Step by Step Creating a physical standby database on Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 using RMAN

Creating a physical standby database on Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 using RMAN :-

OS Version:-Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4
Oracle version:- Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 64bit
Primary database:- prim   
Standby database:- stand

System Configuration

primary server:-

edit the following files

vi /etc/hosts

192.168.2.102   server1.soumya.com      server1
192.168.2.104   server2.soumya.com      server2

:wq

vi /etc/sysconfig/network
HOSTNAME=server1.soumya.com

:wq

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.2.102
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1

:wq

Standby Server:-

edit the following files

vi /etc/hosts

192.168.2.102   server1.soumya.com      server1
192.168.2.104   server2.soumya.com      server2
:wq

vi /etc/sysconfig/network

HOSTNAME=server2.soumya.com

:wq

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.2.104
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1

:wq

In both server-- # service network restart
                 # service NetworkManager restart
                 # service iptables stop
                 # chkconfig iptables off
                 #vi /etc/selinux/config and disable selinux .
                  After changing inside the file please restart the server.       
               
We have a database called prim on primary server and  we will install only oracle binaries on
standby server(192.168.2.104).No database should be running in standby server.
                 



Oracle Net configuration:-

Listener.ora configuration for primary database (prim) in primary server (192.168.2.102)

vi $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = prim)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
      (SID_NAME = prim)
    )
  )
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server1.soumya.com)(PORT = 1521))
  )
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle

:wq

Listener.ora configuration for standby database (stand) in standby server (192.168.2.104)
vi $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = stand)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
      (SID_NAME = stand)
    )
  )
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server2.soumya.com)(PORT = 1521))
  )
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle

:wq

On both server(192.168.2.102 & 192.168.2.104), add Oracle Net aliases for both databases and aux alias for RMAN DUPLICATE in
tnsnames.ora:

vi $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

prim =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server1.soumya.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = prim)
    )
  )

stand =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server2.soumya.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = stand)
    )
  )

-save & exit(:wq )

Now we will have to start listener in primary and standby server:-

$ lsnrctl start

Check "tnsping prim" & "tnsping stand"  in both server. If output of both command is
coming as "ok" that means oracle net service has been added successfully.

In primary database:-
Put the database in archivelog mode.

Database log mode              No Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Disabled
Archive destination            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence     2
Current log sequence           4

SQL> shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.


SQL> startup mount

In Primary Database:-

Enable force logging The FORCE LOGGING option to ensure that all the changes made in the database
will be captured and available for recovery in the redo logs.

SQL> alter database force logging;
Database altered.

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

FORCE_LOGGING
---------------------------------------
YES

Create a password file
$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwprim password=redhat
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/
$ chmod 775 orapwprim
$ cp orapwprim orapwstand

Now transfer the password file  into standby server using scp command
$ scp orapwstand oracle@192.168.2.104:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/


Add following parameter in pfile for primary database.

create pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprim.ora' from spfile;   

vi /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initprim.ora

At Standby database:-
Create the necessary directory structure:-

$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/stand/adump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/stand/
$ chmod 775 -Rf /u01

Configure .bash_profile
[oracle@server2 ~]$ vi .bash_profile

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=$TMP
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=server2.soumya.com

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib64
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib

Now start the instance in nomount mode with minimal options

vi initstand.ora

Now for real time apply:-

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

SQL> alter database open;

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session;

There are various ways to see if this is working or not. You can use it in the following query to see what was the last archive received/applied in the Standby Database.

On standby database

SQL> SELECT 'Last Applied : ' Logs,
TO_CHAR(next_time,'DD-MON-YY:HH24:MI:SS') TIME,thread#,sequence#
FROM v$archived_log
WHERE sequence# =
(SELECT MAX(sequence#) FROM v$archived_log WHERE applied='YES'
)

SELECT 'Last Received : ' Logs,
TO_CHAR(next_time,'DD-MON-YY:HH24:MI:SS') TIME,thread#,sequence#
FROM v$archived_log
WHERE sequence# =
(SELECT MAX(sequence#) FROM v$archived_log );

LOGS             TIME                  THREAD#  SEQUENCE#

Last Received :  07-SEP-15:11:53:22          1         17
While in the Primary Database, you can check what is the current sequence and what is the pending sequence to be applied.

On primary database

SQL> SELECT
 (SELECT name FROM V$DATABASE
 ) name,
 (SELECT MAX (sequence#) FROM v$archived_log WHERE dest_id = 1

NAME      CURRENT_PRIMARY_SEQ   MAX_STBY To be applied To be Shipped
--------- ------------------- ---------- ------------- -------------

Finally Test on primary database to check if the datas are being replicated to standby or not
SQL> create user soumya identified by soumya;
SQL>grant connect , resource to soumya;
SQL> conn soumya/soumya
SQL>create table test (id number);
SQL>insert into test values(1);
SQL> /
SQL> /
SQL> commit;

Now on standby database:-
sqlplus soumya/soumya

SQL> select * from test;

        ID
----------
         1
         1
       
So we can see the datas are applying on standby real time.
