Rac with Standby non-RAC

Hi hussein,
EBS R12.1
OEL 5.4
Is it possible that a EBS RAC setup will have a Standby (dataguard) which is non-rac?
Thanks a lot,
Ms K

  • Configuring Non RAC physical standby fro RAC

    Hi,
    EBS-R12i , Oracle Database:11g
    We are in project design phase and following is the hardware setup for Critical banking domain:
    Database (2 node RAC)-Solaris 10
    Application server server (2 server) -Solaris 10
    Web server (2 server for Failover)= RHEL
    For DR
    Database (1 node)-Solaris 10
    need to know
    1.What are the best practice to implement this kind of setup and steps to configure DR as Non-RAC physical standby for RAC database server.
    2.What are implication if we go for single node except failover node unavailability for DR.
    3.What are the steps of Switchover in this case.
    4.What's the recommended backup solution for this setup of 8-10 Terabyte database with db growth rate of 50% per year.

    1.What are the best practice to implement this kind of setup and steps to configure DR as Non-RAC physical standby for RAC database server.There really aren't any differences in setting up your physical standby in a non-RAC configuration. It is after the physical standby is setup that it is converted to a clustered database, if desired. In your case, you do not desire the conversion.
    The best place to start for best practices in setting up your physical standby is the Oracle documentation on the subject.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17022/toc.htm
    2.What are implication if we go for single node except failover node unavailability for DR.The major implications are that you will be running with less horsepower after a failover. So depending on your DR resources, you may have to scale back application access. In addition to less resources, you will also have less availability because you only have one node. Should that node then fail, you will not have a node to failover to.
    3.What are the steps of Switchover in this case.The steps are identical if the physical standby is a single node or multiple nodes. These steps are outlined in the Oracle documentation.
    4.What's the recommended backup solution for this setup of 8-10 Terabyte database with db growth rate of 50% per year.What are your recovery requirements? Without knowing your recovery requirements, a valid backup solution cannot be determined. How much data loss can you afford in the event of a failure? Do you have data that can be read only? In the event of a failure, how long before you are required to be up and running? Are you required to restore and recover at an offsite location?

    I am not sure what you mean by "OS replication".
    Whether you use RAC or a Failover Cluster, the database has to be on Shared Storage (which requires no "replication").
    RAC licence costs are higher than that for a Failover Cluster because both instances have to licenced and the RAC option has to be purchased.
    Of course, if the two nodes together are limited to 4 CPUs, you could consider Standard Edition to reduce the licencing costs.
    DBA skills requirements are also higher for RAC.
    With respect to your question "...will be sufficient for the avaialability purposes" it really depends on what your requirements are. People use RAC for Avaialability when it really is better positioned for Scalability. If you want only availability and can afford a few minutes downtime, and each node in the cluster can individually handle the user/batch loads, a Failover Cluster would suffice.
    I suggest that you raise this question in the "Database - General" forum : General Database Discussions
    or the "Real Application Clusters" forum : Real Application Clusters
    "Replication" is the wrong forum for such a question.
    When you do re-raise your question, please clarify your understinding of "OS replication".

    Regards,
    DBEdit spfile and set cluster_database=false before starting database in upgrade mode(optionally you can unset other cluster parameters).
    So you upgrade using only 1 instance of database.
    Once the upgrade is finished start the other instance as well and set cluster_database=true
    Also see preupgrade process - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/upgrade.htm#i1011979

  • Changes between a RAC(Objects) and NON RAC

    Hi all,
    I want to findout what all the different things to be considered when an application is made to run on RAC env.
    For eg: I found there is a difference between the way the Sequences are used in a RAC env from Non RAC.
    Are there any guidelines for the Objects used in RAC?
    Also can you point me to any doc related to tuning the interconnect as we are identifying wait events related to cluster "Cluster was consuming significant database time"
    Thanks.

    Hi hyddba,
    Absolutely, at database level for application has no changes at objects.
    At application code has changes to benefit aplications from failover TAF and FAN events.

