Step by step guide on
how to create a physical standby database using RMAN DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE
DATABASE command without shutting down the primary and using primary active
database files (No need to take a backup)
This is feature
available in Oracle11g onwards.
In case you may want
or need more about your current topic - please also access the Backup
& Recover Community of Customers and Oracle Specialists directly
via:
Database Name :- chicago
Primary db_unique_name :- chicago
standby db_unique_name :- Boston
For duplicating a NON-Standby database, see :
Note 452868.1 RMAN 'Duplicate From Active Database' Feature in 11G
1. Make the necessary
changes to the primary database.
a. Enable force logging.
b. Creating the password file if one does not exist.
c. Create standby redologs.
d. Modify the parameter file suitable for Dataguard.
2. Ensure that the
sql*net connectivity is working fine.
3. Create the standby
database over the network using the active(primary) database files.
a. Create the password file
b. Create the initialization parameter file for the
standby database (auxiliary database)
c. Create the necessary mount points or the folders for
the database files
d. Run the standby creation ON STANDBY by connecting to
primary as target database.

4. Check the log
shipping and apply.
PROCEDURE:
While creating the
standby database we use the active database files i.e., this command will be
useful in creating the physical standby database using active database files
over the network.
1. Prepare the production database to be the
primary database
a. Ensure that the
database is in archivelog mode .
SQL> select log_mode from v$database;
LOG_MODE
------------
ARCHIVELOG
b. Enable force logging
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
c. Create standby redologs
SQL> alter database add standby logfile
'' size ;
d. Modify the primary initialization parameter for dataguard on primary,
SQL> alter system set
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(chicago,boston)';
System altered.
SQL> alter system set
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/databases/chicago/redo/
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=chicago';
System altered.
SQL> alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=boston LGWR ASYNC
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=boston';
System altered.
SQL> alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1=ENABLE;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set FAL_SERVER=boston;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set FAL_CLIENT=chicago;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u01/app/oracle/databases/boston/data/','/u01/app/oracle/databases/chicago/data'
scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u01/app/oracle/databases/boston/redo/','/u01/app/oracle/databases/chicago/redo'
scope=spfile;
System altered.
2. Ensure that the sql*net connectivity is
working fine.
Insert a static entry for Boston in the
listener.ora file of the standby system.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = boston.us.oracle.com)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/OraHome111)
(SID_NAME = boston)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = )(PORT = 1521))
)
TNSNAMES.ORA for the Primary and Standby
should have BOTH entries
CHICAGO =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = chicago.us.oracle.com))
)
BOSTON =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = boston.us.oracle.com))
)
Check with the SQL*Net configuration using the
following commands on the Primary AND Standby
% tnsping chicago
% tnsping boston
3. Create the standby database
a. Copy the password
file from the primary $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database
name.
The username is required to be SYS and the
password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby
site, not the DB_NAME.
b. Create a
initialization parameter with only one parameter DB_NAME.
DB_NAME=chicago
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=boston
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=
c. Create the
necessary directories in the standby location to place database files and
trace files ($ADR_HOME).
d. Set the environment variable ORACLE_SID to the standby service and start
the standby-instance.
% export ORACLE_SID=boston
% sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initcore1.ora
NOTE : Use either
PFILE or SPFILE
# Addtl. comment
# If DUPLICATE without TARGET connection is used you cannot use SPFILE
# else getting
RMAN-05537: DUPLICATE without TARGET connection when auxiliary instance is
started with spfile cannot use SPFILE clause
e. Verify if the connection 'AS SYSDBA' is working
% sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect sys/
SQL> connect sys/@chicago AS SYSDBA
f. On the primary system invoke the RMAN executable and connect to the
primary and the auxiliary database ( i.e., the standby)
$ rman target
sys/sys@chicago auxiliary sys/sys@boston
connected to target database: CHICAGO (DBID=761464750)
connected to auxiliary database: CHICAGO (not mounted)
RMAN> run {
allocate channel prmy1 type disk;
allocate channel prmy2 type disk;
allocate channel prmy3 type disk;
allocate channel prmy4 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel stby type disk;
duplicate target database for standby from active database
spfile
parameter_value_convert 'chicago','boston'
set db_unique_name='boston'
set db_file_name_convert='/chicago/','/boston/'
set log_file_name_convert='/chicago/','/boston/'
set control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/control01.ctl'
set log_archive_max_processes='5'

set log_archive_config='dg_config=(chicago,boston)'
set log_archive_dest_2='service=chicago ASYNC

;
}

4. Start managed recovery
Connect to standby
using SQL*Plus and start the MRP (Managed Recovery Process). Compare the
primary last sequence and MRP (Managed Recovery Process) applying sequence.
Example :
SQL> alter database
recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
5. Open standby database in Read Only
(active dataguard)
If you are licensed to
use Active Dataguard (ADG) than open the Standby Database in READ ONLY and
start the recovery.
SQL> alter database
recover managed standby database cancel;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
