Archives Gone Wild!  Or: what is a mandatory archive destination?

We had a situation where our DBs were configured with log_archive_dest_1 set to a destination of local file system, and log_archive_dest_2 has been set to a standby dataguard. dest_2 has been delayed and the broker turned off due to some work of DR site.

Everything was humming... until due to a miscommunication gross/misunderstanding, a DBA has added log_archive_dest_3, which has been specified like this:

ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_3 = ' LOCATION = / nas/database_name "SCOPE = BOTH;

log_archive_dest_state_3 has already been fixed and the DB immediately began trying to archive in/nas/DBNAME, who was on the NAS. We have never designed for it, and worse still, similar orders were given in other databases on the same server that are all very busy. We have four production servers busy trying to archives on the NAS. Very quickly (30-45 minutes), archiving could not follow, again filled and databases stopped accepting transactions. I have no solid evidence (yet) that the NAS performance caused the problem, but certainly we have the sequence of events where each DB seized 30 to 45 minutes after the change of dest_3 was made (and he exhausted his recovery online).

The DBs include three 10.1.0.4 a 10.2.0.4 9.2.0.8 and another on another server that had the same problem.

In the post-mortem analysis, a question is asked. If things were defined as I mentioned, why was not considered dest_3 as OPTIONAL? What I saw in the papers a lot of contention inter-archiver with a single ARCn process on hold for another. Each DB has 10 archivers. log_archive_min_succeed_dest is set to 1 on all databases. I don't think that even dest_1 is MANDATORY, although I guess min_succeed could ensure.

So here are my questions:

(1) IF you say log_archive_min_succeed_dest = 1 and have two local destinations (not DataGuard), does oracle pick dest_1 that must succeed? Or should I say "as long as the two succeed?

(2) I have a theory that each ARC began trying to write on the NAS and got a bottleneck. I see that they began to "create...". "but I saw no message 'done '. Therefore, the DB has failed to ARCs. What sounds plausible? I know that I would need a few data network / NAS who really make a strong case.

(3) the default value is OPTIONAL for destinations, right? So why the DB would wait on the NAS? Or is the case he had simply run out of ARCs?

Because you have multiple (too?) Archivers, each Redo Log was taken over by an other archiver and each archiver chose not to take DEST_3 as the target to copy to.

It is more likely that with less archiveurs, DEST_1 would have been picked up. For example, with 2 archivers, if ARC1 chose to write SEQ 15363 to DEST_3, ARC2 could choose to write SEQ. 15364 DEST_1
(but then again, you might say ' what needs to prevent ARC2 also choose to write to DEST_3 and blocked on this issue? ")

  • Need help with RMAN archive destination error during hot backup

    Hello

    Oracle 8.0.6, Win 2000 Server.

    We take the cold daily backup as our backup strategy. We wanted to implement the backup hot. If one day, I turned on the log mode archive and set the directory to archive in F:\drive to store all archived generated. I took the backup and put the database in noarchive log mode. We continued with offline backup.

    After a few days, I wanted to test the hot backup again. I created the directory of the archive in E:\archive\ instead of F:\archive\. When I started the hot backup, all files have been copied except the archives.

    The error was:

    RMAN-03022: compilation command: sql
    RMAN-06162: SQL statement: alter system archive log current

    RMAN is looking for the destination of the journal archive old i.e. 'f:\archive\ '. I don't have the backup of the old archives of destination. I put the new destination to archive E:\archive\ in the initorcl.ora file, rman is always looking for destination F:\archive\.

    Please suggest what to do. How can I remove old information from archive of controlfile and say rman, look in the new archives destination i.e. E:\archive\

When I get a text message, it says on the main screen, the icon in the upper left corner of the number of loans to read, but when I go to the sms screen it doesn't show messages. To be able to read them, I have to go to the display folder, select sms Inbox to read it and I then have to do the same thing again to fetch the second message.

    When I click on the sms option in the main menu screen is empty, but when I go to view the files and select each Inbox or send there all the previous posts, I then try to delete messages and it wont let me delete them and the screen then freeze.

    Messages appear all jumbled up, when they are the same person. It seems not now send messages and displays all messages I tried to send this afternoon as pending (a small red clock in the upper left corner of the screen of messages).

