GOAL
Automatic Password file synchronization in 12.2 Dataguard Standby database 12.2 Dataguard Standby数据库中的密码文件自动同步
SOLUTION
When password file is used for Redo Transport Authentication, the password of redo transport user should be same across primary and all its physical and snapshot standby databases. By default SYS user is used to authenticate redo transport sessions when password file is used.
当密码文件用于Redo传输身份验证时,Redo传输用户的密码在主数据库及其所有物理和快照备用数据库之间应该相同。默认情况下,使用密码文件时,SYS用户用于验证Redo传输会话
Till 12cR1 Dataguard setup, if there is a change in password file of Primary database like Changes in password or Changes in admin privileges, then the password file needs to be copied from Primary database to standby database server and rename it according to standby database Instance name. If the password file of Primary and Standby databases are not same, then errors will be seen.
直到12cR1 Dataguard 设置,如果主数据库的密码文件发生了更改(如“密码更改”或“管理员权限”更改),则需要将密码文件从主数据库复制到备用数据库服务器,并根据备用数据库实例名称重命名。如果主数据库和备用数据库的密码文件不同,则会看到错误
In 12cR2, the password file of standby database gets synchronized automatically when there is a change in Primary database password file. The password file change of Primary will be included in Redo and when the Redo is applied to standby, the synchronization happens in the background.
在12cR2中,当主数据库密码文件发生更改时,备用数据库的密码文件将自动同步。主库密码文件更改将包含在Redo中,并且当Redo应用于备用时,同步将在后台进行
Exception: Far-sync Instances (where the redo will not be applied). We need to manually copy the password file. Once the password file is sync at Far-Sync instance, the redo having password file information will get transmitted to standby which are suppose to receive from Far-sync instance.
例外:Far-sync实例(将不应用redo)。我们需要手动复制密码文件。一旦在Far-Sync实例上同步了密码文件,则具有密码文件信息的redo将被传输到备用数据库,该数据库应从Far-sync实例接收。
Example:
PRIMARY>select username, sysdba, sysoper, sysasm,sysbackup,authentication_type AT from v$pwfile_users; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS SYSBA AT -------------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- -------- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSDG FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSBACKUP FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE PASSWORD SYSKM FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD STANDBY>select username, sysdba, sysoper, sysasm,sysbackup,authentication_type AT from v$pwfile_users; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS SYSBA AT ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- -------- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSDG FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSBACKUP FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE PASSWORD SYSKM FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD
Let‘s grant a role to a user at Primary database which will make changes in Password file 让我们向Primary数据库中的用户授予一个角色,该角色将在Password文件中进行更改
PRIMARY>Grant SYSOPER to user1; Grant succeeded. PRIMARY>select username, sysdba, sysoper, sysasm,sysbackup,authentication_type AT from v$pwfile_users; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS SYSBA AT -------------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- -------- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSDG FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSBACKUP FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE PASSWORD SYSKM FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD USER1 FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD Password file of Primary database: -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 4096 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/orapwprimdb
Switch the logfile, so that the Redo reach its standby databases 切换日志文件,以便Redo到达其备用数据库
PRIMARY>alter system switch logfile; System altered.
At standby Media recovery is not active. Verify v$pwfile_users for the granted role 在待机状态下,介质恢复未激活。验证v$pwfile_users是否已授予角色
STANDBY>select username, sysdba, sysoper, sysasm,sysbackup,authentication_type AT from v$pwfile_users; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS SYSBA AT ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- -------- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSDG FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSBACKUP FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE PASSWORD SYSKM FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD Password file of Standby database: -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 3584 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/orapwstdbydb
Newly granted role is not reflected in Standby, lets start Media recovery and then query v$pwfile_users. 新授予的角色未反映在Standby中,请启动媒体恢复,然后查询v$pwfile_users。
STANDBY>recover managed standby database disconnect; Media recovery complete. STANDBY>select username, sysdba, sysoper, sysasm,sysbackup,authentication_type AT from v$pwfile_users; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS SYSBA AT ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- -------- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSDG FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD SYSBACKUP FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE PASSWORD SYSKM FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD USER1 FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE PASSWORD Password file of standby database: -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 4096 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/orapwstdbydb
We could see after media recovery v$pwfile_users has been updated 我们可以看到媒体恢复后v$pwfile_users已更新
