Data Guard :: Recreate Standby Using Full Datafile Backup
Dec 6, 2012I have to recreate my standby database due to huge archive gap. I have full datafile backup of primary.
View 24 RepliesI have to recreate my standby database due to huge archive gap. I have full datafile backup of primary.
View 24 RepliesI use windows 2003 server, oracle 10.2.0.4.0.My question is related to maintaing a standby database
1. Do we need to take RMAN full backup of standby database on a regular basis? At the moment I dont take backups of standby database.
2. I have FRA on standby database. The archivelogs from primary go to FRA on standby. I delete my archivelogs as follows:
DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-3';
Though the archivelogs are delete there are still empty folders of archivelogs that are not deleted. How to get rid of them automatically.
Till now i was pretty sure that standby redologs are applied to database without any delay, but everything looks that the process is different. i did on primary server table and add some records to this table.
Next i switch to standby and open redologs (with hex editor) to look for this "create table" and "insert" commands. and i succeeded. so this is prove that standby log are supplied by primary database.
Next i cancelled recovery process and open database in read only mode and there was no records in this standby db, moreover there wasn't any table on standby. so i started to be confused, because i suspected that this table and it content will be on standby database.
Next i started recover process again for standby database and do some switch log on primary server. after that i back to standby, cancel recovery process and open database in read only mode. there was table and contents for it.
so my question is:
does standby redologs should be applied online to database or they are only applied after promoting standby database to primary database?
it looks like contents only from archivelog is applied to standby database. it is correct?
database is 9i.
I have Oracle database on Oracle 10g R2 with physical as well as logical standby database.
1) Is is necessary to take Physical standby database backup?
2) If 1) yes then Which RMAN backup is preferred?with catalog or default?How to take backup as different location?
3)how to Restore that backup?How to ensure backup is valid?
I have One Production and one logical standby database . Due to tape problem we are unable to take backups of primary . And due to business , we cannot take back up on disk in hot period(Bank database ) .
If i take logical standby database backup(level 0 ) using RMAN , then will i be able to restore it on production dtbs (In case Production down) ? . Logical standby is in sync with primary .
I have a Primary database and Standby database both in ASM. Recently my archive logs got deleted and i am trying to recover my standby database with an incremental backup based on scn from primary database. But i face the below error when i recover the standby database with the incremental backup taken in primary database.

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.)
My steps for testing as below:
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 haved drop a datafile on Primary,and the archived log has transported to Standby,but the datafile is still exist in Standby.

alter tablespace tps_hxl
drop datafile '/u02/app/oracl/oradata/hxl10.dbf';
I have flash backed by primary database to an older SCN, from then on I am receiving the following errors on my standby database when I do media recovery :

I'm trying to prepare data guard operation on the virtual machines.
1. I have install Oracle database without start up database on the standby server.
2. I try to connect this db by sysdba, but failed!

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 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
There are two servers.one in HP-UNIX and another is solaris.
I would like to configure a logical standby using oracle 9i...Is it possible in 9i?
Difference between standby and dataguard. I assume standby and dataguard are same?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are planning to setup a data guard (Maximum performance configuration ) between two Oracle 9i databases on two different servers.
The archive logs on the primary servers are deleted via a RMAN job bases on a policy , just wondering how I should delete the archive logs that are shipped to the standby.
Is putting a cron job on the standby to delete archive logs that are say 2 days old the proper approach or is there a built in data guard option that would some how allow archive logs that are no longer needed or are two days old deleted automatically.

I've a primary database and a physical standby.Logs are shipping perfectly from primary to standby.The logs that are applied on the standby are getting stored in a mount point(LINUX-/opt2) which consumes more space(160 GB). Will that be right if I go ahead and delete them?
My rman configurations in primary is:
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 4;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;

Today, I am learning dataguard 11.2.0.1. The docs said:A. Monitoring Standby DB Application of redo logs may be monitored by issuing the SQL command:
SQL> select client_dbid, process, sequence#, status from v$managed_standby;
In the primary database, the sequence# with the status “WRITING” would refer to the current redo log sequence#In the standby database, if the status of the process MRPO is “APPLYING LOG” and the status of the process LGWR is “IDLE”, then application of redo logs is up to dateI see that that MRPO at standby is "WAIT_FOR_GAP". How do I resolve this gap.
