Upgrade of database in Dataguard Configuration

Hi,
I have few doubts regarding upgrading of database in in a dataguard configuration. Could someone please help me out.
- How does upgrade happen in dataguard configuration?
- Is that we have to install only different OH in both? And once the catupgrade script is run on primary, it will automatically upgrade standby as well?
- Or is that we have to upgrade both separately? i.e, standby first and then primary or vice versa
- Can we reduce downtime by breaking the dataguard config. Do a switchover and make secondary as primary and upgrade primary first?
And once the upgrade is completed in primary, bring it up and later upgrade the standby. And later once the upgrade is completed on standby, synch both primary and standby.
Please share your ideas and thoughts!
Thanks!

First of all, -steps may differ regarding the upgrade versions but- my post with the following link would help you clarify the concept.

- How does upgrade happen in dataguard configuration?First you patch the Oracle binaries on both primary and standby. Then open dataguard services and upgrade the primary database, standby will update itself already.

Database upgrade in a Dataguard Configuration - Help !

Hello Everyone,
I am upgrading our test Oracle 11G RAC/Dataguard Configuration from 11.1.0.6 to patchset 11.1.0.7 and have run into an issue when trying to apply the patchset to one of our standby databases.
I have upgraded our primary database to 11.1.0.7 with no problems, however when this was done the Dataguard Broker configuration was disabled and redo log apply to our standby databases (all physical) was stopped. I next attempted to upgrade one of our standby databases to 11.1.0.7, whilst DG Broker was disabled. The clusterware (all our databases are part of RAC clusters) and DB Software upgrades were OK, but I was unable to run DBUA successfully (or at all) as it wont run against the standby DB.
Looking at the process for applying upgrades with Physical Standby databases in place in the Dataguard Concepts manual, it seems as though the recommended process is that I should have upgraded the standby database(s) first rather than the primary database. The two Oracle Consultants that were on site when I upgraded the primary DB, did not seem to be aware of this !
What now is the easiest (and quickest) way of upgrading the standby db to 11.1.0.7 (preferably without reenabling the DG Broker Configuration). Is it possible to re-instanitate the standby DB from the primary DB?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun.

Hi!
Updating a standby DB must be so easy, but I suppose now you are in troubble because your primary DB is ...0.7 and standby are ...0.6, but in this situaction there isn't any problem. You only need to have same version at Oracle DBs (...0.7) and initiate the recovery process or start DataGuard Broker process (if you have all redo logs since the beggining of update process).
Chiao!

Upgrade Oracle Database in Oracle Fail Safe configuration.

Dear All,
I usually upgrade Oracle Database (10g, 10g r2, 11g, 11g r2) in stand alone configuration without problems.
Now, I will must upgrade one database from 11g to 11g r2 in Fail Safe configuration.
Please, is there some link to read before this operation ?
Many thx.

Pl see if MOS Doc 223709.1 (How to upgrade or apply a patch to the RDBMS in an Oracle Fail Safe environment) can help

OS and DB upgrades to databases under data guard

Hello,
Here is the scenario. I have an OPS db and a physical standby of OPS. Platform is solaris 9 with both a 9i instance and a 10g instance. I want to be able to do a switchover of the ops to the standby and then upgrade the standby. I believe that I can upgrade the OS to solaris 10 with no problems. However, I also want to be able to upgrade the 9i instance to 10gR2. Is it possible to do an upgrade of this degree to a standby under data guard? At the point that the db upgrade has completed data guard will no longer have the same configuration. This scenario is starting to send off alarms to me. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi,
Is it possible to do an upgrade of this degree to a standby under data guard? Yes. Steve Karam does it all the time, and he has these notes:
"Dataguard's physical backups are a GREAT DR situation for a failed upgrade. You will have an exact physical copy of your database ready to switchover to if anything goes wrong with the upgrade. Basically you switch your final archive log and shut down your primary, then begin the standard upgrade.
If something goes wrong, you can perform a failover on your standby server and you're back up with no possibility of inconsistencies since it's a physical backup. In my opinion, the only method better than DataGuard for a backup for upgrade scenario would be to use SAN tools like NetApp's snapMirror or Sun's
Availability Suite in order to back it up; these tools can snapshot a DB in a matter of seconds and are good for this sort of situation: if the upgrade goes wrong, simply restore the snapshot.
If you do it right, you can set up dataguard with only 5 minutes of downtime, then perform your database upgrade with only 5 minutes of downtime. I have done this method for clients in the past and they have been very happy with the results."
Bipul Kumar has a book devoted to using Data Guard, that you may find helpful, and he notes the steps for a Data Guard-based upgrade:
http://www.rampant-books.com/book_2004_2_dataguard.htm
"Upgrading to Oracle10g database software in a Data Guard environment involves the following activities:
If the Data Guard configuration is managed by Data Guard broker, the broker configuration needs to be removed using the existing version of database software. In other words, remove the Oracle9i configuration before upgrading to Oracle10g. Execute the following command after connecting to any site in the configuration using DGMGRL to remove the configuration:
REMOVE CONFIGURATION;
Install Oracle10g database software. The Data Guard feature is not available with the Standard edition, so the Enterprise edition must be installed. Additionally, install Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 10.1 in order to manage the configuration using Data Guard Manager GUI interface, which is tightly integrated with OEM.
The primary and standby databases should be upgraded to Oracle10g. The log management services should be stopped during the primary database upgrade. All of the redo logs generated during the database upgrade should be applied manually on each standby database. For more information on upgrading to Oracle10g, refer to the documentation, “Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 10g Release 1(10.1)”.
Update the initialization parameter files or server parameter files on the primary database and all the standby databases to include the parameter db_unique_name. The database unique name must be identical on all the databases in a configuration.
Once all the databases in the Data Guard configuration are upgraded to Oracle10g, the broker configuration file will have to be created in order to manage it using Data Guard broker. Execute the following command, connecting to the primary database using DGMGRL, to recreate the broker configuration file and to add standby databases"
Also, see the docs, with their instructions:

