    Post Graceful switchoer and switchback

    Guys,

    I have two oracle instances on my production box and just recently setup a dataguard. Guess what there are memory problems in production and now I have to do a switchover .

    As you can guess , I'm quite frantically looking around for best practices or a checklist documents to make sure it goes on well. As you can guess, we dont have a development instance / test instance yet due to cash crunches . Though I will get my test and dev boxes by end of the year .. I will have to do a switchover to justify getting my second standby box. Can you guys help me with some documention for 9i release 2.0 . my produciton and standby instances have same structuire and are on different nodes and is following up closesly.


    I have just jotted down a few things to do not necessarily in the right order :

    0. BAckup Controlfile to trace on both instances

    1. Modify SPFILE on Production for role reversal and create SPFILE on standy ( I now have a PFILE )

    2. Create logfiles on standby

    3. Create temp files (and rbs files(!) need to check this )

    4. Clear logs on production


    *****

    steps in order
    Use dataguard to do role reversal

    Anyone has a proper document ? Link to some document ?

    What's the ORA-600 argument? Post error logs.

    What do you mean? How did you set it? Where did you set it? What state was the db in when you set it?
