Session Id: 40056 Oracle Data Guard: Maximum Data Protection at Minimum Cost Ashish Ray Senior Product Manager Oracle Corporation Darl Kuhn Senior DBA, Staff Engineer Sun Microsystems Agenda Oracle Data Guard – a Quick Introduction Data Guard Features in Oracle Database 10g Customer Success Story – Sun Microsystems Summary & Q/A What is Oracle Data Guard? Oracle’s disaster recovery solution for Oracle data Feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition Automates the creation and maintenance of one or more transactionally consistent copies (standby) of the production (or primary) database If the primary database becomes unavailable (disasters, maintenance), a standby database can be activated and assume the primary role Oracle Data Guard Focus Data Failures & Site Disasters: – – – Data Protection Data Availability Data Recovery All 3 are important! Data is the core asset of the enterprise! • Also addresses human errors & planned maintenances Oracle Data Guard Architecture Physical Standby Database Sync or Async Redo Shipping Backup Production Database Redo Apply Network DIGITAL DATA STORAGE DIGITAL DATA STORAGE Broker Transform Redo to SQL Logical Standby Database SQL Apply Open for Reports Additional Indexes & MVs Data Guard Redo Apply Primary Database Data Guard Broker Physical Standby Database Redo Apply Network Redo Shipment Backup DIGITAL DATA STORAGE Standby Redo Logs Physical Standby Database is a block-for-block copy of the primary database Uses the database recovery functionality to apply changes Can be opened in read-only mode for reporting/queries Can also be used for backups, offloading production database Data Guard SQL Apply Additional Indexes & Materialized Views Primary Database Data Guard Broker Logical Standby Database Transform Redo to SQL and Apply Continuously Open for Reports Network Redo Shipment Logical Standby Database is an open, independent, active database Standby Redo Logs Contains the same logical information (rows) as the production database Physical organization and structure can be very different Can host multiple schemas Can be queried for reports while logs are being applied via SQL Can create additional indexes and materialized views for better query performance Agenda Oracle Data Guard – a Quick Introduction Data Guard Features in Oracle Database 10g Customer Success Story – Sun Microsystems Summary & Q/A Oracle Data Guard 10g Objectives Establish Data Guard as an extremely – – – – easy-to-use low-cost comprehensive reliable Disaster Recovery solution for enterprise data Overview of Objectives Ease of use – simplified SQL, easy to create, manage and administer standby databases, simplified GUI focused on best practices Low cost – businesses can leverage existing resources to implement Data Guard, zero integration costs Comprehensive – feature-rich and flexible Reliable – a rock-solid solution for protection of mission critical business data Data Guard 10g New Features General new features – – Real Time Apply Flashback Database Integration SQL Apply new features – – – Zero Downtime Instantiation Rolling Upgrades Additional Datatypes Data Guard Broker & Enterprise Manager new features – – RAC integration Simplified browser-based interface focused on best practices Real Time Apply Redo data is applied to the standby database as soon as it is received from the primary database – In Oracle9i Data Guard this apply has to wait till an archivelog is created on the standby database For Redo Apply: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE For SQL Apply: ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE When real time apply is enabled, RECOVERY_MODE column in V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS displays “MANAGED REAL TIME APPLY” Real Time Apply Architecture An up-to-date Physical/Logical Standby Database Oracle Net Transactions LGWR Online Redo Logs Primary Database MRP/ LSP RFS Standby Redo Logs ARCH Real Time Apply ARCH Archived Redo Logs Archived Redo Logs Real Time Apply – Benefits Standby databases now more closely synchronized with the primary – – More up-to-date, real-time reporting Faster switchover and failover times Reduces planned and unplanned downtime Better Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for DR Existing Site Recovery Tradeoffs Primary Database Standby Database Redo Shipment Delayed Apply Log apply may be delayed to protect from user errors but: – Switchover/Failover gets delayed – Reports run on old data After failing over to