ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted in Active Standby Database

My database is Active Data Guard environment and it was running in 11.2.0.3 version.

The Standby alert log file was throwing the error message.

ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 4, block # 171)
ORA-01110: data file 4: '/data01/oradata/edcreport_f01.dbf'
ORA-26040: Data block was loaded using the NOLOGGING option

The root cause was,  accidentally  we enabled NO LOGGING mode in primary database and we are creating the reporting temp table with nologging mode for mid night report. This caused data file corruption  in standby database.

I use DEV environment to demonstrate this exercise.

My primary database is devdb12 and standby database is devdb12_dg.

Step 1 Change the primary database to NO FORCE LOGGING  mode.

sys@devdb12> alter database no force logging;

Database altered.

Step 2 create the table in primary database with unrecoverable mode.

sys@devdb12> CREATE TABLE scott.GT UNRECOVERABLE AS (SELECT * FROM dba_objects) ;

Table created.

Step 3  Read the table in standby database.

sys@devdb12_dg> select count(*) from scott.gt;
select count(*) from scott.gt
                           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 4, block # 171)
ORA-01110: data file 4: '/data01/oradata/devdb12/users01.dbf'
ORA-26040: Data block was loaded using the NOLOGGING option


sys@devdb12_dg>

How do we fix the above issue?

Step 1 On primary database, copy the file to /data01/stage location. The tablespace should be in backup mode.

Alter tablespace users begin backup;
# copy the file to /data01/stage
# cp /data01/oradata/devdb12/users01.dbf /data01/stage
Alter tablespace users end backup;








Step 2    scp the data file from primary database to standby database.

scp /data01/stage/users01.dbf oracle@10.156.24.169:/data01/stage






Step 3 Move the data file to correct file system on standby database. Login to standby database(devdb12_dg) and follow the below steps.

mv /data01/oradata/devdb12/users01.dbf /data01/oradata/devdb12/users01.dbf.x
mv /data01/stage/users01.dbf /data01/oradata/devdb12/users01.dbf






Step 4 Restart the standby database.

shutdown immediate
startup mount
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
alter database open;
alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;














Step 5   Verify that the block corruption is resolved in standby database.








Note :  The above steps works when the standby data file is deleted by human error. One important note is, when the broker is enabled, the MRP will start automatically when the standby database is mounted. After mount the standby, need to watch out the standby alert log and see if broker enable the Managed recovery. Ignore the below RED part if you don’t have broker.

shutdown immediate
startup mount
Watch the alert log and see MRP is enabled by broker. If so, then
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
alter database open;
alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;

Lesson learned :  Primary database should be FORCE LOGGING mode. Otherwise, it will correct the data file in standby database if application creates the table with  NO LOGGING option.

Duplicate the Standby Database from Standby database backup

Scenario :  The standby site is crashed or unavailable and need to restore from another standby without touching the primary site. This post also will be useful who wants to duplicate the  standby site  from primary database backup on data guard environment. 

The below steps are worked well on my production environment. But i do not recommend to use the below script in your environment unless you change the scripts(instance name, DB name, host name, directory name etc) and test in test environment. 

For security reason, i used XXXXX for hiding my host name, instance name, directory names.  Also i am using DEVDB for hiding the instance name.

My instance names are devdb12(primary), devdb12_dg(first standby), devdb12_dr(second standby).  Now devdb12_dg is crashed or unavailable. The goal is to restore devdb12_dg from other standby site(devdb12_dr). My environment has no ASM disks. 

Prerequisite : 

Oracle software should be installed and version should be same as other site.
The directory structure  and  file system size  should be same as other site.


Step 1

Create pfile from spfile on working standby site and copy to new standby site. Modify the pfile parameter(instance name, DG parameter etc) according to new standby location. Copy the password file, wallet file from standby location to new standby location.

Step 2

Take L0 backup on working standby site and copy the RMAN backup files to new standby site.  I am backing up the RMAN backup files under /backup file system. We will have to copy the backup files to same file system(/backup) on the new standby site.  If you do not have same file system in new standby site, then you have to use the BACKUP LOCATION option on the restore command. Please review this link to find details for different options.

Sample RMAN backup script is as below.  DO NOT USE this in your environment without making the changes(directory location, instance name etc).  I am using 8 channel for RMAN backup. However, i will let you choose the number of channel according to your server CPU power.  We can also restore the database from tape.. please refer this link just in case if you don't prefer to backup the database in working standby site. Restore from tape.

