Oracle DataGuard Step by Step Installation with RMAN Duplicate Method -2

Hi,

I will continue to tell you Oracle dataguard configuration and installation in this article.

Read first article before this.

Oracle DataGuard Step by Step Installation with RMAN Duplicate Method -1

 

6- There are tns addresses of the primary and standby databases in the each database’s tnsnames.ora file, and tnsping should work.

Tnsnames.ora file is located on the linux servers under the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. Content of tnsnames.ora file is like following in my example.

 

DEVECI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.10)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = DEVECI))
)



DEVECIDG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.11)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = DEVECIDG))
)

 

 

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ tnsping DEVECIDG
[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ tnsping DEVECI

 

7- The password file of the primary database is copied to the standby side with the name of standby like following.

 

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ scp orapwDEVECI [email protected]:/oracle/product/12.1.0/db/dbs/orapwDEVECIDG

 

8- Create a folder named adump manually in the standby database. If the database cannot see this file at startup, it gives an error.

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/adump

 

9- Create a pfile for the Standby database on the Standby server and try to start non-existent database in nomount mode. In the next steps we will duplicate database from Primary.

 

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ vi initDEVECIDG.ora

 

In this step, You can startup oracle database with following 3 parameters in the pfile and add the remaining parameters while executing rman duplicate. I added the following 3 parameters to the pfile and open the Oracle Instance with the nomount mode as follows.

 

*.DB_NAME=DEVECI
*.DB_UNIQUE_NAME=DEVECIDG
*.DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192

 

After setting bash profile through the server, we are starting Oracle Instance in nomount mode.

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

10- Finally we start the duplicate with the RMAN tool from Primary database as follows.

[oracle@MehmetSalih ~]$ rman target sys/sys@DEVECI auxiliary sys/sys@DEVECIDG

 

After connecting both sides’ RMAN tool, start duplicate with the following script.

 

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 'DEVECI','DEVECIDG'
set db_unique_name='DEVECIDG'
set db_file_name_convert='/oracle/DATA/DEVECI/DEVECI','/oracle/DATA/DEVECIDG/DEVECIDG'
set log_file_name_convert='/oracle/DATA/DEVECI/DEVECI','/oracle/DATA/DEVECIDG/DEVECIDG'
set control_files='/oracle/DATA/DEVECIDG/DEVECIDG/control01.ctl'
set log_archive_max_processes='5'
set fal_client='DEVECIDG'
set fal_server='DEVECI'
set standby_file_management='AUTO'
set log_archive_config='dg_config=(DEVECI,DEVECIDG)'
set log_archive_dest_2='service=DEVECI ASYNC valid_for=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=DEVECI';
}

 

The above RMAN Duplicate script will generate too much output, so if you want, you can print it into a log file and review each step. In terms of your comparison, I give the output of the last part below, and if the output is not in this way, you probably have made an error or deficiency.

After duplicate,  connect to the Standby database and start the process of the MRP (Managed Recovery Process) and start applying of Redologs to the standby like following.

After starting MRP process, we can start monitoring of dataguard like following.