standby, production DB must be rebuilt Reporting on delayed data Flashback Database A new strategy for point in time recovery Eliminate the need to restore a whole database backup Integrated seamlessly with RMAN – – Think of it as a continuous backup Restores just changed blocks It’s fast - recover in minutes, not hours It’s easy - single command restore RMAN> FLASHBACK DATABASE TIMESTAMP to_timestamp ('2003-08-15 16:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'); Enhanced DR with Flashback Database Primary Database Redo Shipment Real Time Apply Standby Database Real Time Reporting No Delay! Flashback Log Flashback Log Primary: No reinstantiation after failover! Flashback DB removes the need to delay application of logs Flashback DB removes the need to reinstantiate primary after failover Real-time apply enables real-time reporting on standby SQL Apply: Zero Downtime Instantiation Logical standby database can now be created from an online backup of the primary database, without shutting down or quiescing the primary database – No shutdown implies no downtime of production system – No quiesce implies no wait on quiesce and no dependence on Resource Manager Rolling Upgrades Upgrade Redo Clients A Version X 1 B Logs Queue Version X Initial SQL Apply Config A X 2 X+1 Upgrade node B to X+1 Redo Upgrade B Redo A B X+1 X+1 4 Switchover to B, upgrade A A X 3 B X+1 Run in mixed mode to test Patch Set Upgrades Major Release Upgrades Cluster Software & Hardware Upgrades SQL Apply: Additional Data Types SQL Apply now supports the following additional data types: – – – – – – – Multi-byte CLOB NCLOB LONG LONG RAW BINARY_FLOAT BINARY_DOUBLE IOT-s (without overflows and without LOB columns) Allows logical standby databases to recover and protect a wider variety of data, thus increasing the overall database protection and recovery options for Data Guard Enterprise Manager New Features Streamlined browser-based interface that enables complete standby database lifecycle management Focus on: – – – Ease of use Management based on best practices Pre-built integration with other HA features RAC Support – Broker Now possible to use the Broker to create and manage configurations that contain RAC primary and RAC standby databases Data Guard Broker interfaces with Oracle Clusterware such that it has control over critical operations during specific Data Guard state transitions – Switchovers, failovers, protection mode changes, state changes RAC Primary Two standby dbs Instance specific Example – Ease of Use Switchover using Enterprise Manager is now literally two mouse clicks Switched! Agenda Oracle Data Guard – a Quick Introduction Data Guard & Features in Oracle Database 10g Customer Success Story – Sun Microsystems Summary & Q/A Case Study Oracle Data Guard at Sun Microsystems Darl Kuhn Senior DBA, Staff Engineer Business decision considerations Architecture Implementation Features we use Project Requirements Patch and Knowledge databases for Sun Support Services 7x24 High Availability – – Minimize scheduled downtime Minimize unscheduled downtime Disaster Recovery (DR) protection Do more with less resources Minimize costs Minimize complexity Solutions We Investigated Backup the database, restore from tape Operating System failover Remote Mirroring Quest’s SharePlex Oracle Advanced Replication (OAR) Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) Oracle Data Guard (Standby) We Chose Data Guard 7x24 DR protection Simple to implement Requires DBA with B&R skills Didn’t need special System Administration skills or consultants Low maintenance (do more w/less DBAs) No extra licensing (built into Oracle9i) Implementation Decisions Which data protection mode? – – – Maximum Protection Maximum Availability Maximum Performance We chose Maximum Performance Two identical servers Directory structures the same Database name the same Introduce a delay in application of redo Maximum Performance Primary Database Production Site Standby Database Server . Users Fetch Archive Log (FAL) Remote File Server (RFS) Copied Copied Archive Archive Redo Redo Oracle Net Primary Database LGWR Managed Recovery Process (MRP) On-line Online Redo Redo ARCn Local Local Archive Archive Redo Redo Standby Database Database Architecture 50M archive redo logs 1 Gig of redo per day Primary in Colorado Standbys in North Carolina, Holland and Singapore Database size currently 60 Gig Hardware Sun 6500, 280R, 4500 Storage T3 partner pair fiber channel Implementation of Physical Standby 1. Ensure