ORACLE Graceful Switch Over

The document outlines the steps to perform a switchover between a primary and physical standby database. It involves checking configuration parameters on both databases like datafiles, controlfiles, redo logs. On the primary, it verifies the ability to switchover and shuts down the database. On the standby, it commits to becoming the new primary. The old primary then recovers as a new standby while the new primary enables archiving.

Steps to be performed on Primary


Verify that it is possible to perform a switchover

select switchover_status FROM v$database; SWITCHOVER_STATUS -----------------TO STANDBY

Note : Ensure No active sessions should be present SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby ; Note : If SWITCHOVER_STATUS returns "SESSIONS ACTIVE" SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown; SQL> shutdown immediate SQL> startup nomount ; SQL > alter database mount standby database; SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = defer; Steps to be performed on Standby Database Verify that the physical standby can be converted to the new primary

select switchover_status FROM v$database; SWITCHOVER_STATUS -----------------SWITCHOVER PENDING

SQL > alter database commit to switchover to primary; Note : If SWITCHOVER_STATUS returns "SESSIONS ACTIVE" SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary with session shutdown; SQL > shutdown immediate; SQL > startup ; Steps to be performed on New Standby Database Primary) (Old