    Someone help me please as this is driving me crazy and I want to send again.

  • 10 workstation: Windows 'probably remove' Gone Wild

    I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.0 build-1295980 to host Microsoft Windows Server R2 2012.  Unfortunately, menu safely remove Windows lists several hardware devices that never appear when Windows is installed on a physical hardware.  Does anyone know how to remove these menu items so that may be displayed only legitimately removable (such as USB thumb drives)?

    Here is the safely remove icon that appears in the notification area of the Windows taskbar:

    Here is the menu of Windows Server 2012 R2 safely remove the runtime as a guest on VMware Workstation 10.0.0 build-1295980:

    Safely Remove (menu).png

    Hi voidpand welcome to the VMware communities!

    You have found a feature!  Our machines support virtual virtual PCI/PCIe hot and warm addition / deletion, if these devices expected to actually be ejection.  The physical host you compare against obviously doesn't support hotplug PCI/PCIe.

    If you don't want the items appearing in the "remove" list without worrying, power off and snapshot of your virtual machine, and then try to open the file ".vmx" inside the directory of the virtual machine and add using your favorite text editor

    Devices.hotplug = "FALSE".

    the virtual machine configuration.  When you turn on it again once, these devices should more be removable hot.  I have no idea how Windows will change... it could get horribly confused about this unusual change of his 'mother'... so please don't forget to take a snapshot before you try this!

    See you soon,.

  • In the single archive destination

    Hi friends,

    OS: OEL 5
    DB: 10.2.0.1

    When I activated the default archivelog mode its going to flash_recovery_area.
    I activated the log_archive_dest parameter and I observed that now I'll have two archives generated (one in the flash recovery area) and another in the way I provided with the above setting

    I tried with the parameter db_recovery_file_dest disabling, but it is to perform RMAN backup and other features.

    Someone please tell me how can I get archives in one place, I mean that I don't want in the area of flash recovery, but in the custom path.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    First thing, it's - DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST specifies the default location for the flash recovery area.

    I explained things please

  • Archived newspapers and Flash recovery

    Hello
    in 10g R2, what is the relationship between archived newspapers and Flash recovery?
    I have logs archived here:

    P:\oracle\product\10.2.0\flash_recovery_area\MYDB\ARCHIVELOG\2008_11_02

    And also here:

    D:\base\MYDB\arch

    Are both the Sami? What is the difference? We need both of them?

    Here are my settings:
    SQL> archive log list
    Database log mode              Archive Mode
    Automatic archival             Enabled
    Archive destination            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
    Oldest online log sequence     297
    Next log sequence to archive   299
    Current log sequence           299
    SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest_1
    
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
    log_archive_dest_1                   string      LOCATION=D:\base\MYDB\arch
                                                      OPTIONAL REOPEN=300
    log_archive_dest_10                  string      LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_
                                                     DEST OPTIONAL REOPEN=300
    Thanks before.

    Newspaper Archives are written in several places because of parameter settings. However, if you look at the value, OPTIONAL string indicates that the archiving of these places is not mandatory. If the archiver is unable to create an archive to any of these places, instance always works without any problem.

    It is absolutely mandatory that the archiver must be able to create an archive in one of the locations (if there is not both).

    What is the value to LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST (default is 1)?

    If you do not need two of them, you can stop archiving to a specific location with ALTER SYSTEM.

  • permanently deleted photos are REALLY gone?

    I accidentally deleted permanently 'iPhoto events' album of my iPhone > iCloud > Mac. I went from 8 000 to 2,000 photos. I've restored some of them of an old backup from time machine (March, 2013). My iCloud account clearly reflects the deletion. I was told that the hard drive data recovery options were futile, because data have been obliterated. Ditto for the Flash to the iPhone. I have renounced all forms of recovery of data a week ago, but now this question keeps nagging me: maybe I missed something? My precious photos are REALLY gone?

    What do you think average them permanently deleted, do you mean you deleted and then removed again from the recently deleted album.

    The iPhone path > iCloud > Mac doesn't mean anything to me, I'm afraid, but if the pictures have been synchronized on your Mac and you use time machine on the Mac, photos should be recoverable.
