Data Guard :: Standby Database Temp Files Go Missing?
Jun 5, 2013
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.

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-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.

1> Does dataguard in 10g use ftp/rsh to transfer archived log files to standby database or some other protocol?
2> In my primary database, archives are getting generated normally, there is no error in alert log file. But archives are not getting transferred to standby database. I am able to connect through sys user from primary server to standby database & vice versa.
Also, tnsping is working fine.
All was working fine till 2 days back & no parameter has been changed from database side. I am not able to transfer the file manually through FTP to standby server. Does it is the problem? Or dataguard doesnt use FTP protocol to transfer the files?

I've only successfully duplicate a standby database.
from the alert log
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1

when I tried to add the online and standby redo log, it error out

based on my understanding from [URL] ....
Quote:
As part of the duplicating operation, RMAN automates the following steps:
Creates a control file for the duplicate database
Restores the target datafiles to the duplicate database and performs incomplete recovery by using all available incremental backups and archived redo logs
Shuts down and starts the auxiliary instance (refer to "Task 4: Start the Auxiliary Instance" for issues relating to client-side versus server-side initialization parameter files)
Opens the duplicate database with the RESETLOGS option after incomplete recovery to create the online redo logs (except when running DUPLICATE ... FOR STANDBY, in which case RMAN does not open the database) when duplicating for standby database it does not create online redo logs. Duplicating a standby database does not creates online redo logs.
how should I add the online and standby redo logs. If I transfer the redo logs from primary to standby, it always encountered the the following error

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.)

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

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
