Changing archivelog destination in STANBY side

If you did not set log_archive_dest_* or db_recovery_file_dest in stanby database`s parameter file during creation of stanbdy, primary`s archivelogs will be transferred to default location of standby database.
This is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (in linux/unix).

SQL> select status,instance_name,database_role from v$database,v$instance;

STATUS     INSTANCE_NAME    DATABASE_ROLE
------------ ---------------- ----------------
OPEN     STND      PHYSICAL STANDBY

Disconnect recovery managed

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

Database altered.

Check current location of archivelogs

[oracle@fcdbdb_stby trace]$ ls -lrt /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/dbs/

Check db_recovery_file_desc`s value

SQL> show parameters db_rec

NAME     TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest     string
db_recovery_file_dest_size     big integer 4122M
db_recycle_cache_size     big integer 0

Set db_recovery_file_dest

SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area' scope=both;

System altered.


Connect recovery managed

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

Database altered.


On Primary side enforce archivelog

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

System altered.

And check in Standby side :

[oracle@fcdbdb_stby trace]$ ls -lrt /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/STND/archivelog/2013_12_20/
total 12240
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall    51200 Dec 20 11:40 o1_mf_1_22_9c7x32kp_.arc

As you see, staring 22th archivelog file transferred to new destination.

You can do it using dgmgrl utiliy.

Rman encryption and other techniques

Today I will demonstrate Recovery Manager features, especially encryption and some other techniques. First of all let me note about RMAN backup encryption. Staring from Oracle 10g RMAN now creates encrypted backups that cannot be restored by unauthorized people. There are 3 modes of backup encryption: * Transparent encryption * Password encryption * Dual-mode encryption using either transparent or password encryption All RMAN backups are not encrypted but you can encrypt any RMAN backup in the form of a backup set. In this tutorial I will show you how to configure Password encryption. Let`s finish talking and start to demonstrate. check parameters with "SHOW ALL" command, by default encryption is OFF RMAN> show all; RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTR...

ORA-03206: maximum file size of (5242880) blocks in AUTOEXTEND clause is out of range

Today when I want to change max size of datafile I got strange error. ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/MYDB/users01.dbf' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE 32GB ORA-03206: maximum file size of (5242880) blocks in AUTOEXTEND clause is out of range Here is reason: The maximum file size for an autoextendable file has exceeded the maximum number of blocks allowed. After research internet I found that instead of using 32GB we can use 32767M. (same values but in MB). Or you may use 31GB too. ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/MYDB/users01.dbf' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE 32767M;
