GOAL

Step by step guide on how to create a physical standby database using RMAN without using duplicate command.

SOLUTION

Below are the steps to accomplish the task :

Step 1: Backup the database that includes backup of datafiles, archivelogs and controlfile for standby

Step 2: Move the backups to the standby server

Step 3: Make proper changes in the parameter files of both primary and standby database

Step 4: Do the restore and recover on standby database

Step 5: Put the standby database in recover managed mode

Example :

=======

Step 1: Backup the primary database that includes backup of datafiles, archivelogs and controlfile for standby

[oracle@test-br ~]$ rman target /

Step 2: Move the backups to the standby server

+ FTP or SCP the backup pieces.

+ If the backups are on NFS mount then mount the NFS on standby server with the same name as you mounted on primary database.

+ Until 9i, you need to move the backup-pieces in exactly the same location on standby as they were created on primary.

+ From 10g onwards, use CATALOG BACKUPPIECE command if you are moving backup-pieces to a different location.

+ If the backups are on tape then make sure that you make proper changes on standby server so that you can restore the backups on standby server.

Step 3: Make proper changes in the parameter files of both primary and standby database

Add the below parameter in primary database parameter file :

log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=STANDBY'

Add the below parameters in standby database parameter file :

Copy the primary database parameter file and make necessary changes :

db_unique_name='standby'

instance_name='standby'

db_file_name_convert='/u01/oracle/product/oradata/ora10g/data/','/u01/oracle/product/ora10g/oradata/standby/data/','/tmp/','/u01/oracle/product/ora10g/oradata/standby/data/'

log_file_name_convert='/u01/oracle/product/oradata/ora10g/log/','/u01/oracle/product/ora10g/oradata/standby/log'

standby_archive_dest='/u01/oracle/product/ora10g/oradata/standby/arch1'

Comment:

---------

# This convert parameters are only active for RMAN DUPLICATE , but are NOT active for RMAN RESTORE operation

#

db_file_name_convert=

log_file_name_convert=

o Exception:

If "STANDBY CONTROLFILE" is used/restored o like use option 'standby controlfile'

RMAN> RESTORE STANDBY CONTROLFILE from ...

else convert parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT is NOT used.

o After STANDBY CONTROLFILE is restored, you can mount the AUX Instance and verify DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT

parameter is used and show correct datafile path/name using for example:

RMAN> REPORT SCHEMA ; ( or sql> select name from v$datafile ; )

Note : In 8i and 9i in-place of db_unique_name='standby' you have to use lock_name_space='standby'

Step 4: Do the restore and recover on standby database

Note : After the restore try to identify the last archivelog sequence that is backed up and add 1 to it and do the recovery using it. In the below example the last archivelog that is backed up is sequence 36 and we added 1 to it that becomes 37 and we recovered till sequence 37.

[oracle@test-br ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=standby

[oracle@test-br ~]$ rman target /

ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup

ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oracle/product/ora10g/oradata/standby/data/sys01.dbf'

Step 5: Put the standby database in recover managed mode

After ensuring connectivity from primary to standby using the service specified in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 parameter of primary and creating a password file on standby with the same sys password as primary, we can start managed recovery on standby.