Breaking DataGuard Configuration

Hi
We are in process of doing database upgrade in dataguard configuration and we are planning to break the dataguard configuration and we will do the upgrade in standby database then we will do it in primary. My questions here is
1)I am going to break the Dg configuration like disabling the DGBROKER,unset the archivelog dest,dg_broker_start=false.....so onnn
2)How to open the standby database in readwrite mode.
DB VERSION IS 9.2.0.6
os is WINDOWS-2000
kk

Hi Ogan,
Can i do the following steps to break primary and standby.
1)DISABLE DATAGUARD BROKER CONFIGURATION
2)STOP MRP PROCESS ON STANDBY --->ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;---->
3) On the primary disable any archive destinations that are archiving to the standby:
SQL> select dest_id,destination,status from v$archive_dest where target=’STANDBY’;
SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer scope=both;
4)on standby database mount standby database and issues the below command
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
if i do like this is it going to work as primary???

Hi Helios,
As you have asked me to check os related setting adjustment according to the document(ID 169706.1).
I am already running 9.2.0.6 on my machine sucessfully, and as per the document there is no seperate column for 9.2.0.6 and 9.2.0.8(there is only one column as
9.2.0), which is indication that os related setting adjustment will be same for both 9.2.0.6 and 9.2.0.8.
As i have already mentioned above that i am having no problem in runnig the 9.2.0.6 database then how it can be a issue with
os related setting adjustment .
Please guide me if i am wrong.
Thanks and regards

Steps to upgrade oracle database from11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2003 3

Hi,
Upgrade steps
1. Install 11.2.0.3.0 rdbms software
11.2.0.3 patch set is a full release.
Beginning with the release 11.2.0.3 patch set, you have two ways to apply a patch set
i)Out-of-place upgrade (Recommended) -- 11.2.0.3 will be installed as standalone at another location. So there is no impact on source oracle home and also DB upgrade will take less time
See Note 1276368.1 : Complete checklist for out-of-place manual upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 , it is applicable for 11.2.0.3 as well
ii)in-place upgrade - 11.2.0.3 will be installed on top of 11.2 installation, So source oracle home will be replaced, Downtime will be high comparing out of place upgrade
for more info, Please refer to

Next log sequence to archive in Standby Database (RAC Dataguard Issue)

Hi All,
I just had implemented Data Guard in our server. My primary Database is RAC configured, but it is only single node. The other Instance was removed and converted it to Developement Instance. For the reason I kept the primary as RAC is when I will implement dataguard, my Primary Database is RAC with 7 nodes.
The first test is successful, and I was able to "switchover" from my primary to standby. I failed in the 'FAILOVER" test.
I restore my primary server and redo the setup.
BTW, my standby DB is physical standby.
When I try to switchover again and issue archive log list, below is my output.
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 38
*Next log sequence to archive 0*
Current log sequence 38
SQL> select open_mode, database_role from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
MOUNTED PHYSICAL STANDBY
===============================================
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 38
*Next log sequence to archive 38*
Current log sequence 38
SQL> select open_mode, database_role from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
READ WRITE PRIMARY
In my first attempt to switchover before I failed in "FAILOVER" test, I also issue +archive log list+ in both primary and standby database, and if I remember it right, next log sequence on both should be identical. Am I right on this?
Thanks in Advance.
Jay A

Or Am i just overthinking on this?
Is dataguard only looking for the current and oldest log sequence?

Third party backup software support for dataguard configurations

Any Oracle document about the subject?
I would be interested in an answer about backupexec 2010 r2 in particular, because reading the manual for its oracle agent there is information about Oracle/RMAN and RAC support, but nothing about Dataguard integration, that could be a value added.
Anyone using third party backup agents in a Dataguard configuration?
Interested in version 11gR2 on Linux.
Thanks,
Gianluca

yes, you should be able to use the full backup taken in middle and use the rest of the log backups taken afterwards to restore the database.while I do not use TSM, we use QUEST(DELL) LITESPEED, that takes full backup once a day and log backups
every 15mins.
if someone accidentally takes full backup in the middle of day with out 'copy only',
log sequence will break and successive log backups depend on this full back up.
while this should be prevented from happening in first place, you can still restore from native full backup and then apply log backups taken from third party taken after the native Full backup.
if this happens, I would restore the FULLBACKP with NORECOVERY using NATIVE SQL and then use lite speed syntax to restore the log backups.Remember, native sql cannot read third party formatted backups(atleast litespeed), thats why I restore the full backup
using native sql, since it was taken with native sql backup and log backups using litespeed syntax.
Hope it Helps!!
Thanks, well it was just a theory discussion we had about the issue. But none of us could find info on the internet easy to prove our point :) Thanks.