  • SAN mirroring from  RAC production to non-RAC DR

    Hi Experts:
    My client has a new project using 11gR2 and due to various reasons, they need to do the followings:
    - Production Application #1 - 2 UNIX machines (likely AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
    - Production Application #2 - 1 UNIX machine (AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
    - DR site - Use 1 UNIX machine to host DBs (i.e. all non-RAC) for for both Applications #1 & #2.
    Data are replicated from production to DR via SAN mirroring. (Clients decide not to use DataGuard for whatever reason).
    I tried to find related info from Oracle website and Metalink with no luck.
    Can anyone share there experiences on this , such as:
    - Any restrictions or limitations ?
    - Can we use only 1 Oracle binaries to host both DBs in DR site ?
    - What about fallback from DR site back to the 2 production sites (1 RAC, 1 non-RAC) ?
    Thanks and Regards
    Airon

    - Any restrictions or limitations ? Assuming you are using Same version & release. Of course you can have Different OS,
    Here you can either have Normal FILE system, Lets suppose you have RAC on ASM even non-RAC(DR) you can have either on Normal file system (or) ASM file system.
    Just take care of size of the mount point of where database resides & archives area size.
    - Can we use only 1 Oracle binaries to host both DBs in DR site ?When standby is non-RAC, you have to use only one ORACLE_HOME, Here only Recovery will be in progress, No online threads will be active.
    - What about fallback from DR site back to the 2 production sites (1 RAC, 1 non-RAC) ?What that mean? You mean switchover?
    before switchover to a physical standby, all but one primary instances should be stopped; after switchover, started again.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17022/rac_support.htm#i641732
    Please describe more on it.
    - For the production DB (application #1) with RAC, ASM will be used. So, what files from the 2 Unix servers / SAN must be replicated to DR?
    - For the production DB (application #2) without RAC, ASM will not be used. So, what files from the 1 Unix server / SAN must be replicated DR ?I'm not sure for which application you are talking, All the database will be replicated to DR site either SAN or normal.
    So you have to build standby database, Check below procedure to achieve this.
    Here is document from MAA.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10g-racprimarysingleinstance-131970.pdf
    - In the setup of DR DB server, what type of Oracle installation (need full install of grid + DB software , or just DB software) is needed.In standby you can have just Oracle Home. But cluster_database will be FALSE.
    Let us know if any questions.

  • Restore RAC database from non-RAC source - EBS R12.1.1

    We have restored (PIT) a RAC database from a non-RAC (but ASM) source and I was wondering if that was a reasonable thing to do.
    The reason I ask is that I seem to remember that in the upgrade to R12.1.1 the upgrade driver had a different list of jobs to do when the target was RAC vs when it was non-RAC... so is it possible the EBS R12.1.1 code is different for RAC (meaning we dont have the right code base in the DB since we restored a non-RAC source to a RAC destination)?
    Disclaimer - I am NOT a DBA .. just trying to identify some potential problems we are troubleshooting.
    Thanks in advance!
    EBS R12.1.1
    OEL 5
    11gR2

    We have a RMAN back up of the non-RAC database that was restored and PIT recovered on the RAC database.Is it a full database backup?
    The "code" base I am referring to is all the db stored objects for R12 EBS .. database compiled code.Restoring the RMAN backup on the target node is not enough. Have you run AutoConfig or postclone? Does your instance know that this is a a single instance and not a RAC one?
    I am nervous that there may be alternate versions of the code to run in RAC vs non-RAC .. for instance I know that some of the ASCP jobs use DBMS PIPES and that can be tricky with RAC and Concurrent Manager.. And when we did the upgrade to R12, pointing it @ RAC generated more and different jobs than when it was not pointed @ RAC .. so SOMETHING was different according to the APPS ADPATCH/ADADMIN utilities.Please explain in details what is the purpose of doing this restore and what exactly you are trying to achieve. What cloning procedure you follow to refresh the target instance?
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • RMAN duplicate from RAC with ASM to RAC with ASM

    I'm still reading and trying to figure out how to duplicate...and I'm finding that there are some extra considerations you have to work with with doing a RAC system.
    Does anyone have any good links to articles/docs that spell out what to do in this scenario?
    I'm wanting to duplicate from tape backups, using NO connectivity to the source/target....
    My tape backups do include the spfile and control files (autobackup) from the source.
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne

