428 CHAPTER 10 ■ DATA GUARD7. Switch the binary to the new <strong>Oracle</strong> software version. At this point, both sites will berunning the new version of <strong>Oracle</strong> software.8. Start up in mount mode.9. Start MRP, and make sure that both databases are in sync.Your database will be synchronized again running the new version of <strong>Oracle</strong> software. Youcan perform a switchover again to bring the primary database back to the original data center.At this point, both sites are running the new version of <strong>Oracle</strong> software with the original DataGuard configuration.Improvements in Redo TransportOne of the changes made to the redo log transport mechanism in <strong>Oracle</strong> now defaults to asynchronousmode. In <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Database</strong> <strong>11</strong>g, the default behavior of the log transport mechanismis set to asynchronous mode. One way to confirm the new default asynchronous redo transportmode is to invoke the Data Guard command-line interface (DGMGRL) and review the verboseoutput from the SHOW command. You will notice that the last line of the following output(logxptmode=async) reflects the asynchronous mode of redo transport:DGMGRL> show database verbose dba<strong>11</strong>gdr<strong>Database</strong>Name:dba<strong>11</strong>gdrRole:PHYSICAL STANDBYEnabled:YESIntended State:APPLY-ONInstance(s):DBA<strong>11</strong>gDRProperties:DGConnectIdentifier= 'dba<strong>11</strong>gdr'ObserverConnectIdentifier = ''LogXptMode= 'async'The redo transport mechanism in <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Database</strong> <strong>11</strong>g can also take advantage of authenticationusing SSL. The redo transport network transmission sessions can now use the remotelogin password file to perform encrypted SSL connections.Block Change Tracking Support<strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Database</strong> 10g introduced the block change tracking feature to improve incrementalbackup performance. Block change tracking enables fast incremental RMAN backups byreading and backing up only the changed data blocks during incremental backups. <strong>Oracle</strong><strong>Database</strong> <strong>11</strong>g allows for block change tracking on the Data Guard configuration. To enableblock change tracking, you can submit a SQL statement similar to the following example on thestandby database:
