Displaying an Oracle Data Guard Runtime Status Overview

The status of each Oracle Data Guard data replication resource indicates the status of replication on a particular Oracle Data Guard Broker configuration. The status of all the resources under a protection group are aggregated in the replication status.

To view the overall status of replication, look at the protection group state, as described in the following procedure.

How to Check the Overall Runtime Status of Replication

1. Log in to a node of a cluster where the protection group is defined.

   To complete this step, you need to be assigned the Basic Solaris User RBAC rights profile. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

2. Check the runtime status of replication.

   phys-paris-1# geoadm status

   Refer to the Protection Group section of the output for replication information. The output of this command includes the following information:

   • Whether the local cluster is enabled for partnership participation

   • Whether the local cluster is involved in a partnership

   • Status of the heartbeat configuration

   • Status of the defined protection groups

   • Status of current transactions

3. Check the runtime status of data replication for each Oracle Data Guard protection group.

   phys-paris-1 clresource status -v ODGConfigurationName-odg-rep-rs

   Refer to the Status and StatusMessage fields that are presented for the Oracle Data Guard Broker configuration data replications that you want to check. For more information about these fields, see Table 2–1.
