Switch Standby into Primary and reverse.

Hi group,
I have been asked to write a document describing a procedure to put a standby database as a primary database ((1)primary -> (2)standby) to ((1)failed db - (2)primary), and after their testing switch them again to the first state ((1)primary -> (2)standby), All this as a test just in case a disaster occurs, To be honest I have never been on this kind of situation that is why I ask for your help. The procedure must contain steps for 3 databases:
1. Oracle 10g r2 Enterprise Edition (Dataguard Real Time apply) (40GB data size) (SO: AIX)
2. Oracle 9i r2 Standard Edition (Manual Standby) (400GB data size) (SO: AIX)
3. Oracle 9i r2 Standard Edition (Manual Standby) (80GB data size) (SO: AIX)
I would appreciate a lot your help.
Thanks in advance.

This is a general procedure that we have followed for a similar test:
Here is the setup we had: 10gR2 Approx. size 2 TB Physical standby database with dataguard configuration
1. We conncted to the dataguard command line using "dgmgrl"
2. Connect to the database - and verify status: "show configuration;"
3. Issue command: "SWITCHOVER TO <standby database name>;"
4. Exit from the dgmgrl utility.
5. Perform the verification you need to perform as your standby is now primary - NOTE: Your primary database and standby database both will be in sync and any changes you made to database will be made to both the databases. You should not perform any distructive action against this database.
6. Ideally you can run your entire application pointing to the original standby datbase.
7. Follow step 1 to 4
8. You will have you original primary back as primary database.
Hope this will help you.
Regards.

Fortinet 100D - split switch ports into external and internal VLANs?

I'm building out a small colocation site of two hosts.Would like to minimize the number of boxes that I have to buy and manage, but also need to have a reasonable firewall setup. I will have one firewall box and in an ideal world would like to get away without buying one or more switches to put alongside it.My bandwidth provider is going to give me two physical drops that provide connectivity to two of their aggregation routers configured HSRP. If I was going to connect to this in a typical setup, I'd have an external switch with the two drops attached plus one to the external side of my firewall. I'd then connect the internal side of my firewall to my internal switch, and my hosts to that.Given the low port count vs the large number of ports on the Fortinet 100D, I'm wondering if I can split the ports on the box into two groups and be...

How to switch between primary and secondary langua...

Hi guys,
I've got an e52 but the only way to type in sec. Language while writing a message is:
Option-> Input Options-> writing language-> primary writing language (which must be changed to new one)
so there is no use of second. lang. or at least I don't know how to switch quickly between primary and second language without going that path.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATE.
Aram

HI Everyone,
not sure if this helps. My solution is more fo Singpore users.
As i text between English and Chinese, I was unable to set my Secondary language to Chinese as there is no option to do so in the Writing language menu.
By discovery, i first set my Primay language as Chinese. Then further down the Language menu there is this option Default input. Click on that and select the default using Text case and select Ok.
When writing sms, you can switch between this 2 languages using the # key.
Hope it helps.
Have a pleasant day.

Taking RMAN backup of primary and standby databases.

Hi,
I am going to setup a Standby for Primary two node RAC to single node standby.
My doubt is, in standby both primary and standby will have the same db_name. So how can i take the RMAN backup of both primary and standby by using a single catalog.
That is, we can register the primary DB with catalog using it's db_name. But how can we register the standby with catalog using same db_name as it is already registered.
Thanks,
Mahi

Are you using a physical or logical standby?
If its a physical standby why do you need to back up both databases? backup the standby and you are done, the backup from the standby can be recovered to either the live serever or the standby if needed, andt hen the archivelogs used to bring it up to date.
If its a logical standby then change the database name for the standby and you can back both up to the same catalog, or alternativly cretae a new catalog for the standby, either as a new database or a new schema in your existing catalog.

Need help with sorting records in primary and secondary databases

Hi,
I would like to store data into primary and secondary db in different order. For the main primary, I want it to be ordered by login_ts instead of uuid which is the key.
For the user secondary database, I want it to be ordered by sip_user. For the timestampe secondary db, I want it to be ordered by login_ts.
This is what I have right now,

     DB *dbp;
     const DBT a, b;
     int time_a = 0;
     int time_b = 0;
     time_a = atoi ( (char *)a->data);
     time_b = atoi ( (char *)b->data);
     return time_a - time_b ;
for the timestamp secondary, I set that compare function:
          if ((ret = (*sdb)->set_bt_compare(*sdb , compare_login_ts )) != 0){
Does anyone know how can I make it sorted according?

