Creation of Logical Standby Database Using RMAN ACTIVE DATABASE COMMAND
Hi All,
I am in confusion how to create logical standby database from primary database using rman active database command.
What i did:-
Create primary database on machine 1 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2
Create standby database on machine 2 on RHEL 5 With Oracle 11gR2 from primary using RMAN active database command
Trying to create logical standby database on machine 3 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2 using RMAN active database command from primary.
The point which confuse me is to start the logical standby in nomount mode on machine 3 with which pfile like i create the pfile for standby database do i need to create the pfile for logical standby db.
I done the creation of logical standby database by converting physical standby to logical standby database
I am following the below mentioned doc for the same:
Creating a physical and a logical standby database in a DR environment | Chen Guang's Blog
Kindly guide me how to work over the same or please provide me the steps of the same.
Thanks in advance.Thanks for your reply
I already started the logical standby database with pfile in nomount mode. And successfully completed the duplication of database. by mentioning the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter.
But i am not able to receive the logs on the above mentioned blog i run the sql command to check the logs but getting "no rows selected"
My primary database pfile is:

Can you please confirm if the directory E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\AIRPRIM is existing on standby box and rman can write to that location (free space & permissions)
If the issue is still present provide us the control_files parameter from standby..

Creating standby database using RMAN
When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
have to be accessible from host where standby database
is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
Thanks a lot for advice,
M.OK, thanks,
I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
database instance is running on the host where I want
to create standby database. The running instance is for
testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
parameters as in primary database.
I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
database I can specify distinct one for standby database? -

Edited by: user9198889 on Jul 6, 2011 8:29 AMHave you restored from the recent backup?
validate the backup compeltion_time and then retry the operation, Are you restoring from tapes?yes its recent backup(last and only backup infact ) , the backup took couple of days to run..
the backup was executing using this command BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE TAG 'LEV1_BCKP_2011-06-27_11_54' PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT
there was no full backup so oracle must have taken full one and not incremental correct?
first logseq that was back's up is : 35818
primary uses local disk for its db and backup
standby that i am trying to create is on asm. i have copied backup to FRA and restored to +data its recovery that is failing now -

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
$> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
returning error ORA-16191
FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence
Errors in file /<>dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
Errors in file /<dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
So on both primary and standby I confirmed
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.Not sure if I understood it clearly.
SELECT * FROM V$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 -
Standby Database with RMAN on ASM
Hi,
I am using redhat Linux AS 4 and my database is 10.2.0.1. This database used ASM for storage of data files, control files, online redo logs. Flash recovery area is also configured in the ASM.
I want to create a physical standby database on a different machine by using RMAN. Can someone kindly point me to some easy to follow document? I have scoured the oracle docs, but am more confused than ever.
regardsStep By Step Guide To Create Physical Standby Database Using RMAN [ID 469493.1]
Note: the examples in this document use regular filesystems but the process is the same regardless, ie, in db_file_name_convert use your diskgroup rather than a filesystem (db_file_name_convert=+DG_SOURCE,+DG_TARGET)

Creating Standby for RAC ASM database using RMAN
We are having a Primary Site of 3-Node RAC ASM and we takes daily RMAN backup with the following script
run
allocate channel c1 device type disk format 'g:\rmanbackup\%U';
backup database;
backup archivelog from time 'trunc(sysdate-1)' until time 'sysdate';
We have configured 3-Node RAC Cluster in Standby site. We have copied the rman backup folder to one of the Nodes in the Standby site.
Request your help to restore the RMAN backup. The backup size is around 200GB. We do not know how to use DUPLICATE DUPICATE option in RMAN as if it is restoring from the Primary Location, then transferring 200GB over the network will not be possible.
We need a solution to restore it directly from the Backup folder available in the DR Server. We are not using catalog.
OS : Windows IA 64-bit
RDBMS : Oracle 10.2.0.4
Storage : ASM
DB Nodes at Primary Site, Node1, Node2, Node3
DB instances at primary site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Nodes at Standby Site, Node101, Node102, Node103
DB instances at Standby site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Name : ORCL on both the sites.When you create the standby, you can use catalogued backups, stored somewhere local to your standby servers.
For that, they need to be copied to the standby server, or taken from production there, and after restoring the standby controlfile on the standby server, use rman to catalogue the backups to be used. Then, you can use DUPLICATE... and it will be reading your local backup files.
The directory g:\rmanbackup of your rman script is local to standby servers ?
The docs for this have a lot of details: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/rcmbackp.htm

