Unassigned Status Of Standby Redo Log Files
I created 2 standby redo log groups, and use LGWR in primary site to
transfer redo data, all are good. But when I query the V$STANDBY_LOG
view, I found that the status column of my both standby redo logs is UNASSIGNED".
also sequence#
THREAD# and all others are 0 and 0.
Any explains.
Thanks for the reply Sophie. I did perform log switch at my primary site but the status of standby redo log files remained unassinged. I am pasting here the message in my Alert Log file may be that can help you to diagonose the problem.

Hi,
From oracle document i know in the standby side the RFS process writes to Standby redo log file -> archive log and the MRP procees applys the archive logs to the standby database.
my question is ,if we dont create standby redo log file what happens?Hello;
When redo is received by an RFS on the standby , the RFS process writes the redo data into archived redo logs or optionally to the SRL.
Standby Redo Logs is where the RFS process at your Standby database writes incoming redo, they help performance because the RFS does not have to create the Archive log file.
Standby redo logs are a component of the Data Guard setup. They should be the same size as the redo logs on the Primary.
Standby Redo Logs do not not to be multiplexed.
I would create SRL them on both the Primary and the Standby. Think of it as one database in either Standby or Primary Mode. If you have to switchover you still need them.
If you have SRL's setup and need to do either a failover or switchover it should occur faster and safer.

What is the purpose of standby redo log files
Hi,
What is the purpose of the standby redo log files in DR?
what if the standby redo log files are created? or else not created?
Please explain
Thanks3.1.3 Configure a Standby Redo LogA standby redo log is required for the maximum protection and maximum availability modes and the LGWR ASYNC transport mode is recommended for all databases. Data Guard can recover and apply more redo data from a standby redo log than from archived redo log files alone.
You should plan the standby redo log configuration and create all required log groups and group members when you create the standby database. For increased availability, consider multiplexing the standby redo log files, similar to the way that online redo log files are multiplexed.>

Dataguard lost both Primary redo log and standby redo log files
Hi,
I am new to data guard, i came acorss a scenario where we loose both primary redo log file and standby redo log files.
Can someone please help me understand how to recover from this situation.
Thanks!>loose both primary redo log file and standby redo log files
We have to be very clear.
There are (set A) online redo log files and (set B) standby redo log files at (location 1) Primary and (location 2) Standby.
The standby redo log files, depending on the configuration, aren't strictly mandatory. The standby can be applying redo without online redo log files present as well, depending on how it was setup.
So, the question is : Did you lose online redo log files at the primary ? Didn't the primary shutdown itself then ? If so, you have to do an incomplete recovery at the primary OR switch over to the standby (which may or may not have received the last transaction, depending on how it was configured and operating) OR restore from the standby (again, with possible loss of transactions) to the primary.

Use of standby redo log files in primary database
Hi All,
What is the exact use of setting up standby redo log files in the primary database on a data guard setup?
any good documents?A standby redo log is required for the maximum protection and maximum availability modes and the LGWR ASYNC transport mode is recommended for all databases. Data Guard can recover and apply more redo data from a standby redo log than from archived redo log files alone.
You should plan the standby redo log configuration and create all required log groups and group members when you create the standby database. For increased availability, consider multiplexing the standby redo log files, similar to the way that online redo log files are multiplexed.
refer the link,and Perform the following steps to configure the standby redo log.:-
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i1225703
If the real-time apply feature is enabled, log apply services can apply redo data as it is received, without waiting for the current standby redo log file to be archived. This results in faster switchover and failover times because the standby redo log files have been applied already to the standby database by the time the failover or switchover begins.

Dataguard Solution for standby redo log file groups
Respected Experts,
My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 and Red Hat 5 os.I want to create a standby database using RMAN.
Can any one help me with the full steps.And i'm also confuse about number of standby redo log file members
need to be created.
Thanks and Regards
Monoj DasMy database version is 10.2.0.1.0 and Red Hat 5 os.I want to create a standby database using RMAN.To configure standby either you can use duplicate target database for standby
or
1) restore standby controlfile
2) mount standby database
3) restore database
and configure standby paraemter then start MRP, will do.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm
Can any one help me with the full steps.And i'm also confuse about number of standby redo log file members
need to be created.It depends which parameter you want to use, if you mention log_archive_dest_2='service ARCH ' then no need to create any standby redo log file groups,
If you use log_archive_dest_2='service LGWR ' here transport will be in terms of redo and you need standby redo log files on standby database. Which is realtime.
When you use LGWR, data lost will be less if in case of any online redo log file lost. which is recommended.

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.

