Monitoring a Data Guard Configuration:
The scenario in
this section demonstrates how to use the SHOW command and monitorable database properties to identify
and resolve a failure situation.
Step
1 Check the configuration status.
The status of the
broker configuration is an aggregated status of all databases and instances in
the broker configuration. You can check the configuration status first to
determine whether or not any further action needs to be taken. If the
configuration status is SUCCESS, everything in the
broker configuration is working fine. However, if you see the following error,
it means something is wrong in the configuration:
DGMGRL>
SHOW CONFIGURATION;
Configuration
Name: DRSolution
Enabled: NO
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
SALESPRD
- Primary database
SALESDR
- Physical standby database
Current
status for "DRSolution":
Warning:
ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
In this case, you need
to continue on to Step 2 to determine the actual failure.
Step
2 Check the database status.
To identify which
database has the failure, you need to go through all of the databases in the
configuration one by one. In this example, the error happens to be on the
primary database SALESPRD:
DGMGRL>
SHOW DATABASE 'SALESPRD';
The command returns
the following output:
Database
Name: SALESPRD
Role: PRIMARY
Enabled: YES
Intended State: TRANSPORT-ON
Instance(s):
sales1
Current
status for "SALESPRD":
Error:
ORA-16810: multiple errors or warnings detected for the database
When you see message
ORA-16810, you can use the StatusReport monitorable database property to identify each of the
errors or warnings:
DGMGRL>
SHOW DATABASE 'SALESPRD' 'StatusReport';
STATUS
REPORT
INSTANCE_NAME SEVERITY ERROR_TEXT
sales1 ERROR ORA-16737: the redo transport
service for
standby
" SALESDR" has an error
sales1 WARNING ORA-16714: the value of property
LogArchiveTrace
is inconsistent with the database setting
sales1 WARNING ORA-16715: redo transport-related
property
ReopenSecs
of standby database " SALESDR" is inconsistent
Step
4 Check the LogXptStatus monitorable database property.
You see error
ORA-16737 in the previous status report in Step 3. To identify the exact log
transport error, you can use LogXptStatus monitorable database property:
DGMGRL>
SHOW DATABASE 'SALESPRD' 'LogXptStatus';
LOG
TRANSPORT STATUS
PRIMARY_INSTANCE_NAME
STANDBY_DATABASE_NAME
STATUS
sales1 SALESDR ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
Now you know the exact
reason why redo transport services failed. To fix this error, start the
listener for the physical standby database SALESDR.
Step
5 Check the InconsistentProperties monitorable database
property.
You also see warning
ORA-16714 reported in Step 3. To identify the inconsistent values for
property LogArchiveTrace, you can use the InconsistentProperties monitorable database property:
DGMGRL>
SHOW DATABASE 'SALESPRD' 'InconsistentProperties';
INCONSISTENT
PROPERTIES
INSTANCE_NAME PROPERTY_NAME MEMORY_VALUE SPFILE_VALUE BROKER_VALUE
sales1 LogArchiveTrace 255 0 0
It seems that the
current database memory value (255) is different from both the server parameter
file (SPFILE) value (0) and Data Guard broker's property value (0). If you
decide the database memory value is correct, you can update Data Guard broker's
property value using the following command:
DGMGRL>
EDIT DATABASE 'SALESPRD' SET PROPERTY 'LogArchiveTrace'=255;
Property
"LogArchiveTrace" updated
In the previous
command, Data Guard broker also updates the spfile value for you so that value
for LogArchiveTrace is kept consistent.
Step
6 Check the InconsistentLogXptProps monitorable database
property.
Another warning you
see in the status report returned in Step 3 is ORA-16715. To identify the
inconsistent values for the redo transport configurable database
property, ReopenSecs, you can use the InconsistentLogXptProps monitorable database property.
DGMGRL>
SHOW DATABASE 'SALESPRD' 'InconsistentLogXptProps';
INCONSISTENT
LOG TRANSPORT PROPERTIES
INSTANCE_NAME STANDBY_NAME PROPERTY_NAME MEMORY_VALUE BROKER_VALUE
sales1 SALESDR
ReopenSecs 600 300
The current database
memory value (600) is different from the Data Guard broker's property value
(300). If you think the broker's property value is correct, you can fix the
inconsistency by re-editing the property of the standby database with the same
value, as shown in the following example:
DGMGRL>
EDIT DATABASE 'SALESDR' SET PROPERTY 'ReopenSecs'=300;
Property
"ReopenSecs" updated
You can also reenable
the standby database or reset the primary database state to TRANSPORT-ON to fix the inconsistency, but re-editing the property is the
simplest.
