Data Guard :: Executing A Manual Failover?
Oct 5, 2013
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

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...

if it is possible to create a failover setup without RAC and DG...For example:
I have 11.2.0.2 database (with EBS 12.1.3) on dbnode1...I would like to create another node to failover my primary datbas in case of any failure.
Steps i will follow:
1: creat dbnode2
2: install same os as dbnode1
3: install same oracle as dbnode1
4: share dbnode2
database between dbnode1
and dbnode2
Now, if hardware fails on dbnode1, can i manually failover and start my database on dbnode2?
I know we can do with RAC and DG,BUT without RAC and DG If not possible..

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?

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).

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 ??

OS: Solaris
DB: Oracle 11.2.0.1 EE
Not Using ASM or RAC
I have a Production database that is in archivelog mode and a Standby DR server. Both servers (Prod, Standby) have exact same structure and db name/version.
We manually scp archive logs and recover them to a manual standby database via SQL Scripts "cron". (I.E. set autorecovery on; recover standby database;)
We recently got out of sync with our log files and have not been applying them to the standby. As part of Prod Maintenance, these log files were deleted and are not available anymore.
I've tried several ways to "rebuild" our standby database. I have tried to Shutdown prod, backup all the db files and scp them to standby, re-create standby controlfile and startup mount and recover standby. Every time I try to apply a new archive log via recover standby, these are the errors:
ORA-00279: change 211077622 generated at 1/27/2012 12:18:42 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oradump/arch/PROD/PROD_arch_1_69486_736618850.arc
ORA-00280: change 211077622 for thread 1 is in sequence #69486
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log '/oradump/arch/PROD/PROD_arch_1_69486_736618850.arc'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
ORA-10879: error signaled in parallel recovery slave
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oradevices/PROD/oraPRODsystem1.dbf'
When I check v$log_history, the new logs have not been applied. I've also tried the "Restore from incremental backup via SCN" method with same results. Is there a way to re-create the standby clean and ensure that the log chain that is currently broken gets fixed or reset? I would eventually like to get DataGuard in here, but that's not the case at the moment.

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 ?

Controlling User Access to Tables in a Logical Standby Database can be controlled using the following command:
ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;
My simple question is: how can I know the current active Guard setting in the standby database?

3)create control file for primary from trace(script) make changes for db name and file locations
4)mount and open primary database
5)create standby control file
6) transfer standby control file to standby

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.

What is expected behavior for VIP on Linux servers? ( 2-node RAC)
1.When entire RAC stack is running, and one node is rebooted or crashed? Will VIP fail over to second node?
2.When one node RAC stack is contained (crsctl stop crs), shutting down RAC stack on remaining node? What happens to the VIP and Scan IP?
3.When RAC stacks are down on both nodes, one node has VIP on (eth0:1), reboot this node. What happens to the VIP?
We see some behavior in scenario 3, but don't know why the VIP was moved to second node as all Oracle processes are down.

configure correctly my application, Oracle is version 11R1
My physical configuration is :
Site 1 (main building)
database on cluster : server1, server2
database : BASE1 available
Site2 (Backup Site)
database on cluster : server3, server4
database : DGBASE1 not available for users (dataguard)
I want to acces BASE1 first in load balancing server1,2 (normal usage) and DGBASE1 in load balancing server3,4 in case of failover after 5 retries of 10 secondes (in case of main buiding out of order, DGBASE1 will be available for users)
This is my actual setup :
(DESCRIPTION_LIST=(FAILOVER=ON)
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server1)(PORT=1234))
[Code]....
My trouble is that with this configuration, access it randomly BASE1 or DGBASE1 but DGBASE1 is not available for users then I have failure
What could be the right configuration to obtain BASE1 first in load balancing (normal usage) and DGBASE1 in load balancing in case of failover of the BASE1 after 5 retries of 10 secondes ?
