Documentation and standby VCB

Try to get the suspension of scripts to work in ESX 4 (ditto for 3.5 U4 incidentally), I discovered that the documentation is either incomplete, or simply incorrect.

I speak only of virtual machines Windows here, but in several messages on this community and other forums, I see the same thing for Linux guests.

The VCB backup guide says in 2 different places to freeze the scripts:

-ESX 3.5 U2 pre: pre-antifreeze - script.bat and post-thaw - script.bat in c:\Windows

-U2 3.5 and later: 1 single script that takes freeze and thaw as arguments, located in the program Vmware Tools directory, subdirectory backupscripts.d

On the two ESX 4U1 and 3.5 U4, using VCB 1.5 U1, I had problems to freeze the scripts to work when you use the format of path and the script described in the documentation.

In the hostd.log of the ESX host, I found entries that showed the C:\Windows\pre-freeze-script.bat starting, instead of the script, I expect, based on the documentation, so I put the scripts there, and they worked.

So, what is everything?

Is there someone who can provide accurate information on the use of scripts of gel, and where they should be put? (please don't point me to the documentation on the Vmware Web site, I read that and it is wrong, as I described above)

It does make a difference if I installed Vmware VSS provider or not? (two cases I had the problem with, has no, and I have not tested in a virtual machine, it was still installed)

The new location is only used if VSS is installed with VMware tools. In order to get a solution that works always place just a wrapper on the new location that points to the original scriptname remaining on the old rental (%windir%\System32). Please keep in mind that the current versions of VMware tools changed his installation on 64-bit windows path. So be sure that you create the folder "backupScript.d" in the right place and keep an eyes open if your upgrade tools where already implement you the sleep scripts.

1. create the file 'backupScripts.d' in /path_wher_vmwaretools_installed/

2. place the wrapper "vcb.bat" in "backupScripts.d".

3. create the pre_freeze and post_thaw.bat files in c:\windows

4. create 2 text files (vcb_msg_start.txt, vcb_msg_stop.txt) to send msg in c:\windows (only 3 attachments are allowed here)

I have attached the files of my solution which has also written to a log file and also by e-mail [1] notify if you wish. You can test the current full thing with a "vcb.bat gel" and "vcb.bat thaw."

blat.exe and sleep.exe is necessary for sending email from the command line

  • change ip address of the database servers primary and standby

    Hello.

    I have an oracle server primary and backup (version 11.2.0.4) on windows 8 profesional.

    They work well until today.

    Today, I had to change my ip address on both servers.

    After that I changed the ip address of the OS, I changed the ip address in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files only.

    A moment that everything worked well. But now the archivelog files not copy to the standby server.

    Is there a place where I have to change ip or the settings on the database?

    Please, I hope you can help me.

    3. make sure your journal alerts, what it says? information about the error?

    2. first thing ipadress sequenced in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora on primary and standby

    3. check ping to the host-level work and tnpsing is reached or not. If both are working check listeners are up or not and they are able to identify the services of db, registered or not.

    4. now, connect as sysdba password on the servers file

    5 check v$ achive_Dest_status for valid or relevant destination which is assistance for the transfer of the archives of primary Eve (the error column)

  • How to configure Enterprise Manager Database Control (MCCD) to make it work on 2 servers (primary and standby) work according to the rules of the DG

    Hello everyone I use Oracle Database EE 11.2.0.4 with DG.

    In these cases, I need to get Enterprise Manager Database Control running against DB with no CARS and no DG I do the following:

    I have SQLPLUS logon as user SYS or SYSTEM and drop the account sysman and business objects:

    DECLARE

    CURSOR c1 IS

    SELECT master, synonym_name name

    OF dba_synonyms

    RUN IMMEDIATELY "DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM ' |" R1. Name;

    ON THE OTHER

    RUN IMMEDIATELY "DROP SYNONYM ' |" R1. Owner: '. ' || R1. Name;

    END IF;

    DROP ROLE mgmt_user;

    /

    Sysman DROP USER CASCADE;

    /

    After that, I run

    EMCA - config dbcontrol db-rest recreate

    But what do I do in case I have 2 servers (primary and standby) work according to the rules of the DG?

