Standby Database on separate server

Hi all,
I'm running Oracle 10g Standard Edition and i'm trying to setup a manual standby database. From what i have read this should be possible w/ Stand Edition. I have it working when both db's are on the same server. Now i need it to work when the db's are on separate linux servers. I have the following set in my init files for the log_archive_dest_# params:
Primary Db init file:
*.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG'=(PRDDB,PRDDB2)'
prddb.log_archive_dest_1='location="/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area/PRDDB/"','valid_for(ONLINE_LOGFILE,ALL_ROLES)','db_unique_name=PRDDB'
*.log_archive_dest_state_1=enable
prddb.log_archive_dest_2='service=PRDDB2','valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role)','db_unique_name=PRDDB2'
*.log_archive_dest_state_2=enable
Standby Db init file:
*.db_file_name_convert='/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/prddb/','/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/prddb2/'
*.log_file_name_convert='/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recover_area/PRDDB/','/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area/PRDDB2/','/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/prddb/','/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/prddb2/'
*.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(PRDDB,PRDDB2)'
prddb2.log_archive_dest_1='location="/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area/PRDDB2/"','valid_for(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)','db_unique_name=PRDDB2'
*.log_archive_dest_state_1=enable
prddb2.log_archive_dest_2='service=PRDDB','valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role)','db_unique_name=PRDDB'
*.log_archive_dest_state_2=enable
The problem i'm having is the arch log files aren't being transported to the other server. Do I have to have a common mount on the servers for them to send the log files (setting archive_log_archive_dest_2 to the common mount between servers)?? Currently i don't have a common mount between the 2 servers.
How does oracle transmit these log files? Does it take service name in log_archive_dest_2 and know which server & directory to copy the logs too. When i have this all setup on one server the logs succesfully copy to log_archive_dest_2 but i'm stumped as to how it works with separate servers accross the network. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks for the info Kuljeet. I was afraid of that. But Standard Edition should be able to run a Manual Standby database correct?? I am now manually copying over the archive logs but they are not automatically getting applied to the standby database. Any tips on what parameter to check in order to get these archive logs applying automatically. I have issued the "alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session" so the databse should be in recover mode and applying the archive log files.
If i try and define the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 parameter the database tells me the
"ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Managed Standby". I queried v$option and Managed Standby is set to false.

  • Problem while creating Physical standby database on remote Server

    Hi
    I try to create a physical standby datbaase using OEM 10gr2, it is working when I create on same server. No issue but when I try to create same on remote server it is giving below warning and process failing. Please let me know what needs to be down in this senario...
    It is showing redo log information in v$log and v$log_file but not creating physically on PHYSICAL Standby instance..
    I appriciate your help and ur time too..
    These messages are from PRIMARY database alert*.log file

    Well, it is simply warning that "Creating a physical

    datafile pathnames.
    NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures

    For instance, the path for the logfile name in "ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl5.f' SIZE 52428800" may need to be changed manually. It is advisable to check the mentioned documentation.

  • Physical standby database implementation

    Hi!
    I am trying to implement a Physical standby database, I have already done it with both the primary and secondary in the same server and successfully shipped the logs and have it configured using Data Guard.
    But Now I am trying to implement the Physical standby in a separate server, but the logs are not getting shipped, I am using Oracle 9i Enterprise edition. I have checked all the steps, but not able to find the reason, why the logs are not getting shipped to the standby.
    Also I am not able to discover the Primary node from the Standby and I have Windows 2003 server in my standby and Windows XP Prof. in the Primary, Is this the reason, why my logs are not getting shipped?
    Please help. Thanks in Advance.

  • 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.
    Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
    Database Version - Oracle 11R2
    I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
    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

    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

  • Redo log files are not applying to standby database

    Hi everyone!!
    I have created standby database on same server ( windows XP) and using oracle 11g . I want to synchronize my standby database with primary database . So I tried to apply redo logs from primary to standby database as follow .
    My standby database is open and Primary database is not started (instance not started) because only one database can run in Exclusive Mode as DB_NAME is same for both database.  I run the following command on the standby database.
                SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    It returns "Database altered" . But when I checked the last archive log on primary database, its sequence is 189 while on standby database it is 177. That mean archived redo logs are not applied on standby database.
    The tnsnames.ora file contains entry for both service primary & standby database and same service has been used to transmit and receive redo logs.
    1. How to resolve this issue ?
    2.Is it compulsory to have Primary database open ?
    3. I have created standby  control file by using  command
              SQL> ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS ‘D:\APP\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTCAT\CONTROLFILE\CONTROL_STAND1.CTL‘;
    So database name in the standby control file is same as primary database name (PRIM). And hence init.ora file of standby database also contains DB_NAME = 'PRIM' parameter. I can't change it because it returns error of mismatch database name on startup. Should  I have different database name for both or existing one is correct ?
    Can anybody help me to come out from this stuck ?
    Thanks & Regards
    Tushar Lapani

