i have Oracle 10g data guard set up on windows environment.....i need to know the what are the right steps to perform failover in case the primary database gets fail.
View 4 RepliesIn 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.

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 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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).
I have installed oracle 11g standard edition one and created both primary and standby database. now i want to know how to switch(convert) primary database to standby database.

Here we have a data guard environment with db1(db_unique_name) as primary and db2(db_unique_name) as physical standby database. Also we configured one schema on a third machine as catalog database using following steps. The steps executed in catalog database(appsdb):
SQL> create tablespace rmancatlog_tbs datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/NEW/rman_catalog.dbf' size 500M autoextend off extent management local segment space management auto;
SQL> create user rman identified by oracle
2 default tablespace rmancatlog_tbs
3 quota unlimited on rmancatlog_tbs
4 ;SQL> GRANT connect, resource, recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;
RMAN> create catalog;
recovery catalog created
Added tns entries of catalog database in primary and standby. Then from primary database we tried to register to catalog database. It is showing that it is registering. But every query afterwards in rman is throwing the error. Below are the steps and error:

I was using physical standby but my primary database had had some HW issue.So I had activated standby database to handle production.During 3 months, standby database was our live database and our old primary was unavailable.Now HW issue on primary has been fixed.And I want to set again my old configuration : means set primary and standby db.
I'm trying this :
1) check the SCN on old primary
2) Rman incremantal backup from scn
3) on primary db : catalog
4) on primary db : recover database noredo

I am going to change some parameters on primary database (db cache, java pool etc.). I am not sure, if the changes are automaticallly propagated to standby or if I have to make the changes manually on stanby site too?

I am new to Oracle and a beginner in Data Guard.
1) How to find archive log gap from Primary Database site?
2) Do I need the DB_UNIQUE_NAME when setting the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 ? What is the purpose of DB_UNIQUE_NAME in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter?
3) If archivelog gap happens standby db goes out of sync with the primary database. What does out of sync actually mean?
4) Primary DB knows where to transport redo data based on the location mentioned in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n of Primary DB. Am I correct in my understanding?
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...
(Oracle 11gR1 OEL 5)Is there any possibility to convert snapshot database (standby) directly to Primary. Instead of manual switchover I want to do this
I have checked that snapshot creates a guaranteed restoration point which reverts back changes in Standby.
I have a Sap Primry Database and also a standby db that was working perfectly.. We migrated the primary db from windows 2003 to windows 2008 and brought the primary db up.. I had to create a controlfile and do a system copy and had to reset the logs on the Primary.. All came up and when i checked the standby it was receiving the logs but after a month. i see that it was not applying the logs as I think because of the sequence number .. it stopped.
I did the ffg as per the attachement...My logs have been shipped across but not applied, But What worrries me is the log sequence number on my Primary

I want to know if there is any reflection on the standby database states when it's primary is down or not reachable? I want to use this information from standby node to determine if I can programmatically execute (dgmgrl) failover operation or not? This is considering that the broker configuration has no fast-start failover and no observer enabled/configured.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to change the instance parameter of the primary database and standby in the data guard. Any procedure to do the same. I have to do it directly on production and there is no test set up so I cannot experiment . The procedure I am thinking of is as below.
1. Stop the standby
2. backup the primary
3. Change the parameter and restart to make it effective
4. Start the primary
5. Go to stand by
6. Change the parameter and mount the database.
7. Check if both are in sync and apply logs if not.
I new to data guard concept.
I am using oracle 10g with data guard configured , I have primary ( A ) and standby database ( B ) .But because of some unavoidable conditions the primary database ( A ) got shutdown and was not starting , We shifted the standby database ( B ) at new location and changed it to primary with following command ,
startup mount;
alter database recover managed standby database finish;
alter database commit to switchover to physical primary;
shutdown;
startup;
This new primary ( B ) was open for end users for 2 days during which old primary ( A ) was shutdown .
I took the backup of ( B ) and restored it on A AND shutdown the B . Now A is acting as Primary database. Server B is shutdown . I want to change server B to standby database with A running as Primary .Is it possible ?
I am using Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 as primary database, we are going to start using Oracle data guard. So I am designing my infrastructure and planing to use Oracle 11.2.0.3 Single instance as my physical stand by database.
My question is it feasible to have my standby database as single instance while the primary is RAC? is it feasible to build my Oracle single instance standby database from the RMAN backup of the RAC primary database? Is there any restrictions (or any points to be taken into consideration) since my primary database is RAC while the physical standby is Oracle single instance?
in the below link
[URL].......
it was mentioned that primary can be RAC or single and same for standby, but my question is it feasible to have primary as RAC while standby as single instance? or it should be like each others?
The primary database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. Similar to a primary database, a standby database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle RAC database.
What is difference when you issue a create controlfile with "standby" keyword on the primary database
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/path/db_stby.ctl';
vs. creating a control using
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE to '/path/db_control.ctl';
what does ORACLE put into the standby control that is "extra"? ie. what is the difference between a standby control file and a normal control file?

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
How can find the number of standby databases configured for primary database from os level

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?
