Don’t go directly to Maximum Protection!

Veröffentlicht von Uwe Hesse in TOI am August 25, 2014

With a Data Guard Configuration in Maximum Performance protection mode, don’t go to Maximum Protection directly, because that leads to a restart of the primary database:

 Attention!

DGMGRL> show configuration;

Configuration - myconf

  Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
  Databases:
  prima  - Primary database
    physt  - Physical standby database
      physt2 - Physical standby database (receiving current redo)

Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED

Configuration Status:
SUCCESS

DGMGRL> edit configuration set protection mode as maxprotection;
Operation requires shutdown of instance "prima" on database "prima"
Shutting down instance "prima"...
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Operation requires startup of instance "prima" on database "prima"
Starting instance "prima"...
ORACLE instance started.
Database mounted.
Database opened.

Instead, go to Maximum Availability first and then to Maximum Protection:

DGMGRL> edit configuration set protection mode as maxperformance;
Succeeded.
DGMGRL> edit configuration set protection mode as maxavailability;
Succeeded.
DGMGRL> edit configuration set protection mode as maxprotection;
Succeeded.

The demo was done with 12c, involving a cascading standby database, but the behavior is the same in 11g already. The odd thing about it is that DGMGRL will restart the primary without warning. Wanted to share that with the Oracle community for years but always got over it somehow.

Restore datafile from service: A cool #Oracle 12c Feature

Veröffentlicht von Uwe Hesse in TOI am Juli 2, 2014

You can restore a datafile directly from a physical standby database to the primary. Over the network. With compressed backupsets. How cool is that?

Here’s a demo from my present class Oracle Database 12c: Data Guard Administration. prima is the primary database on host01, physt is a physical standby database on host03. There is an Oracle Net configuration on both hosts that enable host01 to tnsping physt and host03 to tnsping prima

 

[oracle@host01 ~]$ rman target sys/oracle@prima

connected to target database: PRIMA (DBID=2084081935)

RMAN> run
{
set newname for datafile 4 to '/home/oracle/stage/users01.dbf';
restore (datafile 4 from service physt) using compressed backupset;
catalog datafilecopy '/home/oracle/stage/users01.dbf';
}

executing command: SET NEWNAME

Starting restore at 02-JUL-14
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: using compressed network backup set from service physt
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring datafile 00004 to /home/oracle/stage/users01.dbf
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:00:07
Finished restore at 02-JUL-14

cataloged datafile copy
datafile copy file name=/home/oracle/stage/users01.dbf RECID=8 STAMP=851877850

This does not require backups taken on the physical standby database.
