VM 109 - Oracle DR System (Windows Standby)

Director Proxmox: proxmox/vm109-windows-dr/ VMID: 109 Rol: Disaster Recovery pentru Oracle Database (backup RMAN de pe server Windows extern)

⚠️ Important — VM 109 NU este în HA (din 2026-04-20)

După incidentul 2026-04-20 (vezi ../cluster/incidents/2026-04-20-cluster-outage.md), VM 109 a fost scos din HA cu ha-manager remove vm:109. Motivele:

• VM 109 este un DR test VM, nu un serviciu live
• Scriptul DR test de sâmbătă (scripts/weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh) pornește/oprește VM 109 manual cu qm start/stop
• Cu HA activ, un bug set -e în script a lăsat VM 109 pornit 2.5 zile, apoi la crashul pvemini HA a relocat VM 109 pe pveelite (16 GB) → OOM cascade

Efecte:

• VM 109 NU mai e repornit automat la crash node
• VM 109 NU se mai mută de pe pvemini
• VM 109 pornește DOAR la invocarea scriptului DR sau manual cu qm start 109
• Scriptul DR are acum trap cleanup_vm EXIT care garantează qm stop 109 la orice ieșire

Verificare status:

ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm status 109"          # trebuie stopped
ssh root@10.0.20.201 "ha-manager status | grep 109 || echo 'nu e în HA'"

🎯 Quick Actions

⚡ Emergency DR Activation (Production Down!)

# 1. Start DR VM
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109"

# 2. Connect to VM (wait 3 min for boot)
ssh -p 22122 romfast@10.0.20.37

# 3. Run restore (takes ~10-15 minutes)
D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.cmd

# 4. Database is now RUNNING - Update app connections to 10.0.20.37

🧪 Weekly Test (Every Saturday)

# Automatic at 06:00 via cron, or manual:
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh"

# What it does:
# ✓ Starts VM → Restores DB → Tests → Cleanup → Shutdown
# ✓ Sends email report with results

📊 Check Backup Health

# Manual check (runs daily at 09:00 automatically)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/oracle-backup-monitor-proxmox.sh"

# Output:
# Status: OK
# FULL backup age: 11 hours ✓
# CUMULATIVE backup age: 2 hours ✓
# Disk usage: 45% ✓

🐛 Troubleshooting

🔍 Debugging Restore Tests

Check Backup Files on Proxmox (10.0.20.202)

# 1. List all backup files with size and date
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls -lht /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/*.BKP"

# 2. Count backup files
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/*.BKP | wc -l"

# 3. Check latest backups (last 24 hours)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "find /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup -name '*.BKP' -mtime -1 -ls"

# 4. Show backup files grouped by type (with new naming convention)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls -lh /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/ | grep -E '(L0_|L1_|ARC_|SPFILE_|CF_|O1_MF)'"

# 5. Check disk space usage
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "df -h /mnt/pve/oracle-backups"
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "du -sh /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/"

# 6. Verify newest backup timestamp
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "stat /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/L0_*.BKP 2>/dev/null | grep Modify || echo 'No L0 backups with new naming'"

Verify Backup Files on DR VM (when running)

# 1. Check NFS mount is accessible
Test-Path F:\ROA\autobackup

# 2. List all backup files
Get-ChildItem F:\ROA\autobackup\*.BKP | Format-Table Name, Length, LastWriteTime

# 3. Count backup files
(Get-ChildItem F:\ROA\autobackup\*.BKP).Count

# 4. Show total backup size
"{0:N2} GB" -f ((Get-ChildItem F:\ROA\autobackup\*.BKP | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum / 1GB)

# 5. Check latest Level 0 backup
Get-ChildItem F:\ROA\autobackup\L0_*.BKP -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

# 6. Check what was copied during last restore
Get-Content D:\oracle\logs\restore_from_zero.log | Select-String "Copying|Copied"

Check DR Test Results

# 1. View latest DR test log
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls -lt /var/log/oracle-dr/dr_test_*.log | head -1 | awk '{print \$9}' | xargs cat | tail -100"

# 2. Check test status (passed/failed)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "grep -E 'PASSED|FAILED|Database Verification' /var/log/oracle-dr/dr_test_*.log | tail -5"

# 3. See backup selection logic output
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "grep -A5 'TEST MODE: Selecting' /var/log/oracle-dr/dr_test_*.log | tail -20"

# 4. Check how many files were selected
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "grep 'Total files selected' /var/log/oracle-dr/dr_test_*.log | tail -1"

# 5. View RMAN errors (if any)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "grep -i 'RMAN-\|ORA-' /var/log/oracle-dr/dr_test_*.log | tail -20"

Simulate Test Locally (on DR VM)

# 1. Start Oracle service manually
Start-Service OracleServiceROA

# 2. Run cleanup to prepare for restore
D:\oracle\scripts\cleanup_database.ps1 /SILENT

# 3. Run restore in test mode
D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.ps1 -TestMode

# 4. Verify database opened correctly
sqlplus / as sysdba @D:\oracle\scripts\verify_db.sql

# 5. Check what backups were used
Get-Content D:\oracle\logs\restore_from_zero.log | Select-String "backup piece"

# 6. View database verification output
Get-Content D:\oracle\logs\restore_from_zero.log | Select-String -Pattern "DB_NAME|OPEN_MODE|TABLES" -Context 0,1

Common Restore Test Issues

Issue	Check	Fix
Test reports FAILED but DB is open	Check log for "OPEN_MODE: READ WRITE"	Already fixed in latest version
Missing datafiles in restore	Count backup files: should be 15-40+	Wait for next full backup or copy all files
"No backups found" error	Verify NFS mount: Test-Path F:\	Remount NFS or check Proxmox NFS service
Restore takes > 30 min	Check backup size: should be ~5-8 GB	Normal for first restore after format change
RMAN-06023 errors	Check for L0_*.BKP files on F:\	Old format: need new backup with naming convention

Verify Naming Convention is Active

# Check if new naming convention is being used (after Oct 11, 2025)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/ | grep -E '^(L0_|L1_|ARC_|SPFILE_|CF_)' | wc -l"
# Should return > 0 if active

# If 0, backups are still using old format (O1_MF_ANNNN_*)
# Wait for next scheduled backup (02:30 daily) or run manual backup

Manual Test Run with Verbose Output

# Run test with full output visible
ssh root@10.0.20.202
cd /opt/scripts
./weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh 2>&1 | tee /tmp/dr_test_manual.log

# Watch in real-time what's happening
# Look for these key stages:
# - "TEST MODE: Selecting latest backup set"
# - "Total files selected: XX"
# - "RMAN restore completed successfully"
# - "OPEN_MODE: READ WRITE"

❌ Backup Monitor Not Sending Alerts

# 1. Check templates exist
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls /usr/share/pve-manager/templates/default/oracle-*"

# 2. Reinstall templates
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/oracle-backup-monitor-proxmox.sh --install"

# 3. Check Proxmox notifications work
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "pvesh create /nodes/$(hostname)/apt/update"
# Should receive update notification

❌ F:\ Drive Not Accessible in VM

# On VM 109:
# 1. Check NFS Client service
Get-Service | Where {$_.Name -like "*NFS*"}

# 2. Manual mount
mount -o rw,nolock,mtype=hard,timeout=60 10.0.20.202:/mnt/pve/oracle-backups F:

# 3. Check Proxmox NFS server
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "showmount -e localhost"
# Should show: /mnt/pve/oracle-backups 10.0.20.37

❌ Restore Fails

# 1. Check backup files exist
dir F:\ROA\autobackup\*.BKP

# 2. Check Oracle service
sc query OracleServiceROA

# 3. Check PFILE exists
dir C:\Users\oracle\admin\ROA\pfile\initROA.ora

# 4. View restore log
type D:\oracle\logs\restore_from_zero.log

❌ VM Won't Start

# Check VM status
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm status 109"

# Check VM config
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm config 109 | grep -E 'memory|cores|bootdisk'"

# Force unlock if locked
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm unlock 109"

# Start with console
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109 && qm terminal 109"

🚨 Disaster Recovery Procedure

When PRIMARY is DOWN:

1. Confirm PRIMARY is unreachable

   ping 10.0.20.36  # Should fail
   

2. Start DR VM

   ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109"
   

3. Wait for boot (3 minutes)

4. Connect to DR VM

   ssh -p 22122 romfast@10.0.20.37
   

5. Run restore

   D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.cmd
   

6. Verify database

   sqlplus / as sysdba
   SELECT name, open_mode FROM v$database;
   -- Should show: ROA, READ WRITE
   

7. Update application connections

   • Change from: 10.0.20.36:1521/ROA
   • Change to: 10.0.20.37:1521/ROA

8. Monitor DR system

   • Database is now production
   • Do NOT run cleanup!
   • Keep VM running
