Incomplete switchover in a physical standby setup

truptipanFeb 5 2015 — edited Feb 11 2015

Hello,

I have a primary and physical standby setup in 11.2.0.4, with pcvi_1 as primary and pcvi_2 as standby

The status before an attempted switchover (using sql commands) was fine, with logs generated at primary, transported to standby and applied.

I attempted a manual switchover today following the instructions on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41134/role_management.htm#SBYDB00620

All the steps executed without errors , but after that the situation is

On pcvi_1

=======

SQL>  select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE

--------------------

MOUNTED

SQL>  select database_role from v$database;

DATABASE_ROLE

----------------

PHYSICAL STANDBY

SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS

--------------------

SESSIONS ACTIVE

and on pcvi_2

========

SQL>  select database_role from v$database;

DATABASE_ROLE

----------------

PRIMARY

SQL>  select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE

--------------------

READ WRITE

SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS

--------------------

NOT ALLOWED

On dgmgrl, the situation has not changed. pcvi_1 is considered primary and pcvi_2 as standby.

DGMGRL> show configuration

Configuration - pcvi

  Protection Mode: MaxPerformance

  Databases:

    pcvi_1 - Primary database

    pcvi_2 - Physical standby database

      Error: ORA-16810: multiple errors or warnings detected for the database

Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED

Configuration Status:

Can somebody please help me solve this issue ?

Many THanks,