    Thank you Girish. It solved  my redo apply problem. I set log_archive_dest parameter again and then I checked archive redo log sequence number. It was same for both primary and standby database. But still table on standby database is not being refresh.
    I did following scenario.
    1.  Inserted 200000 rows in emp table of Scott user on Primary database and commit changes.
    2. Then I synchronized standby database by using Alter database command. And I also verify that archive log sequence number is same for both database. It mean archived logs from primary database has been applied to standby database.
    3. But when I count number of rows in emp table of scott user on standby database, it returns only 14 rows even of redo log has been applied.
    So my question is why changes made to primary database is not reflected on standby database although redo logs has been applied ?
    Thanks

  • Looking to use DG Broker to create new standby database

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a good document that can help me to create another standby database on a new server.
    I'm running Oracle 11.2 EE on Solaris 10.
    We already have one standby database, but now, I want to create another standby database on another server, which ultimately I will make primary and then replace and destroy our current primary/standby databases.
    Also, just for the heck of it, I tried to look in our DB Console, and the "Add standby database" is grey'd out.
    Is this because I am only using DB Console, and not Grid?
    But if that were the case, why would the option even be in DB Console, or perhaps is there a lmiitation to the number of standby databases you can manage with DB Console?

    1) Do not confuse Data Guard Broker and Enterprise Manager: DG Broker is mainly a background process (DMON) that can be controlled by EM or with DGMGRL on the command line
    2) Only the Grid Control flavor of EM can manage Data Guard Configurations - regardless of the number of Primary or Standby Databases
    3) DGMGRL cannot create a new Standby Database - Grid Control can
    Kind regards

    Oracle 10.2.0.2 repository
    Grid Control 10.1.0.4

    We don't have a standby database because the server isn't listed in the list of Standby Database Locations to choose from. We are trying to create the standby database.
    We've tried to Discover the standby server but it seems to already be Discovered because it is listed as a target when all targets are displayed (target type of host).
    It's almost like the grid control sees the server but for some reason feels it's inelligible to be a standby server.

  • Incorrect Standby Database name in V$database

    I'm trying to create a standby database (mptstb on server mptdb2) from a primary database (mptpr on server mptdb1). I create the standby controlfile on the primary database using the 'alter database create standby controlfile...' and then move it to the standby server. When I do a startup mount of the standby database and check the contents of the v$database view, it shows name=mptpr. It should be mptstb. When I try to run RMAN on the standby (rman target /), it connects to target MPTPR and not mptstb. I cannot figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    The database name for the standby database is the same (but using NID utility there is a chance to change the database name).
    You can use service names to connect to the standby and lock_name_space (Oracle 9i)/db_unique_name(Oracle 10g) to differ databases using different names.
    That might be the case for databases on the same server. But if you use different servers you can use the same database name.

  • Standby database archive log apply in production server.

    Dear All,
    How I apply standby database archive log apply in production server.
    Please help me.

    How can i use standby database as primary for that 48 hour ?Perform a switchover (role transitions).
    First check if the standby is in sync with the primary database.
    Primary database:
    sql>select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log; ---> Value AStandby database:
    sql>select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES'; -----> Value BCheck if Value B is same as Value A.
    If the standby is in sycn with the primary database, then perform the switchover operation (refer the below link)

  • DR Server: Standby Database

    Hello All,
    I need to Design a DR Server for my Client.
    I have decided to go for a hot Standby Database.
    I am very new to DB2. Are there any Documents that can help me on designing the procedure for this. If you can let me know the steps/commands in detail that would also be helpful.
    I have read the DB2 Operations guide available in SAP Marketplace which gives a high level Strategy.
    1. On Source System create a Snapshot of the DB. What exactly is a Snapshot?  How to create a Split Image?
    2.On the Target (DR Server) create the db after mounting the split image.
    Can you please help me in understanding how to aplly/execute this.
    Thanks,Bidwan

    Hi,
    Please see the following documentation which should be of help:
    [BACKUP DATABASE command|http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0001933.html]
    The default behavior for a snapshot backup is a FULL DATABASE OFFLINE 
    backup of all paths that make up the database including all containers,
    local volume directory, database path (DBPATH), and primary log and   
    mirror log paths (INCLUDE LOGS is the default for all snapshot backups
    unless EXCLUDE LOGS is explicitly stated).
