Standby on vmware

Hi all,
I have a 10gR2 database running on linux RH EL 4. I am proposed to install a standby database on a VMWare server running the same OS. Is that possible / certified ?
Best regards,
Fred

But anyway, you can create Standby database on VMware

DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT

hello guys,
I am configuring a data guard with one physical standby on VMWARE.. with primary database on one system and physical standby on the other.. database 11g r2
oracle document says that the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT has to mentioned if the directory structure is going to be different on both the sites.
directory structure on the primary database will be
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/oracle/
and on standby will be
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/oracles/
now my question is do we have to set this parameter on the standby system (i use RMAN to create the standby using DUPLICATE command so it renames the filepath of all the datafiles on the standby system during duplication process.) or on the primary database tooo please tell me..
i believe the log_file_name_convert parameter need not be set as the RMAN will automatically create the logfiles. please tell me if i am correct..

Yes you need to set both the parameter..
these parameters will update the controlfile regarding locations of datafiles & log files. it is mandatory.. if you specify these parameters then only RMAN knows where these need to restore.
because we are using controlfile from primary database http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/9i/server.920/a96536/ch144.htm

Can standby database configured on VMWare server or not?

HI all,
Is it possible that our primary server is not on vmware server but standby server can be configured on VMWare server?
AFAIK, configuration of both the server should be same.
If our Primary server is not on Vmware server but standby database configured on Vmware server, Will it work or not.
Pls suggest me.....
And another thing is that Is it necessary to have a dedicated connection b/w primary and standby server for RFS process.
pls suggest me....

If our Primary server is not on Vmware server but standby database configured on Vmware server, Will it work or not.Logically speaking, it should not matter but YMMV.
And another thing is that Is it necessary to have a dedicated connection b/w primary and standby server for RFS process.what is RFS process? Could you elaborate?

Steps for data guard RAC primary RAC standby

Hi,
I have some doubt in configuring data guard for rac DR to rac primary.
1) In RAC DR, physical standby will be in RAC before starting data guard for RAC Primary , right?.
2) While configuring RAC DR , should one node be down in standby?.
3) After creating the auxiliary database in standby, i mean restoring the rman backup from staging directory in DR,
Shall we have to register the services(database,instance,asm,etc..) to CRS(OCR)?. If yes ,Why?.
4) After DR configure over , Shall i shut/down one node?. Should all the nodes in DR be in up , while applying logs to
standby ?.
If anybody have made the setup and have the prepared document , requesting you to share with me.
Thank you very much,
Sunand

Hi Sunand,
Please follow the following My Oracle Support (MOS) Document ID:
MAA - Creating a RAC Physical Standby for a RAC Primary [ID 380449.1]
For further details, see the referred documents in previous post. Try practicing on VMWare because it will give you the flexibility for creating snapshots to save your work. Please see the answers for your question below:
Q1. In RAC DR, physical standby will be in RAC before starting data guard for RAC Primary , right?.
Answer: Yes, this is recommend but not mandatory. You can add a second node later on.
Q2. While configuring RAC DR , should one node be down in standby?
Answer: Yes, there are some database configuration commands that should be run in exclusive mode. You can start the remaining instance(s) after DB creation. Do not forget to set CLUSTER_DATABASE parameter to TRUE. Also, all instances except one should be close while performing switchover/failover.
Q3. After creating the auxiliary database in standby, i mean restoring the rman backup from staging directory in DR, Shall we have to register the services(database,instance,asm,etc..) to CRS(OCR)?. If yes ,Why?
Answer: Yes, this is recommended for RAC configuration to take advantage of high availability services.
Q4. After DR configure over , Shall i shut/down one node?. Should all the nodes in DR be in up , while applying logs to
standby ?
Answer: You can start up all the instances after DR creation. In this case if your one node goes down log apply services will continue to apply changes in DR.
Hope, this helps to clear your questions.

Shahid

Standby Not Applying After Outage

We have a 11r2 primary and standby running on RHEL 5. The primary lost network connectivity for a time and VMWare locked up. The VM admin restarted the primary VM (it was a hard-boot). This all happened while I was gone and when I came into work, the primary database appeared to be working. I decided to dig deeper and check out the standby.
On the standby...

Hello;
It shows 9851 logs behind. If you created the standby more than once then the query could be giving incorrect information. If this is the case then check from the standby. For example

Switchover role transition in a standby configuration

Hi All,
Oracle 10.2.0.1
Linux RHEL 5
Vmware server 2.1
Host Os Windows Xp
I have created a database and configured the standby for it.This is a virtual machine setup.
The current primary database has 3 redologfiles and no standby redologfiles added.And the standby database has the redologfiles same as the primary and 3 standby redologfiles configured just for enabling the real time apply.
Now i am trying to switchover the roles of both the databases.
So i gave the below command in the primary database
sql>alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown;
i am getting the below error..
ORA-16416: Switchover target is not synchronized with the primary
When i check the V$archive_gap in standby nothing returns..
I tried to switch logfile in the primary and manually transfered the recent archivelog to the standby location and applied manually, still getting the same error..
Please Advice...
TIA,

