PRESENTOR:- KAMRAN SIDDIQUE SENIOR CONSULTANT/ARCHITECT (HA EXPERT) CGI DON’T WAIT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE TECHNOLOGY…USE TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE OPPORTUNITY BASIC CONCEPTS Basic Steps for Creating a Physical Standby database MY TRICKS.. REFERENCES QUESTIONS A software An extension to Oracle RDBMS Protects DATA Takes data and automatically puts it elsewhere. Makes DATA available for Failover. Maintain larger Distances. Automatic resync with Production database. High availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data. Transactionally consistent copy of the primary database. Using a backup copy of the primary database. Up to 30 Standby Databases and integrations with DG . Once created, Data Guard automatically maintains each standby database by transmitting redo data from the primary database and then applying the redo to the standby database. Can be a SINGLE-INSTANCE OR RAC. DG configuration contains one Production database Functions as Primary Role. Mainly accessed by Production applications. Can be a Single-instance or RAC 1-PHYSICAL STANDBY A physical standby database is kept in sync with the primary database by using media recovery to apply redo that was generated on the primary database. A block-for-block identical copy of the primary database. Excellent choice for disaster recovery. Data will be intact and consistent with data that existed on the primary. Can receive and apply redo in read only-access (11.1.0). 2-LOGICAL STANDBY DATABASE Contains the same logical information as the production database but physical organization and structure of the DATA can be different. synchronization with the primary database through SQL Apply. Transforms the data in the redo received from the primary database into SQL statements and then executes the SQL statements on the standby database. Can be used for Reporting. Upgrade/Migration purpose with no downtime. Patch sets with no downtime. A fully updatable standby database. Receives and archives redo data from a primary database (like physical/logical) Does not apply the redo data that it receives (Differs from physical/logical) Redo apply starts once standby is converted into physical standby. Temporary/updatable snapshot of a physical standby. Conversion to physical standby could be a lengthy process. Database Version = 10.2.0.4 Enterprise 64-bit Primary platform = Linux 64-bit) Secondary platform= Linux 32-bit) You can not use DG Broker tool to manage this environment. This restriction is lifted from Data Guard 11g onward. one production database and one or more standby databases connected by Oracle Net may be dispersed geographically No restriction on the distance. SQL command-line Data Guard Broker interface (DGMGRL) GUI interface integrated with EM. A distributed management framework that automates the creation, maintenance, and monitoring of Data Guard configurations. Oracle Enterprise Manager graphical user interface (GUI) or the Data Guard command-line interface (DGMGRL) Create and enable Data Guard configurations Manage an entire Data Guard configuration from any system in the configuration Manage and monitor Data Guard configurations that contain Oracle RAC primary or standby databases Simplify switchovers and failovers Enable fast-start failover to fail over automatically when the primary database becomes unavailable. 1-Redo Transport Services Transmit redo data from the primary system to the standby systems . Resolving any gaps in the archived redo log files due to a network failure. Automatically detects missing or corrupted archived redo log files on a standby system . Automatically retrieve replacement archived redo log files from the primary database or another standby database 2-Apply Services Automatically apply the redo data on the standby database to maintain consistency with the primary database. Allows read-only access to the data Physical standby---Data Guard uses Redo Apply technology. Physical standby-- applies redo data on the standby database using standard recovery techniques of an Oracle database. Logical Standby--Data Guard uses SQL Apply technology first transforms the received redo data into SQL statements Then executes the generated SQL statements on the logical standby database 3-Role Transitions Switchover --role reversal between the primary database and one of its standby databases. Switchover –No Data Loss Failover --failure of the primary database Failover --transition of a standby database to the primary role Failover –Can configure Data Guard to ensure no data loss. Both primary and standby databases must be set at the same compatibility mode as the minimum release A standby database cannot be open readonly in any environment that has binarylevel PL/SQL-related incompatibilities between primary and standby databases 1-Maximum Protection Redo data needed to recover a transaction must be written to both the online redo log and to the standby redo log on at least one synchronized standby database before the transaction commit Zero Data Loss Processing on primary is suspended if no standby is available. 2-Maximum Availability Minimal Data Loss Similar to Maximum protection mode If not standby database ,primary operates as if it were in maximum performance mode to preserve primary database availability until it is again able to write its redo stream to a synchronized standby database. 3-Maximum Performance Default protection mode. Highest level of data protection that is possible without affecting the performance of a primary database Asynchronous in terms of transaction commitment. primary database performance is unaffected by delays in writing redo data to the standby database(s). Symmetric configuration with RAC at all sites Same number of instances Asymmetric configuration with RAC at all sites Different number of instances Asymmetric configuration with mixture of RAC and single instance Some single-instance sites not running under Oracle Clusterware Metalink note 413484.1 Beginning with Oracle Database 11.1.0.7, a physical standby database can be used to execute a rolling database upgrade to a new Oracle Patch Set or database release by using the transient logical rolling database upgrade process Basic Steps for Creating a Physical Standby database Two Vmwares (2.6.32-100.26.2.el5) 11.2.0.3.0 Primary ASM Secondary ASM Primary Database Name => Primary Primary DB_UNIQUE_NAME => Primary Standby DB_UNUIQUE_NAME =>Secondary Primary Hostname =>primary.localdomain Secondary Hostname => secondary.localdomain Enable Force Logging SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING; Database altered.

That is, one more standby redo log file for each thread. Start managed recovery on the standby database: SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT; Create standby redo logs on the primary database to support the standby role SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE THREAD 1 GROUP 5 SIZE 10M, GROUP 6 SIZE 10M, GROUP 7 SIZE 10M; SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE THREAD 2 GROUP 8 SIZE 10M, GROUP 9 SIZE 10M, GROUP 10 SIZE 10M; Data Guard configuration includes a primary database and up to 30 standby databases. These standby databases may be a mix of physical and logical standby databases. To start log apply services on a physical standby database ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT; If the real-time apply feature is enabled, apply services can apply redo data as it is received, without waiting for the current standby redo log file to be archived ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE; DGMGRL> show configuration; Configuration - DRSOLUTION Protection Mode: MaxPerformance Databases: PRIMARY - Primary database SECONDARY - Physical standby database Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS It is not necessary that the primary and the standby both be Oracle RAC databases, or both use ASM. For example, the primary database may be running Oracle RAC with or without ASM, and the standby database(s) may be single-instance, with or without ASM. Furthermore, the versions of ASM and CRS do not need to be the same between the primary and standby systems. Exadata Database Machine: It is transparent to Data Guard whether primary and/or standby databases reside on an Exadata Database Machine or on other hardware, as long as the platform ID's of primary and standby systems within the same Data Guard configuration conform to the support requirements. If Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression (EHCC) is used, it is strongly recommended that both primary and standby databases reside on Exadata.
