RAC & Failsafe :: Upgrade Of Oracle And Standby Database In HP UX
Mar 9, 2011
we had our Oracle RAC database at primary and Standby database as DR. It was running in 10g (10.2.0.1.0) in HP UX 11i platform.
We need to upgrade both the setups from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 . I will go through the upgrade guide, i like to know is there any special case for upgrading when we do for both primary and standby database.
And whether i need to create a new Oracle home with 10.2.0.4.0 software or i can upgrade in the same oracle home which already exists.
if it is possible to create a failover setup without RAC and DG...For example:
I have 11.2.0.2 database (with EBS 12.1.3) on dbnode1...I would like to create another node to failover my primary datbas in case of any failure.
Steps i will follow: 1: creat dbnode2 2: install same os as dbnode1 3: install same oracle as dbnode1 4: share dbnode2 database between dbnode1 and dbnode2
Now, if hardware fails on dbnode1, can i manually failover and start my database on dbnode2?
I know we can do with RAC and DG,BUT without RAC and DG If not possible..
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.
The installation of CRS is successfull & at end it ask to execute 2 scripts on both nodes i.e. orainstRoot.sh and root.sh
When the scripts are executed,the execution of orainstRoot.sh is successfull , but root.sh give following error:
[root@rac2host crs]# ./root.sh WARNING: directory '/home/oracle/product' is not owned by root WARNING: directory 'home/oracle' is not owned by root Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured /etc/oracle does not exist. Creating it now.

Is this concerned with permissions on OCR, Voting Disk.
Along with existing RMAN backups we do Exports - of our DB using and OS User and Oracle Wallet.Of the DB's we have upgraded the Data Pump Directory
Select * from dba_directories; (there are other commands to get this info as well).
I captured screens from the DBUA upgrades, but did not see an option to change this information.Is there a way to feed this information to the install moving forward. IE, ./DBUA -silent ?
Also, anyone tracked the percentage of storage increase from 10.2/11.1 to 11.2.
We are planning to upgrade our database from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi to Oracle Standard Edition 11g . We also have oracle apex installed on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi database with oracle apex 3.1
No our plan to upgrade the database and oracle apex to 4.2. Since Oracle Enterprise Edition is licensing is very expensive we though of buying standard edition and upgrade to this version.
can we upgrade the oracle database from enterprise edition to latest standard edition?
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 need to upgrade database from 9.2.0.6.0 to 11.1.0.7.0 . But 11.1.0.7.0 database is not available for download in oracle downloads. How do i download 11.1.0.7.0 and bring the links for upgrading process.
I am trying to upgrade the oracle 9.2.0.8 database in oracle 11.2.0.2. I have installed the new oracle home for 11g and after running the pre-upgrade script and setting the all environment variable like oracle base, oracle home, oracle sid and ora_nls
i am running the dbua but after click on finish button it's do the processing of 2% but after that i get ------------------------------------------------- ORA-12709 error while loading create database character set --------------------------------------------------
We have to configure Dataguard for our 24x7 critical banking 2 Node RAC database(10.2.0.4). Before proceeding with the configuration we have to make sure what steps we should follow to have minimum or no downtime.
1) Document covering DG setup in RAC environment. 2) We have to perform switchover as well so need its steps too. Either the normal switchover steps would be used or have to stop/start rac services as well.
find reference note IDs for DB upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3.2, as I am finding only Exadata which I don't want but I want to find for Ebiz database, on OS - Solaris 10 9/10 s10s_u9wos_14a SPARC.
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.)
Trying to upgrade APEX within an Oracle XE database installation on Windows 7. The version of APEX that came with Oracle XE is 4.0.2. Trying to upgrade to 4.1.1 and, from the SQL*Plus command-line (ie. the 'Run SQL Command' tool which comes with Oracle XE), I try to run @apexins.sql.
It starts to run momentarily, then the MS-DOS windows just closes. Can not find any install log to determine the cause.
i have done oracle data guard between two databases (database A is the primary) and (database B is the standby), and it was working fine for two weeks, then the network admin did some changes on the firewall on standby side, which made the primary database can not write on standby redo log , so archives was generated on primary and do not generated on standby by, now we solve the firewall probelm and new archives generated on primary is generated on atandby too, but now i have a gap in archives on standby database and standby database now is not synchronized with primary database, and data changes happen on primary is not reflected on standby, also archives that were generated on primary and did not generated on standby during the problem time is not registered in V$ARCHIVED_LOG neither on primary database nor on standby database
my customer wants to create a standby database for his production database (Oracle Standard Edition 11g R2 @ Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit). Now any proof-of-concept which explains shortly the concept and how to achieve it.
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 going to upgrade database from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3
1) If compatible is set to 10.2.0 in 11.2.0.3, will it work ? 2) If compatible set to maximum level, will it affect our application ? 3) Whether any code related problem occurred after upgrading like PL/SQL codes ?
After many tries of upgrade'ing oracle I decided to make backup of my database and then remove 11.2.0.1 and install 11.2.0.3 to recover db. Unfortunately I am not sure how should I perform restoration.I backed up data by calling RMAN> backup database include current controlfile;
After that I moved files from fast_recovery_area and cleared my machine from current oracle release.I also did a copy of directories:
If flashback is enable in physical standby database 1. If we failover at 11AM can I flash back NEW primary database to 6 AM ? 2. if I convert physically standby database to snapshot standby database at 11AM , Can I flashback snapshot standby database to 6 AM and do some works on it (DML operations) then converting the snapshot standby database into physical standby database ?
I am trying to come up with a plan for an upgrade that is needed for a server I maintain. It is a Windows 2003 32bit running Oracle 10.2.0.3 on old Hardware. It also has two obscure 3rd party applications that are running on it that directly access the database. These applications are supported by off site consultants.
My initial plan was to Create a Windows 2008 R2 Virtual Server and install the same version of Oracle 10.2.0.3. Using Rman clone the database to the new server. Have the consultants come in and get the applications working. Once everything in the new environment seems to be working fine, run RMAN again and reclone the database to have all the latest data. Then at a later time upgrade the database to 11g 32bit. Virtually no downtime and we could spend all the time we needed getting the applications working and testing the new environment.
The plan is dead right of the bat though because I realize 10.2.0.3 is not supported by Windows 2008 R2. I really did not want to add an Oracle DB upgrade into the mix at the same time. Just because their are so many changes from the old environment to the new that I want to break this down into manageable chunks. And I can maybe get by with 1 day of down time.
So now I am looking at installing 11g on my Virtual Server, Clone the database, upgrade the database, have the consultants come in and get the applications working. All the while we are down. If we run into any problems, which you always do, it just completely blows the schedule.
creating the standby database from Active database using RMAN and getting the below issue after i executed the duplicate command.
Version of Database:11g(11.2.0.1.0) Operating System:Linux 5 Error: RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 12/21/2012 17:26:52 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor [code]....
provide any work arounds to proceed further in creating the standby database.
