Single license / Standby Server Preparedness
I have a production server with a Standard Edition One single CPU license. I need to be ready in case the server has a problem and I need to stand up a new server.
At what point is it required to buy another license?
Case 1:
Standby Server: Oracle is not installed.
Primary Server does level 0, level 1 backups to the Flash Recovery Area. The backups are copied the Standby server each night. Furthermore the archive logs are copied to Standby as they are created.
Recovery would involve, installing Oracle and then using rman to restore and recover.
Case 2:
Standby Server: Oracle is installed, it only has the sample schema and is shutdown.
Primary Server does level 0, level 1 backups to the Flash Recovery Area. The backups are copied the Standby server each night. Furthermore the archive logs are copied to Standby as they are created.
Recovery would involve, starting Oracle and then using rman to restore and recover from the FRA.
Case 3:
Standby Server: Oracle is installed, communicates to Primary via Net8, has a copy of the primary database, is mounted and applying archive logs throughout the day.
Primary Server does level 0, level 1 backups to the Flash Recovery Area. The backups are copied the Standby server each night. Furthermore the archive logs are copied to Standby as they are created. Standby applies the arcivelogs via .bat script.
Recovery would involve, applying the last archive log and opening.
I’m trying to find the fastest road to recovering to a new server without needing to shell out $5k for a license and another $1k per year for support.

I'm pretty sure doing any of my proposed solutions is of the developer license, as this a production environment. It seems like it a violation of the license to have Oracle installed on 2 servers even if one is shutdown.

That would be my opinion as well.

It's like Oracle requires us to install it on the 2nd server only when the 1st server it out of commission. I really don't know.

Still don't know why you don't have an image backup of the disk partition that Oracle consumes.
I have multiple OS's installed on machines in their own partitions. On Linux you can easily use the DD command to copy an entire partition, sector by sector, to a backup file. Restoring it takes only a few minutes even for a 20 GB partition. An Oracle-only installation is nowhere near that size.
I can restore the OS or an installed app in a few minutes from an image backup. This is really easy on Linux since there is no registry to deal with. At some point you need to start heading towards virtual disks.
Using Oracle's VM technology you just have a VM template (image) that gets deployed to a server. You only need the license for the servers you actually deploy to. So if a server goes down you redeploy the OS template to another server and keep right on trucking.
You should really look into VM and start getting familiar with it. It is a game changer.
The Oracle VM Templates main page is
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/database-092479.html
They have a VM Templates for RAC also.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/rac-template-11grel2-166623.html
Using Oracle's virtual box you have plenty of pre-built developer VMs available for download
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html
And plenty of Oracle-provided articles about how to use VirtualBox and those templates
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/howto-use-vb-templates-1695904.html
I have a single server that has multiple VMs running on it for different OSs including Windows XP. I rarely pick up any viruses because each system is in its own virtual machine. Periodically I just redeploy a VM template for XP and start fresh. Important files and page files are on on high-speed shared drives.
You are missing out on the revolution if you haven't ventured into the VM area yet.

Single instance standby for 2-node RAC
Hi,
Oracle Version:11.2.0.1
Operating system:Linux
Here i am planing to create single instance standby for my 2-node RAC database.Here i am creating my single instance standby database on 1-node of my 2-node RAC DB.
1.) Do i need to configure any separate listener for my single instance standby in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin in ORACLE user or need to change in Grid user login.
2.) Below is the error when i am duplicating my primary 2-Node RAC to single instance DB. And it is shutting down my auxiliary instance.

Can a single license be used to multiple pieces of content?
What I'd like to do is have a user retrieve a single license and be able to view all content belonging to a bundle of media.
Hi Pedro,
Thanks for the clarification. I'll try to answer this question from 2 different angles. : )
[ 1 ]
Flash Access differs from WMDRM/PlayReady in the way licenses are acquired. With Flash Access, the DRMManager.loadVoucher() API is used to retrieve a license. There is no need to specify a Key/Content/License ID; the only data required is the content's metadata (DRMContentData), which contains all the information needed by the client and server to issue/use the correct license.
For additional information on the client workflow involved with playing back Flash Access content, please view the AS3 Developer's Guide for Flash Access.
[ 2 ]
To answer your original question - yes, you can encrypt multiple content using the same Content-Encryption-Key, and also the same License-ID (See our Java API). By doing this, your client can download a single license, and all encrypted content you have can utilize the same license to playback video. However, your workflow will be the exact same (acquire metadata, call DRMManager.loadVoucher(), call NetStream.play()), so you won't really notice any difference between using the same CEK or LicenseID.
Make sense, or have I added more confusion?
cheers,
/Eric. -
ORACLE 10G RAC+STANDBY server
We have a ORACLE RAC 10G based on 2 nodes with 1 disk array for test purposes.
Now, we want to connect a standby server to RAC with its own disk array. Standby server with array will be located in another city.
How can we realize it?Hi friend,
We have tested with the following : we have 1og RAC (10.2.0.3.0) with Single Physical Standby database :
RAC Database :
bash-3.00$ export ORACLE_SID=racdb
bash-3.00$ rman target sys/sysracdb@racdb
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@racdb
RMAN> backup device type disk format '/backup/rman/%U' database plus archivelog;
RMAN> backup device type disk format '/backup/rman/%U' current controlfile for standby;
Note : Transfer the backup to the standby database location.
Single Instance Database
SQL> create spfile from pfile='/oracle/admin/stdby/pfile/initstdby.ora';
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup nomount;
[oracle@linux7 pfile]$ rman target sys/sysracdb@racdb auxiliary=sys/sysracdb
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby;
Note : It will restore....
bash-3.00$ export ORACLE_SID=stdby

