Step by step configuration of Oracle 11gR2 Two Node RAC Dataguard Setup
Description:-
In this article we are going to configure Oracle 11gR2 two node RAC dataguard setup in RHEL 6.8.
Two Node RAC to Two Node RAC Physical Dataguard:
· Prepare Primary Site
· Prepare Standby Site
· Create RAC Physical Standby Database
Below is the environment details for two node RAC dataguard setup.
Let us consider that we have already configured two node 11gR2 RAC database in prodrac101 & prodrac102 with database name ORCL and database unique name ORCL_PRODRAC1 for primary site.
For two node RAC setup please refer here. It is in 12cR1, whereas both 11gR2 and 12cR1 RAC setup is same. So, we can follow the same steps for two node RAC primary setup in 11gR2 also.
Let’s start the two node dataguard setup for two node RAC in 11gR2.
As similar to primary(prodrac101 & prodrac102) site, the grid software and database software should be installed already in standby(prodrac201 & prodrac202) site.

Prepare Primary Site:-
Prepare Primary RAC database for DR configuration:-
- Change Database Unique Name & Enable Force Logging.
- Enable Archivelog Mode.
- Modify init Parameters.
- Create the SLRs (Standby Redo Logs).
- Create pfile for standby database.
- Update the tnsnames.ora.
Change Database Unique Name & Enable Force Logging:-
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='ORCL_PRODRAC1' SCOPE=SPFILE SID='*'; System altered. $ srvctl stop database -d ORCL $ srvctl start database -d ORCL_PRODRAC1 -o mount SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING; Database altered. SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG; <--- If not in archivelog mode Database altered.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO SCOPE=BOTH SID='*'; System altered.
Add the standby redolog files in primary:
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 7 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered. SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 8 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered. SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 9 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered. SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 2 group 10 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered. SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 2 group 11 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered. SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 2 group 12 '+DBWR_DATA' size 50M; Database altered.
Run the below query in both the nodes of primary to find the newly added standby redlog files:
set lines 999 pages 999 col inst_id for 9999 col group# for 9999 col member for a60 col archived for a7 select * from (select '[ ONLINE REDO LOG ]' AS "REDOLOG FILE TYPE", a.inst_id AS inst_id, a.group#, b.thread#, b.sequence#, a.member, b.status, b.archived, (b.BYTES/1024/1024) AS SIZE_MB from gv$logfile a, gv$log b where a.group#=b.group# and a.inst_id=b.inst_id and b.thread#=(select value from v$parameter where name = 'thread') and a.inst_id=( select instance_number from v$instance) UNION select '[ STANDBY REDO LOG ]' AS "REDOLOG FILE TYPE", a.inst_id AS inst_id, a.group#, b.thread#, b.sequence#, a.member, b.status, b.archived, (b.BYTES/1024/1024) AS SIZE_MB from gv$logfile a, gv$standby_log b where a.group#=b.group# and a.inst_id=b.inst_id and b.thread#=(select value from v$parameter where name = 'thread') and a.inst_id=( select instance_number from v$instance)) order by 2,3;

Create pfile and password in primary and copy to standby servers.
SQL> create pfile='/tmp/initORCL1.ora' from spfile; File created. $ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=manager entries=5 force=y
Once the password file is copied to other node, rename the file with it’s respective $ORACLE_SID name. For example, Primary & Standby Node1’s password file name should be like orapwORCL1 and Primary & Standby Node2’s password file name should be like orapwORCL2
Create static listener in Oracle database home temporarily in the Standby Node1 and start it for active duplicate dataguard setup
cat listener.ora <-- Standby Node1 SID_LIST_LISTENER1 = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL_PRODRAC201) (ORACLE_HOME = /oradb/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1) (SID_NAME = ORCL1) ) ) LISTENER1 = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodrac201.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1525)) ) ) ADR_BASE_LISTENER1 = /oradb/app/oracle
Start the new listener:
lsnrctl start LISTENER1
Make the below tns entries in tnsnames.ora file of Oracle Database Home of all the Nodes in the cluster.
cat tnsnames.ora <-- All Nodes ORCL_PRODRAC1 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST= (LOAD_BALANCE = ON) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodscn101.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC1))) ORCL_PRODVIP101 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodvip101.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC1) (INSTANCE_NAME = ORCL1))) ORCL_PRODVIP102 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodvip102.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC1) (INSTANCE_NAME = ORCL2))) ORCL_PRODRAC2 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST= (LOAD_BALANCE = ON) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodscn201.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC2) (UR = A))) ORCL_PRODRAC201 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodrac201.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1525)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC2) (INSTANCE_NAME = ORCL1) (UR = A))) ORCL_PRODVIP201 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodvip201.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC2) (INSTANCE_NAME = ORCL1) (UR = A))) ORCL_PRODVIP202 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodvip202.oracledbwr.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL_PRODRAC2) (INSTANCE_NAME = ORCL2) (UR = A)))
Prepare Standby Site:-