You should create the standby logfiles on the primary as well. Also, you must point with the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 (probably) parameter from the standby to the primary with LGWR SYNC AFFIRM, in order to keep your protection level after the switchover. I would also recommend that you go with the Data Guard Broker in order to do switchover & failover, it's much easier to say
DGMGRL> switchover to sb;And DMON will take care for all the appropriate SQL commands and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n settings!
Kind regards

Oracle RAC / Logical Data Guard causing network problems on VMware

We have VMWare 5.0 cluster across the 12 blades (6 per chassis) running a mixture of Red Hat and Windows 2008 R2 vms. The Red Hat boxes are two times two node Oracle RAC (primary and secondary), also apache web servers and jboss application servers. The Windows servers are for AV/DC/Management/Monitoring.
The problem is that intermittent network connectivity to random Windows and Red Hat boxes occur when the Oracle RAC builds up archive logs and then ships / applies them to the secondary nodes, between ESX nodes either on different blades in the same chassis or across the chassis and even when all RAC nodes are on the same ESX host.
We are using NFS, Oracle 11g and Red Hat 6.2.
Sorry if this info is a bit vague, im not an Oracle expert! :-)
thanks,
Dave

Hi,
1.) The calculation for Standby RedoLogs is:
(Max Number of Logfiles per thread (Instance) +1) * Max Number of Threads (Instances))
So if you have 4 Redo Log Groups on your primary (which is 2 Redo Log Groups per Instance), then it ends up:
(2 +1) * 2 = 6
So actually you will only need 6 standby redo logs, not 8. But 2 more don't harm.
Your primary will need exactly the same number (6 or in your case 8). Which will be 3 per thread/instance or in your case 4.
2.) The SID List in the listener.ora is a listing of SIDs the Listener is listening on. It is not the listener name.
Hence it is not "lsnrctl guard_dgmgrl start" but only "lsnrctl LISTENER start", whereas the LISTENER is the default and "lsnrctl start" would be sufficient.
However since this is grid infrastructure with the listener running out of ASM home, be sure to have set your environment to GI Home not to DB_HOME for the listener.ora entries, but to DB_HOME for the tnsnames.ora entries necessary for data guard.
And since listener is running under clusterware you should use "srvctl stop listener" and start.
Last but not least the SID entries for dataguard have to use DGMGRL not dgmgrl.
3.) Here is the whitepaper you are looking for:
www.oracle.com/goto/maa
Also for client failover best practices.
(Here the direct link to the RAC whitepaper):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10g-racprimarysingleinstance-131970.pdf
However since this is 10g you should combine this with the 11g RAC standy paper (e.g. SCAN Listener setup).

As long as the OS is the same, it shouldn't matter that one or both are virtualized. I say that with the caveat that (1) MetaLink note 249212.1 states in no uncertain terms that no Oracle product is supported under VMware, and (2) I was told just this afternoon by a member of a development team that it was. I asked if he had documentation to that effect and he said he did and would email it to me when he returned to his office.
I am using oracle 10.2.0.1 ..dont ask why 10.2.0.1Ok, I won't ask why 10.2.0.1.
I'll ask why we shouldn't ask.

Can we create standby database on same server as primary database

I have Oracle 10g Rel2, OS Windows server 2003. Can I create standby database on same server on which we have our primary database?

And just like Oracle, if I have insufficient resources, things get slow like molasses in the middle of winter.

Vmware cluster

Hello, in our organisation we are going to make a redudancy sulation on OS-level with vmware cluster. I am new to this and dont understand mutch. Ive tried to google for several hours but i havent found anything regarding this; vmware cluster, redudancy etc
How does the vmware cluster works?.
I dont want to look like a fool with no knowledge about this. So i would be glad if someone explained to me how this works, or give me good documents.
Thanks, Johan

And i have another question, as to my knowledge if host 1 goes down, vmware cluster will start up another machine (or maybe its already up as standby, or maybe already balancing the power), but say if i have Oracle database, can vmware be noticed when Oracle instance go down and then start up another machine to take the lead from there?

Nexus1000v Configuration and Migration from vmware vDS

really need some guidance here....I am trying to deploy the 1000v in l3 mode, which to my understanding using mgmt0 and control0 only. Packet and control traffic are carried on the same interface. So here are my questions:
Do I still need 3 port-groups for mgmt., packet, and control or can I do control and mgmt only?
Do my VSMs still need 3 nic's? If 3 port-groups are not configured but I need 3 nics, do you map two nics to control vlan?
I am not using vlan 1 at all, my native vlan is set to 202 in USCM which is the same vlan my ESXi hosts reside in, so therefore the Esxi management port group on my current vDS does not use a vlan ID. Does the vlan 1 in 1000v map to my native vlan of 202 or do I need to configure the 1000v specifically for vlan 202? Examples I am looking at are using vlan 1 everyone and it confuses me.
The vlan that is created for Control0 has to be different than my mgmt0 vlan, but does this vlan need to exist on the links from the FI to 5108 Chassis?
I am getting really lost on the whole native vlan and vlan 1 thing...I have literally been at this for months with many "hand up, give up" moments.

