Data Guard :: EM (DB Console) Configuration After Switchover?
Dec 20, 2012
I have this scenario:
- Oracle 11.2.0.3
- RHEL 4.6 64 bits
- Active Data Guard
- Broker configured
- DBconsole configured on primary server
Now, I have server PRIM with the primary database, and server STB with the standby server. For now, the dbconsole is configured in the PRIM server.When I do a switchover (to the standby on STB), EM is not configured, so I use RepManager.sh to clean the sysman user, and I use emca to recreate the dbconsole. After this, everything works.
Once I switch back, the EM is no longer configured on PRIM, so I repeat the previous steps (repManager and emca). Everything is ok after this. I can access the EM on the primary normaly, and this gets information from the broker to provide basic information on the STB (like db status, apply, and so forth).
I have a dataguard configuration (physical standby).Database A is the primary database and database B is the standby database (I do not use the broker).Both are Oracle RDBMS 12cR1 EE. The Apply process uses the current log (standby redo logs).On database B, when querying v$managed_ standby;, I get:
It works fine. Before to perform a switchover,- from database A (current physical database), I get switchover_status = 'TO STANDBY'- from database B (current standby database). I get switchover_status = 'NOT ALLOWED'. What switchover_status = 'NOT ALLOWED' means exactly and how to get further with the switchover?
we have a created primary and physical standby databases. Before the switchover the application connected to dataguard allows updates on the database. However after the switchover, it allows read-only access and we are unable to update. Any comments prima-facie ?
I am fairly new to Oracle and have recently started learning the basics of Data Guard. I have set-up a Primary 11g database which successfully ships and applies logs to a Single Standby (on the same server) as expected. Manual switchovers work fine; however, I have found a slight problem when performing switchovers using the Data Guard Broker utility.
The switchover is successful- but the broker cannot restart the Primary instance. The strange thing is that when I perform a switchover in the opposite direction (i.e. the new Primary goes back to standby again) it works fine. The error is receive is: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
The majority of posts I have seen on this topic seem to point to incorrect listener / tnsnames set up but they have exactly the same values. If both databases are identical, why does it work one way but not the other? I will provide any necessary files to pinpoint where the issue could be.
i have a db's in maximum protection mode and i am trying to perform a switchover of physical standby database to primary role. but it failed., the steps followed is as follows. everything is fine with old primary site and the it is now in mounted state. When I went through the log file, I got the error message as "ORA-16072: a minimum of one standby database destination is required".the standby_archive_dest is as follows.
old primary database
SQL> alter system switch logfile; SQL> alter system archive log current;
old standby database...Disconnect the managed recovery mode in Standby database.
SQL> recover managed standby database cancel; Media recovery complete. SQL> recover standby database; AUTO SQL> exit [code]....
I am having setup of 2 node 10.2.0.4.0 RAC setup on ASM with Single Instance Physical standby on File System (OS: RHEL 5.4). I configured DG Broker without any major issues. Getting all output of 'show configuration' and all DG related logs are clear. Archives are getting transferred from both Primary nodes.
Now I am getting error Error: ORA-16535: CRS is preventing execution of a broker operation.
DGMGRL> switchover to livedg; Performing switchover NOW, please wait... Error: ORA-16535: CRS is preventing execution of a broker operation
Oracle Says
Quote:Cause A broker operation was underway that required CRS to stop managing the instances of this database, but CRS management could not be stopped on behalf of the broker"s request on at least some of the instances, so the broker operation was canceled.Suspend CRS management of this database using SRVCTL STOP DATABASE -D <name> -O NONE. Then reissue the broker request.But this command is not working as it's given to stop the database.
One more thing, it's nowhere said to stop CRS while performing Switchover / Switchback using DG Broker. When we do Switchover / Switchback we keep open only one of the Primary instance.
is there any documentation / link available to switchover of RAC database using dgmgrl (DG Broker)
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 ??
tell me about data guard accommodate with 11g database standard additions or not if no,is there any way to make it working under this edition?one more thing may i have the steps of configuration data guard in real time for anew server.
just realised the data guard configuration seems to be workin but the error kepps appearing on the alert log of both primary and physical standby that i configured. below is my primary and standby pfiles.

