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;

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
If my standby database is read only mode,does it can app the archive logs which come from primary database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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 ?
Can we make Data Guard to take clone Primary Database at Specific Time?
e.g. Clone Primary Database at 10 AM and at 6 PM?

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?
(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
SQL> select max(sequence#),thread# from gv$archived_log group by thread#;
MAX(SEQUENCE#) THREAD#

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.
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 Replies View RelatedWhat 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?

2)change db name in init.ora of primary and standby change database name control file location
3)create control file for primary from trace(script) make changes for db name and file locations
4)mount and open primary database
5)create standby control file
6) transfer standby control file to standby
7) mount stand by database and start manage recovery
If this steps will error free do i need to follow any thing additional to this or what is other best way for this or its not possible at all

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
