RMAN Database Restore ASM

RMAN Database Restore ASM

Description:
In this blog, we are going to see take RMAN backup in asm storage and restore the database to another server.

RMAN Restore ASM:
Take the backup using RMAN in source host copy the backup into destination host, using that backup files to restore the database.

Overall Steps:

Source server:
1. Backup Database using RMAN
2. Create pfile from spfile
3. Copy the backup files to the destination server

Destination server:
1. Edit pfile
2. Create Required Folders in destination server
3. Add the database entry in oratab
4. Startup using pfile Nomount stage
5. Restore control file
6. Mount database
7. Catalog backup pieces
8. Restore and recover the database
9. Change dbname/DBID uisng NID
10. verify the database name and id.

Source Server:

Step 1: Take backup using RMAN:

Create backup directory:

Backup script:
run {
allocate channel t1 type disk;
allocate channel t1 type disk;
allocate channel t1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0 database format ‘/u01/share/backup/database_%d_%u_%s’;
release channel t1;
}
sql ‘alter system archive log current’;
run {
allocate channel a1 type disk;
backup archivelog all format ‘/u01/share/backup/arch_%d_%u_%s’;
release channel a1;
}
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup current controlfile format ‘/u01/share/backup/Control_%d_%u_%s’;
release channel c1;
}
exit

Connect RMAN and execute the script:

[oracle@asm ~]$ rman target /

Oracle Wait Events And Their Solutions

Oracle Wait Events And Their Solutions.

Buffer Busy Wait:

This wait event happens when a session tries to access a block in the buffer cache but it can't because the buffer is busy, that is another session is modifying the block and the contents of the block are in flux.

Buffer Busy Wait:

SQL> SELECT s.sql_hash_value, sw.p1 file#, sw.p2 block#, sw.p3 reason
FROM v$session_wait sw, v$session s
WHERE sw.event = 'buffer busy waits'
AND sw.sid = s.sid; 

no rows selected
SQL> SELECT  owner , segment_name , segment_type
FROM  dba_extents
WHERE  file_id = &FileNumber
AND  &BlockNumber BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks -1;  2    3    4
Enter value for filenumber: 1
old   3: WHERE  file_id = &FileNumber
new   3: WHERE  file_id = 1
Enter value for blocknumber: 2
old   4: AND  &BlockNumber BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks -1
new   4: AND  2 BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks -1

no rows selected

Another query that can be very useful is finding the objects in the entire Oracle database that are suffering from "buffer busy waits". The following query gives the top 10 segments:
SQL> SELECT * FROM (
   SELECT owner, object_name, subobject_name, object_type,
          tablespace_name, value
   FROM v$segment_statistics
   WHERE statistic_name='buffer busy waits' and owner not like '%SYS%'
   ORDER BY value DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <=10;

OWNER                OBJECT_NAME                    SUBOBJECT_NAME                 OBJECT_TYPE        TABLESPACE_NAME                  VALUE
-------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------------------ ----------
GSMADMIN_INTERNAL    DDLID$                                                        TABLE              SYSAUX                               0
XDB                  XDB$ROOT_INFO                                                 TABLE              SYSAUX                               0
XDB                  XDB$SCHEMA_URL                                                INDEX              SYSAUX                               0

DB File Sequential Read

The db file sequential read wait event has three parameters:
file#, first block#, and block count.
In Oracle Database 11g, this wait event falls under the User I/O wait class. 


The Oracle process wants a block that is currently not in the SGA, and it is waiting for the database block to be read into the SGA from disk.

The two important numbers to look for are the TIME_WAITED and AVERAGE_WAIT by individual sessions.

Significant db file sequential read wait time is most likely an application issue.


