Oracle 11g DG手工switchover切换标准化流程
环境：RHEL 6.5 + Oracle GI 11.2.0.4 + Oracle DB 11.2.0.4
Primary RAC（2 nodes） + Standby RAC（2 nodes）
Oracle DG切换类型有两种：switchover和failover。对于switchover而言，是计划内的由DBA主动去执行的操作，所以它的操作步骤一定是可以形成标准化流程的。
本文就在我的实验环境下做一次基本的标准化switchover流程：
准备工作
切换前准备：最好可以先关闭主备库RAC的其他节点
我这里是分别关闭主备库的第二个节点：
PRIMARY NODE2'Instance
[grid@jyrac2 ~]$ srvctl stop instance -d jyzhao -i jyzhao2
STANDBY NODE2'Instance
[grid@jystdrac2 ~]$ srvctl stop instance -d mynas -i jyzhao2当然也可以SQLplus操作关闭其他节点的实例.
注：如果不关闭，正常切换时也会自动被关闭。只是为了防止某些环境有其他问题，手工先关闭其他实例可以方便排查。
1.主库切换为备库
1.主库切换为备库:

The primary database controlfile was created using the
'MAXLOGFILES 192' clause.
There is space for up to 188 standby redo logfiles
Use the following SQL commands on the standby database to create
standby redo logfiles that match the primary database:
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl1.f' SIZE 52428800;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl2.f' SIZE 52428800;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl3.f' SIZE 52428800;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl4.f' SIZE 52428800;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl5.f' SIZE 52428800;

Sun Aug 13 09:55:01 2017
Instance shutdown complete主要注意到正常应该有“End-Of-Redo Branch archival”字样，并且最终成功切换到standby，最后数据库是关闭的。
2.备库切换为主库
操作之前，可以看alert日志，也可以使用SQL查询是否可以切换：
select OPEN_MODE, DATABASE_ROLE, SWITCHOVER_STATUS, FORCE_LOGGING, DATAGUARD_BROKER, GUARD_STATUS from v$database;2.备库切换为主库:
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;如果因为活动会话无法关闭可以考虑加上with session shutdown选项。
查看备库alert日志：
Sun Aug 13 09:58:30 2017
alter database commit to switchover to primary
ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY (jyzhao1)
Maximum wait for role transition is 15 minutes.

ARC1: Becoming the 'no SRL' ARCH最后注意到备库成功切换到主库，启动到mount状态。
3.新主库open，新备库启动并开启MRP
上面已经完成了切换，这一步只是把新主库open，新备库启动并开启MRP:
--NEW PRIMARY:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
--NEW STANDBY:
STARTUP
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;4.确定同步正常，启动其他节点
确定同步正常，启动其他节点：
PRIMARY NODE2'Instance
[grid@jyrac2 ~]$ srvctl start instance -d jyzhao -i jyzhao2
STANDBY NODE2'Instance
[grid@jystdrac2 ~]$ srvctl start instance -d mynas -i jyzhao2至此，完成Oracle 11g标准化switchover切换操作。
我这里发现一个小问题，就是切换后发现无法实时同步，最终发现是备库的配置还是ARCH：
log_archive_dest_2 string SERVICE=jyzhao ARCH VALID_FOR=
(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=jyzhao修改备库的配置，去掉ARCH，也就是使用LGWR传输即可：
alter SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=jyzhao VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=jyzhao' sid='*' SCOPE=BOTH;关于使用这两种方式传输日志的区别可参考《ARCH和LGWR进程同步DG日志的区别》。