Restore only 1 tablespace to standby server.
Hello,
I would like to restore only 1 tablespace to a standby server.
This is what I was planned to do :
startup nomount of the standby server
connect with rman from the primary to the standby with :
rman target / auxiliary sys/xxxx@standby_SID
set until scn 4847169298;
restore standby controlfile;
restore tablespace xxx
But my question, do I need to specify something to skip the other tablespace ?
How will my controlfile know that this standby db only has this single tablespace and that the other tbs are not on this server ?
any help welcome,
KristofYou will need, at a minimum,
SYSTEM
SYSAUX (if 10g)
the Undo tablespace (whatever name you have given it).
.. and the tablespace xxx that you want
If you use the controlfile, you'd have to take all the other tablespaces offline

Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?
We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.Hi
Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

Cold Standby Server for Crystal Reports Server...
Hi there,
We have the confirmation from Hong Kong SAP that Crystal Reports Server 2008 does not come with any clustering feature as Business Objects Enterprise does. We are to set up a cold standby server for the production server for high availability. Below is our procedures to work it out:
1) we set up two machines for CRS 2008 with the same licence key and identical hardware; otherwise we clone the production machine to an identical hardware for a cold standby machine
2) we are using our Oracle instance (same instance for both the production and the standby one) for CRS 2008 repository; we bring the production sever offline and perform the standby server installation of CRS 2008 without resetting the repository Oracle database
3) we are to use a SAN LUN for storing the reports produced by CRS 2008
Once the production server does not work properly due to any hardware problem, we switch it off manually and turn on the standby machine and the Crystal Reports service should resume with no repository problem (all the settings) and no loss of printed reports. We would be grateful if you could confirm the feasibility of these procedures. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Jason FUCorrect, CRS is for a single machine use only, that why it is not as expensive as the full BOE. Talk to Sales to upgrade.

Proper security structure for Single Sign on Server
We are all used to how we design security structure for vCenter Server if you have had an existing VMware environment prior to 5.1. Who should have administrative privileges in vCenter Server, what roles, permissions, and so on should be assigned to what users and groups - these questions have already been addressed in our current configuration.
Now Single Sign on introduces a significant new point of consideration for determining issues of access and authentication.
I'd like to get some ideas on how this should be handled. For example, should previous VMware administrators by definition become Single Sign on Administrators? Should the administrators of the Active Directory domain now start to get involved with the Single Sign on Server?
For example, Single Sign on now forces VMware administrators to configure things like:
-Password Complexity Policy for SSO
-Password Expiration for SSO
-Lockout Policy
We already probably have these things tightly controlled in AD and locked down with group policy, but you can't apply group policy directly to an SSO server and make it receive a GPO from Active Directory. (You can make the Windows OS that SSO is running on have a GPO applied, but it won't configure SSO itself, just the OS).
VMware admins are looking at a new set of questions relating to authentication and authorization. Someone has to have written something or will be writing something to help us get the big picture of what is changing with SSO if anything and how we need to look at SSO from a security design and best practices.
Should we just make existing vCenter Server admins SSO admins or do we need to take a step back and reconsider?Hello,
Actually, yes. SSO is fairly robust in 5.5. It has a few limitations around email of expired passwords, but that is mainly because some people do not use them. I use SSO to provide the usernames and passwords for all my VMware vCenter and related product service accounts. I.e. an account for vdp, Horizon, vCops, Log Insight, etc. This is more about keeping systems segregated once more with no real need for AD for services. But AD via SSO is used by users.
Read the documentation, and determine how SSO fits into your current password policy and take a long hard look at your virtualization management environment. Is there a 1 service account per service talking directly to vCenter? If not, SSO can help you implement that. The key is to match its functionality to your security policy.
Best regards,

Is there a way in install a trial version of Project server on a Licensed edition server of sharepoint 2013? Is there anyway around this or do I need to make a new box all trial versions to test this out?
Thanks
James T.FJames,
Yes, it is possible , however I wont recommend to do it. Since, once Project trial period expires you need to uninstall project server which can not be done without uninstalling SharePoint. Unless you are willing to rebuild the farm once your
testing is completed

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?
Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-garyHello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.

