Practice of physical migration of Dameng database

Posted by mad4dweb on Thu, 10 Feb 2022 04:26:59 +0100

In the process of database operation and maintenance, hardware upgrading, host replacement or test environment based on the current production library are often carried out. At this time, it is necessary to form a target library that is the same as the original library. At this time, physical migration is a more convenient method. Its main purpose is to copy the source library related files directly to the target host, modify the configuration file to match the target library, and then register the service in the target host to start the migrated instance. The physical migration operation is relatively simple. The versions of the two libraries are required to be consistent to reduce the migration risk and operation difficulty.
The two host environments are 64 bit centos 7.2, as follows:

[root@dwm Desktop]# uname -a
Linux dwm 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 15:06:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@dwm Desktop]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 

The database version to be migrated is 64 bit DM8. The information is as follows:

In order to confirm the details of the file to be copied, query through the dynamic view,

SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name, bytes/1024/1024 as "size(M)" from dba_data_files;

LINEID     TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME                     size(M)             
---------- --------------- ----------------------------- --------------------
1          SYSTEM          /dm8/data/DAMENG/SYSTEM.DBF   23
2          DMHR            /dm8/data/DAMENG/DMHR.DBF     128
3          BOOKSHOP        /dm8/data/DAMENG/BOOKSHOP.DBF 150
4          MAIN            /dm8/data/DAMENG/MAIN.DBF     128
5          TEMP            /dm8/data/DAMENG/TEMP.DBF     10
6          ROLL            /dm8/data/DAMENG/ROLL.DBF     128

6 rows got

used time: 2.845(ms). Execute id is 7.

Query the path parameters of the configuration file. The target library can modify the path according to the actual storage situation or not according to the location of the original library, as long as the configuration file is consistent with the actual storage location.

SQL> select para_name, para_value from v$dm_ini where para_name like '%PATH%';

LINEID     PARA_NAME         PARA_VALUE              
---------- ----------------- ------------------------
1          CTL_PATH          /dm8/data/DAMENG/dm.ctl
2          CTL_BAK_PATH      /dm8/data/DAMENG/ctl_bak
3          SYSTEM_PATH       /dm8/data/DAMENG
4          CONFIG_PATH       /dm8/data/DAMENG
5          TEMP_PATH         /dm8/data/DAMENG
6          BAK_PATH          /dm8/data/DAMENG/bak
7          AUD_PATH          NULL
8          DFS_PATH          $/DAMENG
9          SVR_LOG_FILE_PATH ../log
10         TRACE_PATH        /dm8/data/DAMENG/trace
11         DCR_PATH          NULL

11 rows got

used time: 3.067(ms). Execute id is 10.

To ensure data consistency, close the instance during migration.

The database of the same version of the target database has been installed and has an instance with the service port of 5236. In order to distinguish, we modify the original database instance and the database instance on the corresponding port of 5237 of the target database.

Copy relevant files to the target host. The original directory is / dm8/data/DAMENG, and the target file directory is / dm8/data/DAMENG2:

[dmdba@localhost DAMENG]$ scp  *.* dmdba@192.168.56.105:/dm8/data/DAMENG2
The authenticity of host '192.168.56.105 (192.168.56.105)' can't be established.

To modify a profile:


After the batch modification command is executed, a total of 6 modifications are prompted.

Since the path is modified, the control file must be modified to ensure that the information in it is consistent with the actual situation, otherwise an error will be reported when starting. Dameng database uses dmctlcvt tool to modify the control file.

[dmdba@dwm bin]$ ./dmctlcvt help
DMCTLCVT V8

Format:  ./dmctlcvt KEYWORD=value
Note:    ctl file name must be dm.ctl or dmmpp.ctl or dss.ctl

Keyword             Explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE                1 convert ctl file(dm.ctl or dmmpp.ctl or dss.ctl) to txt file
                    2 convert txt file to ctl file(dm.ctl or dmmpp.ctl or dss.ctl)
SRC                 Source file
DEST                Destination file
DCR_INI             the path of dmdcr.ini
DFS_INI             the path of dmdfs.ini
HELP                Show this help info

Example:
./dmctlcvt TYPE=1 SRC=/opt/dmdbms/data/dameng/dm.ctl DEST=/opt/dmdbms/data/dameng/dmctl.txt
./dmctlcvt TYPE=2 SRC=/opt/dmdbms/data/dameng/dmctl.txt DEST=/opt/dmdbms/data/dameng/dm.ctl

Referring to the instructions and example commands provided with the tool, modify the instance control file in the target host, and first generate a text file.

Modify the text file:

After checking and modifying successfully, convert the text file into binary file:

Register the instance with the system service

Start instance

[root@dwm system]# systemctl start DmServiceDM2
Job for DmServiceDM2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status DmServiceDM2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

After troubleshooting, one / is missing in the process of Path replacement, resulting in path exceptions.

After modifying again, restart the instance.

The startup is normal this time. Connect the instance and check the database status.

After migration, our instance is connected to port 5237.

Through the above operation steps, the physical migration of the database is completed, the instance runs normally and the status is available. During the migration process, you should pay attention to ensuring the path and DM of the target library Ini and DM The in CTL is exactly the same. In addition, the attributes of the file remain unchanged after copying, that is, the primary group and read-write permission are correct.