    Hello

    It is not possible to monitor and administer a basic physical or logical standby, IE using Enterprise Manager Database Control Data Guard.  This is mainly due to the fact that Database Control is designed to monitor the 1-database and an environment Data Guard, by definition, includes more than 1 database.

    If you attempt to run emca against a database of pending, you will get an error like (i.e. ORA-01219: database is not open).

    Of course, database Control, can be used to monitor the current main database (with no capacity to administer or control Data Guard related features).  In such a case, failover Database Control needs to be reconfigured to run on the new primary database using the commands described in detail in Note 278100.1 how to remove, create and recreate DB Control In A Database, section c. recreate/ReConfig DB control, Option 2 10 g. recreate the control DB Configuration files and repository.

    Enterprise Manager Grid Control or Cloud control provides the functionality for display, monitor, and administer the primary and standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.

    Reference: It is Possible to configure the database for a logical or physical Standby Database command? (Doc ID 315116.1)

    You can effectively use EM 12 c cloud control to monitor and manager ensures DB

  • Purge logs archiving on things primary and Standby and for Data Guard RMAN


    Hi, I saw a couple of orders in regard to the purge archive records in a Data Guard configuration.

    Set UP the STRATEGY of SUPPRESSION of ARCHIVE to SHIPPED to All RELIEF;

    Set UP the STRATEGY of ARCHIVELOG DELETION to APPLIED on All RELIEF;

    Q1. The above only removes logs archiving to the primary or primary and Standby?

    Q2. If deletions above archive logs on the primary, is it really remove them (immediately) or does the FRA to delete if space is needed?

    I also saw

    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SAVED;

    Q3. That what precedes, and once again it is something that you re primary side?

    I saw the following advice in the manual of Concepts of data protection & Admin

    Configure the DB_UNIQUE_NAME in RMAN for each database (primary and Standby) so RMAN can connect remotely to him

    Q4. Why would I want my primary ro connect to the RMAN Repository (I use the local control file) of the standby? (is this for me to say define RMAN configuration settings in the Standby) manual

    Q5. Should I only work with the RMAN Repository on the primary or should I be also in things in the deposits of RMAN (i.e. control files) of the standby?

    Q6. If I am (usually mounted but not open) Physics, of standby I able to connect to its own local repository for RMAN (i.e. control based on files) while sleep mode is just mounted?

    Q7. Similiarly if I have an old lofgical (i.e. effectively read-only), to even connect to the local RMAN Repository of Eve?

    Q8. What is the most common way to schedule a RMAN backup to such an environment? example cron, planner of the OEM, DBMS_SCHEDULER? MY instinct is cron script as Planner OEM requires running the OEM service and DBMS_SCHEDULER requires the data runs?

    Any idea greatly appreciated,

    Jim

    The above only removes logs archiving to the primary or primary and Standby?

    When CONFIGURE you a deletion policy, the configuration applies to all destinations archive

    including the flash recovery area. BACKUP - ENTRY DELETE and DELETE - ARCHIVELOG obey this configuration, like the flash recovery area.

    You can also CONFIGURE an archived redo log political suppression that newspapers are eligible for deletion only after being applied to or transferred to database backup destinations.

    If deletions above archive logs on the primary, is it really remove them (immediately) or does the FRA to delete if space is needed?

    Its a configuration, it will not erase by itself.

    If you want to use FRA for the automatic removal of the archivelogs on a database of physical before you do this:

    1. make sure that DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is set to FRA - view parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST - and - setting DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE

    2. do you have political RMAN primary and Standby set - CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY to APPLY ON ALL STANDBY;

    If you want to keep archives more you can control how long keep logs by adjusting the size of the FRA

    Great example:

    http://emrebaransel.blogspot.com/2009/03/delete-applied-archivelogs-on-standby.html

    All Oracle is worth a peek here:

    http://emrebaransel.blogspot.com/

    That what precedes, and once again it is something that you re primary side?