Logical standby server stopped applying changes
Hi
I set up a logical standby database with database guard and it worked fine for some time. But recently I had to use it again and discovered that applying changes from primary database to secondary database just stopped working. I see in V$ARCHIVED_LOG one entry per day. If I restart the logical standby then the changes from primary server are also applied. But if I just make a change on primary server and even call 'alter system switch logfile' then I see an entry in V$ARCHIVED_LOG on primary server but not on standby server (BTW in general there are much more entries in this view on the primary server). I checked pairs of log files indicated by the parameter *.log_file_name_convert in standby server's spfile: their last changed date is always the same.
I will paste spfile of my standby server (dh5). Primary server name is dh2.

JMHi,
Nice to hear you issue got resolved.
It is good practice to keep monitoring the progress of SQL apply on the logical standby on a regular basis.

Archived log to standby server stopped
Hi,
I configured dataguard standby server few weeks ago,
I set log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=JHRD0107_OFS1 OPTIONAL'
and log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE in primary server,
and very go fine until yesterday, I shutdown my standby server and set the log_archive_dest_state=DEFER,
when I tried to startup again the standby server, and set log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE again,
the archive stop sending the archived log to log_archive_dest_2.
No error was found in alert log of primary and standby server.
It seem that the primary server don't know there is another archive destination..
The database version is 10g 10.2.0.4
Anyone what could be the cause of this?

Resizing redo log files on a 3 node RAC with single node standby database
Hi
On a 3 node 11g RAC system,I have to resize the redo logs on primary database from 50M to 100M. I was planning to do the following steps:
SQL> select group#,thread#,members,status from v$log;
GROUP# THREAD# MEMBERS STATUS
1 1 3 INACTIVE <-- whenefver INACTIVE, logfile group can be dropped
2 1 3 CURRENT & resized, switch logfile can change logfile group
3 1 3 INACTIVE
4 2 3 INACTIVE
5 2 3 INACTIVE
6 2 3 CURRENT
7 3 3 INACTIVE
8 3 3 INACTIVE
9 3 3 CURRENT
9 rows selected.
SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;
Database altered.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1
GROUP 1 (
'/PROD/redo1/redo01a.log',
'/PROD/redo2/redo01b.log',
'/PROD/redo3/redo01c.log'
) SIZE 100M reuse; 2 3 4 5 6
Database altered.
However I am not sure what needs to be done for the standby. The standby_file_management is set to auto and it is single instance standby.
SQL> select group#,member from v$logfile where type='STANDBY';
GROUP#
MEMBER

/PROD/flashback/PROD/onlinelog/o1_mf_10_7b44gy67_.log

12
/PROD/flashback/PROD/onlinelog/o1_mf_12_7b44hjcr_.log
Please let me know.
Thanks
SumathyHello;
For Redo and Standby redo this won't help :
standby_file_management is set to auto
On the Standby cancel recovery, then drop and recreate the redo and or Standby redo.
Then start recovery again.
Example ( I have a habit of removing the old file at the OS to avoid REUSE and conflicts )
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT='MANUAL';
alter database add standby logfile group 4
('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/standby_redo04.log') size 100m;
ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT='AUTO'

10.2.0.4 patch on single instance standby database
Hi All,
We have production database 10.2.0.3 running with RAC having 2 nodes on Solaris 10. We have patched this
databases to 10.2.0.4 (both nodes) on production without any issue.
We have a physical standby database (10.2.0.3) with 2 nodes on solaris 10. But we have stopped node2 sometime
back and currently it's a single instance standby database. Whe nwe are trying to apply patch to standby dataabse
it's showing both node during installation and installation fails when it tries to search for node2.
What's the solution for this problem? Any document on how to patch the single instance standby database when
production is running in RAC.I think you are basically saying that you have a 2 node RAC cluster with 1 node down (possibly permanently) and you want to just patch 1 of the nodes?
It's not overly a surprise the installer is trying to patch the other node, when as far as your inventory is concerned you have a 2 node cluster.
Have you tried running the installer with the -local option?
This should just patch your local node. Obviously the dictionary changes will get applied via MRP from the primary db.

Access to individual photo files in Finder
I recently updated to iLife 08. I've noticed a couple of things but the most confusing is that when I go through finder>pictures>Library.iPhoto instead of having "roll" folders like before, I now only see the iPhoto icon (the sunset pic to be exact).