Hi,
The DB->set_bt_compare() is used to compare keys in Btree database. In the callback function, both the DBTs are key, but not data. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbset_bt_compare.html.
If you want any field in the data to be sorted, you might create a secondary index on it and define the compare function as you wish.

Require 9i Primary and Standby redo logs files same size?

Hi,
We have 9.2.0.6 Oracle RAC (2 node) and configured data guard (physical standby).
I want to increase redo log files size, but i can't this do same time primary and standby side.
Is there a rule, primary and standby database instances have same size redo log files?
If I increase only primary redo log files, is there any side effect? However I try this issue on test system. I increased all primary redo log files(if status='INACTIVE' drop redo log group and add redo log group, switch logfile,...)
, but i couldn't changed standby side. So the system is work well. Is this correct solution or not? How can i increase both sides redo log files?
Thank you for helps..

Thank you for your helps.. I found this issue answer:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/manage_ps.htm#i1010448
Consequently, when you add or drop an online redo log file at the primary site, it is important that you synchronize the changes in the standby database by following these steps:
If Redo Apply is running, you must cancel Redo Apply before you can change the log files.
If the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO, change the value to MANUAL.
Add or drop an online redo log file:
To add an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log' SIZE 100M;
To drop an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log';
Repeat the statement you used in Step 3 on each standby database.
Restore the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter and the Redo Apply options to their original states.

After switchover to standby as primary, now how to switch back

Hello DG experts:
I'm running Oracle 11.2 on Linux 5.8.
I am in the process of (trying) to mimic our existing production DG environment for testing purposes.
So far...
I've managed to set up a primary and standby database and ensured all logs apply properly.
My database name is DGTEST (on both primary and standby).
My db_unique_name is DGTEST_DG1 on primary, and DGTEST_DG2 on standby.
I performed a switchover from primary to standby, and opened the standby database as primary.
But, first thing is that when I check the switchover_status from v$database, it says: NOT ALLOWED.
Okay, so now what? Do I need to have another pfile to set specifically for when I am in primary or standby modes?
Here are relevant commands I have checked already:
on new Primary (db_unique_name = DGTEST_DG2)

                                 . . .Please keep in mind that I have made this test environment as close as possible (I think) to our production environment.
One of the objectives is to confirm we can switchover and back in our production environment.
So if there is something seriously wrong with this environment and it is the same in our production environment, that would be one of my primary objectives to find out about.
Only significant difference is that we are also using DGBroker in production and I did create configuration yet until I got the switchover working manually first.

Oracle data guard configuration for primary and standby db_name

I am working on configuring an active data guard for one primary DB and one standby DB. I have a few questions:
1. Can I use different db_name, db_unique_name and instance_name for primary and standby. For example: primary(db_name, db_unique_name and instance_name)=chicago. When I create standby DB with Rman backup and copy of pfile and control file from primary DB or use Grid control to create standby database. Oracle document or Grid control all keep standby db_name=chicago. Only make standby db_unique_name and instance_name=boston. Due to my application system condition, I want to make db_name=boston, not keep it as the same as primary=chicago. Is this valid configuration?
2. In primary datafiles, application system generate datafile name like this: hr_chicago_01.dbf, fn_chicago_01.dbf. When I move datafiles to standby server, if I plan to use db_name=boston for standby DB, can I rename datafiles as
hr_boston_01.dbf, fn_boston_01.dbf? In this way, datafile name match up with db_name. but I will create standby log group and members on primary and standby identically. If in future switching over, DB will not have problems.
3. If I don't use primary DB backup. Instead, I copy all datafiles, redo_log files (no control files) to standby. Then "alter database backup controlfile to trace" from promary and also " create pfile='/xxx/initSTANDBY.ora' from primary. Then modify init.ora and controlfile. Then run control.sql to bring standby DB up. After that, configure redo log shipping and apply with data guard or SQL. Is this a acceptable way to create physical standby DB?
Please advise your comments. Thanks in advance.

