the data guard configuration is left as it is, i.e.
cta: physical standby
ctastd: primary
I discover the following findings in the alertcta.log, i.e. in cta database,
Primary database is in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode

ORA-16401: archivelog rejected by RFS
Cause: An attempt was made to re-archive an existing archivelog. This usually happens because either a multiple primary database or standby database(s) or both are trying to archive to this standby database.
Action: See alert log and trace file for more details. No action is necessary; this is an informational statement provided to record the event for diagnostic purposes.
it seems to be that there are multiple primary database, but it is not based on the information from v$database.Right now the physical standby database cannot received any archive logs from the primary.I've checked the database_role in both servers, they are as they are designated.
from the physical standby database
SYS@cta>select db_unique_name, database_role, switchover_status from v$database;
DB_UNIQUE_NAME DATABASE_ROLE SWITCHOVER_STATUS
------------------------------ ---------------- --------------------
CTA PHYSICAL STANDBY NOT ALLOWED
SYS@cta>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session
[code]....
the standby is always busy, i.e. SESSIONS ACTIVE. i.e make sure the archived logs are shipped and apply over to physical standby.
I have a 10gR2 standby database.Normally when logs are created in primary they automatically get shipped to standby but sometimes I get FAL request rejected or connection lost contact error and the logs are not automatically shipped .
Then when I manually switch a logfile the RFS process copies the old logs into DR site(around 4 or 5 logs).What is the problem...How to resolve this???
We have two Windows 2008 VMs with Oracle 11G configured as primary and standby.This configuration has been defined by a partner who is no longer working for us.We have broken the correct application of the redo log on the standby when we have not correctly restored some snapshots on those two VMs.I would like to create a new Oracle server that will become the new standby. For that, I need too :
- Display the full dataguard configuration to reproduce it on the new server - Stop (delete ?) the configuration on the primary server.
We also have the current problem that RMAN refuses to delete old archivelog since they have not been applied to the standby.
I created a standby database yesterday and everything is working correctly. I need to make some tweaks, however, and one of those is the directory that the standby database expects the archivelogs to be.
I found that the archivelogs were being shipped to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and named arch*.arc. Interestingly a log switch ships the archivelog minus the "arch" at the front and all archivelogs now do not have that format. I moved the archivelogs to the correct location and renamed them. I have been able to set the correct location using standby_archive_dest and can see that the archivelogs are shipped to there.
Also, v$archived_log shows the correct path and filename. The problem I have is that when I come to apply the archivelogs it still seems to think that they should be in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and named with "arch" at the front. what parameter I need to change to tell oracle the correct path and filename to use when applying the archivelogs?
How to make the automatic deletion of all the archivelogs when it is applied successfully on the standby database? We have 1 primary database and 1 standby database using oracle physical dataguard.
In the primary database, we have daily backup job so that the applied archivelogs are deleted automatically, no problem
But in the standby database ( physical standby) I have to go there and delete manually because I don't issue backup on this database. Is there any solution for this problem.
I have a DR setup with the following configuration
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS; CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BASIC' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE ; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
I dont want to backup the STDBY DB but I want the ARC files to be removed when applied so my flash area does not fill up. Is there some command(rman or not) that can fire off this policy?
I am creating physical standby database through Rman duplicate command from 2 node rac cluster. rman do all its work. now am try to start the mrp process on physical standby database. I am getting following errors

I copied the same pass file from primary to standby and many times verify the same but i got the same error.
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 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 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;

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.
i'm using a mixture of Oracle� Data Guard Concepts and Administration11g Release 1 (11.1) And Bulletin : MAA - Creating a RAC Physical Standby for a RAC Primary 10g ( on oracle support) But neither is comprehensive for what i'm trying to do.
setting up Data Guard Broker on a RAC Data Guard environment?
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...
Log shipping stopped logging/shipping into the Standby Database in one of our Oracle Data Guard Servers about two month ago and there was no change carried out as at that time. The Data Guard has only one Standby database. I have been managing the log shipping and recovery manually.
I did upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 on the secondary database , the primary database version is 10.2.0.4,i took cold backup from the primary to the secondary database , when i try to create control file on the secondary , i am getting this ORA-01130: database file version 10.2.0.3.0 incompatiable with ORACLE version 10.2.0.1.0.*

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.