Upgrading Standby Database

Hello Expert !!
Once again I need you expert advice. We have a production database on 9.2.0.5, which we would like to upgrade to 10.2.0.3. A Physical Data Guard configuration is present for this database. The size of the database is more than 1 TB.
Upgrading Primary database is straight forward but how do I upgrade the standby database and continue the Data Guard configuration.
While upgrading the primary we would startup database with upgrade option and then startup-shutdown database couple of times. While upgrading standby how do I startup-shutdown it? (I mean normally we would normally mount the database and then open it as standby database and then place it in recovery mode).
Thanks for sharing your expertise !!!
Regards

Please read it, rather than asking others to abstract it for free.
This is a forum where people exchange their experiences, if you are really looking to make money then please this is not the place you should be in.
If you are not capable enough or haven't performed yourself then its better to be quiet.
Metalink document (Note Id: 316889.1 Complete checklist for manual upgrades to 10gR2) discusses on upgrading from 9i to 10g but unfortunately doesn't mention a word about Standby Databases. So, I was looking for people who has actually performed the upgrade themselves and who could actually point to a URL which discusses more on this issue. I dont want you to walk-in and perform the upgrade for me.
Please, never ever take time to answer any of my questions. Remember my username "Oracle_Lover".
Thanks anyways....

Creaton of Standby database and dataguard broker

Hi Experts,
I am using Linux with Oracle version 11gR2. We have planned to create a physical standby database and also configure dataguard broker for the standby database.
Also, I've read the documents that active dataguard is a feature on 11g. Is it not possible on 10g ?
Can someone please provide me the steps to create the standby database and configure the dataguard broker.

Hello;
A simple Data Broker setup would be :
On both Primary and Standby sites, change the initialization parameter in the spfile to enable the Data guard broker.
SQL> Alter system set dg_broker_start=True scope=both;
On the PRIMARY site, open the ‘cmd’ and start Command Line Interface (CLI) of the Dataguard Broker (DGMGRL).
/home/oracle:PRIMARY >dgmgrl
DGMGRL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@PRIMARY
Create broker configuration.
DGMGRL> create configuration ‘broker1’ as
primary database is 'PRIMARY'
connect identifier is primary;Configuration "?broker1?" created with primary database "PRIMARY"
DGMGRL>
(‘primary’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the PRIMARY database)
Add Standby Database to the above configuration.
DGMGRL> add database 'standby' as
connect identifier is 'STANDBY'
maintained as physical;
Database "standby" added
(‘to_standby’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the STANDBY database)
Now the configuration has been set up but it is still disabled. You can view the configuration by executing:
DGMGRL> show configuration
The next step is to ENABLE the configuration ‘broker1’.
DGMGRL> enable configuration;
Enabled.
Again view the configuration.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration - ?broker1?
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Databases:
PRIMARY - Primary database
standby - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
SUCCESSIn my humble opinion its a good idea to setup Data Guard without Broker and get the "feel" of it first.
Remember, once you setup Broker, you cannot use SQL to change your Data Guard setup.

Migrate and Upgrade ReportServer database from SQLServer 2012 to SQLServer2014

Hi,
Today I migrated one reporting service from sql server 2012 to new server which running sql server 2014.
Firstly I back up encryption key and restored to new server, then follow the https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/ms156421.aspx (e.g. backup, restore reportserver). In section "How to Configure the Report Server Database Connection" , I
cannot pass this step as it complains it is not a report server, please see error below:
However I can see my original reports/data srouces in below url and I can create new items like data source:
http://sydwt-ssql-1/ReportServer
http://sydwt-ssql-1/Reports/
Anyone knows what happened?
Here are the version information:

Hi
As Alberto’s post, it's not supported to run a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) database on SQL Server 2012 in Server 2008 R2. Since your application requires SQL Server 2012 Express as a minimum, you can try the following method:
1. WSUS in Server 2012 supports SQL Server 2012, if you want to upgrade WSUS database supports SQL Server 2012, you need to upgrade WSUS 3.0 SP1, operation system and so on. For more information, you can post the question about WSUS in the
Windows Server forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you. In addition, upgrade SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012, as Shanky’s post, you need to make sure that your SQL Server 2005 has been applied Service Pack 4.
2. However, if you don’t want to upgrade WSUS database from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012, I recommend you to install a new instance of SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
In addition, before installing SQL Server 2012 or upgrading to SQL Server 2012, your system should meets the following prerequisites:
• The Windows Installer service must be running.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4.0 are required.
• Windows PowerShell 2.0 or later is required if you're upgrading the database engine.
For more information about the prerequisites for installing SQL Server 2012, please review the following link:
