ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

11.2.0.4 data Guard has prepared broker, which is normal when switching from the main library to the standby library. When you switch from the backup library to the main library. Something went wrong.

DGMGRL> switchover to testogg;
Performing switchover NOW, please wait...
Operation requires a connection to instance "testogg" on database "testogg"
Connecting to instance "testogg"...

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Failed.
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.

Please complete the following steps to finish switchover:
	start up instance "testogg_stdby" of database "testogg_stdby"

Check the setting of log_archive_dest_2, there is a problem with db_unique_name, change, prompt and log_archive_dest_3 because the value is the same.

SYS@testogg_stdby>alter system set log_archive_dest_2= 'SERVICE=tesgogg ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=testogg';
alter system set log_archive_dest_2= 'SERVICE=tesgogg ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=testogg'

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02097: parameter cannot be modified because specified value is invalid
ORA-16021: session LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3 destination cannot be the same as session
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 destination

If you look at log_ARCHIve_dest_3, you see that log_archive_dest_3 is configured. However, this parameter is not set when you build the Data Guard. This parameter is generated by the Broker itself after the Broker is configured. After clearing, set log_archive_dest_2.

SYS@testogg_stdby>show parameter log_archive_dest_3

System altered.

SYS@testogg_stdby>alter system set log_archive_dest_2= 'SERVICE=tesgogg ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=testogg';

System altered.

Once set up, there is still a problem with not being able to switch data Guard. Check the configuration of the Broker. Discover that in the configuration of the database, the host being connected is hostname, not IP address.