Now stop the temporarily created listener and add the cluster parameters in standby and convert to two node RAC dataguard.
Stop the new listener:
lsnrctl stop LISTENER1
Create pfile from spfile and add the cluster parameters:
SQL> create pfile from spfile; File created. SQL> shut immediate
*.cluster_database_instances=2 *.cluster_database=true ORCL1.local_listener='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.1.224)(PORT=1521))' ORCL2.local_listener='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.1.225)(PORT=1521))' ORCL1.instance_number=1 ORCL2.instance_number=2 ORCL1.instance_name='ORCL1' ORCL2.instance_name='ORCL2' ORCL1.thread=1 ORCL2.thread=2 ORCL1.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1' ORCL2.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS2'
Copy the new pfile to Node2 of Standby and startup the instance in both the nodes
Environment variable setup on node1:
$ export ORACLE_SID=ORCL1 $ export ORACLE_HOME=/oradb/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1 $ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwORCL1 password=manager force=y $ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> startup mount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initORCL1.ora
Environment variable setup on node2:
$ export ORACLE_SID=ORCL2 $ export ORACLE_HOME=/oradb/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1 $ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwORCL2 password=manager force=y $ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> startup mount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initORCL2.ora
Register the database instances with CRS framework using this command:
$ srvctl add database -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -o /oradb/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1 $ srvctl add instance -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -i ORCL1 -n prodrac201 $ srvctl add instance -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -i ORCL2 -n prodrac202
Now the instances are registered with CRS, shutdown both the instance in standby and start using srvctl command
$ srvctl start database -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -o mount $ srvctl status database -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -v
Start the recovery process in Standby:
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Create spfile in ASM and point it using the pfile’s in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs location of both the nodes in Standby.
SQL> create spfile='+DBWR_DATA/ORCL_PRODRAC2/PARAMETERFILE/spfileORCL.ora' from pfile; File created.
Use the following command to check the status of all instances converted RAC database:
SQL> set lines 180 SQL> col INST_NAME for a80 SQL> select * from v$active_instances; INST_NUMBER INST_NAME ------------ ------------------------------------------- 1 prodrac201.oracledbwr.com:ORCL1 2 prodrac202.oracledbwr.com:ORCL2
In Node1 & Node2 of Standby:-
$ cat initORCL1.ora spfile='+DBWR_DATA/ORCL_PRODRAC2/PARAMETERFILE/spfileORCL.ora'
$ cat initORCL2.ora spfile='+DBWR_DATA/ORCL_PRODRAC2/PARAMETERFILE/spfileORCL.ora'
Now shutdown both the instances and startup anyone of the instance using the spfile from ASM and start the media recovery:-
Here, I am starting Node1 of Standby and starting the Media Recovery Process in it to apply archivelog from both nodes of primary.
$ srvctl stop database -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 $ srvctl start instance -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -i ORCL1 -o mount $ srvctl status database -d ORCL_PRODRAC2 -v $ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
We can verify the sync between Primary(Node1 & Node2) and Standby(Node1) by switch logfile in primary and tail alert log from OS or query the alert log from sqlplus. Here, we go with the query.
In Primary – Node1:
SQL> alter system switch logfile; System altered.
In Standby – Node1:
