  • Problems while creating a physical Standby

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup a physical standby database with oracle 10g.
    I configured a specific log archive destination:
    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3 = 'SERVICE=ORAMPSEC REOPEN=60 MAX_FAILURE=3 LGWR SYNC
    VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=ORAMPSEC'
    The service is reachable via network.
    To establish the standby database I copied all datafiles from the primary database using scp. I also created a standby controlfile and a modified pfile. In addition I added a standby redo logfile which has the same size as the online redo log files on the primary database.
    After starting the standby database in open read only mode I receive the following error message:
    Database mounted.
    ORA-16004: backup database requires recovery
    ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oradata/ORAMPPRD/data/system01.dbf'
    I tried to recover using "recover standby database" I receive the following message:
    ORA-00279: change 884348 generated at 07/18/2006 17:08:07 needed for thread 1
    ORA-00289: suggestion : /oradata/ORAMPPRD/archive/1_30_595767954.dbf
    ORA-00280: change 884348 for thread 1 is in sequence #30
    Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
    Although I transmitted all archived log files from the primary database the archived log file mentioned above is not available. After hitting RETURN I get this message:
    ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
    '/oradata/ORAMPPRD/archive/1_30_595767954.dbf'

    Nothing known about the *30*dbf file.
    Although there still seems to be something wrong, the archived log file transmission seems to work since there is no error reported on the log archive destination:
    SQL> select status, error from v$archive_dest where dest_id = 3;
    STATUS ERROR
    VALID
    And after I manually force a log switch I see that archived redo logs were applied on the standby database:
    select sequence#, applied from v$archived_log order by sequence#;
    SEQUENCE# APPLIED
    27 YES
    28 NO
    28 YES
    29 NO
    29 YES
    Unfortunately because of the recovering problem I cannot open the database to see if the changes were applied. So my first question is, how can I get the standby database completely recovered ??
    In addition to this I was expecting that the changes to the standby database were made immediately since I choosed LGWR sync but I have to manually force the logfile switch. As I already mentioned a standby redo log file is available as well.
    Thanks for your help,
    Philipp.

    Hi,
    since it does not seem to work with just copying the datafiles I switched to RMAN. I created a full database backup from Enterprise Manager. Similiar to http://dizwell.com/main/content/view/81/122/1/1/ I tried to duplicate the database to the standby instance (running on a different server). But unfortunately I receive error messages that the files, previously created, cannot be found:
    channel d1: starting datafile backupset restore channel d1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set restoring datafile 00001 to /oradata/ORAMPPRD/data/1.dbf restoring datafile 00002 to /oradata/ORAMPPRD/data/2.dbf restoring datafile 00003 to /oradata/ORAMPPRD/data/3.dbf restoring datafile 00004 to /oradata/ORAMPPRD/data/4.dbf channel d1: reading from backup piece /opt/oracle/ora10/product/10.2.0.1.0/dbs/0bhoiq60_1_1
    ORA-19870: error reading backup

    ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3 failover to previous backup
    But when I crosscheck my backup inside RMAN it clearly shows the backup files:
    RMAN> crosscheck backup;
    backup piece
    handle=/opt/oracle/ora10/product/10.2.0.1.0/dbs/0bhoiq60_1_1 recid=7
    stamp=596207811
    crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'AVAILABLE'
    I already checked the file permissions, everybody on the system is able to access this file.
    Do you know what is going wrong here ??
    Cheers,
    Philipp.

  • Data Guard - Steps to install Physical standby database in an RHEL 5.6 x86

    HI Team,
    I need to install Physical standby database in a OS installed from factory with most basic packages. Please find the info in detail
    Standby Server :
    Database Version : 10g Release 2
    Operating System : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga) , RHEL 5.6 x86_64

    -/+ buffers/cache: 4921 29237
    Swap: 10001 63 9937
    - Things i need to validate in the PROD server. Eg : Are the prod db version & standby db version should be the same, Do the OS need to be same ............ETC
    - Basic Linux rpm required for standby server & any other pre-requisites required at standby server
    - Verify connectivity speed btw servers to decide log file size
    - Please give me more detailed steps , where i need to start the steps in installation of Physical standby database.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello again;
    Sorry for the Delay.
    To this question "Do i need to install 10.2.0.2.0 ORACLE_HOME & on top of it apply 10.2.0.3.0 patchset.?"
    Yes.
    All my Oracle 10 installs started with 10.2.0.1 and then I patched up from there. If I remember correctly 10.2.0.1 may bark on Red Hat 5.
    You can work around this by reviewing this file :
    /etc/redhat-releaseSave whatever is in there somewhere and replace it with :
    redhat-3After the install put back what was there and get rid of the "redhat-3".
    I extra RPM's I used were :
    rpm -ivh kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh  compat-libstdc++-33* libaio-devel*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh elfutils-libelf-devel*.x86_64.rpm glibc-devel-2* gcc-4*.x86_64.rpm gcc-c++-4*.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-devel-4*.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers*.x86_64.rpm libgomp*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh  compat-libstdc++-33* libaio-devel*.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh sysstat*I searched my Red Hat Disks before hand and ran the RPM commands as shown. Adjust as needed.
    To verify that the required packages have been installed on your system, run the following command :
    pm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" binutils \
    compat-libstdc++-33 elfutils-libelf elfutils-libelf-devel gcc gcc-c++ glibc \
    glibc-common glibc-devel-2.5 libaio libaio-devel libgcc libstdc++ libstdc++-devel \
    make sysstatThis document is for Oracle 11, but the OS part should be the same.
    http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/installing_oracle_11g_r2_64.html
    Currently I have 3 servers running both Oracle 10 and 11 ( In different homes ) using this OS.
    I have used Oracle 11 document with Oracle 10 also : ( Better once you are setup and a great standby recovery document )

  • Question - Oracle Physical Standby

    Oracle 10.2.0.3 database running on row logical disk (row device) with two thread RAC cluster with CRS and AIX-HACMP implemented on two nodes running AIX6.1 OS
    My question can one create simple Oracle Physical Standby (without data guard etc) Database on different AIX node which do not have HACM and CRS RAC but simple non RAC Oracle S/W installed
    If this can be done how the single one thread non RAC Oracle database will consume and apply two thread archive logs and keep itself to sync with primary database changes.
    Can you please provide some details if this is feasible or not? My guess is for this to happend ORACLE RAC setup with RAC enable Oracle S/W is must with one active thread and other thread can be inactive and not in use.
    Thanks –

    A standby database is not Data Guard ... it is a standby. Data Guard is a specific automated implementation of a Standby. You can do whatever you wish manually if you prefer pain to comfort.
    Personally I'd throw away the IBM stuff and go with Data Guard: It is far superior and does something critical HACM can not do ... guarantee that what is replicated is logically correct. Replicating corruption has no value.

  • Need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on orac

    need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on oracle 10G r2
    I like to have have a Primary ( 10 node RAC cluster ) shipping to a physical standby ( 3 node RAC cluster ) shipping using LGWR .
    So I have a lot of questions
    1) What will be the performance overhead on the Primay if we are using LGWR SYNC option .
    2) Does the overhead depends on the physical distance between primary & physical
    3)Do you recommend a seperate private network for shipping logs between primary and standby.
    4) I know that DGMGRL supports RAC only from 10g. So are there any know issues are bugs using DGMGRL is RAC environments.
    Thanks in advance

    Generally you should have same CPU architecture and same operating system but it's not mandatory to have the exactly the same CPU model, the same number of CPU, the same RAM size etc.
    Actually starting with 11.1 you don't need to have the same hardware setup: it 's even possible to have primary and standby database on different platforms: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/standby.htm#i72053.

  • Data guard synchronization after link down b/w primary and physical standby

    Hi All,
    I have configured data guard on oracle 11gr2 db. Normally switchover between my primary and physical standby happens smoothly and the Apply lag would be zero. Recently We had to test a scenario when the network link between Primary and Physical standby is completely down and Physical standby is isolated completely for more than half an hour.
    When we brought up the link every thing worked smoothly but apply lag started increasing from 0 to around 3 hrs. And then it started reducing to 0. Currently Apply lag and transport lag shows 0.
    But is this normal behaviour of oracle data guard that when the link between primary and physical standby is completely down, It requires 3-4 hrs for resynchronization ??? Even when during isolation, there were very few transactions happend on primary database ??
    Are there any documents available for this scenario??
    Thanks

    Hi, after the link is up, if there were some transactions and produced archive logs it's normal to take some time for resync. To check if 3-4 hours is normal or not, you can repeat the scenario and this time check
    - how many archivelogs does primary produce in this period.
    - after the link is up, does archivelog transfer immediately starts from primary to standby? Is primary able to send these archivelogs parallel?
    - Is there anything wrong with the apply process?
    check primary & standby alert log files, and run this query on standby to check the transport and apply processes:
    SELECT PROCESS, STATUS, THREAD#, SEQUENCE#, BLOCK#, BLOCKS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
    regards

    hi
    I myself have found the solution , when I recover the standby database
    it do recovery but at the end of recovery it raise the error(RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1
    seq 118 lowscn 1392700) but if I begain redo apply before open the database
    and I wait till all redo apply process start and communication between the
    standby database and the primary database start, then I can
    open the standby database and no error will raise
    but if befor restarting redo apply I open the database I'll recieve the
    ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sari/system01.dbf' error

  • Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

    Hi All
    I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.

    Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
    1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
    2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
    On Primary Database:
    *.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
    *.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
    Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
    *.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
    *.db_name='orcl1102'
    *.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/fra_stdby/STDBY_11/archivelog
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=orcl11020 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
    db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
    3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
    4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
    5.Create standby controlfile with rman
    While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
    $>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
    RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
    6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
    $>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
    $>export ORACLE_SID
    $>sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
    SQL>quit
    $> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
    RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
    RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
    Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
    Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
    and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
    and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
    returning error ORA-16191
    FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence
    Errors in file /<>dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
    ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
    Errors in file /<dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
    ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
    So on both primary and standby I confirmed
    SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
    To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
    Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
    Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

    Not sure if I understood it clearly.
    SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
    returns no rows so there is no gap.
    But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
    SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
    SEQUENCE# APPLIED
    75 NO
    74 NO
    76 NO
    77 NO
    I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
    On primary when I give your query -
    SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
    2 FROM v$archived_log
    3 where dest_id=2
    4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;
    I get -
    STANDBY SEQUENCE# APPLIED COMPLETIO
    stdby_11 74 YES 28-JUN-11
    stdby_11 75 YES 28-JUN-11
    stdby_11 76 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 77 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 78 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 79 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 80 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 75 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 74 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 76 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 77 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 78 NO 07-JUL-11
    I have intentionally given
    sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
    because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
    So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
    Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
    Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
    I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
    Thanks for your help again

  • 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,

    HI CKPT,
    Thanks for the reply. All the Archives from primary are transferred to the standby by RFS. Also i tried to register the log files manually even but it says already registered. They are no errors in the primary instance alert log file. Please find the log
