Data Guard :: Upgrade Oracle 9i R2 Single Instance To 11G R2 RAC?
Feb 17, 2011
There is a Single Instance production server Oracle 9iR2 [9.2.0.8] OS HP-UX PARISC 11i v1 to RAC.
Now we want to migration this server with minimum downtime to Oracle 11gR2 [11.2.0.2] in RAC environment OS HP-UX 11i v3 Itanium DOwn time must be minimum. what will be the procedure ?
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?
I am not able to find any document that shows steps to create a SINGLE INSTANCE LOGICAL STANDBY database for a 2 NODE ORACLE RAC database. I have found documents for RAC to Single Instance Physical standby database. But not for Logical Standby.
Details:
OS: Redhat 5 DB: 10.2.0.4(shared file system, not using ASM/Standby also file system) Status: Single instance physical standby database created, need to convert it to Logical standby.
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?

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'm planning to upgrade a small database (~150GB) from 10.2.0.3 on windows 2003 23bit to 11.2.0.3 RAC on Linux 5.8.The database contains oracle spatial too. A suitable method and link to document to be followed.
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.
We are in project design phase and following is the hardware setup:
Database (2 node RAC)-Solaris 10 Application server server (2 server) -Solaris 10 Web server (2 server for Failover)= RHEL
For DR Database (1 node)-Solaris 10
need to know 1.What are the best practice to implement and to configure DR as Non-RAC physical standby for RAC database server. 2.What are implication if we go for single node except failover node unavailability for DR. 3.What are the steps of Switchover in this case. 4.What's the recommended backup solution for 8-10 Terabyte database
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 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 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.
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.
Initial situation: Oracle 10g database single instance on Windows 2008 (datafile within NTFS partition) Final situation: same database upgraded to Oracle 11g r2 on a two nodes RAC on Windows 2008 (datafile within ASM)
In your opinion, is this the best way to achieve the job ?
1) on the two nodes install grid 11gr2, asm, rdbms 11g r2 (SE) 2) export full from 10g 3) create a new empty 11g r2 database in the RAC 11g r2 infrastructure with the same tablespace layout of 10g database 4) import full from 10g to 11g r2
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 have a clients who currently implementing an application that using Oracle 10g in 20 distributed location. Each location will have its own database server and locally managed. I plan to create a Disaster Recovery (DR) Centre for this client in centralised location. I plan to setup 20 Application Server but only one database server with 20 instances. My question, can the Dataguard manage the replication between 20 database (with single instances) and single database (with 20 instances? The reason we design such way is to reduce the license cost of Oracle.
I want to install oracle 11.2.0.2 single instance database on AIX 6.1, does oracle recommend separate OS user for grid infrastructure and for oracle install? how many groups I need to have for these users like oinstall, dba etc?
The best way to structure my schemas within a single Oracle instance to support multiple project development. At the moment, within an Oracle instance I have Area_Dev and Area1_Test schemas, with the intention that Project Xv1.0 would use Dev schema for development and Test schema for testing.
Lets say I want to start on Project Xv2.0 development while I am still finalizing Project Xv.10 development what is the best way of accommodating that, without creating individual schemas for each project?
We've been administering a multiple instance production dB server with 3 different versions of Oracle installed.Currently, each of Oracle version had corresponding listener.Oracle 9i had 2 instances, 10g 6 instances & 11g 2 instances also.how I can integrate this 3 listeners into 1.
I'm trying to test moving a single instance 11202 database to single instance w/ grid infra.
Here is what I've done:
1. Install a database (11202), single instance and create a database 2. Install Grid Software only (user: grid) 3. start the cluster 4. "srvctl add database -d orclsidb -o $ORACLE_HOME" to register the database with grid. 4.1> I was able to start/stop the database with srvctl command here onwards 5. configure disks using asmlib and start the asm 6. "srvctl add asm" to register asm with grid. 7. PROBLEM ... when I try to "backup as copy database format '+ASM_DATA_DG';" from oracle user it errors out as below:
RMAN> backup as copy database format '+ASM_DATA_DG';

I am planning a single instance database using Oracle 11gR2 Enterprise. The instance will run on OEL 5.5 which is on VMWare ESX 3. All disk space will be provisioned as VMDKs. The physical disk comes from a NetApp 7 controlled SAN with multiple disk arrays (one fast disk array and one slower disk array) using NetApp's RAID-DP (RAID-6).
Is there any benefit to using ASM in this single instance configuration ? It seems the data is already being striped, balanced, deduped, and (somewhat) protected by ESX, NetApp, and RAID-DP. NetApp SnapShot provides additional back-up options.
I am thinking without ASM, I could have one 1 TB LUN, say /u01, for the binaries, data files, and management files on the fast disk array and one 1 TB LUN, say /r01, for the flashback recovery area and all other recovery related files on the slower disk array. With autosize capabilities, any of the files can expand as needed up to the 1 TB capacity. 1 TB per disk array is the resource allocation for this instance.
With ASM, on the fast disk array I would have one 32 GB LUN for binaries and other files which must be outside of Oracle's CFS under ASM and then four 248 GB LUNs to create the ASM disk group DATA. On the slower disk array I would have four 256 GB LUNs to create the ASM disk group FRA.
We have an existing RAC on our Data Center and We have an IBM AIX that is designed to run a Synchronous Peer to Peer Remote copy(PPRC) that used to copy data to a remote site for Disaster Recovery Purposes.
Scenario will be,
Since that our Server from the DR site have a PPRC capability it used a remote copy of our ASM-RAC (from our Data center) as storage. Is it possible that we install a Single Instance to our DR-Site and used the copy of our ASM-RAC as storage?
i have created an another instance on a single machine i got error when starting up a new one - error starting up database in exclusive mode so i shutdown older database instance , to start new one now is it possible to run both instance parallel?
SO....: Win 7 64bits DB....: Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE 64 bits
In my notebook, i have 2 instances (orateste and ora11). They are all for testing purpose. I don't know what happened but, a problem in a partition of my SO made the Oracle software unavailable. I cannot start instance orateste. Even the windows service related to the instance have disappeared from services.msc. What i want to do is to restore only one tablespace from instance orateste to ora11. I have a full rman database backup from D-1.
1) Restore the entire database (orateste - 11.2.0.1) to ora11(11.2.0.3)?
2) Is there a way to restore only one tablespace, between instances and versions?
I have set up a cross platform (Microsoft Windows IA (32-bit) -> Linux x86 64-bit) data guard and it worked fine.Then I did a switch over (which again worked) and found out the data is not getting replicated at all.. checked the data files available from the new primary database and found out they are in the windows format as below..

We are planning upgrade three 32-bit 9i databases (on three physical machines) to a single 64-bit 11g VMware box. Average size of DB is 300GB.Planning to move the first 9i DB by the end of this month, followed by 2 and 3.How to do this using hot backup?
I am configuring Grid Infrastructure 11g2 on node A, one of two cluster nodes, and getting the following message: [INS-40916] Single-instance versions of Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) are detected.
I executed runInstaller and installed software-only on both A and B nodes. It apparently the other node has already CSS instance running, and maybe caused by the installation.I remove the software from A first?
How do I stop CSS on the node A, and let the configuratoin to continue on this node B
