Physical Standby Switchover


Roles before: Munich Primary Role, Hamburg Standby Role
Database Site: Munich: SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE; SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY; SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; SQL> STARTUP MOUNT; Database Site: Hamburg

Zeit
Attention with RAC: SWITCHOVER_STATUS stays SESSIONS ACTIVE, because Clusterware is monitoring instance with a logged in session. Solution: racgimon stopd <dbname> SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE; SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY; SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; SQL> STARTUP;

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT;

Roles afterwards: Munich Standby Role, Hamburg Primary Role

Physical Standby Failover


Roles before: Munich failed, Hamburg Standby Role
Database Site: Munich Database Site: Hamburg

time To avoid data loss, get all available redo data from Primary, then: SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH FORCE; Do not use the ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE STANDBY DATABASE to perform a failover, because this statement may cause data loss. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/ B19306_01/server.102/b14239/role_ management.htm#i1026464 SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY; SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Roles afterwards: Munich failed, Hamburg Primary Role
