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/oracle-logical-standby-dataguard-error However, I do not have a link to any Oracle documentation on the subject to hand. But might give you a head start.

  • Physical standby database standby redo log problem

    Hello
    We have a physical standby database , I've created some standby redo log files but my problem is that they aren't used,
    their status in v$stanby_log view is UNASSIGNED
    and I see this message (ORA-16086: standby database does not contain available standby log files) in primary database alert_log file
    while when I run "alter system switch logfile" in the primary database it transfer redo logs to the physsical standby database
    and archive log file will be created in standby database
    I've even recreated the standby redo log files and I added new ones to them but the problem wasn't solved
    Do you know what is problem ?

  • DB link for physical standby database

    Hi All ,
    I'm facing the below error on primary while trying to create a db link pointing to the 10g standby database which is in mount stage.
    SQL> create database link synct connect to system identified by 123 using 'stdby';
    Database link created.
    SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log@synct where applied='YES';
    select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log@synct where applied='YES'
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-02068: following severe error from SYNCT
    ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
    Database version is 10.2 standard edition
    My requirement is i need to get max(sequence#) of standby database from primary database using db link.
    what i was trying to do is
    on primary get max(sequence#) & get max(sequence#) of standby using db link and compare both if the gap differene is more than 10 send a mail.
    Any suggestions will be really helpful

    Post Standby/DataGuard/ADG all questions further in Oracle Discussion Forums » High Availability » Data Guard
    If you try to connect any users other than SYS in standby the error is very much expected. Of course you can connect with other users if you open database in OPEN READ ONLY mode, from 11gRx you can connect with other users even MRP is running if you are using ADG(active Data Guard licensed) .
    I like to know, what you want to achieve by creating DB Link on physical standby database? Which is not allowed.

    To use this you should use Oracle Net Service, you no need of DB Links.
    Ex:- sqlplus sys/****@standby as sysdba
    Here standby refers to Oracle net service, Where you will have entries in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