For the maximum protection and maximum availability as well as to enable Real Time Apply we need to setup the standby redo log group. My question is what would be the standby redo log group configuration in case if we setup single instance standby database for 2-Node RAC primary database. Do we require a separate standby redo thread for each primary online redo thread or RFS use the Multiple Standby redo group from the same thread to receive the redo changes from both the node ?
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:
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.
I have created dataguard between two instances hosted in two different servers. I have done switchover from primary to standby & then again standby to primary with DGMGRL utility.
1- When I done switchover to primary & trying to open standby database in readonly mode it was giving below error-
ORA-01154: database busy. Open, close, mount, and dismount not allowed now
Why this error was coming ?
2- As I was not able to open standby database in read only mode, I have executed below command-
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
which return an error as-
ORA-01153: an incompatible media recovery is active
After this I have executed-
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
which executed successfully.
& then after standby database open in read only mode.
Why above error was coming ?
3- After this I had tried to check the checkpoint_change# & controlfile_change# from primary database and result shows both number were different.
I have recently configure Data guard with Database 10g (10.2.0.4-64 bits) on Windows 2007 server.My Data Gurad Configuration show Success status with 2 databases on same (or local) location.My questions are
1-When I query SHOW PARAMETER LOG ARCH
DG_CONFIG(PRMDB)
ONLY 1 (PRIMARY DATABASE IS DISPLAYED ONLY NOT 2 DTATABASES e.g. DG_CONFIG(PRMDB, STLDB)
2- How to check the log applied interval or time (either transaction by transaction, timing etc)
We have physical data guard configured version (10.2.0.4). We are in need to upgrade primary & standby database to 11G R2. Can we perform rolling upgrade.
I am running emca -config all db -repos recreate command and recreating the repository. Doing so I am getting error while uploading the repository. The Drop and Create is going fine. The exception that I am getting is :

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

Statspack has been configured for Active Dataguard on Primary database.We got an spike of Buffer busy waits for about 5 min in Active Dataguard, this was causing worse Application SQL's response time during this 5 min window.Below is what i got from statspack report for one hour

Why there could sudden spike of demand on UNDO data in Active Data Guard ?
I have an issue of not able to connect to the database after switchover without making changes in TNS entry after the switchover when I try to connect to then the primary database (which is standby before ) , the tns entry has entries for both the primary and secondary but the order of the primay and seconday database is to be changed manually till then it keep showing ERROR: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress.
I am working in a bank as an system consultant, i have a SAN Storage Area and oracle as below.
SAN 1
This interface includes the DATA FILES of the oracle tablespace
SAN 2
SAN1 Mirrors the DATA FILES of the oracle tablespace to SAN 2
1. Can i rely on real time data recovery from SAN2 ? 2. if SAN1 (Data Files are currupted) will the SAN2 Data Files will be currupted as well. 3. If the SAN2 is currupted then what Oracle Features can be used to have uncurrupted data.
i did everything writen but when i do *SQL>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;*
i go and look in the standby database AlertLog file ,and thats whats writen
*ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 1 - see DBWR trace file ORA-01110: data file 1: 'F:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0ORADATADBSYSTEM01.DBF' ORA-27041: unable to open file OSD-04002: غير قادر على فتح الملف O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.

strange thing that it realises the primary database in drive F and it goes to it but i dont understand what could be the reason of this ,although im doing this command while primary database is shutdown!
I configure logical standby online .when I execute dbms_logstdby.buid,first
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD;
it was blcoked by other sesson,then i kill the holding session,but no work.then i cancel this step and execute it again . the error is

I have set up a cross platform (Microsoft Windows IA (32-bit) -> Linux x86 64-bit) data guard and it worked fine.Then I did a switch over (which again worked) and found out the data is not getting replicated at all.. checked the data files available from the new primary database and found out they are in the windows format as below..
SQL> select name from v$datafile;

and physically they were created at '/home/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/' and as
1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?
2)i created a table in primary, its not refelecting in standby, (below i ve pasted alertlog entries)

Our organization has recently decided to go for storage metro cluster solution for disaster recovery. In a Data guard environment, we normally calculate how much archive log is generating and based on that value we calculate the required bandwidth.
For storage metro cluster, we need to find how much block is changing in our primary database, and the same rate of change would apply on DR cluster. Now, i need to give the assumption how much changing is happening in my system. How to calculate the change.