Hi Steven,
Q: "Do I still need 3 port-groups for mgmt., packet, and control or can I do control and mgmt only?"
A: In reality, everything could be on the same VLAN. But that would be poor practice... So the answer is, control and management should be on two different L2 networks. This means two different port-profiles are needed. For the packet adapter (third adapter), I would assign a dummy port-profile.
Q: "I am not using vlan 1 at all, my native vlan is set to 202 in USCM which is the same vlan my ESXi hosts reside in, so therefore the Esxi management port group on my current vDS does not use a vlan ID. Does the vlan 1 in 1000v map to my native vlan of 202 or do I need to configure the 1000v specifically for vlan 202? Examples I am looking at are using vlan 1 everyone and it confuses me."
A: VLAN 1 on N1k does not map to Native VLAN 202 on the UCS. You would need to configure N1k specifically. If your vethernet port-profile is config'd for 'sw acc vlan 202' and your uplink port-profile is 'sw tr native vlan 202', the frames will be sent out of n1k untagged. Which is, i think, what you're going for...
Q: The vlan that is created for Control0 has to be different than my mgmt0 vlan, but does this vlan need to exist on the links from the FI to 5108 Chassis?
A: Yes. The Control0 interface on VSMs are used for HA heartbeats between the two VSMs. The traffic between VSMs is L2. So if the VSMs live on different hosts, that control VLAN needs to be end to end between the hosts.
Feel free to get back with questions and we can try to work through your scenario.
Thanks,
Joe

Css 11500 service configured as "hot standby" ?

Hi,
we need a function to set one of two services in a kind of "hot standby" mode.
The first service connect a webapp running on real hardware and the second service connect a webapp on a vmware session.
Is there a way to configure such a "hot standby" service?
Klaus

Klaus,
by hot standby, you mean a backup service in case the first one is down ?
If yes, the solution is to use the command 'primarysorryserver' to configure the *hot standby* service under the content rule.

VMware ESX and dual homing

We are beginning to deploy VMware ESX servers for Windows production environments. How do I set up the VNICs to dual home the VM's to separate Catalyst 6500's.
Thanks, Lisa

Hi Steve,
Specific to VSS by itself, that is available and shipping today, but support for the FWSM with VSS is not yet available (as you have already noted :-). I am currently hearing Q3CY08 as a possible timeframe for supporting VSS and the FWSM, but that is not written in stone. In the mean time, you could still take advantage of VSS to do the multi-chassis EtherChannel, just not with the FWSM included.
Specific to the question on the quad mezz cards, I personally do not have any experience with this specific card, but do know that teaming/bonding software is getting better every day, but we all know that not everything works as advertised, so in that case (and actually, in every case if you think about it), any such design should be fully tested before going into production, to make sure it works as expected/desired.
In your post you mention the 3020 (HP Cisco blade switch). That does indeed throw a bit of a wrench in the works, since as you noted, the NICs will each go to separate physical switches in the enclosure, thus making EtherChannel type solutions on the server impossible. In that case, I normally recommend a simple Active/Standby form of teaming/bonding, as it is robust and deterministic (proprietary forms of Active/Active, in my experience, are neither). If you did decide to go with pass-thru (instead of 3020) to a VSS environment, you could then take advantage of the EtherChannel type teaming, but then you introduce the headache of all of those cables from the pass-thru's, which defeats one of the more common purposes many people go to blades, reduced cabling.
Another solution that would give you the best of both worlds in a blade enclosure (reduced cabling and EtherChannel teaming on the servers), is to look at the new 3120's just coming out. With their stacking ability, multiple switches look and act as a single logical switch (exactly like the 3750E), so when these are deployed in the enclosure and stacked, you can indeed use EtherChannel on the server NICs while still getting cable reduction for the enclosure.

Creating physical standby database on same machine with dataguard

hi every one
i m new in oracle databases,

virtual machine
OS windows xp
database oracle 9i
plz reply me how i do this
explain clearly step by step.
plz reply me in detail

When you need to have the standby database on the same server as the master, use lock_name_space in the init.ora.
This parameter permits this to occur without having to worry about changing the db_name.

Using a VMware Fusion XP environment with multiple Mac users

Hi,
I have installed an XP environment using VMware Fusion. I am only able to start this XP environment when logged in as the user that created it. How can I grant access to this environment to other MAC users on my machine?
Any input is much appreciated.
Kind regards, Hans.

Thanks all, thanks for your input. I have been able to solve it now.
As suggested I moved the VMWARE file to the shared folder. Then I assigned read/write access rights to the specific users. This is something I had not tried before. Somehow just moving to the shared folder did not change access rights on file level.
Thanks all,
Hans.