Standby database from RMAN backup
I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.
Database : Oracle 10G R2
OS : Windows Server 2003
My backup script is
configure channel device type disk format 'J:\RMAN\RMAN_df_%U' maxpiecesize 2048M;

SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup database;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup current controlfile for standby FORMAT='J:\RMAN\RMAN_sc_%U';
For recovery of a standby database,
I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.

I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.

A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

Creating standby database using data guard.
Current Env:
Oracle 11.2.0.1
ASM
Size 1.7T and growing.
I'm rebuilding a standby database and need to use rman because of a few factors. In the past, I did a file copy create a standby control file config init.ora and it always worked.
We have a database and had the stanby build; but someone issued a flashback and corrupted the standby database.
Because of the size 1.7T and growing and we are now using ASM.
My research is only showing building standby through rman using dupicate database command.
I would like to copy the cold backup to a external drive and ship it to the standby site where I'll do the restore. This is because of time and bandwith required to rebuild the standby will interfere with operaitions for the period the files are being copied.
So what would be the high level steps.
1) get the cold backup
2) create the standby control file
3) ship the data via corrier
4) restore the database
5) and this is where i'm not sure. recover the standby control file - but during the restore of the database the "normal" control file will open and perhaps do a checkpoint. therefore the standby controlfile will be usless.
6) recover the standby database.
Has anyone accomplished this?
As much specifics will be helpful. This system is operational and needs to be done right the first time.
thanks,
-RobThank you.
1) I'm going to off load the cold backup to an external drive and have a courier take it to the DR site.
Why, we are replicating the SAN over to the DR site. When SAN replication backs up Oracle becomes non-responsive. Therefore; sending the data over the pipe is not an option for the standby rebuild. Yea' that's the easy way to do it. But this system is operational and critical to operations; so we will not risk saturating the pipe for any period of time. The pipe got saturated one time and it was not pretty.
2) I'm running the test in my lab to make sure I can create the standby database using the cold backup and rman.
3) In the past it was easy; I got a cold backup of the data files using the same ksh scripts that have been working for 20 years. Copy the files over to the standby site, and put it into managed recovery. This technique has been working fine sense Oracle 8i days. ASM through a huge monkey wrench in the ksh script backup and now I'm forced to use rman. Hey, I'm told it's an okay product but when it comes to backups I never get fancy; that just makes things more complicated. Okay I wont complain about asm anymore, i guess there is an advantage in there somewhere.

How do I move databases using RMAN with minimal downtime ?
How can I do the following using RMAN ?
DB version 10.2.0.4
Redhat 5.2
I am not using an rman catalogIn the past I have moved large databases from 1 server to another with 5 minutes downtime using backups done the old way by putting tablespaces in backup mode and making copies of the datafiles.
I used the following method :
========> Part 1
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE set DATABASE "VPMY" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 32
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
....etc
LOGFILE
......... log file names
DATAFILE
... list of datafiles
CHARACTER SET US7ASCII;
========> Part 2
Up until the scheduled downtime, I would copy the archive logs from the production server to the new and run the following to apply the latest archive logs:
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;
->AUTO<-
========> Part 3
After applying the last archive log while in restrict mode -
ALTER DATABASE OPEN resetlogs;
My question is, how do I do Part 2 in RMAN. I have managed to duplicate databases and restore databases using rman to a different server, but this obviously only covers the data upto the backup point. How can I do the above parts 1 -3 with downtime of about 5 minutes like I have done using old methods ?
Any help is much appreciated/you should be able to recover as you go with rman as well..
copy the archived logs from A to B and apply them as they come in.
run
set until sequence x thread 1;
recover database;
if you're not opening the database after recovery you can just increment the set until sequence as the logs come in and do a new recovery.
