    As per you mentioned that alter database open; in the standby server is not allowed. You make sure that every standby server is in read only mode becoz none of the user doesnot access. If any user is uses that database then it is not a standby server. 

     

    This issue (standby database requires recovery) i.e, requires recovery for standby database is caused due to one of the datafiles in-consistent and to make standby database read only mode. Here all the datafiles should be consistent and bring the standby database read only mode.

    The error is occuring becoz MRP is still running in the database which keeps the media recover on.

    Resolution- Stop the media recovery and then place the database in readonly mode by using "SQL>recover managed standy databse cancel;"

    Then "SQL>alter database open read only;"

    After that if you want to start the MRP by execute the statement

    "SQL>recover managed standby database disconnect from session using current logfile;"

    Check with this procedure... -- Rockz

    May I know why shutdown this done for the db, what operation is done in before?
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:10 pm Nitesh Singh

    You are trying to open a standby database that too without converting it ?
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:10 pm Sonia Barwar

    Are you trying to open the standby database in open mode?
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:11 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    I am creating datagaurd it is mounted but not opening in read only mode.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:11 pm Nitesh Singh

    Use alter database open readonly; not what you're giving.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:13 pm Sugandh

    Either the backup file is not restored properly or this db is not in archivelog mode so that the logs are not being applied to your db when you are trying to open it. And check if you have enough redo logs. Other way around could be you need to restore the file from the backup again.

    If you have used consistent backup then just recover database command may help you to overcome this issue.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:14 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    Database restored successfully. It is a consistent backup.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:15 pm Sugandh

    At Mount put db in recovery mode for some time looks it need some fuzzy clearance then try with readonly open.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:15 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    I tried but same error.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:17 pm Sugandh

    Did you try recover database command?
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:17 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    Yes I tried.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:17 pm Sugandh

    What is alert logs saying when you enable mrp?
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:18 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    Alter database recover managed standby database command.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:18 pm Sugandh

     I am telling to do a normal recover database command once you reach mount phase. Not the alter database recover managed one.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:19 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    In stand by side alert log file is not updating.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:19 pm Chandan Singh Parihar

    In that case you're missing something.
  • 17 Mar 2015 3:20 pm Abhijeet Mudgal

    What I missed plz let me know?
