Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Standby database foible
Allright listers,
I have been experimenting with creating a standby database for our
production server. After moving all the required files files, configuring
the init files, and initiating recovery on the standby instance, I saw the
following error.
01547:warning RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below.
01152:file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
So apparently I mucked up my SYSTEM tablespace somehow in the interim. Here are the steps I followed. I am curious where I went wrong.
I twice started to bring up the standby database. both times I was able to issue 'startup nomount'. The first time I attempted to mount the standby database I was greeted with a message that the control file I was pointing to was not a standby control file. I had used the control file from my hot backup, instead of following my instructions. So shutdown the DB 'shutdown normal', and created a standby control file, copied it to the three control file locations on my standby box, and started again. 'startup nomount' went as expected, then I mounted the DB in stanby mode, and then issued the recover command. Upon this completing, I was greeted with the warning I quoted above.
In writing this I am pretty sure that I screwed myself up by issuing a 'shutdown normal' after my first mount attempt failed, but I figured I would go ahead and send this off to the list anyway.