This event occurs when a user tries to perform a Physical I/O while waiting for sequential reads from the Buffer cache. This type of situation usually occurs when the data on the table is accessed by using index, not full table scan, as a result of single block reading.
If this event occurs,  possible reasons are wrong index usage, index fragmentation, excessive I/O traffic on specific disks. To Solve this problem, Query should use Right index and fragmented indexes should be defragmented with Rebuild Index operation.
When you encounter this wait event, which appears very frequently in AWR and ADDM reports, we cannot always say that there is a problem. However, if this wait event takes place, if the database have ‘Enqueue’ and Latch Free and they are spending too much time, then database should be monitored.

 DB File Scattered Read

This wait event occurs getting multiblock of physical blocks that are not physically close to each other (neighbors) into buffer cache Scattered, or during a full scan to the buffer cache. So Db file scattered read is to read multiple blocks I/O during the fast full scan.

A scattered read is usually a multiblock read. It can occur for a fast full scan (of an index) in addition to a full table scan. The db file scattered read wait event identifies that a full scan is occurring. When performing a full scan into the buffer cache, the blocks read are read into memory locations that are not physically adjacent to each other.

Multiblock (up to DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT blocks) reads due to full scans into the buffer cache show up as waits for 'db file scattered read'.

Direct path Read

 This event occurs when Oracle Instance query data from the Datafiles asynchronously and puts this data into PGA  instead of Buffer Cache in SGA.
This type of event usually occurs during the use of Temporary ( Temp ) Tablespace in the Sorting operations, during the creation of Lob segments, and when multiple sessions Full table scan in parallel.
In order to solve this problem, the memory should be increased, parallel operations should not be done unless required, and pay attention to Lob segments reads.

 DB CPU

This event represents the total time spent of the users’ queries on the CPU.  Oracle’s Background processes (SMON, PMON ..) are not included in this total time.
If this value is high, it means that the Oracle instance spends most of the time on the CPU. To reduce this wait event, the SQLs in the SQL ordered by CPU section in the AWR report must be TUNE.

Logfile sync

 This event is known as the time lost as a result of the LGWR process waiting while users initiate a Transaction Commit or Rollback.
If this wait event is available continuously, I/O performance of the LGWR process is probably poor, or Commit is coming too often by the application. The solution to this problem is not to commit too much, if necessary, and to examine the I/O performance of the disk on which the Redo log files are located, and to use a high performance disk such as an SSD disk if necessary.

Enq: TX – row lock contention

 row lock contention:  This type of event occurs when a user session is trying to update or delete a row held by another session, which is an application design problem. Normally, when a transaction is finished, commit or rollback must be executed to release related rows.
The solution to this problem is that if the session that holds the row is active, then execute commit statement, if it is not active, kill the session or execute rollback the session.

ARCH wait on SENDREQ

This wait event is the total time taken by the Archiver Processes to archive the Standby in the Dataguard and to write these archives to the local disks.
The main reason why this value is high is that the archives sent to the Standby side arrive late due to the network. To solve this problem, it is necessary to optimize the Network and set the DEFAULT_SDU_SIZE parameter in the sqlnet.ora file to an optimized value (32767).

 Gc current block busy

 This wait event occurs between the nodes of the Cluster database ( Real Application Cluster ). When a transaction requests a block, that request sent to the master instance. Normally, this request is performed by a cache fusion.
However, in some cases, this block transfer is delayed because the corresponding instance is held by the other instance or because the corresponding transaction records cannot be written to the redo logs immediately, in which case this wait event is triggered.
This can be solved by tune the wait event Log Writer process or Solving network problem between Cluster nodes.

 Gc cr block busy-wait

ifference is that while the above event is running in current mode, this wait event runs in CR mode. This can be solved by tune the wait event Log Writer process.