I want to make db_name=boston, not keep it as the same as primary=chicago. Is this valid configuration?NO. DB_NAME must be the same ("chicago") at both sites. The Standby will be using a different DB_UNIQUE_NAME (e.g. "boston") and can be using a different Instance name / SID (e.g. "boston").
can I rename datafiles Yes. The database file names can be changed.
If I don't use primary DB backup. Instead, I copy all datafiles, redo_log files (no control files) to standbyWhat is the difference between the first sentence (a backup of the primary) and the second sentence (a copy of the primary) ? A Copy is a backup.
Are you intending to differentiate between an RMAN Backup and a User-Managed (aka "scripted") backup ?
Normally, for DataGuard, tou can use non-RMAN methods to copy the database but there's no value add in this.
You'd still have to setup DataGuard ! (and I wonder if you'd have complications setting up Active DataGuard).
But remember that you MUST create the Standby controlfile from the Primary and copy it over to your Standby -- particularly as you are planning to use DataGuard. This is not created by 'alter database backup controlfile to trace' , but by 'ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'filename''

Primary and Physical Standby databases hanging on sqlplus shell command...

I am primarily a java developer that has had the task of oracle dba thrust upon me due to circumstances that are beyond my control. In the QA lab we have two oracle 10 g release 1 instances running. They set up in a dataguard configuration: one is the primary and the other is in a physical standby.
Last week I noticed that the disk space on the primary database was at 100%. After some investigation I discovered that a good deal of the files taking up space on the box were log files and the best solution that I could think of would be to delete all old archive files. So I deleted the old archive files that were at least two weeks old using RMAN.
During this week the database started to shutdown automatically. The QA associate restarted the database twice using the ‘STARTUP’ command from sqlplus. Additionally, the standby database began to have issues: when login in to sqlplus the application would just hang: no ‘SQL” prompt or anything. Finally today the primary database has also begun to hang in a similar manner.
I have looked at many of the trace files and alert logs but haven’t been able to really discern what the real problem is with the database and the proper rectification for the database. Does anyone have a clue into what is going on? If someone could even point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing that your flash recovery area is full, archiving is stopped so the instance appears to hang.
Do you see messages like so in the alert log:
You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
   then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
   BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
   reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
   system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
   DELETE EXPIRED commands.

Primary and Standby, RMAN errors 8137 and 8591

Hello,
I have to resolve a serious problem of synchronization of two databases, one primary and one standby.
I receive on the RMAN scripts these two errors : RMAN 8137 and RMAN 8591. I well know what these errors mean. The archivelogs were not sent on the standby, and so they are still needed, and not deleted.
I have tried to follow the Oracle procedure of database synchronization (document 836986.1), but without success, as the archivelogs are still needed.
Here is (a part of) the debug trace when I send the delete input command on the primary:
DBGSQL: EXEC SQL AT TARGET begin dbms_rcvman . getRequiredSCN ( reqscn => :safescn:safescn_i , rlgscn => :reqrlgscn:reqrlgscn_i ) ; end ; [15:39:43.190]

Since sequence 20852, the archivelogs are not known on the standby.
The first archivelog on the primary that is still there is the sequence 21095.
Here is the rman configuration:
RMAN> show all;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_1\DATABASE\S
NCFBDSIVOA.ORA'; # default
I have tried several times to do incremental backup on the primary, apply it on the standby, but it never worked, except for the current_scn which changed on the standby. The archivelogs are still needed on the primary, unfortunately.
What could I do next?
Starting a new incremental backup starting with sequence 20852?
Deleting by force all the archivelogs? And in that case what to do for the standby?
Starting a new incremental backup taking the current scn of the standby?

It was the first time I heard of broker enabled.
Just know that I can check if the dataguard is ok by launching dgmgrl

Time zone difference between primary and physical standby

Dear Team,
We have Primary database server (with EST Time zone) and physical standby (with PST time zone), in case of switch over/fail over to physical standby
what are the major impacts.
Is it mandatory to be in time sync?
Thanks in advance
Aj

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
04-FEB-10 10.22.20.444692 AM +05:30
( above is same on primary and standby)
SQL> select systimestamp from dual;
SYSTIMESTAMP
03-FEB-10 08.52.46.934125 PM -08:00
(above is 3hr diff from primary and standby)It is 13hrs difference
One is around Indian subcontinent and other should be in US western region ?
Systimestamp is the timestamp of the OS of the server and hence the difference and the sysdate value will be from systimestamp and if the applications uses SYSDATE then there can be an issue...

