Mistakenly I have configure dataguard on different versions. Primary is 11.2.0.3.0 and Stand By is 11.2.0.1.0. Log shipping is perfectly working, but cannot put Stand By in read only mode.
I have a primary and standby DB using data guard 10.2.0.3.I want to upgrade oracle to 11G.I know that primary and standby should have same version even if data guard will not work again.I want to know what is the steps by steps action to properly upgrade both DB : primary and Standby.
For the maximum protection and maximum availability as well as to enable Real Time Apply we need to setup the standby redo log group. My question is what would be the standby redo log group configuration in case if we setup single instance standby database for 2-Node RAC primary database. Do we require a separate standby redo thread for each primary online redo thread or RFS use the Multiple Standby redo group from the same thread to receive the redo changes from both the node ?
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
Fatal NI connect error 12514, connecting to: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.16.0.98)(PORT=1522))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=STAND)(SERVER=dedicat ed)(CID=(PROGRAM=d:oracle11gappadministratorproduct11.1.0db_1inORACLE.EXE)(HOST=A960M)(USER=SYSTEM))(SERVER=dedicated))) VERSION INFORMATION: TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
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)

3)wen i try to open standby database in read only mode gives below error..

I've 2 DB : One primary and One physical standby. I want to change SYS password on primary DB. Can I do it without any action on standby DB side ? If not, give me a step by step details to perform this action properly.
I am getting error ORA-16816: incorrect database role. The reason is my switch over to standby become failed and now both primary and standby databases showing 'database_role' as 'Physical Standby'.My question is how to manually set 'database_role' to 'PRIMARY' on primary database.
I'd like to know the Standby hostname and database name (db_unique_name) from primary using SQL. Simply put, which table in primary datbase gives us the standby host and the database name. I am aware that TNSNAMES.ORA contains details, but we cannot use SQL for that. I am also aware of V$ARCHIVED_LOG's DEST_ID column. But, the DEST_ID will not show the host and the db names, neither does V$PARAMETER's LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n if SERVICE parameter is set to Connect Identifier.
If I further paraphrase my problem, how I'd relate a dest_id to a standby host and database using SQL.
SELECT <columns> FROM <v$some_view> WHERE dest_id IN (2, 3);
DEST_ID HOST_NAME DATABASE_NAME -------------------------------------------------------- 2 host2 standby_1 3 host3 standby_2DB version : 10g OS : Solaris 10
We have dataugard set up on linux with oracle10.2.0.1.0 and now we want to upgrade that complete setup (primary, standby, dataguard broker) to 11.2.0.3.0.
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 did standby before and it works wighout any disturbations and even configuration seems to me not very complicated - but it was before. now i am trying to do standby configuration once again. there is database named DESK.
two physical serwers: sczepl-db07 - primary r00979 - standby
on each for this serwer there is listener listening on port 1521, and on each is tnsnames configured properly:
1) How to copy the ARCHIVED LOG FILE from Primary to DR location. Where if the DR is having the file already, how to SKIP that Particular Archived log file? 2) I have Checked with the FILE_TRANSFER DBMS package, but it gives the error if any file existing already.
I'm using 2 databases : Primary and Standby DB. It working fine. I've just one question : I want to change SYS password on primary DB. Can I change it without any action on Standby DB?
I have one primary database and one physical standby database on my data guard environment.
Now i want one more physical standby database in my data guard environment, meaning i want 2 physical standby. since this is a production environment, i need to take great care. However, downtime will be mandatory.

I have configured data Guard on oracle 11gR2. It is working fine. The only issue i am facing is that when i am stopping the database on the primary server, it is taking a long long time to down the database.
Is it normal?
Furthermore, regarding backup i used veritas Netbackup to perform hotbackup. Can i still used the same principle.
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 couldn't find clear answer in documentation. how parameter changes work in dg physical configuration?
Brand new box, and I installed 11.1.0.6 (software only)
I have a brand new box set-up for a single-instance standby database, and I have installed 11.1.0.6 software only.
Do I need to patch 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 before I send a copy of the primary over to be set-up as a standby? If so, how do I patch 11.1.0.6 without having a local database in place as this server will only be used for a standby? Can patching the oracle_home only be done?
im on 11G R2 database on linux 5.4, while configuring a physical standby from scratch, remember i dont want to use RMAN, when i copy datafiles from primary to standby, is it necessary to shutdown primary and then copy datafiles ? or i can use SCP command and copy even though primary is up in read write mode?
I have Data guard configured with a primary database and a standby database. I have installed oracle 11.2.0.1 in both servers, and I want to upgrade to 11.2.0.3 by installing the patch. I know how to install the patch in the primary. Should I follow the same procedure also on the standby or it is different?
I am fairly new to Oracle and have recently started learning the basics of Data Guard. I have set-up a Primary 11g database which successfully ships and applies logs to a Single Standby (on the same server) as expected. Manual switchovers work fine; however, I have found a slight problem when performing switchovers using the Data Guard Broker utility.
The switchover is successful- but the broker cannot restart the Primary instance. The strange thing is that when I perform a switchover in the opposite direction (i.e. the new Primary goes back to standby again) it works fine. The error is receive is: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
The majority of posts I have seen on this topic seem to point to incorrect listener / tnsnames set up but they have exactly the same values. If both databases are identical, why does it work one way but not the other? I will provide any necessary files to pinpoint where the issue could be.
I want to replace one redo log on the primary database. actually this redo log is on G:oracleoradata; I want to move it on F:oracleoradata. How to do that cause the same redo log is also on standby database?
i have a db's in maximum protection mode and i am trying to perform a switchover of physical standby database to primary role. but it failed., the steps followed is as follows. everything is fine with old primary site and the it is now in mounted state. When I went through the log file, I got the error message as "ORA-16072: a minimum of one standby database destination is required".the standby_archive_dest is as follows.
old primary database
SQL> alter system switch logfile; SQL> alter system archive log current;
old standby database...Disconnect the managed recovery mode in Standby database.
SQL> recover managed standby database cancel; Media recovery complete. SQL> recover standby database; AUTO SQL> exit [code]....
We have a primary and a standby (Physical Dataguard) site.
1. How do i check if the database is encrypted or not on primary as well as standby ? 2. If primary and standby are encrypted, does the data that gets replicated from primary to standby also in encrypted form ? If not, does it make sense to encrypt that ?
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?
Primary RAC and Standby RAC databases are using version 10.2.0.4. They are configured & controlled via Data Guard Broker. Currently, the observer runs from one of the Standby nodes. All are on Solaris x86 64bit OS version 10.
Now, I have to move Observer to 3rd DC and I am looking If I could use another OS for observer instead of same as DB OS version. Why? Our new infrastructure is on RHEL Linux, therefore, I would like to deploy observer once and then wait for existing databases to be upgraded and moved to RHEL. Also, i understand that database and observer software should be of same version e.g. 10g, 11g.
My question is what if i install & configure observer on RHEL ? The end result would be:
1. Primary DB: Solaris 10, Oracle Software binaries version 10.2.0.4 2. Secondary/Standby DB: Solaris 10, Oracle Software binaries version 10.2.0.4 3. Observer: RHEL 5.8, Oracle Software binaries version 10.2.0.4
Is it accepted mix configuration say e.g. to run for six months? Also, it would be grateful to know if there any license implications when running observer on a different node running no databases at all.
