During Primary (old Standby) To Standby (old Primary) Switchover Hang?
Apr 4, 2013
I am using RAC to RAC data guard environment. Os hp-unix. during primary(old standby) to standby(old primary) switchover I am ussing:
SQL>ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
I have 11.2.0.1 environment with standby and when performing switch over - it was hanging for more than 2 hours and i had to cancel it. This is what all i see in the database alert.log:
Errors in file /u02/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/drpdb/drpdb1/trace/drpdb1_m000_15160.trc:

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;

I have a dataguard setup, a primary and a standby.my instance is testdb.i have set all necessary dataguard parameters and everything seemed to work well initially with logs being moved from primary to secondary and being applied there.but all of a sudden i see that the primary pushes logs to the standby and at the standby end these logs are available but not applied.
when i try to execute the: alter database recover managed standby database cancel; it hangs for a long time and never returns to sql prompt.
i bascially want to stop and restart the MRP process to apply the logs but cannot cancel the managed recover mode.Is it advisable to kill the mrp process at os level using "kill -9 "?

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

3 host3 standby_2DB version : 10g

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

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:
for sczepl-db07
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sczepl-db07)(PORT = 1521))
[code]....
so why primary don't see standby db and claims that ther is no standby service? i proved that there is connection primary <--> standby.

Primary:
2 NODE RAC Cluster/Linux x86-64/11.1.0.7.4 RDBMS
Standby server:
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 try to recover standby db from a primary db backup set,but the standby control file is different.
to create primary controlfile by rman:
backup control file format '/home/cur_control';
to create standby controlfile:
backup control file for standby format '/home/std_control';
I want to know if there is method to convert cur_control to std_control.

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 ?

(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 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.

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 ?

The customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups. There are are 200+ databases running on OEL, RHEL and Windows. So we planned to host the recovery catalog database on Oracle Active DataGuard 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition on RedHat EL 5.8 version on two physical servers.
The Primary Instance will be in one server in the Primary DC and the Standby Instance will be on another server in another DC. Also all the database datafiles are hosted in ASM Diskgroups on SAN (DATA, FRA, REDO, ARCH diskgroups). Are there any specific RPM/patch/OS user custom/specific settings or configurations needed..?

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.

What 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?

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 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.)

My steps for testing as below:
1.create a primary database
2.duplicate a physical standby database;
3.turn on flashback on both databases.
4.record SCN xxx on physical standby database.
5.convert physical standby to logical standby (using keep identity statement)
6.flashback to logical standby to xxx
7.convert logical standby to physical standby
8.using real time apply I got errors: Fast Parallel Media Recovery enabledManaged Standby Recovery starting Real Time ApplyMRP0:
