Hello Sir,
Thanx so much for sharing your knowledge.
Question.
I installed oem grid rel5.
I do not see any link to restart physical stanby ? Did Oracle remove this completely ?
We used to have such a nice gui interface with java console for data guard administration where we could select a site and do restart.
Infact I cant even startup a physical standby from OEM.
If i give the option to start in mount state its says control file is for stanbdy .
AM I missing something
Please advise.
This seems to be such a basic requirement why should it be so difficult. May be I am wrong.
Yes, definitely, you are missing something. First of all it looks like you have created the standby outside Grid Control. Try to create it in Grid Control instead. If you have created outside, then try to add it to the data guard configuration. Then Grid Control will understand it is a Data Guard pair. It should appear as such in the list of database targets. Read the article to see how to create a new standby via Grid control.
I did the Data guard from Grid.
It does show up as a pair.
If we click on the link to extreme RHS in the middle of database homepage for high availability ,it does show up.
But if you compare this interface to the 9i OEM I think definitely things are going missing.
I created a 9i physical standby database from GRID.
It shows both targets the primary as well the physical standby.
But when you try to stop and start the standby thats when it gets confused.
Dont compare with 9i OEM - that is a Java client whiich took up a lot of memory, had to be installed on each PC and is older architecture.
You should not stop and start the standby without first stopping the application of logs. Perhaps this is where you are doing something wrong.
Thanks a lot for making this downloadable..loved this blog..just started my career in Oracle!
