I am trying to create the Standby database using RMAN.
I have first created an auxiliary instance followed by the password file for the instance and the registering it it listener.
Below are the parameters of the pfile of the standby database and followed by the command issued at the RMAN prompt.
PFILE parameters [STANDBY] orcl.__db_cache_size=293601280 orcl.__java_pool_size=8388608 orcl.__large_pool_size=8388608 orcl.__oracle_base='F:appdsharma'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
We already have one standby database, but now, I want to create another standby database on another server, which ultimately I will make primary and then replace and destroy our current primary/standby databases.
Also, just for the heck of it, I tried to look in our DB Console, and the "Add standby database" is grey'd out.
Is this because I am only using DB Console, and not Grid?But if that were the case, why would the option even be in DB Console, or perhaps is there a lmiitation to the number of standby databases you can manage with DB Console?
In my environment Oracle database 11gR1 is running & dg is configured i.e >> 1 primary & 1 standby. In near future space issues will arise for standby. I want to create 1 more standby with max disk space, but how? Active dataguard is configured where report are generated from where & what changes should be made in Primary pfile & new standby pfile.
I would need to create a physical standby database for DR without using data guard. I like to know in more details like
1. What would be required to switch over to standby database in case of failure of primary database? Is it going to be a manual process each time, or can be automated using scripts? 2. How the archive logs will be applied to standby database in timely manner to sync with primary database? 3. How the Primary database will be synch with Standby database once the issue resolved on primary database. 4. Where do I get a complete script to create physical standby database on Windows platform?
1)On primary Database Standby Redo log is required for switchover and on standby database Standby Redo log is required for
--Real time Apply --Maximum protection or Maximum availability
Am I correct?
2)My database is in Maximum Performance mode. I set up following entry on init.ora: LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='service=standby LGWR ASYNC'. My question is do I need to have STANDBY Redo log file on standby database in order to use LGWR transport (LGWR ASYNC)mode from primary? Without Standby redo log on standby database can it transport redo data from primary to standby using LGWR transport mode (LGWR ASYNC)?
3)I have changed from the "ARCH" attribute to "LGWR" attribute of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter. But I have not changed the protection mode. I would like to know whether is there any impact in the behavior of the database, if we do not change the mode from "MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE" to "MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY"?
I have setup of two node (prod-db1, prod-db2) clustered database 11gR2 on windows 2008 R2 server. Everything is working fine at this setup.
My question is: Is there a way to make the Enterprise manager Database control run and be available at both the nodes independently. What I see that even at node 2 (which is prod-db2) the EM-DBControl is (https://prod-db1:1158/em) - which means the agent is running at node 1 (prod-db1) only.
My question is that how to make the EM-DBControl also run separately at prod-db2. My idea is to make the high availability of EM-DBControl (in case Prod-db1 machine is down).
I want to know that what will happen when I will resize database file from 32G to 5G on primary server or add file to tablespace. Will standby server do the same automatically or I have to to something with standby server?
Can i create logical_stand_by for windows server 2008, the primary data base is HP UX , both operating systems are 64 bits and data bases are Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0.
I am having a few issues trying to set up a physical standby database.
The primary database has a different naming structure than the standby and they are at different sites.
Physical is /var/hpsrp/ctrorp03/oradata/u0x/<DB_NAME>/<DB_UNIQUE_NAME> and standby is /var/hpsrp/drforp03/oradata/u0x/<DB_NAME>/<DB_UNIQUE_NAME>.
I have set db_file_name_convert to '<PRIMARY PATH>', '<STANDBY PATH>' times the number of paths as pairs. I have created a blank database for standby and having taken a full backup of primary with control file and standby control file.
Now I hit the issues:
The DB incarnation numbers are different. When I try and do a normal restore e.g. set dbid, restore controlfile; mount; it fails as it is trying to find files in the primary structure and not standby structure. When I try renaming via set newname or auxname it can't find files to restore I guess due to the incarnation id's. If I set the incarnation id and try to restore backup it fails as the incarnation id's don't match.
I have tried looking through various forums and the documentation but can't find a solution, probably can't see the wood for the trees though as there is so much.
i have setup the OEM-Dataguard in order to duplicate the DB instance from the primary to the standby DB in the standby server.At first I installed oracle server in Server A (Primary) created DB instance of SCT, in archivelog mode and then I install the oracle binary in Server B (standby) and made 2 servers ORACLE_HOME the same and also I installed OEM agents on the 2 servers and registered successfully to the OEM server.
I then used the dataguard to do the initial backup of the DB in server A and but when I specify the standby DB location, it prompt me the following error.
Error

I am using oracle 10g with data guard configured , I have primary ( A ) and standby database ( B ) .But because of some unavoidable conditions the primary database ( A ) got shutdown and was not starting , We shifted the standby database ( B ) at new location and changed it to primary with following command ,
startup mount; alter database recover managed standby database finish; alter database commit to switchover to physical primary; shutdown; startup;
This new primary ( B ) was open for end users for 2 days during which old primary ( A ) was shutdown .
I took the backup of ( B ) and restored it on A AND shutdown the B . Now A is acting as Primary database. Server B is shutdown . I want to change server B to standby database with A running as Primary .Is it possible ?
I have dataguard configuration operating in maximum availability mode with a local standby db (A - lgwr sync not using real time apply) and a remote standby db (B - lgwr async). I then simualted a crash of my primary database with batch jobs running. Since the stby db A is in lgwr sync option ,all the commited data in the current online redo log has been transmitted to stby A and is present in its stby redo log (Group 2).How do I apply this stby redo log to the remote stby db.
Tried the following methods.
1.ftp the stby redo log to the remote db and tried to regiter it, got an error that it is not completely archived.
2.issued the recover standby database command and supplied the stby redo log when it asked for the sequence in the stby redo, got an error saying there is corruption in a block(tried this option multiple times ended up with the same result.)
1.create a primary database 2.duplicate a physical standby database; 3.turn on flashback on both databases. 4.record SCN xxx on physical standby database. 5.convert physical standby to logical standby (using keep identity statement) 6.flashback to logical standby to xxx 7.convert logical standby to physical standby 8.using real time apply I got errors: Fast Parallel Media Recovery enabledManaged Standby Recovery starting Real Time ApplyMRP0:

Above result is from standby database.I am trying to understand the concept of standby redo log.My stadby database protection_mode is MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
i have configured physical standby in my local system, to check logshipping i created a table at primary db, wen i tried to check in standby, it says table does not exist..below are primary & standby alert entries..
Primary alert log

I have to implement Physical standby using same SID. parameters required to set on Primary and standby. Also what entries are required to do in TNS file. Recently we have faced hardware failure.
i have attended an interview there i got a question like--->There are 100 archives generated in standby in that a series of five archives are missing and those are not available in the primary then how will you do.....
I want to get the execute plan of a sql in standby database(read only),but failed,how can i do?

I have an issue whereby our standby instance was down for a couple of days and when it came back online we found an archivelog file was missing, so recovery only happened up to a point. It appears that the archivelog was deleted therefore we are unable to continue with this standby. We are now planning to rebuild the standby database. As far as i know all of the steps originally performed need not be performed to complete this task.
1. Shutdown standby 2. Delete all datafiles & redo logs 3. Copy over datafiles to respective directories 4. Copy online logs and archivelogs to standby. 5. Create a control file for standby database 6. Startup mount standby database 7. start redo apply