    Possibly you are confusing a database with a database.
    A RAC database is a just a database. What is different is the instances, the clusterware, and the storage: For example ASM.
    A backup is a backup is a backup.
    Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do, on what hardware, operating system, version, and edition.
    RMAN can not create an instance either RAC or stand-alone.Thank you for the reply.
    I have my source system, OS = RHEL5, running Oracle 11Gr2...5 node RAC cluster.
    I'm doing RMAN backups to tape...hourly arch. logs, Daily incremental lvl=1 backups and weekly incremental lvl=0
    None of the tape backups have ever been tested for restoring...and I've never restored a database myself before, total noob here.
    I have a test area I've set up. I have a 2 node RAC cluster, running 11Gr2 and OS=RHEL5.
    The tape is accessible from both systems.
    I am wanting to test the tape backups...and thought the RMAN DUPLICATE process would be the way to go.
    I am wanting to NOT connect to the source database...trying to simulate somewhat of a disaster recovery scenario. I'm only wanting to use tape backup, and the test area for the auxiliary instance.
    So far what I've seen I need to learn to do is something like:
    1. Create a password file for new aux database to be duplicated to
    2. Establish Net connectivity...
    3. Create initial parameter file for aux instance
         Due to a bug in note:334899.1, add this (because of RAC system)
         norecovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
    4. Start aux instance NOMOUNT
    Everything I'm reading though...is basically doing this from single instance to single instance...and what little info I've seen on doing it from RAC, indicates there are some differences. The "_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE" is one thing I found...but wondering what else.
    Also, so many of the examples I'm finding...are doing the duplication connecting to the target/source...and also doing backups to disk rather than tape...
    Right now, I'm at #1...trying to figure what to put into an init pfile...I'm seeing DB_name, which will be the same as the one I'm cloning from.
    I'm not sure what else....
    I'm wondering if this is necessary..since on the tape backups from the source...I backup the SPFILE...can that not be used somehow in this?
    I'm seeing for the init file, examples show that I need to put in entries for control files and redo logs....if the source system was down and gone...how would I know where these were on the old system? This isn't documented anywhere....is there a way to do this if you didn't know.
    If not..guess I need to go through all systems and document the layouts of where everything is located.
    Also...most examples I'm finding, in addition to being single instance backup and restore/duplication...they are all using regular file systems....not much to go on with using ASM.
    Anyway, I'm trying to learn here...and am having trouble finding examples to go from that match my setup.
    Thank you in advance,

  • JDBC load balancing with non RAC replicated instances

    Hi,
    The thin JDBC load balancing feature only works with RAC clusters or it can be used with two non RAC replicated instances using the same service name?
    Thanks,
    Ezio.

    Thank you Douglas for your time.
    I assumed the first case (database connection load balancing). I thought that the listener would do the load balancing and failover trick. So, I configured the JDBC connection as follow:
    String MM_loadBalance1_DRIVER = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
    String MM_loadBalance1_USERNAME = "scott";
    String MM_loadBalance1_PASSWORD = "tiger";
    String MM_loadBalance1_STRING = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=" +
    " (LOAD_BALANCE=on) (FAILOVER=on)"+
    " (ADDRESS_LIST="+
    " (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=test1) (PORT=1521))"+
    " (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=test2)(PORT=1521)))"+
    " (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=test)))";
    Driver DriverRecordset1 = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_loadBalance1_DRIVER).newInstance();
    Connection ConnRecordset1 = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_loadBalance1_STRING,MM_loadBalance1_USERNAME,MM_loadBalance1_PASSWORD);
    But, when one of the instances was down (test1), the connection failed, it didn't failed over to the other instance (test2).
    So I wondered if it failed due to some misconfiguration issue or because it only works with RAC instances...

  • 11gR2 Database Installation with ASM - NOT RAC

    Hi ,
    Im littel bet confused about the "Grid Infrastructure" in 11gR2.
    In oracle 10gR2 i had to install oracle software twice.
    1. one for the rdbms instance and the second software on for the ASM instance.
    2. Then from the asm home i run dbca and choose "configure automatic storage management" and continue with the installation.
    3. Finally i run dbca from the rdbms home and attached the dabs to the asm.
    11gR2 intreduce the "Grid Infrastructure" also asm with for non-rac installation .
    I would like to know if i still need to install twice the oracle software (once for the asm home and second for the rdbms home) and
    only then continue with the "Grid Infrastructure" , or the : "Grid Infrastructure" already contain the asm software , for the asm home
    Thanks

    Is that true that you have to install a separate set of binaries for ASM and one for the RDBMS. I don't think it is in either 10g or 11gr1.
    I do know that in 11gr2 you only need one home for the ASM_HOME and CRS_HOME which saves one installation.

    on source db:
    1. alter system switch logfile; alter database begin backup;
    2. Copy all database files (ie. datafile, tempfile, control file, spfile/pfile, redo ... etc) to target server
    3. alter database end backup;
    On target server:
    0. Set cluster_database=false in the pfile
    1. Startup mount;
    2. alter database datafile '<datafile>' end backup;
    3. alter database open;
    if you want to rename datafile & rename database, you need to recreate control file.
