Data Guard Broker Configuration

Today I decided to use Oracle`s magic dgmgrl utility and configure my standby database.

Below you can see my environment:

PRIMARY

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

STATUS     INSTANCE_NAME    DATABASE_ROLE    PROTECTION_MODE
------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------------
OPEN     FCDBPROD      PRIMARY       MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;

MAX(SEQUENCE#)
--------------
  674

SQL> 


STANBDY

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

STATUS     INSTANCE_NAME    DATABASE_ROLE    PROTECTION_MODE
------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------------
MOUNTED      FCDBSTND      PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;

MAX(SEQUENCE#)
--------------
  674

SQL> 

Now, set dataguard broker process on both primary and standby databases.

SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start=true;

System altered.

SQL> 


Add a below lines in the listener.ora file on both the primary and standby servers.


On Primary:

   (SID_DESC=
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=FCDBPROD_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
      (SID_NAME=FCDBPROD)
   )

On Standby

   (SID_DESC=
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=FCDBSTND_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
      (SID_NAME=FCDBSTND)
   )

[oracle@fcdbdb admin]$ vi listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.10.178)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
 (SID_LIST =
   (SID_DESC=
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=FCDBPROD_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
      (SID_NAME=FCDBPROD)
   )
   (SID_DESC =
     (SID_NAME = FCDBPROD)
     (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
   )
 )

ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle

ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER = ON





[oracle@fcdbdb_stby admin]$ vi listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.10.179)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
 (SID_LIST =
   (SID_DESC=
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=FCDBSTND_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
      (SID_NAME=FCDBSTND)
   )
   (SID_DESC =
     (SID_NAME = FCDBSTND)
     (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
   )
 )

ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle

ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER = ON
[oracle@fcdbdb_stby admin]$ 



Or, instead of you may add

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
 (SID_LIST =
   (SID_DESC =
     (SID_NAME = FCDBPROD)
     (GLOBAL_DBNAME=FCDBPROD_DGMGRL)
     (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1)
   )
 )


reload listener on both side

[oracle@fcdbdb_stby admin]$ lsnrctl reload




On the primary server, create the Dataguard Broker configuration.

    Although it has actually not been the case in the last one week, crypto has traditionally been the very best bush for typical markets. Its lack of correlation with the supplies, in particular, has been made sure that crypto is a must-have during their failures. This week has seen this trend change. As traditional markets plunged, the crypto market complied with the very same trend. Auto bitcoin bot

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;