Step   Make sure, all the directories in new standby site is same as other node.

Step 4   Start the instance without mounting.

startup nomount pfile= initdevdb12_dg.ora

Step 5   Create spfile and start the instance again with spfile

create spfile from pfile= spfiledevdb12_dg.ora

shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;

Step 6 Check the RMAN connection between new standby to  working standby site. This script will make sure, no connection issues between two sites. Make sure, you setup tnsnames.ora, listener.ora file on new standby site.  Auxiliary site(XXXXXXX_dg) is new standby site. Target site(XXXXXXX_dr) is existing standby site.

  allocate auxiliary channel stby6 type disk;
  allocate auxiliary channel stby7 type disk;
  allocate auxiliary channel stby8 type disk;
    }
 exit
EOF

Step 7 Restore the new standby.  Auxiliary site is new standby site. Target site is existing standby site.

file name :  rman_standby_to_standby.sh

You need to run the script in background mode.. In my production environment, it took 10 hours to complete with 8 Channel.  My database size was 10TB.

DT=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`
export DT
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman msglog=rman_create_standby_XXXXXXX_dg_${DT}.log <

  allocate auxiliary channel stby8 type disk;
  DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER NOFILENAMECHECK;
  }
 exit
EOF

The restore log file should be as below.  

Note :  The log file size is huge and several pages. Hence i trimmed the log file size to smaller. I removed many lines in the middle of log file.

RMAN>

Recovery Manager complete.

Step 8 Copy the archive logs from sequence# 90430 to sequence# 90550 (actually only up to 90545). Use SCP to Copy the archive log from working standby(devdb12_dr) to devdb12_dg site.

Step 9 Recover the database.

Standby database is in mount state

alter database recover standby database until cancel

You may want to give few archive log files manually and then put AUTO for recovery Watch alert log in another window

It will recover standby database until last archive log file which is in as defined by parameter log_archive_dest_1  - in our case it was /dbArch01/XXXXXXX and media recovery will fail – this is expected

Step 10  Make the changes on Data Guard Parameter on primary as well as other standby.
You need to change the parameter according to your environment. 

On new standby(devdb12_dg) : 

alter system set  db_unique_name='devdb12_dg' scope=spfile;
alter system set  instance_name='devdb12_dg' scope=spfile;
alter system set log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=devdb12 LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12 VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_dest_3 = 'SERVICE=devdb12_dr  LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12_dr VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_config = 'dg_config=(devdb12,devdb12_dg,devdb12_dr)';
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_4 = 'ENABLE';
alter system set standby_file_management = 'AUTO';
alter system set log_archive_max_processes=5;
alter system set fal_client=devdb12_dg;
alter system set fal_server=devdb12,devdb12_dr ;

On working standby(devdb12_dr) :

alter system set log_archive_config = 'DG_CONFIG=(devdb12,devdb12_dg,devdb12_dr)' scope=both;
alter system set log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=devdb12_dg LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12_dg VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_dest_3 = 'SERVICE=devdb12 LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12 VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_max_processes=5;
alter system set fal_client=devdb12_dr;
alter system set fal_server=devdb12_dg,devdb12 scope=both;
alter system switch logfile;

On Primary(devdb12) :

alter system set log_archive_config = 'DG_CONFIG=(devdb12,devdb12_dg,devdb12_dr)' scope=both;
alter system set log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=devdb12_dg LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12_dg VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_dest_3 = 'SERVICE=devdb12_dr LGWR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=devdb12_dr VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILE,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
alter system set log_archive_max_processes=5;
alter system set fal_client=devdb12;
alter system set fal_server=devdb12_dg,devdb12_dr scope=both;
alter system switch logfile;

Step 11  Create the temp file same as other standby node.

alter tablespace temp add tempfile '/oratemp01/oradata/XXXXXXX/temp01.dbf' size 16G;

Step 12  Create the standby redo log file same as other standby node.

Create standby logs on new standby database – by default oracle will create one standby redo log – which you can drop

alter database drop STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 6;

ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 6  ('/redo01/oradata/XXXXXXX/std_redo01.log') SIZE 300M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 7  ('/redo02/oradata/XXXXXXX/std_redo02.log') SIZE 300M;
