切换之前，要插播一段小插曲。上一篇日志写到主备日志切换，是纠错之后的理想化阶段，而在这之前，还有那么点小暇疵。

起初，备节点数据库启动之后，通过命令“archive log list”校验时发现归档日志路径不对。在参数文件中指定到“/arch”，结果却变到了“/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs”。这样一来，主节点日志切换时，同步的日志文件直接到达备节点的“/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs”目录下，与预先设定的不一致，且alert日志文件中不断有报错信息。

经过很长时间的检查，最后发现是备节点上参数文件出了问题，将db_unique_name对应的“10gstandby”误写成了“10gtandby”，少写了一个字母“s”。改过来之后并重启数据库就好了，没有报错信息，但之前同步到“/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs”下的日志文件就这样永久的保留了下来，之后同步过来的日志文件就能准确到达指定的“/arch”目录下了，如下所示：

SQL> select name from v$archived_log;

NAME

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

/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs/arch1_2_697298091.dbf

/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs/arch1_3_697298091.dbf

/arch/1_9_697298091.dbf

/arch/1_19_697298091.dbf

18 rows selected.

从上面所显示的可以看到，一部分归档日志存在于/home/db/oracle/10g/dbs目录下，另一小部分归档日志存在于/arch目录下。

一切准备就绪，下面就要开始日志切换了，先在主节点上进行操作，其目的是将主节点的primary角色转换到standby角色：

SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown;

Database altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

ORA-01507: database not mounted

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount;

ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 1073741824 bytes

Fixed Size                  1999160 bytes

Variable Size             297799368 bytes

Database Buffers          767557632 bytes

Redo Buffers                6385664 bytes

SQL> alter database mount standby database;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

Database altered.

这个时候主节点角色转换成standby，且准备完毕接受来自备节点的日志传递。

下面开始备节点的操作：

首先查看一下状态

SQL> select switchover_status from v$database;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS

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

RECOVERY NEEDED

SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;

ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-16139: media recovery required

提示需要恢复，而不是“TO PRIMARY“状态，这个是之前参数文件出问题时造成的，可以通过以下办法来解决：

SQL> recover managed standby database finish;

Media recovery complete.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;

Database altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

ORA-01109: database not open

Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup

ORACLE instance started.

查看一下归档日志的生成情况：

至此，物理方式下建立oracle data guard系列故事告一段落。
