tablespace_segment_advisor

Filed under: oracle,performance — mdinh @ 2:41 am

I have been working on tasks for weekly tablespace segment advisor to shrink all segments residing in tablespace.

There are many blogs out there with the same info; however, it was not to the requirements and this is a combinations after research.

Here is a demo for 19c; however, the preparations have been tested in 11.2.

Minimal Downtime Grid Infrastructure Out of Place Patching

Filed under: 19c,Grid Infrastructure,Patching — mdinh @ 1:43 am

Looks like OOP is back again; however, I have not had the opportunity to test.

When you test, it’s important to test rollback as well.

GRID Out Of Place (OOP) Rollback Disaster

Steps for Minimal Downtime Grid Infrastructure Out of Place ( OOP ) Patching using gridSetup.sh (Doc ID 2662762.1)
May 13, 2020
Oracle Database – Enterprise Edition – Version 19.6.0.0.0 and later
This is applicable only for cluster environment,not the SIHA(Oracle Restart)

In general, the following steps are involved:

1) Installing and Patching the Grid infrastructure (software only)

/u01/app/19.7.0.0/grid/gridSetup.sh -ApplyRU 3089972
Chose the option “Install Software only” and select all the nodes.

2) Switching the Grid Infrastructure Home

Run the gridSetup.sh from the target home

/u01/app/19.7.0.0/grid/gridSetup.sh -SwitchGridhome

It will launch the GUI (you could run it in silent as well with a response file)

During this phase, you can select the automated root.sh option if you wanted. Otherwise it will prompt the root.sh.

Is creategoldimage really required?

Filed under: 19c,creategoldimage,upgrade — mdinh @ 10:28 pm

Typically, creategoldimage is used to create image for install or upgrade; however, creategoldimage is too BUGGY.

$GRID_HOME/gridSetup.sh -creategoldimage -exclFiles $ORACLE_HOME/log,$ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage -destinationlocation /u01/app/oracle/goldimage -silent

In the discussion with LDC, he was thinking of using tar and I did not know if tar will work.

Here’s the proof of concept that it works.

[FATAL] [INS-32700] The gold image creation failed for Grid 19.8

Filed under: 19c,creategoldimage,Grid Infrastructure — mdinh @ 6:27 pm

If you came here looking for solution, my apologies as I don’t have one.

If you came here looking for comfort, then I am here as you are not alone.

Honestly, it might just be easier to applyRU vs creategoldimage.

Rolling Upgrades Using Physical Standby and physru_v3.sh

Filed under: 19c,Dataguard,upgrade — mdinh @ 4:12 pm

I am not going to reiterate what is already out there; however, what is out there covers 12.1.0.2.0 vs 19.3.0.0.0.

Here is the syntax and what seems to be ambiguous is target version.

$./physru.sh &lt;sysdba user&gt; &lt;primary TNS alias&gt; &lt;physical standby TNS alias&gt; &lt;primary db unique name&gt; &lt;physical standby db unique name&gt; &lt;target version&gt;

NOTE: This is NOT all the steps for upgrade but only applicable steps when running physru.sh.

First physru execution completed successfully.

### First physru execution:
Verifies that Data Guard Broker is disabled and FRA is configured.
Creates a guaranteed restore point
Converts the existing Physical Standby to a Logical Standby

### Stage 1: Backup user environment in case rolling upgrade is aborted
Jul 30 20:06:31 2020 [1-1] database hawk location for backup controlfile is /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area
Jul 30 20:06:32 2020 [1-1] database hawk_stby location for backup controlfile is /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area

Jul 30 20:06:32 2020 [1-1] created backup control file /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/PRU_0003_hawk_f.f

NOTE: Restore point PRU_0000_0001 and backup control file PRU_0003_hawk_stby_f.f
can be used to restore hawk_stby back to its original state as a
physical standby, in case the rolling upgrade operation needs to be aborted
prior to the first switchover done in Stage 4.

### Stage 2: Create transient logical standby from existing physical standby

Jul 30 20:08:11 2020 [2-4] dictionary load is complete

Jul 30 20:08:15 2020 [2-4] apply lag measured at 3 seconds

NOTE: Database hawk_stby is now ready to be upgraded.  This script has left the
database open in case you want to perform any further tasks before
upgrading the database.  Once the upgrade is complete, the database must
opened in READ WRITE mode before this script can be called to resume the
rolling upgrade.

NOTE: If hawk_stby was previously a RAC database that was disabled, it may be
reverted back to a RAC database upon completion of the rdbms upgrade.
This can be accomplished by performing the following steps:

1) On instance hawk, set the cluster_database parameter to TRUE.
eg: SQL&gt; alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile;

2) Shutdown instance hawk.
eg: SQL&gt; shutdown abort;

3) Startup and open all instances for database hawk_stby.
eg: srvctl start database -d hawk_stby

oracle@ol7-112-dg2:hawk:/sf_working/upgrade19c

Second physru execution FAILED.

### Second physru execution to switchover (APPLICATION BROWNOUT):
Executes a switchover making the upgraded standby database the primary database.
Executes a flashback of the original primary database to the guaranteed restore point from step 1 and shuts it down.

database hawk_stby will become the new primary database, and database hawk
will be converted into a standby in preparation for upgrade.  If you answer
'n' to the question below, the script will exit, leaving the databases in