Read by Other Session

When a session waits on the "read by other session" event, it indicates a wait for another session to read the data from disk into the Oracle buffer cache. If this happens too often the performance of the query or the entire database can suffer. Typically this is caused by contention for "hot" blocks or objects so it is imperative to find out which data is being contended for. Once that is known, there are several alternative methods for solving the issue.
When information is requested from the database, Oracle will first read the data from disk into the database buffer cache. If two or more sessions request the same information, the first session will read the data into the buffer cache while other sessions wait. In previous versions this wait was classified under the "buffer busy waits" event. However, in Oracle 10.1 and higher this wait time is now broken out into the "read by other session" wait event. Excessive waits for this event are typically due to several processes repeatedly reading the same blocks, e.g. many sessions scanning the same index or performing full table scans on the same table. Tuning this issue is a matter of finding and eliminating this contention.

Finding the contentions :
When a session is waiting on the "read by other session" event, an entry will be seen in the v$session_wait system view, which will give more information on the blocks being waited for: SELECT p1 "file#", p2 "block#", p3 "class#" FROM v$session_wait WHERE event = 'read by other session'; If information collected from the above query repeatedly shows that the same block (or range of blocks) is experiencing waits, this indicates a "hot" block or object. The following query will give the name and type of the object: SELECT relative_fno, owner, segment_name, segment_type FROM dba_extents WHERE file_id = &file AND &block BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks - 1;
Eliminating contentions: Depending on the Oracle database environment and specific performance situation the following variety of methods can be used to eliminate contention: Tune inefficient queries - This is one of those events you need to "catch in the act" through the v$session_wait view as prescribed above. Then, since this is a disk operating system issue, take the associated system process identifier (c.spid) and see what information you can obtain from the operating system. Redistribute data from the hot blocks - Deleting and reinserting the hot rows will often move them to a new data block. This will help decrease contention for the hot block and increase performance. More information about the data residing within the hot blocks can be retrieved with queries similar to the following: SELECT data_object_id FROM dba_objects WHERE owner='&owner' AND object_name='&object'; SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_create(1,<data_object_id>,<relative_fno>,<block>,0) start_rowid FROM dual; --rowid for the first row in the block SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_create(1,<data_object_id>,<relative_fno>,<block>,500) end_rowid FROM dual; --rowid for the 500th row in the block SELECT <column_list> FROM <owner>.<segment_name> WHERE rowid BETWEEN <start_rowid> AND <end_rowid>

RUNNING  GATHERSTATS

RUNNING  GATHERSTATS

Description:
         In this blog, we are going to see what has gathered stats and various levels of gather stats.

What is GATHERSTATS:
          To gather stats in oracle we require to use the DBMS_STATS package. It will collect the statistics in parallel with collecting the global statistics for partitioned objects. The DBMS_STATS package is specially used only for optimizer statistics. As I explained in the first paragraph the dbms_stats is very vital for good SQL performance. We require to gather the stats before adjusting or setting up any optimizer parameters in oracle.

         The less the query cost the execution time of the query is fast. We must have to gather the statistics on regular basis for database objects to give the best information to the Oracle optimizer to run queries in the best possible time. Using the analysis statement is the traditional way of checking the cost of the query. But nowadays to gather stats in oracle we need to use the DBMS_STATS package.

Gather STATS:

CASCADE => TRUE: Gather statistics on the indexes as well. If not used 
Oracle will determine whether to collect it or not.

DEGREE => 4: Degree of parallelism.
ESTIMATE_PERCENT => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE : (DEFAULT) Auto set
the sample size % for skew(distinct) values (accurate and faster than
setting a manual sample size).

METHOD_OPT=> : For gathering Histograms:
FOR COLUMNS SIZE AUTO: You can specify one column between “”
instead of all columns.

FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE REPEAT: Prevent deletion of histograms and collect
it only for columns that already have histograms.

FOR ALL COLUMNS: Collect histograms on all columns.
FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE SKEWONLY: Collect histograms for columns that have
skewed values should test skewness first

FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS: Collect histograms for columns that
have indexes only.

DATABASE Level:

      Gathering statistics for all objects in the database, the cascade 
will include indexes

will include indexes.If not used Oracle will determine whether to
collect it or not.

