Resizing datafile in a Physical Standby

I have created a physical standby db for testing. One of the tests was to resize a dbf on the primary, knowing that the file could not extend on the standby due to space limitations. This has caused arch files not to be applied to the standby db. How is a situation like this resolved? Do I need to recreate the standby controlfile and replace it with the existing one? Or is this resolved a different way? Thanks.

This question doesn't have much to do with replication. Try asking it in the Grid discussion group, you might have more luck.

Physical standby file resize

Hello.
I have a physical standby database wherein I would like to resize some datafiles which are taking unnecessary space on the server.
At the moment I do not have available space to be added in the mount point.
Can I bring the physical standby database to mount state and fire the ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE commands? Would it impact the application, or would it failover the primary database to the standby if I take the physical standby to mount state?
Please advice.
In case of any queries, please let me know.
Thanks.

Can I bring the physical standby database to mount state and fire the ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE commands? Would it impact the application, Even you fire the commands on primary when you bring standby database down, still those information exist in Archives also,
If you start MRP the commands will be executed on standby also. You cant escape it if STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT set to AUTO
So consider to move the datafiles to different mount point , So that you can avoid such issues, no action need to do on primary at this time.
or would it failover the primary database to the standby if I take the physical standby to mount state? What you are saying from primary to standby & vice versa is Switchover, what is the configuration?
what is the protection mode?

Drop a datafile from physical standby's control file

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical standby database for my production...
1) I have taken cold backup of my primary database on 18-Nov-2013...
2) I added a datafile on 19-nov-2013 ( 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF' )
3) Standby control file was generated on 20-ov-2013 (today) after shutting down and then mounting the primary database...
When i try to recover the newly setup standby using archive files, i am getting the following error (datafile added on 19th Nov is missing)
SQL> recover standby database;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 39: 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF'

Hi,
What is your version?
If you added new datafile or created new tablespace, take backup again for restore new created standby database.
If your standby database running well, DG configuration success, then this datafile will create on standby side, too.
Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO best practice.

Not need any delete datafile from standby side, you must recreate standby database, or you can take RMAN backup and restore to standby side again.

It is not logical, Physical standby must be bit-for-bit same with Primary database.

Datafile autoextend off possible in Physical standby?

Hi,
I am making datafiles auto extend off in primary database. is there anything i should do in standy database as well?
i have 10.2.0.4 version in IBM AIX machines with physical standby database configured...
I have standby_file_management is AUTO...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Raman.

Means standy database will automatically propgate change of auto extend off? as DBA we dont do anything?Well, i have not tested it recently, but in back of my memories which i am trying to recall i have done it.For datafile/tablespace related standby_file_management parameter has to be set to auto, which is already set so you must must not face any problem.You can monitor the alert log file of the standby database.

Adding and resizing datafiles seems to take long.

We have an Oracle 11g R2 Data Guard configuration using Physical Standby.
Simple One Primary and One Standby.
Parameter configurations
standby_file_creation = 'AUTO' and db_file_name_convert are in use
How can we monitor the adding and resizing datafiles on both the Primary and Standby?

The Sys Admin, Storage Team and Network Team found out it was a configuration problem on the software firewall between the Database Host and the NAS.

Error while trying to open physical standby database - (DATA GUARD)

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

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

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:

But when I crosscheck my backup inside RMAN it clearly shows the backup files:

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,

Problem in recover physical standby database(Data Guard) by rman

Hello to all
I have created a physical standby database ,I want make backup of it by rman and when I lose it's datafile I can restore it ,making backup and restore is fine but in recovery I encounter some problem
scenarios is follow
1- In rman I create a backup of standby database by this command:
backup database plus archivelog delete all input;
2- I run this comman in rman for recover standby database
run{
2> set until scn 1392701;

do you know what is problem

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

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,

Issue on physical standby database

Hi
I've a problem on standby database.
I recently added a datafile on primary database, then I scp'ed the data file to physical standby database.On physical standby database I tried performing recovery.
I get following message in my alert log
WARNING! Recovering data file 88 from a fuzzy file. If not the current file
it might be an online backup taken without entering the begin backup command.
ORA-279 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER standby database ...
how can I fix this now.
We keep physical standby database 2 day behind, and apply logs manually.
Physical standby database is maintained manually.
Could someone help me in getting out of this problem.

