Applies to:

Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 9.0.1.0 to 9.2.0.8
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

Oracle9i Data Guard Broker documentation explains how to set up
a Disaster Recovery Configuration (DRC) by using Oracle Enterprise
Manager (OEM).

This paper is intended to provide the following:

1. a brief overview of Oracle9i Data Guard Broker.

2. instructions on implementing DRC by using a command line utility,
called DGMRGL.

3. an overview of common maintenance operations

4. an example on debugging a typical erroneous situation

The examples are from a Windows environment but are also applicable for UNIX.

Scope and Application

Oracle9i DBA community

Setup and maintenance of Data Guard Broker using DGMGRL

OVERVIEW OF ORACLE9i DATA GUARD BROKER

Oracle9i Data Guard Broker is composed of following components:

[a] A graphical Data Guard Manager utility that supports managing
or monitoring the databases in a DRC. This GUI is part of OEM and
requires an Intelligent Agent (IA). The GUI tool provides a wizard
that can create a standby database with minimum user interaction.

[b] A command line utility, called DGMGRL, that provides similar
functionality (except the wizard) to create standby databases.

[c] One background process, called Data Guard Broker or DMON, per
database in a DRC.

All DMON processes in a DRC communicate with each other and act as
executors of the Data Guard Manager commands. The following dynamic
init.ora parameters should be set to TRUE in order to start the
DMON process:

- DRS_START (Oracle8i, 9.0.1)
- DG_BROKER_START (Oracle 9.2)

Like other background processes, DMON process maintains a log file,
named drc$ORACLE_SID.log, in BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST.

[d] A DRC repository used by all DMON processes. The repository
is made up of following two files:

- UNIX: $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/dr1$ORACLE_SID.dat and
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/dr2$ORACLE_SID.dat
- Windows: %ORACLE_HOME%/DATABASE/DR1%ORACLE_SID%.DAT and
%ORACLE_HOME%/DATABASE/DR2%ORACLE_SID%.DAT

In Oracle 9.2, it is possible to reposition these files via init.ora
parameters DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2.

COMMAND LINE SETUP OF ORACLE DATA GUARD BROKER 9i

2.1. Pre-requisites

In order to use DGMGRL, the following should be done manually:

[a] Create standby databases manually as per Note 180031.1
Creating a Data Guard Configuration.

[b] Use SPFILE instead of PFILE for all databases. This is required
since all necessary init.ora parameters are dynamically changed via
command 'ALTER SYSTEM SET'.

[c] Use remote password files. This is required since DGMGRL needs
to connect remotely as SYSDBA in order to perform certain actions.

[d] Add standby redo logs in case you want to put the DRC in
MaxProtection or MaxAvailability mode.

Create at least one standby redo log on the standby database with
the same size as on the primary database by using the following
command:

ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE
'<Full path of standby redo log file>' SIZE <size>;

[e] Start all databases in a DRC in nomount state. Also, start the
listeners needed for the log archive transport.

[f] Start the DMON process on each database by setting dynamic
init.ora DRS_START (Oracle8i, 9.0.1) or DG_BROKER_START (Oracle9.2)
to TRUE.

2.2. Setup of the DRC configuration

=> Set ORACLE_SID to the primary database and connect via DGMGRL

C:/>dgmgrl
DGMGRL for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.

(c) Copyright 2002 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Welcome to DGMGRL, type "help" for information.
DGMGRL> connect sys/oracle
Connected.

=> Create a new DRC and define a primary site

DGMGRL> create configuration 'V920_DRC' as
> Primary site is 'prim_site'
> Resource is 'prim_db'
> Hostname is 'HOST1'
> Instance name is 'V920'
> Service name is 'R920'
> Site is maintained as physical;
Configuration "V920_DRC" added with primary site "prim_site"
Database resource "prim_db" added.

=> Define one or more standby sites

DGMGRL> create site 'standby_site'
> Resource is 'standby_db'
> Hostname is 'HOST2'
> Instance name is 'V920STBY'
> Service name is 'R920STBY'
> Site is maintained as PHYSICAL;
Site "standby_site" added to configuration.
Database resource "standby_db" added.

NOTE:   The following must be observed when setting up the
        configuration:

        * The Hostname and Instance name values must be the
          same as values displayed in v$instance on the respective
          primary and standby instances.

        * The Service name should be the Net alias defined in the
          tnsnames.ora. This will then be used to configure the
          fal_server, fal_client, and log_archive_dest_n parameters
          and provides the communication path between the primary
          broker and standby broker processes (DMON). This alias
          should exist on both standby and primary tnsnames.ora files.

=> When you remove a standby site, management of the database resource object
associated with that standby site is removed. However, this command does not
remove or affect the actual standby site and database. You cannot remove the
primary site with this command.

DGMGRL> REMOVE SITE 'standby_site2';
Removed site "standby_site2" from configuration.

3. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS IN A DRC

=> Switch the standby database between read-only and recovery mode:

DGMGRL> alter resource 'standby_db' on site 'standby_site'
set state = 'READ-ONLY';
Succeeded.

DGMGRL> alter resource 'standby_db' on site 'standby_site'
set state = 'PHYSICAL-APPLY-ON';
Succeeded.

=> Put the DRC in MaxProtection mode (Oracle9.2 onwards)

DGMGRL> alter resource 'prim_db' set property LogXptMode = 'SYNC';
Property "logxptmode" updated.

DGMGRL> alter resource 'standby_db' set property LogXptMode = 'SYNC';
Property "logxptmode" updated.

DGMGRL> alter configuration set protection mode as 'MaxProtection';
Operation requires restart of site "prim_site"
Shutting down site prim_site...
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Restarting site prim_site...
Started "prim_site" as new primary

=> Graceful switchover from primary to standby (Oracle 9.2 onwards)
(takes around 3 minutes on a laptop)

DGMGRL> switchover to 'standby_site';
Performing switchover NOW. Please wait...
Operation requires restart of site "prim_site"
Operation requires restart of site "standby_site"
Shutting down site prim_site...
database not mounted
ORACLE instance shut down.
Shutting down site standby_site...
database not mounted
ORACLE instance shut down.
Restarting site prim_site...
Restarting site standby_site...
Started "prim_site" as standby
Started "standby_site" as new primary
Switchover succeeded. New primary is "standby_site"