Standby Redo Log Files and Directory Structure in Standby Site
Hi Guru's
I just want to confirm, i know that if the Directory structure is different i need to mention these 2 parameter in pfile
on primary site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
On secondary Site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
But i want to confirm this wheather i need to issue the complete path of the directory in both the above paramtere:
like:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
Thanks in advance for your helpHello,
Regarding your 1st question, you need to provide the complete path and not just the directory name.
On the standby:
db_file_name_convert='<Full path of the datafiles on primary server>','<full path of the datafiles to be stored on the standby server>';
log_file_name_convert='<Full path of the redo logfiles on primary server>','<full path of the redo logfiles on the standby server>';
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
How are you creating the standby database ? Using RMAN duplicate or through the restore/recovery options ?
You can create the standby redo logs later.

Standby Redo Log Files ?
Hi Everyone,
Today after reading two different sources for Standby Protection Modes i found myself puzzled and stuck. One of the article from Burleson.com says 'Oracle supports the standby redo logs on a logical standby database and can now be configured in maximum data protection modes such as MAXIMUM PROTECTION ...'
On the other hand on some of the blogs and other resources to read, i found it something opposite to what Burleson Consulting posted on their website.

Oracle standby/redo log file shipping keeps needing logs re-registering
Hi
We have Log File Shipping enabled and the prod system ships redo logs over to the LFS server. It's kept 24 hours behind. It usually ships the logs (and I believe automatically registers them) without issue.
EXCEPT - it keeps complaining about missing redo log files.
The file is usually there; but just needs registering with:
alter database register or replace logfile '/oracle/S1P/saparch/S1Parch1_636443_654987192.dbf';
(we found if we left out the 'or replace' it takes a very long time or even hangs)
It then plods on and applies the next... can go for another 2 or 3... or 20... but then often gets stuck again, and you need to register the next.
Can spend whole days on this...!!
We did try running a script to register the next 1365 redo logs! It failed on 4, so I ran it again... it worked on those 4, but turned up 3 others it had worked with before! HUH?!? So manually did those 3 ... fine... it carried on rolling forward... but got stuck after 10 minutes again when it hit another it reckoned needed registering (we'd already done it twice!!).
Any ideas?

Thank you ckpt, mseberg.
I think log_file_name_convert is set wrongly as you've mentioned. But If I don't want to any change to name of Online or standby redo log files in standby, I don't have to set log_file_name_convert at all. Right ?From Same link
If you specify an odd number of strings (the last string has no corresponding replacement string), an error is signalled during startup. If the filename being converted matches more than one pattern in the pattern/replace string list, the first matched pattern takes effect. There is no limit on the number of pairs that you can specify in this parameter (other than the hard limit of the maximum length of multivalue parameters). -
The file structure online redo log, archived redo log and standby redo log
I have read some Oracle documentation for file structure and settings in Data Guard environment. But I still have some doubts. What is the best file structure or settings in Oracle 10.2.0.4 on UNIX for a data guard environment with 4 primary databases and 4 physical standby databases. Based on Oracle documents, there are 3 redo logs. They are: online redo logs, archived redo logs and standby redo logs. The basic settings are:
1. Online redo logs --- This redo log must be on Primary database and logical standby database. But it is not necessary to be on physical standby database because physical standby is not open. It doesn't generate redo log. However, if don't set up online redo log on physical standby, when primary failover and switch standby as primary. How can standby perform without online redo logs? In my standby databases, online redo logs have been set up.
2. Archived redo logs --- It is obviously that primary database, logical and physical standby database all need to have this log file being set up. Primary use it to archive log files and ship to standby. Standby use it to receive data from archived log and apply to database.
3. Standby redo logs --- In the document, it says A standby redo log is similar to an online redo log, except that a standby redo log is used to store redo data received from another database. A standby redo log is required if you want to implement: The maximum protection and maximum availability levels of data protection and Real-time apply as well as Cascaded destinations. So it seems that this standby redo log only should be set up on standby database, not on primary database. Am my understanding correct? Because I review current redo log settings on my environment, I have found that Standby redo log directory and files have been set up on both primary and standby databases. I would like to get more information and education from experts. What is the best setting or structure on primary and standby database?FZheng:
Thanks for your input. It is clear that we need 3 type of redo logs on both databases. You answer my question.
But I have another one. In oracle ducument, it says If you have configured a standby redo log on one or more standby databases in the configuration, ensure the size of the current standby redo log file on each standby database exactly matches the size of the current online redo log file on the primary database. It says: At log switch time, if there are no available standby redo log files that match the size of the new current online redo log file on the primary database. The primary database will shut down
My current one data gurard envirnment setting is: On primary DB, online redo log group size is 512M and standby redo log group size is 500M. On the standby DB, online redo log group size is 500M and standby redo log group size is 750M.
This was setup by someone I don't know. Is this setting OK? or I should change Standby Redo Log on standby DB to 512M to exactly meatch with redo log size on primary?