primary database is in archive log mode Note: In Data Guard 10g, you also need to implement a password file for both Primary and Standby 2. Take backup of primary database datafiles – options: • • • • RMAN Hot Cold Do not backup controlfiles or online redo logs Using RMAN to Build Standby On Primary: a) RMAN> backup database; b) Copy backup pieces to Standby c) Create a Standby controlfile and copy to Standby Then on Standby: a) b) c) d) SQL> startup nomount; SQL> alter database mount standby database; RMAN> restore database; SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect; Implementation of Physical Standby 3. Copy backup datafiles to standby server 4. Create a standby controlfile 5. Copy the standby controlfile to standby server 6. Configure primary init.ora or spfile 7. Copy primary database init.ora file to standby server and make modifications for standby database 8. Configure Oracle Net Implementation of Physical Standby 9. Startup and mount standby database SQL> startup nomount; SQL> alter database mount standby database; Startup syntax is simplified in Oracle Data Guard 10g SQL> startup mount; In Data Guard 10g, the “startup” will put the Standby into read-only mode SQL> startup; Implementation of Physical Standby 10. Enable managed recovery mode on Standby SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect; Troubleshooting $ tail –f alert_BRDSTN.log Almost all problems encountered were: – – TNS set up incorrectly Initialization parameters set wrong Preventing User Errors Logs copied but not applied for 60 minutes Used to have to manually script this SQL> alter database recover managed standby database delay 60 disconnect; To disable delay: SQL> alter database recover managed standby database nodelay; Use of Read-Only Standby 7x24 business requirement for knowledge reporting Primary database batch loaded once a day How do we ensure that there will always be a database available? – – Create two (or more) Standby databases Shut down one at a time, apply redo Use of Read-Only Standby Primary Database Production Site Two Separate Read-Only Standby Database Servers . Oracle Net Daily Batch Load l3srv1 Standby 1 brdstn Reports Primary Database ARCn l3srv2 Standby 2 brdstn Use of Read-Only Standby Let Oracle Net connection figure out which read-only physical Standby database available brdstn= (DESCRIPTION = (LOAD_BALANCE=on) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=l3srv1)(PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=l3srv2)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=brdstn)) ) Disaster Happens… Haven’t had a “complete disaster”… yet We have had bad hardware cause failovers We were able to easily failover to Standby SQL> alter database activate standby database; In Data Guard 9i, we keep 9i Primary init.ora on Standby In Data Guard 10g, VALID_FOR eliminates this need Archive Gap Management This is one of our favorite Data Guard 9i features Addresses critical issues such as: – – What if network or server is down? After failure resolution, how is the standby caught up? In Oracle8i Standby Database, we would manually fix In Oracle9i: – – – Data Guard has automatic methods for gap resolution Fetch Archive Log (FAL) processes In our experience, very reliable Propagation of Datafile Operations Another task automated in Data Guard 9i In Oracle8i Standby Database, add/drop tablespace/datafile commands not automatically propagated – DBA had to intervene In Oracle9i Data Guard – – Fully automated In Standby initialization file: standby_file_management = auto Propagation of Datafile Operations Example: SQL> drop tablespace HRM_SALA including contents and datafiles; On standby the tablespace HRM_SALA will be automatically dropped and all datafiles will be deleted from disk Note: If you rename a datafile, DBA must intervene Oracle Data Guard 10g Beta Feedback Logical Standby easier to setup Simplified SQL syntax More helpful, feature-rich initialization parameters Agenda Oracle Data Guard – a Quick Introduction Data Guard & Features in Oracle Database 10g Customer Success Story – Sun Microsystems Summary & Q/A Maximum Availability Architecture Best Practices on: General Data Guard configuration Redo data transport mechanisms Protection modes Switchover/Failover Media recovery SQL Apply configuration Network configuration Integration with other HA technologies White papers1: MAA – detailed Media Recovery Site/Network configuration Fast-Start Checkpointing SQL Apply Best Practices Role Management 1.
