CREATE STANDBY DATABASE USING RMAN

1. Check Primary database parameters: SQL> alter database FORCE LOGGING; Database altered.

SQL> select FORCE_LOGGING from v$database; FOR --YES SQL> alter system set fal_client='eabprd1'; System altered.

SQL> alter system set fal_server='sb_eabprd1'; System altered.

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_2='service=sb_eabprd1 optional reopen=15'; System altered.

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2='defer'; System altered.

SQL> alter system set standby_archive_dest='/eabprd104/oradata/eabprd1/arch';

System altered.

SQL> alter system set standby_file_management='auto'; System altered.

2. Run backup standby controlfile at Primary to use for Standby

$ setsid eabprd1 $ rman target / catalog rman/rman@eabprd1 RMAN> run { allocate channel c1 type disk; backup current controlfile for standby format '/datadomain/prod/eabprd1/%U'; }

3. Copy init file and password file from Primary database to Standby server.
scp initeabprd1.ora oracle@rohan:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db/dbs/. scp orapweabprd1 oracle@rohan:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db/dbs/.

4. Create similar directory structure as Primary database server (Hawaii) on Standby Server (Rohan). Add instance name to /etc/oratab file. $ cat /etc/oratab
eabprd1:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db:N $ setsid eabprd1

5. Modify init file on Standby if directory structure is different than Primary. If directory structure is similar then ignore db_file_name_covert and log_file_name_convert parameters.

*.db_file_name_convert='/eabprd1-01/','/u02/','/eabprd102/','/u03/','/eabprd1-03','/u04/','/eabprd1-04','/u04/' *.log_file_name_convert='/eabprd1-04/','/u04/' *.fal_client='sb_eabprd1' *.fal_server='eabprd1' *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u04/oradata/eabprd1/arch' *.log_archive_dest_2='service=eabprd1 optional reopen=15' *.log_archive_dest_state_1='enable' *.log_archive_dest_state_2='defer' *.standby_archive_dest='/u04/oradata/eabprd1/arch' *.standby_file_management='auto'

6. Create spfile from pfile on Standby database and startup in nomount stage. idle> create spfile from pfile='?/dbs/initeabprd1.ora'; File created. idle> startup nomount ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area 1610612736 bytes Fixed Size Variable Size Database Buffers Redo Buffers 2084296 bytes 570425912 bytes 1023410176 bytes 14692352 bytes

7. Create and copy TNS entry for Standby to Primary database and copy TNS Entry for Primary database to Standby database server.

Primary: EABPRD1 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.60.99.1)(PORT = 42516)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.60.99.1)(PORT = 42517)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.60.99.1)(PORT = 42518)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.60.99.1)(PORT = 42519)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.60.99.1)(PORT = 42520)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = eabprd1) ) )

Standby:

SB_EABPRD1 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.170.1.19)(PORT = 42516)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.170.1.19)(PORT = 42517)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.170.1.19)(PORT = 42518)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.170.1.19)(PORT = 42519)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.170.1.19)(PORT = 42520)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = eabprd1) ) )

8. Login to Primary database and create standby controlfile oracle@hawaii[/eabprd1-04/oradata/eabprd1/arch] rman target / catalog rman/rman@eabprd1

9. Login to Standby (auxiliary) , target and catalog from Standby server and run following script: If directory structure is same on Primary and Standby database server then use following script:

create_standby.rcv run { set until scn 5933075; duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck dorecover; }

If directory structure is different then use following script: create_standby.rcv run { set until scn 5933075; duplicate target database for standby dorecover; }

10. Once duplicate database becomes successful then turn on the Managed Recover Process (MRP) on standby database. Standby Database: oracle@rohan[/u01/app/oracle] sqlplus '/ as sysdba'

11. Enable log_archive_dest_state_2 on Primary database and switch archive logs couple of times.

Make sure to add this database to database of databases.

Follow these steps: Update Ticket. Update database of databases (gbyeas) tables. (databases, machines,user_codes etc.). Update tnsnames.ora file on Ganesha server. Make sure cronjobs are running.
