Configuration of 10g Data Guard Broker and Observer For Switchover

Configuration of 10g Data Guard Broker and Observer for Switchover
Configuring Data Guard Broker for Switchover, General Review.
On a previous document, 10g Data Guard, Physical Standby Creation, step by step I did describe
how to implement a Data Guard
configuration; on this document I'm adding how to configure the broker and observer, setup the
database to Maximum Availability and
managing switchover from Data Guard Manager, DGMGRL.
Data Guard Broker permit to manage a Data Guard Configuration, from both the Enterprise Manager
Grid Control console, or from a
terminal in command line mode. In this document I will explore command line mode.
Pre requisites include the use of 10g Oracle server, using spfile on both the primary and standby and
a third server for the Observer,
and configure the listeners to include a service for the Data Guard Broker.
The Enviroment
2 Linux servers, Oracle Distribution 2.6.9-55 EL i686 i386 GNU/Linux, the Primary and Standby
databases are located on these
servers.
1 Linux server, RH Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp x86_64 GNU/Linux, The Data Guard Broker Observer is
located on this server
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
ssh is configured for user oracle on both nodes
Oracle Home is on identical path on both nodes
Primary database ANTONY
Standby database JOHN
Step by Step Implementation of Data Guard Broker

Enable Data Guard Broker Start on the Primary and Standby databases
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DG_BROKER_START=TRUE SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
Setup the Local_Listener parameter on both the Primary and Standby databases
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='LISTENER_VMRACTEST' SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
Setup the tnsnames to enable communication with both the Primary and Standby databases
The listener.ora should include a service named global_db_nameDGMGRL to enable the broker to start
the databases on the event of
switchover. This configuration needs to be included on both servers.
Listener.ora on Node 1
LISTENER_VMRACTEST =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac1.localdomain)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_VMRACTEST =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = antony)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 )
(SID_NAME = antony)
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME= antony)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = antony_DGMGRL)
)
)
Listener.ora on Node 2
LISTENER_VMRACTEST =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac2.localdomain)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_VMRACTEST =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = john)
(SID_NAME = john)
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME= john)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = john_DGMGRL)
)
)
Tnsnames.ora on Node 1, 2 and the observer node
ANTONY =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac1.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = antony_DGMGRL)
)
)
JOHN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac2.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))

(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = john_DGMGRL)
)
)
Setup the Broker configuration files
The broker configuration files are automatically created when the broker is started using ALTER
SYSTEM SET
DG_BROKER_START=TRUE.
The default destination can be modified using the parameters DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and
DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2
On Primary:
SQL>SHOW PARAMETERS DG_BROKER_CONFIG
NAME
TYPE
VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- -----------------------------dg_broker_config_file1
string
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
/db_1/dbs/dr1antony.dat
dg_broker_config_file2
string
/db_1/dbs/dr2antony.dat
On standby:
SQL> SHOW PARAMETERS DG_BROKER_CONFIG
NAME
TYPE
VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- -----------------------------dg_broker_config_file1
string
/db_1/dbs/dr1john.dat
dg_broker_config_file2
string
/db_1/dbs/dr2john.dat
Next create from within the DGMGRL the configuration

Enabling Fast Start Failover and the Observer
These are the steps required to enable and check Fast Start Failover and the Observer:
1. Ensure standby redologs are configured on all databases.
on primary:
SQL> SELECT TYPE,MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
TYPE
MEMBER
------- --------------------------------------------------
ONLINE /u01/app/oracle/oradata/antony/redo03.log
STANDBY /u01/app/oracle/oradata/antony/redoby04.log
On standby:
SQL> SELECT TYPE,MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
TYPE
MEMBER
---------- -------------------------------------------------ONLINE
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/john/redo03.log
ONLINE
ONLINE
STANDBY
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/john/redoby04.log
STANDBY
STANDBY
2. Ensure the LogXptMode Property is set to SYNC.

Note: These commands will succeed only if database is configured with standby redo logs.
DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE antony SET PROPERTY 'LogXptMode'='SYNC';
Property "LogXptMode" updated
DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE john SET PROPERTY 'LogXptMode'='SYNC';
Property "LogXptMode" updated
3.Specify the FastStartFailoverTarget property
DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE antony SET PROPERTY FastStartFailoverTarget='john';

Property "faststartfailovertarget" updated
DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE john SET PROPERTY FastStartFailoverTarget='antony';
Property "faststartfailovertarget" updated
4.Upgrade the protection mode to MAXAVAILABILITY, if necessary.
DGMGRL> EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;

Operation requires shutdown of instance "antony" on database "antony"
Shutting down instance "antony"...
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Operation requires startup of instance "antony" on database "antony"

ORACLE instance started.
Database mounted.
note: if ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Failed.
You are no longer connected to ORACLE
Please connect again.
you must start instance (primary database) manually
SQL> conn / as sysdba
SQL> startup mount;
5. Enable Flashback Database on the Primary and Standby Databases.

On Both databases
To enter the standby into Flashback mode you must shutdown the both databases, then while the
primary is down execute the
following commands on the standby:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION=3600 SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_MANAGEMENT='AUTO' SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
SQL> startup mount;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK ON;