ARCHIVELOG deletion on primary and physical standby

Hi,
We have a primary and a physical standby database running Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux x-64 bit OS. I will be using backup software
to only backup the primary database and do not have the backup software for the standby server and database.
We need to backup archived redo log files from primary site and delete the ones which are more than one month old. These archived redo log files will be applied from primary to standby database as and when the log switch occurs.
Can anybody please let me know if the following steps can be used:
Details are:
primary database name - sun (machine name is node1)
standby database name - drsun (machine name is node2)
On node1 as oracle user:
$ cat /export/home/oracle/rman/scripts/cleanup_rman_arch_sun.sh
#!/bin/sh
ORACLE_SID=sun; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME

@/export/home/oracle/rman/scripts/cleanup_rman_arch_sun.rcv
exit
$ cat /export/home/oracle/rman/scripts/cleanup_rman_arch_sun.rcv
allocate channel for delete type disk;
crosscheck archivelog all;
sql "alter system switch logfile";
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
change archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-1' delete;
release channel;
$ crontab -l
# Delete the archived redo log files at 11:00 PM on the first day of every month
00 23 1 * * /export/home/oracle/rman/scripts/cleanup_rman_arch_sun.sh
On node2 as oracle user:

Hello;
Welcome to the forums. ( By physical Standby I assume Data Guard )
The short answer is it should work. I noticed this :
/cleanup_rman_arch_drsun.rcv
crosscheck archivelog all;
sql "alter system switch logfile";
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
change archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-1' delete;I see no reason for the "alter system switch logfile". In fact you can do something very simple on the Standby :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-1';
exit
EOFThis assumes you have doing a backup with RMAN on the Primary ( tested on 11.2.0.2 ) and have this set on the Primary :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETEION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
If you are deleting Archive without using RMAN first then yes something like this ( But I would try to use RMAN and not delete using another method )
echo `date`
echo "Runnung RMAN archive crosscheck"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<EOF
connect target /
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
exit
EOF
echo `date`

ASM on primary and physical standby on normal filesystem

Hi
I have seen he white paper by oracle on migrating a database to ASM with minimal downtime using ASM for a physical standby my requirement is reverse.
I need to have a ASM for a primary database but no ASM for standby database.
How do we set the parameter db_file_name_convert
regards
Hrishy

db_file_name_convert covers the folder path for the files. I don't think, there will be issue.
If we use rman, it will use the folder path per db_file_name_convert and retain the old file names. OMF naming will apply for the new files.

Dataguard 9iR2 using same SID for primary and physical standby issues

Hello, I have been following the Creating Physical Standby Database document from Oracle setting up a physical clone for a 9iR2 database on Solaris 9 environment between two identical workstations. I want to databases to have the same SID for relatively seemless failover however the redo logs are not pushed to the physical clone. when I switch a logfile on the primary and then query v$archive_dest on dest_id=2 I get a status of ERROR and the ERROR is the ORA-12154 TNS service name error.
Here is a summary of my setup:
Primary - SID = PROD1, located on WS001
Clone - SID = PROD1, located on WS002
SPFILE settings on Primary:
*.db_name='PROD1'
*.dg_broker_start=true
*.fal_client='PROD1_node2'
*.fal_server='PROD1_node1'
*.log_archive_dest_2='service=PROD1_node2 optional lgwr async=20480 noaffirm reopen=15 max_failure=10 delay=30 net_timeout=30'
tnsnames.ora on Primary:
PROD1_node2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = WS002) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PROD1)
listener.ora on secondary:
PROD1_node2 =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = WS002) (PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_PROD1_node2 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /export/oracle/oracle_9.2/PROD1)
(SID_NAME = PROD1)
Any input would be appreciated. I can provide whatever else you might need. I thought this was the most pertinent to this problem.
Thanks.
Jim

I have been looking at the sqlnet.ora files for the two databases
for WS001:
Names.Default_Domain = WS001.example.com
Names.Directory_Path = (TNSNAMES, ONAMES,HOSTNAME)
for WS002:
Names.Default_Domain = WS002.example.com
Names.Directory_Path = (TNSNAMES, ONAMES,HOSTNAME)
I cannot connect with sqlplus from WS001 to WS002 on the other machine.

Switch Standby into Primary and reverse.