Enter value for schema_name: vbt

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Oracle 12c to 19c upgrade using AutoUpgrade Method

In this blog, we will see how to upgrade Oracle Database 12c to 19c using AutoUpgrade Tool

What is the AutoUpgrade?

  • The Oracle Database AutoUpgrade utility is a small command-line tool that allows you to upgrade your databases very easily with very little interaction
  • The new AutoUpgrade utility in Oracle 19¢ performs almost 99% of the task by itself, we just have to provide inputs during the initial phase
  • So it performs Prechecks against multiple databases, upgrades multiple databases in one go
  • Also, it does Post upgrade, object recompilation, and time zone up-gradation
  • The only thing you need to provide is a contig file in text format

Which database releases are supported?

  • As a source, the minimum version is Oracle Database 11.2.0.4. onwards

Download the latest auto-upgrade jar file

  • Auto upgrade utility autoupgrade.jar file exists by default under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory of Oracle 19c Home
  • Oracle strongly recommends downloading the latest AutoUpgrade version before doing the upgrade
  • You download the most recent version from MOS Note: 2485487.1  AutoUpgrade Tool
  • Once you download this jar file transfer it to the Server and create a new directory and place this file in that directory

cp -r autoupgrade.jar /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/

Java version:

  • Java version should be 8 or later, which is available by default in Oracle Database homes from release 12.1.0.2 and latest

Create the config file

  • Create New Directory Which will contain your config file and logs
  • mkdir /home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c

Run Below command to create sample config file which we will use to make final config file.

  • cd /home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c
  • $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file_config
  • cp sample_config.cfg prod_db_config.cfg
  • Make necessary changes

Modify the config file according to your env

prddb_config.cfg file should have following entry which specifies source and target database home location and DB name and log locations and other information’s:

global.autoupg_log_dir=/home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c/upg_logs
upg1.dbname=PRDDB
upg1.start_time=NOW
upg1.source_home=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db_1
upg1.target_home=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1
upg1.sid=PRDDB
upg1.log_dir=/home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c/upg_logs/PRDDB
upg1.upgrade_node=orclagent.localdomain
upg1.target_version=19.12
upg1.run_utlrp=yes
upg1.timezone_upg=yes

Analyze the database using modified config file

Auto upgrade Analyze mode checks your database to see if it is ready for the upgrade. This will reads data from the database and does not perform any updates.

Execute AutoUpgrade in analyze mode with the below syntax:

export ORACLE HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin

cd /home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/autoupgrade.jar -config prddb_config.cfg -mode ANALYZE

We can monitor, manage and control the jobs from the autoupgrade console.

  • lsj – to list the jobs
  • status – to show the job status
  • tasks – shows the tasks executing

Crosscheck and verify all logs before proceeding further

Deploy the upgrade and monitor

  • Auto upgrade Deploy mode performs the actual upgrade of the database from pre-upgrade source database analysis to post-upgrade checks.
  • Before starting Deploy make sure you have taken a backup of your database.

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/autoupgrade.jar -config
prod_db_config.cfg -mode DEPLOY

  • Once the upgrade process is started consider monitoring the logs and database alert logs to see the progress of the upgrade. Auto upgrade logs are available under

/home/oracle/auto_upgrade_19c/upg_logs/

Once the upgrade finishes crosscheck the below.

SELECT VERSION FROM V$TIMEZONE_FILE;
select name, open_mode, version, status from v$database, v$instance;

Post-upgrade task

  • Once the upgrade is successful and all testing is done, drop the restore point.
  • Drop the Guaranteed restore point

select name from v$restore_point;
drop restore point restorepoint_name;

  • Change the compatible parameter
  • After the upgrade, the database has to be tested properly before updating the compatible parameter. Once the parameter is updated database cannot be downgraded.

show parameter compatible;
alter system set compatible=’19.0.0′ scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate:
startup;
show parameter compatible;
