Configuring Data Guard in Heterogeneous Environment

With the release of Oracle database 11g, the primary and standby database in Data Guard
configuration can be created in cross-platform environment. They can have different operating
systems, os binaries (32/64 bit), oracle binaries (32/64 bit) and different CPU architecture.
Following is the step-by-step approach to create cross-plateform (AIX-Linux) DG configuration.
Environment:

The following table is the summary of Hardware, OS and Database configuration used:

STEP 1. Check if database is in ARCHIVELOG mode.
Since data guard is dependent on redo data to maintain standby database, the first step to make sure is
you are running database in Archive Log mode
If database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, use the following step to bring it in ARCHIVELOG mode.

SQL> archive log list


Database log mode

Archive Mode

Automatic archival

Enabled

Archive destination

/u02/orcl/archive/

Oldest online log sequence

Next log sequence to archive 5


Current log sequence

STEP 2. Enable FORCE LOGGING

SQL> SELECT force_logging FROM v$database;

FOR
--NO
SQL> alter database force logging;

Database altered.
SQL> SELECT force_logging FROM v$database;

FOR
--YES
STEP 4. Add Standby Redo Log
Create standby log files on primary database. Standby Redo logs are used to store redo information
received from another database (in this case primary). SRL needs to be of the same size as online redo
logs (ORL). It is recommened to have one more SRL group than the online redo log.
select * from v$logfile;

STEP 5. Add entries in the parameter file

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

File created.

Existing parameter:
orcl.__db_cache_size=905969664
orcl.__java_pool_size=16777216
orcl.__large_pool_size=33554432
orcl.__oracle_base='/u01/app/oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
orcl.__pga_aggregate_target=838860800
orcl.__sga_target=1258291200
orcl.__shared_io_pool_size=0
orcl.__shared_pool_size=285212672
orcl.__streams_pool_size=0
*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.compatible='11.2.0.4.0'
*.control_files='+DATA/orcl/controlfile/current.371.863944525'
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_create_file_dest='+DATA'
*.db_domain=''
*.db_name='orcl'
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=orclXDB)'
*.log_archive_dest_1='location=/u02/orcl/archive/'
*.memory_target=2097152000
*.open_cursors=300
*.processes=150
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

Primary role/LOG parameter:


#Added Parameter
#Primary role related parameter incl. LOG_ARCHIVE parameter.
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcl
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcl,orclstb)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orclstb LGWR ASYNC
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orclstb'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=5

Standby role parameter:


#Standby role related parameter
FAL_SERVER=orcl
FAL_CLIENT=orclstb
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='+DATA/orcl/','+DATA/orclstb/'
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='+DATA/orcl/','+DATA/orclstb/'
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO

Now create server parameter file from pfile and startup database using spfile.

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

File created.

SQL> shutdown immediate


Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> create spfile from pfile;

File created.

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Prepare Standby Database
STEP 6. Prepare Standby
In order to connect to the standby database create a password file on the physical standby database
(using ORAPWD) with the same password used by primary SYS account.

[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs


[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$
[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$ orapwd file=orapworcl password=oracle_4U
Create an initorcl.ora file for standby (support) database with a single parameter DB_NAME.
db_name=orcl

Set the OARCLE_SID variable and start the physical standby in NOMOUNT mode using parameter file.

[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl


[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$ sqlplus /nolog

*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump'

[oracle@klbstbkt2 dbs]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump


Oracle NET Configuration
STEP 7. Configure Oracle Net
Configure lisneters and service names on both the primary and standby so that they can communicate
with each other.
The following listener.ora file on Primary Databse.
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_ORCL = /u01/app/oracle
LISTENER_ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.50.12)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_ORCL =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
)
)

The following listener.ora file on Standby Databse.


ADR_BASE_LISTENER_ORCL = /u01/app/oracle
LISTENER_ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.50.22)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_ORCL =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
)
)

Add or update the following entry to the tnsnames.ora file on both machine.

orclstb =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.50.22)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.50.12)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)

RMAN
STEP 8. Use RMAN to create standby database
run {
allocate channel prmy1 type disk format '/u03/backup/rman/%U';
allocate channel prmy2 type disk format '/u03/backup/rman/%U';
allocate channel prmy3 type disk format '/u03/backup/rman/%U';
allocate channel prmy4 type disk format '/u03/backup/rman/%U';
allocate auxiliary channel stby type disk format '/u03/backup/rman/%U';
duplicate target database for standby
from active database
spfile
set db_unique_name='orclstb'
set service_names=orcl
set control_files='+DATA'
set fal_client='orclstb'
set fal_server='orcl'
set log_archive_dest_2='service=orcl async
valid_for=(online_logfile,primary_role) db_unique_name=orcl'
dorecover
nofilenamecheck;
}
