ORA-16191 PING[ARC2]: Heartbeat failed to connect to standby

  今天是2014-04-03。随记一下今天遇到的一个问题吧。

环境介绍：

问题描述：

在duplicate 数据库后再启动standby 数据库的实时应用时出现在RAC1可以正常连接 standby,但RAC2无法连接，如下错误：

问题排查：

检查remote_loging_passwordfile参数设置皆为EXCLUSIVE。其他参数没有任何可疑问题。

问题解决：

既然日志中提示认证出现问题，且只有一个节点可以连接到standby database，那么将该节点的密码文件传到节点RAC2。最终问题得到解决：
