Prepare Auxiliary database
#Create Password File for the Auxiliary Instance
$orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwMYSID password=xxxx entries=5
#Create a static listener (single-instance)
LISTENER=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserverip)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /oracle_home_path)
(SID_NAME = MYSID)
))
#Create necessary folders and prepare paths for new database:
ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME\adump
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME\dpdump
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME\hdump
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME\pfile
ORACLE_BASE\DBNAME\scripts
Normally documents say that you need to create a pfile including only db_name parameter at Auxiliary site. Then you can start instance with nomount mode and Auxiliary configuration is done. However, at later steps you may have troupble with rman dublicate command including SPFILE configuration parameters (like me):
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
FOR STANDBY
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
SPFILE
....
SET "db_unique_name"="..."
SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST "+ASMDISK";
An other choice, you can manually create Auxiliary spfile and set all spfile parameters here instead of rman duplicate command. Later we will use only command to create standby....
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
FOR STANDBY
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
Here is my previously created pfile at Auxiliary database:
MYDBNAME.__db_cache_size=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__java_pool_size=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__large_pool_size=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__oracle_base='/oracle_base_path'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
MYDBNAME.__pga_aggregate_target=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__sga_target=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__shared_io_pool_size=0
MYDBNAME.__shared_pool_size=XXXXXXXX
MYDBNAME.__streams_pool_size=XXXXXXXX
*.audit_file_dest='/adump_path'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.compatible='11.2.0.0.0'
*.control_files='/db_ctrl_path/ctrl1.ctl','/db_ctrl_path/ctrl2.ctl'
*.db_block_size=XXXXXXXX
*.db_create_file_dest='+ASMDISK'
*.db_domain=''
*.db_file_multiblock_read_count=XXXXXXXX
*.db_name='MYDBNAME'
*.db_recovery_file_dest='+ASMRECODISK'
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=XXXXXXXX
*.db_unique_name='MYDBNAME'
*.diagnostic_dest='/oracle_base_path'
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=MYDBNAME2XDB)'
*.memory_max_target=XXXXXXXX
*.memory_target=XXXXXXXX
*.open_cursors=XXXXXXXX
*.processes=XXXXXXXX
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.result_cache_max_size=XXXXXXXX
*.service_names='MYDBNAME',...
*.sessions=XXXXXXXX
*.sort_area_size=XXXXXXXX
*.undo_retention=XXXXXXXX
*.undo_tablespace='MYUNDOTS'
Note: I dont suggest using "db_file_name_convert" or "log_file_name_convert" parameters. If you use them both with db_create_file_dest parameter, then datafiles and logfiles are created at paths "{db_create_file_dest}/{db_unique_name}/DATAFILE", "{db_create_file_dest}/{db_unique_name}/ONLINELOG" and aliases are created at paths "{db_file_name_convert}", "{log_file_name_convert}".
Note: Because db_unique_name is used as a template parameter for asm paths, chose it wisely. Then It will be difficult to move them and rename in controlfile. I suggest use DBNAME as unique name. However both primary and standby can not have same db_unique_name so decide what to set which. If you decide to change db_unique_name of the primary, it resuires restart...
When your pfile is ready, first startup instance with nomount option using this pfile and then create spfile. Then shutdown, startup again with nomount option, this time using spfile.
Prepare Source database and run RMAN DUPLICATE
Before beginning duplication, force database logging:
ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
You need to configure sql net connections for both source and auxiliary databases. Here is the tnsnames.ora:
MYDBNAMEPROD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MYSID))
))
MYDBNAMESTBY =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = stbyhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SID = MYSID))
)
You should be able to connect both instance with sys as sysdba through sql.net:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect SYS@MYDBNAMEPROD as sysdba
SQL> connect SYS@MYDBNAMESTBY as sysdba
If you could not connect, you should correct this before proceeding.
Now connect rman and start duplicate:
$rman
RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS@MYDBNAMEPROD
target database Password:
connected to target database: MYDBNAME (DBID=XXXXXX)
RMAN> CONNECT AUXILIARY SYS@MYDBNAMESTBY
auxiliary database Password:
connected to auxiliary database: MYDBNAME (not mounted)
RMAN> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
2> FOR STANDBY
3> FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
4> ;
....
Note: If datafiles are created with aliases and you decide to remove aliases, dont use "rm" command of asmcmd. It will remove both alias and file itself. Instead, use "rmalias". I removed a file accidently by removing alias with rm command and could not find a way to get that single datafile from source directly into auxillary asm. If you have a filesystem drive at auxillary big enough to hold that datafile, then there seems a way...
Prepare Dataguard Configuration
Put standby control files into ASM:
First of all, prepare paths for controlfiles. If necessary, create asm directories.
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 2.6724E+10 bytes
Fixed Size 2219408 bytes
Variable Size 1.2885E+10 bytes
Database Buffers 1.3824E+10 bytes
Redo Buffers 12148736 bytes
SQL> exit
$rman target /
RMAN> restore controlfile to '+ASMDISK' from '/db_ctrl_path/ctrl1.ctl';
RMAN> restore controlfile to '+ASMRECODISK' from '/db_ctrl_path/ctrl2.ctl';
Check that new control files are created at paths:
+ASMDISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE
+ASMRECODISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE
Go to asm and find out newly created control files:
+ASMDISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE/current.XXX.XXXXXXXXX
+ASMRECODISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE/current.XXX.XXXXXXXXX
Then update control_files and mount database:
sqlplus '/ AS SYSDBA'
SQL> alter system set control_files='+ASMDISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE/current.XXX.XXXXXXXXX',
'+ASMRECODISK/MYDBNAME/CONTROLFILE/current.XXX.XXXXXXXXX' scope=spfile;
SQL> startup mount
Follow this procedure to setup dataguard:
http://erkanorclog.blogspot.com/2008/03/setting-up-dataguard-configuration-for.html
Configure dynamic (local) listener:
You may want to register standby with local listener :
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=mystbyhost)(PORT=1521))))' scope=both;
Check and see if local listener registration is ok. Change "MYDBNAMESTBY" tns at primary side to use this new listener configuration. If it is ok and you see dataguard is working fine then you can unset static listener configuration created previously.
