Data Guard :: Manual Standby Database Not In Sync With Missing Archivelogs
Feb 12, 2013
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.

I performed a switchover test of my Exadata databases last night. Both databases are running 11.2.0.2 (BP7) on top of GI of the same version.I'm using Data Guard Broker to administer the Data Guard configuration.
I have, as you'd expect, the standby_file_management set to AUTO, so any file changes/additions/deletions that are made on Primary should be applied to Standby also.And they have been. Until last night.
When I had switched over to running Primary on the Standby site, I got this error message:
Tue Jun 04 22:27:12 2013
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/exdw1pdg/exdw1pdg1/trace/exdw1pdg1_ora_26630.trc:
ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty
I checked and my two temp tablespaces existed, but had no files in them. These files are 200Gb and 448Gb in size, so you'd think you'd notice them going missing. This wasn't by any means the first time we switched over (and, yes, I did create temp files for Standby when I built it and first switched over)
We've switched over to Standby multiple times and even ran a whole day's processing against it and haven't seen this. Ultimately, it wasn't a big deal, because I just created a tempfile for each of the tablespaces and off we went.Nothing in MOS seems to mention something like this. Basically, it looks like the switchover process decided to eat my tempfiles but keep my temp tablespace defintion. Odd.

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.)

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?

I tried a Data Guard setup on Oracle Databases (version 10.2.0.4.0, on RHEL)
Primary Database is db5
Standby Database is db6
By the time I created standby database, 3 archivelogs (sequence 11,12,13) were generated on primary which I copied over to standby database server
Now while querying v$archive_gap on the primary database these archivelogs aren't listed
However at the same time querying v$archived_log on either Primary or Standby Database also does not list them
1)
In such case do I need to register these archivelogs on standby database?
Or else do I catalog these archivelogs on standby database?
Also as soon as standby database is started in recovery mode as a part of setup, 1 archivelog (sequence 14) was shown on standby
Now this archivelog has different path than the archivelogs generated later (sequence 15, 16)and v$archived_log shows it is generated as a part of FAL request (FAL=YES)
Question are
1) why it was FALed while redo apply services were active?
2) why this particular archivelog only which is part of FAL request is generated at different location
Does it generate at standby_archive_dest rather than FRA when FAL=YES?
3) why subsequent archivelogs are not part of FAL request or FAL request wasn't needed for subsequent archivelogs?
Primary database init parameters
*.db_name='db5'
*.db_unique_name='db5'

I have few queries regarding standby database.
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 got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply
2)Apply patches on logical standby database
3)let the name server point to the backup site
4)Apply patches on the primary database
5)Start SQL apply
6)Let the name server point back to the production site

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..

I have set up a single instance standbys for rac databases. Now, I need to offload the backups from the primary on to the standbys.
1. cancel managed recovery
2. connect to target(standby) and catalog and backup the standby
3. put standby in managed recovery mode.
I think following these steps, I can restore primary(?). Now, My question is, how can I use these standby backups to clone/refresh databases? I tried it by connecting to target(primary), catalog and auxiliary but rman is using the primary backups instead of standby's to refresh the auxiliary database.

i have done oracle data guard between two databases (database A is the primary) and (database B is the standby), and it was working fine for two weeks, then the network admin did some changes on the firewall on standby side, which made the primary database can not write on standby redo log , so archives was generated on primary and do not generated on standby by, now we solve the firewall probelm and new archives generated on primary is generated on atandby too, but now i have a gap in archives on standby database and standby database now is not synchronized with primary database, and data changes happen on primary is not reflected on standby, also archives that were generated on primary and did not generated on standby during the problem time is not registered in V$ARCHIVED_LOG neither on primary database nor on standby database
