-------------------------------------------------------

Two Machines:

1st Machine IP: 192.168.1.10 hostname: server1.oracle.com

2nd Machine IP: 192.168.1.20 hostname: server2.oracle.com

Steps below mention:

2- Create Database {DG1} on Primary Machine.

3- Create Pfile from Spfile

SQL> create pfile from spfile.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

4- Change parameters in pfile (Primary)

[oracle@server1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

[oracle@server1 ~]$ mv initdg1.ora initprimary.ora

[oracle@server1 ~]$ vi initprimary.ora

Add below mention parameters in pfile…..

###########################################

#Data Guard Parameter

###########################################

*.dispathers='(protocol=TCP) (service=primary_DGMGRL)'

DB_UNIQUE_NAME='PRIMARY'

FAL_CLIENT='primary'

FAL_SERVER='standby'

LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(primary,standby)'

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=use_db_recovery_file_dest

VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)
 DB_UNIQUE_NAME=primary'

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=standby

VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)

DB_UNIQUE_NAME=standby'

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1=ENABLE

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE

service_names='dg1'

STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT='AUTO'

5- Create password file.

[oracle@server1 dbs]$ orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapwprimary password=oracle

6- Now restart the primary database to mount stage....

[oracle@server1 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=primary

SQL startup mount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprimary.ora;

7- On Archivelog, force logging and flashback on.....

SQL> alter database archivelog;

SQL> alter database force Logging;

SQL> alter database flashback on;

8- Create standby redologs on primary databse with formula {Total Existing +1}.

SQL> alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/Stdredo1.LOG' size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/Stdredo2.LOG' size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/Stdredo3.LOG' size 50m;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/Stdredo4.LOG' size 50m;

9- Shutdown Primary database. [Done]

10- Create required directories on standby server

[root@server2 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/dg1/dpdump

[root@server2 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/dg1/pfile

[root@server2 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/

[root@server2 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dg1

[root@server2 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DG1

[root@server2 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/

[root@server2 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/oradata/

[root@server2 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/

[root@server2 ~]# chmod -R 777 /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/

[root@server2 ~]# chmod -R 777 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/

[root@server2 ~]# chmod -R 777 /u01/

11- Copy all datafiles,redologs, standby redologs from Primary (Server1} to Standby {Server2} on same location;

[oracle@server1 ~]$ scp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/*.* [email protected]:/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/

12- Mount primary database ..

SQL> startup mount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprimary.ora;

13- Create standby Controlfile.

SQL> alter database create standby controlfile as '/u01/app/oracle/control.ctl';

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

SQL> shutdown immediate;

SQL> startup;

14.Copy control file to standby database on both location oradata & fast_recovery_area and rename.
Server1:

[oracle@server1 ~]$ scp /u01/app/oracle/control.ctl [email protected]:/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/

[oracle@server1 ~]$ scp /u01/app/oracle/control.ctl [email protected]:/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dg1/

Server2:

[oracle@server2 ~]$ mv /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/control.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dg1/control01.ctl

[oracle@server2 ~]$ mv /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dg1/control.ctl

15. Register Primary Database with Listener

Global Database name: primary_DGMGRL

SID: primary

Start listener

16. Now copy initprimary.ora file to any location on standby server

and rename it to initstandby.ora

Server1:

[oracle@server1 ~]$ scp /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprimary.ora

Server2:

[oracle@server2 ~]$ mv /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprimary.ora

17. Change parameters in pfile (standby)

Edit initstandby.ora file and add below mention changes ....

[oracle@server2 ~]$ vi /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initstandby.ora

###########################################

#Data Guard Parameter

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE

18. --- Create Password file for standby database

[oracle@server2 ~]$ orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapwstandby password=oracle force=y

19. Register database with listener and restart listener

Global Database name: standby_DGMGRL

SID: standby

[oracle@server2 ~]$ lsnrctl stop

[oracle@server2 ~]$ lsnrctl start

20. ...startup mount standby from pfile

[oracle@server2 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=standby

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

SQL> shutdown immediate;

SQL> startup mount;

SQL> alter database flashback on;

21. ...... Services Configuration:

ON Primary.........

Service name dg1

hostname: server2.oracle.com

netservice name: standby

ON Standby.............

Service name dg1

hostname: server1.oracle.com

netservice name: primary

22. ... check switching of log files;

ON Primary……………

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

SQL> select count(*) from v$archived_log;

ON Standby.......................

SQL> select name,archived,applied from v$archived_log; (Status archive not applied yet)

on Standby:.................
SQl> alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=primary LGWR AFFIRM ASYNC

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE disconnect;

SQL> select name,archived,applied from v$archived_log;

SQL> select process,status from v$managed_standby;

SQL> select name, database_role,open_mode,flashback_on from v$database;