    I would never use it. I always had it put it this way:

    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;

    I would use only 'BACKED UP' for the data protection system. Usually it tell oracle how many times to back up before removing.

    Why would I want my primary ro connect to the RMAN Repository?

    Because if you break down, you want to be able to backup there, too.

    Also if it remains idle for awhile you want.

    Should I only work with the RMAN Repository on the primary or should I be also in things in the deposits of RMAN (i.e. control files) of the standby?

    Always use a database of catalog RMAN with Data Guard.

    If I am (usually mounted but not open) Physics, of standby I able to connect to its own local repository for RMAN (i.e. control based on files) while sleep mode is just mounted?

    Same answer as 5, use a catalog database.

    Similiarly if I have an old lofgical (i.e. effectively read-only), to even connect to the local RMAN Repository of Eve?

    Same answer as 5, use a catalog database.

    What is the most common way to schedule a RMAN backup to such an environment? example cron, planner of the OEM, DBMS_SCHEDULER? MY instinct is cron script as Planner OEM requires running the OEM service and DBMS_SCHEDULER requires the data runs?

    I think cron is still, but they all work. I like cron because the database has a problem at work always reports its results.

    Best regards

    Summary

    Always use a database with RMAN catalog.

    Always use CRF with RMAN.

    Always set the deletion «To APPLY ON ALL STANDBY» policy

    DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE determines how long to keep the archives with this configuration.

    Hello
    Dataguard and standby dbs is HA or ACR is the only oracle HA?

    Dataguard is only DR

    Thank you

    I see two of them are the same, but they are always mentioned separately!

    Maybe Yes, maybe no.

    Systems with RAC tend to reside in the same server room; What makes poor Dr.
    With Data Guard systems tend to reside a 'fat' distance from each; that goes against tipping 'rapid '.
    Usually with RAC failover node is zero for single-digit seconds.
    Usually with the fail over node DG is measured in tens or hundreds of seconds.

    DG & CARS are not really the same, but not that much different if you ignore the failover time.

  • change log_archive_dest_1 on primary and standby databases

    All,

    I got a primary and standby that run smoothly... (10.2.0.4 on windows 2003) However, I'm running out of space on my drive root and need to change the location of my files of newspaper archives. I guess I have to change my pfile file and recreate the spfile on both servers of this:

    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 =
    "LOCATION = C:\Oracle\flash_recovery_area\PRIM\ARCHIVELOG
    VALID_FOR = (ALL_LOGFILES, ALL_ROLES)
    DB_UNIQUE_NAME = PRIM'

    TO:

    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 =
    "LOCATION = E:\archive\flash_recovery_area\PRIM\ARCHIVELOG
    VALID_FOR = (ALL_LOGFILES, ALL_ROLES)
    DB_UNIQUE_NAME = PRIM'

    Or can I change the two systems with the location on the fly safely?

    Thank you

    You use LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 = LOCATION = is for the primary for local path is to say, there is no interest to spread the path archivelog primary on the eve of the database as standby database has its own local path archivelog in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 = LOCATION = parameter which will be affected after switchover mode ensures the primary database.

  • Satellite L40 - Sleed and standby does not work correctly

    I have a portable Satellite L40 and it worked correctly until now. I turn and after I have put on standby (stand-by) mode; When I want to use my system, so to get that back to normal (I press the turn power button to exit the mode "standby" button), Windows Vista 32-bit restarts - it is not back to the moment I left it before the "sleep mode".

    Therefore, restarting Windows Vista 32-bit, and the screen "Windows has been disabled incorrect" appears instead to return to the configuration of the system that let him before sleep / standby mode.

    What can I do to fix this and make "sleep" mode works correctly?

    Hello!

    In your case, I'd do a BIOS update. You can search for updates on the Toshiba site
