We are going to set up dataguard physical standby on 2-node RAC, which primary is also 2-node RAC.
PRD site: prd-node1 & prd-node2DR site: dr-node1 & dr-node2.
As I know, there is only 1 instance to do the redo apply on standby (i.e. dr-node1).
My question is, what will happen if dr-node1 failure (by shutdown abort or kill process)? will dr-node2 change to redo apply?
1) If i do changes in table on primary database and if i open standby database in Read-Only mode, i can see those changes immediately only if Real Time Apply is enabled. Am i correct? Database version is 10.2.0.4
2) From 11g, It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode. prior to 11g, it was not possible. Right?
3) Should I first cancel Managed Recovery prior to issuing “ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY”?
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 have attended an interview there i got a question like--->There are 100 archives generated in standby in that a series of five archives are missing and those are not available in the primary then how will you do.....

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 ?

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 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 believe, in a multiple RAC Physical Standby nodes only one node applies the archivelogs to the standby database. How you can find which node is the APPLY NODE using a SQL query?
I know you can veiw this information by querying the standby configuration using DGMGRL but how would you find out this information from a remote client using SQLPlus/PLSQL?
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 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?

I 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 ?

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.
SQL> update t set a = 1 where b = 2; -- must have redo record
2 rows updated.

the above redo record that uncommit changed must be written from redo buffer to the online redo logfile. why Oracle write the redo record that uncommit changed to the online redo logfile ? when it will be used?

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.
