1.

Ensure log_archive_dest_2 is configured on PRIMARY and STANDBY databases

=> Show parameter log_archive_dest_2

2. Media Recovery Process (MRP) is active on STANDBY and in sync with PRIMARY
database

=> This already shown to you .

3. Create STANDBY REDO logs on PRIMARY, if not exists

=> Ask DBA to check it on production. if it is there then need to create on

standby.

select * from v$standby_log;

4. FAL_CLIENT & FAL_SERVER parameters set on both databases

==> show parameter fal

Production :- fal_server = standby

fal_client = primary

Standby :- fal_server=primary
fal_client = standby

5. Verify TEMP tablespaces on STANDBY, add them if required, as TEMPFFILES created

after STANDBY creation won’t be propagated to STANDBY site.

=> select name from v$tempfile;

6. Also check the connectivity from DR to production using TNS entry mentioned in
log_archive_dest_2 parameter.

7. Also check memory related parameters. SGA , Memory ,

!date;hostname
1)Check whether managed recovery is running on the standby database
!date;hostname
select process,status,thread#,sequence# from v$managed_standby;

set lines 200 pages 50000

select PROCESS,PID,STATUS,CLIENT_PROCESS,THREAD#,SEQUENCE#,BLOCKS from
v$managed_standby where process like 'MRP%';

2)At primary site check the max archive log sequence that is generated
!date;hostname
select inst_id,max(sequence#) from gv$archived_log group by inst_id;
select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;

set lines 200 pages 50000

col NAME for a75
select /*+ RULE(a) */ thread#,SEQUENCE#,name,to_char(completion_time,'dd-mon-
hh24:mi') from v$archived_log a where (THREAD#,SEQUENCE#) in (select
THREAD#,max(SEQUENCE#) from v$archived_log group by THREAD#) and dest_id=1;

3) At DR site check the max archive log sequence that is applied

!date;hostname
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES' group by
thread#;

4) Verify the size of temp tablespace in primary and standby database

set lines 200 pages 50000
col FILENAME for a60
select file#,tmp.name filename,bytes/1024/1024 MB,ts.name tablespace from
v$tempfile tmp, v$tablespace ts where tmp.ts#=ts.ts# order by 1;
!date;hostname

5) Verify whether all datafiles are online prior to swithover on both primary and
standby database

select name from v$datafile where status='OFFLINE';

!date;hostname

Below steps are to be performed on primary database:

6) Ensure that no jobs are running on the database
!date;hostname
select * from dba_jobs_running;

7) set job_queue_processes to zero

!date;hostname
set lines 200 pages 50000
col value for a60
select inst_id,name,value from gv$parameter where name like '%job_q%';
alter system set job_queue_processes=0 scope=spfile;

shut immediate;
startup;

alter system switch logfile;

alter system checkpoint;
/

8) Verify whether primary database can be switched over to standby

!date;hostname
select switchover_status from v$database;

CREATE TABLE ON_PRIMARY_24072016_B4_SWITCH as select

instance_name,host_name ,status, open_mode, database_role,sysdate Dt from
v$database,gv$instance,dual;

9) Switchover the primary database to standby

!date;hostname
alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown;
shut abort;
!date;hostname

---CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;

10) Switchover From standbydatabase

!date;hostname
select switchover_status from v$database;
!date;hostname
alter database commit to switchover to primary with session shutdown;

alter database open;

!date;hostname
select instance_name,host_name ,status, open_mode, startup_time,database_role from
v$database,gv$instance;

alter session set nls_date_format='dd-mon-yyyy hh24-mi';

select * from ON_PRIMARY_24072016_B4_SWITCH;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO ALL STANDBY;

select force_logging from v$database;

11) Check database role in new primary database(DR site)

!date;hostname
select instance_name,host_name ,status, open_mode, startup_time,database_role from
v$database,gv$instance;

12) Restart the new standby database(primary site)

!date;hostname
shutdown abort;
startup mount;
alter database open read only;
!date;hostname

alter system register;

13) Start managed recovery process on the new standby(primary site)

!date;hostname
recover managed standby database disconnect from session parallel 5;

14) Reset the job_queue_processes parameter to its original value in new primary
database(DR site)
alter system set job_queue_processes=100 scope=both;
!date;hostname

15) Verify whether archivelog shipping is happening automatically or not

a)At primary site check the max archive log sequence that is generated
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;
!date;hostname

b) At DR site check the max archive log sequence that is applied

select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
!date;hostname