Versus keeping it in manual mode, you can specify a time "delay" for the application of the logs:
From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm#i1022811
6.2.2 Specifying a Time Delay for the Application of Archived Redo Log Files
In some cases, you may want to create a time lag between the time when redo data is received from the primary site and when it is applied to the standby database. You can specify a time interval (in minutes) to protect against the application of corrupted or erroneous data to the standby database. When you set a DELAY interval, it does not delay the transport of the redo data to the standby database. Instead, the time lag you specify begins when the redo data is completely archived at the standby destination.
Note:
If you define a delay for a destination that has real-time apply enabled, the delay is ignored.
Specifying a Time Delay
You can set a time delay on primary and standby databases using the DELAY=minutes attribute of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to delay applying archived redo log files to the standby database. By default, there is no time delay. If you specify the DELAY attribute without specifying a value, then the default delay interval is 30 minutes.
Canceling a Time Delay
You can cancel a specified delay interval as follows:
For physical standby databases, use the NODELAY keyword of the RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE clause:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE NODELAY;
For logical standby databases, specify the following SQL statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY NODELAY;
These commands result in log apply services immediately beginning to apply archived redo log files to the standby database, before the time interval expires. Also, see:
Section 12.8, "Using a Physical Standby Database with a Time Lag"
Oracle Database SQL Reference for the DELAY attribute of the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE statement

Corrupting the block to continue recovery in physical standby

Hi,
Just like to inquire how I will be able to corrupt the block to be able to continue the recovery in the physical standby.
DB Version: 11.1.0.7
Database Type: Data Warehouse
The setup we have is primary database and standby database, we are not using dataguard, and our standby setup is another physical copy of production which act as standby and being sync using script that being run from time to time to apply the archive log came from production (its not configured to sync using ARCH or LGWR and its corresponding configurations).
Then, the standby database is not sync due to errors encountered while trying to apply the archive log, error is below:

Based on the error log it seems we are hitting some bug from metalink (document id 460169.1 and 882851.1)
my question is, the datafile # is given, block# is known too and the data object is also identified. I just verified that object is not that important, is there a way to set the block# to corrupted to be able the recovery to continue? Then I will just drop the table from production so that will also happen in standby, and the block corrupted will be gone too. Is this feasible?
If its not, can you suggest what's next I can do so the the physical standby will be able to sync again to prod aside from rebuilding the standby?
Please take note that I also tried to dbv the file to confirm if there is marked as corrupted and the result for that datafile is also good:

Thanks

damorgan, i understand the opinion.
just new with the organization and just inherit a data warehouse database without rman backup. I am still setting up the rman backup thats why i can't use rman to resolve the issue, the only i have is physical standby and its not a standby that automatically sync using dataguard or standard standby setup, i am just checking solution that is applicable in the current situation

I have copied the home and changed the init.ora file.
I have created listeners.
I did creating standby Control file Using

Then i copied the datafiles from primary to standby and when i tried to mount the database it gives error

You cannot change the DB_NAME of the standby. It has to be the same as the Primary. You can change (and should) the INSTANCE_NAME (SID) and the DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameters to WMTEST.

Edited by: 889828 on 2011/10/06 2:17 AM

The problem is well decribed in your alert log.....you are using Oracle Managed File names which means you will not be able to duplicate the database as RMAN won't be able to automatically generate new names for the files using the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameters.
Youll have to use the SET NEWNAME command to specify the names of the database files. Done this a few times , and I don't recommend using OMF specifically beacuse of this hassle.
WARNING: OMF is enabled on this database. Creating a physical standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
datafile pathnames.
NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames.
