Create a Database Standby (Data Guard) on OCI Oracle Cloud for a DB System Database

Create a Database Standby (Data Guard)  on OCI Oracle Cloud for a DB System Database


In one of my previous post I have created a 12c DB System on Oracle Cloud OCI.

Now for that database I am going to create a Dataguard for that database. In OCI we need to have an Enterprise version to create a data guard.

Steps:

1) Login to OCI console and go to Database Services. Select the Database and click on Data Guard Association.




2) But Wait ....!!! Before creating the dataguard, let's create a database image. Go to Database details and follow below screenshots. This image will be needed while creating the dataguard






It takes some time to create the image.
Validate that the database image is created.





3) Now we will create DG. Go to navigation as given in point 1 and follow as below. Give the same shape as primary database(not mandatory) and choose the image created in step 2.










Click Next







Click on Enable Data Guard

It will take time to complete. Approx. 1 hr 25 mins 
Process is running to provision the DG.





My Standby is created.




Lets connect to my Primary and Standby to verify

The standby host will also use same ssh keys as per the primary.

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...
