    Oracle10g Data Guard
    Oracle10g Data Guard, Physical Standby Creation, step by step

    Creating a Data Guard Physical Standby environment, General Review. Manually setting up a Physical standby database is a simple task when all prerequisites and setup steps are carefully met and executed.
    In this example I did use 2 hosts, that host a RAC database. All RAC preinstall requisites are then in place and no additional configuration was necessary to implement Data Guard Physical Standby manually. Note that using Enterprise Manager Grid Control Data Guard Physical Standby can be implemented from the Grid Control Console easily. Still, this exercise provide a degree of familiarity with Data Guard.

    The Enviroment
    2 Linux servers, Oracle Distribution 2.6.9-55 EL i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
    ssh is configured for user oracle on both nodes
    Oracle Home is on identical path on both nodes

    Implementation notes:
    Once you have your primary database up and running these are the steps to follow:

    1. Enable Forced Logging
    2. Create a Password File
    3. Configure a Standby Redo Log
    4. Enable Archiving
    5. Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters

    Having followed these steps to implement the Physical Standby you need to follow these steps:

    1. Create a Control File for the Standby Database
    2. Backup the Primary Database and transfer a copy to the Standby node.
    3. Prepare an Initialization Parameter File for the Standby Database
    4. Configure the listener and tnsnames to support the database on both nodes
    5. Set Up the Environment to Support the Standby Database on the standby node.
    6. Start the Physical Standby Database
    7. Verify the Physical Standby Database Is Performing Properly

    Enable Forced Logging
    In order to implement Standby Database we enable 'Forced Logging'. This option ensures that even in the event that a 'nologging' operation is done, force logging takes precedence and all operations are logged
    into the redo logs.

    SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
    Database altered.
    Create a Password File
    A password file must be created on the Primary and copied over to the Standby site. The sys password must be identical on both sites. This is a key pre requisite in order to be able to ship and apply archived logs from Primary to Standby.
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
    [vmractest1] > orapwd file=orapwwhiteowl password=oracle force=y
    Configure a Standby Redo Log
    A Standby Redo log is added to enable Data Guard Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection modes. It is important to configure the Standby Redo Logs (SRL) with the same size as the online redo logs.
    In this example I'm using Oracle Managed Files, that's why I don't need to provide the SRL path and file name. If you are not using OMF's you then must pass the full qualified name.

    Enable Archiving
    On 10g you can enable archive log mode by mounting the database and executing the archivelog command:

    SQL> startup mount;

    Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters
    Data Guard must use spfile, in order to configure it we create and configure the standby parameters on a regular pfile, and once it is ready we convert it to an spfile.
    Several init.ora parameters control the behavior of a Data Guard environment. In this example the Primary database init.ora is configured so that it can hold both roles, as Primary or Standby.

    SQL> create pfile='/oradisk/app01/oracle/product/10gDB/dbs/pfilewhiteowl.ora' from spfile;
    File created.
    Edit the pfile to add the standby parameters, here shown highlighted:
