Agenda
Data Protection and High Availability Improve Performance using Idle Redundancy Address Advanced Replication Requirements

Problem: Data Loss and Downtime

Actual Service Request from a Retail Brokerage Firm

ORA-01251 - Corrupted file header. This could be caused due to missed read or write or hardware problem or process external to oracle overwriting the information in file header.

Data Protection and High Availability

For All Outages, Regardless of Cause

Site outage due to large-scale disasters

Fire, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes . . .

Local outages that occur more frequently

Faulty system components Data corruptions Backup/recovery of bad data Wrong batch job Operator errors Planned maintenance Faulty HW/SW installations, upgrades

Data Guard Provides Best Protection

Better Isolation, Continuous Validation

FEATURE Transmit directly from memory Standby uses different code path Multiple Oracle corruption checks Detect silent corruptions Standby is always on

BENEFIT Isolate I/O corruptions Isolate firmware/software errors Data is logically and physically consistent Data protection unique in the industry Known state ready for production

What Did the Brokerage Firm Do?

They had a Data Guard standby database

Corruptions isolated to the primary database Zero data loss failover over to standby database Resumed operation in minutes Investigated & resolved h/w problems with no impact

Polling Question
Has a storage failure ever resulted in unplanned downtime for your critical databases? Yes No

Data Protection AND High Availability

Data Guard Automatic Failover

Events that trigger an automatic database failover:

Data Guard Observer
SYNC / ASYNC

Database down Designated health-check conditions Request from application

Automatic redirection of client connections to new primary

Site A
Primary

Site B
Standby

Integrated role-based services Automatically start/stop services Fast Application Notification (FAN)
