Data Guard :: Configuring Primary For A Failover (alternate) Remote Destination?
Aug 2, 2012
I have a situation where I want to configure primary database (11.2) with 2 remote destinations. dest_2 is the default and points to a standby on host_2. However, I also want the primary db to continue transporting redo to dest_3 on node_3 when node_2 is taken down (planned or unplanned).
1) Configure the ALTERNATE attribute of dest_2 to point to dest_3.
2) Configure tnsnames client-side failover on primary host to point to 2 nodes (node_2 and node_3).

If flashback is enable in physical standby database 1. If we failover at 11AM can I flash back NEW primary database to 6 AM ? 2. if I convert physically standby database to snapshot standby database at 11AM , Can I flashback snapshot standby database to 6 AM and do some works on it (DML operations) then converting the snapshot standby database into physical standby database ?

In my production -- we have 3 nodes Primary RAC with 2 Nodes Physical secondary Standby RAC. Due to some reason we will have to failover means 3 nodes Primary Standby RAC to 2 Nodes secondary physical Standby RAC. share Steps for Failover ( not switchover) from 3 Nodes Primary RAC to 2 Nodes Physical Standby RAC. I know this is generic and can be find from google but issue is how can failover from 3 nodes primary standby rac to 2 nodes secondary physical standby rac.

I am very new to data guard...I have a primary and a physical standby database...If the primary got crashed, are the users directly switched to physical standyby (is it automated) or the DBA has to manually do the fail over or switch over....is it the same concept as in RAC like TAF....How can the DBA know that the users are disconnected from the database.....explain with some steps...
the version is 10.2.0...

CentOS 6.4 64bits Oracle......: 11.2.0.4 64bits
I am running some small tests here in my test env, using dataguard. I have configured the Primary and Standby with Maximum Availability... they're running just fine. Now i want to execute a failover test (i have already ran a Switchover test with the Broker successfully).
My question is very simple, at my point of view: What are the required steps to execute a successful manual failover? For example, i have my env as follows:
- Primary: prim1
- Standby: stdb1
Suppose that the primary database crashes in an unrecoverable way... is this case a manual failover would be necessary.
To do so, i would have to execute the following command, in my Standby database:
-- stdb1 is the standby database... DGMGRL> failover to stdb1
The above command is correct? Are there any required configurations after the failover? I read the Oracle Docs, and it says

Here we have a dataguard environment with db1 as primary and db2 as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. What are the steps for configuring rman for incremental backups in this environment?
We want to schedule the backups to be taken in standby db, (that is applicable in case of switchover too). In the case of switchover to db2 what all do we need to do in rman manually to resume backups in db1?

My Data Guard 's Enviroment:
Primary: 11.1.0.7 RAC 2 Nodes
Standby: 11.1.0.7 Single Instance
I want to implement Fast-Start Failover at my enviroment. Reading requirements, I found that Oracle Flashback is needed (I don't use Flashback on my databases).
Best Practices recommends 60 min (1 hr) for DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET if I just want to use Flashback to fast-start failover.
My questions:
What 's better, setup up flash recovery area on ASM or O.S. filesystem?
What is the recommended size for flash recovery area?

We have a request to configure data guard for databases on the production server. Here is my situation:
We have a backup strategy in place where the backups are being taken on a regular basis. Archive logs are deleted as soon as they are backed up.
My question now is , is there a way of configuring the Data guard in such a way that there would be no change to existing backup strategy (RMAN) and still duplicate the archive logs to another destination and not delete the archive logs by RMAN backup process on that destination while the first destination is deleted.
We will be deleting the logs in the second archive destination using a script which checks if the logs were applied.

Dataguard and RMAN.
Got Active DataGuard on a primary database, quite nicely sending its archive logs to its secondary. I can quite happily use the Broker and switchover between them.
Now if I take RMAN backups of the primary database, if I have to failover to the secondary, I'm gonna loose all those backups.
Well, I can restore the whole database to the backup, cos I can restore the control file, from the backuip and therefore I can restore the whole db.
But if I want to restore to a tablespace, I wont be able to , cos the db_unique_names names are different, and the DB ID's will be different.
Same goes if I use a recovery catalog....
so how do I failover/switchover without loosing my previous rman backups ??

I was considering a solution to maintain a replicated copy of a database in a remote office. However we are using SE One edition of oracle, so native support for dataguard is not available. There definitely should be some scripting solutions for this task, but I can't find any to date.

I'd like to know the Standby hostname and database name (db_unique_name) from primary using SQL. Simply put, which table in primary datbase gives us the standby host and the database name. I am aware that TNSNAMES.ORA contains details, but we cannot use SQL for that. I am also aware of V$ARCHIVED_LOG's DEST_ID column. But, the DEST_ID will not show the host and the db names, neither does V$PARAMETER's LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n if SERVICE parameter is set to Connect Identifier.
If I further paraphrase my problem, how I'd relate a dest_id to a standby host and database using SQL.
SELECT <columns> FROM <v$some_view> WHERE dest_id IN (2, 3);
DEST_ID HOST_NAME DATABASE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------
2 host2 standby_1
3 host3 standby_2DB version : 10g
OS : Solaris 10

I was using physical standby but my primary database had had some HW issue.So I had activated standby database to handle production.During 3 months, standby database was our live database and our old primary was unavailable.Now HW issue on primary has been fixed.And I want to set again my old configuration : means set primary and standby db.
I'm trying this :
1) check the SCN on old primary
2) Rman incremantal backup from scn

I did standby before and it works wighout any disturbations and even configuration seems to me not very complicated - but it was before. now i am trying to do standby configuration once again. there is database named DESK.
two physical serwers:
sczepl-db07 - primary
r00979 - standby
on each for this serwer there is listener listening on port 1521, and on each is tnsnames configured properly:
for sczepl-db07
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sczepl-db07)(PORT = 1521))
[code]....
so why primary don't see standby db and claims that ther is no standby service? i proved that there is connection primary <--> standby.

I have one primary database and one physical standby database on my data guard environment.
Now i want one more physical standby database in my data guard environment, meaning i want 2 physical standby. since this is a production environment, i need to take great care. However, downtime will be mandatory.

I have configured data Guard on oracle 11gR2. It is working fine. The only issue i am facing is that when i am stopping the database on the primary server, it is taking a long long time to down the database.
Is it normal?
Furthermore, regarding backup i used veritas Netbackup to perform hotbackup. Can i still used the same principle.
