Step by Step Guide on Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE 
=======================================================================


Database Name :- hr
Primary db_unique_name :- hr
standby db_unique_name :- hrsty

#########################################################################

Primary database information
Host: pri.localdomain
IP Address : 192.168.1.12
Database name  = hr


Standby database information
Host: stby.localdomain
IP Address : 192.168.1.13
Database name = hrsty


1. Make the necessary changes to the primary database.
    a. Enable force logging.
    b. Creating the password file if one does not exist.
    c. Create standby redologs.
    d. Modify the parameter file suitable for Dataguard.

2. Ensure that the sql*net connectivity is working fine.

3. Create the standby database over the network using the active(primary) database files.
    a. Create the password file
    b. Create the initialization parameter file for the standby database (auxiliary database)
    c. Create the necessary mount points or the folders for the database files
    d. Run the standby creation ON STANDBY by connecting to primary as target database.






1. Prepare the production database to be the primary database
 
a. Ensure that the database is in archivelog mode .

SQL> select log_mode from v$database;

LOG_MODE
------------
ARCHIVELOG

SQL>


b. Enable force logging

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

FOR
---
NO

SQL> alter database force logging;

Database altered.

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

FOR
---
YES


c. Create standby redologs (redologs+1)

SQL> select group#, thread#, bytes/1024/1024
    from v$log;  2

    GROUP#    THREAD# BYTES/1024/1024
---------- ---------- ---------------
         1          1              50

         7         STANDBY /u01/app/oracle/oradata/hr/stby_redo04.log                                       NO



d. Modify the primary initialization parameter for dataguard on primary.

SQL> show parameter db_name

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_name                              string      hr

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_unique_name                       string      hr
SQL>

The DB_NAME parameter will be hr for the both the primary database and the standby database.
The DB_UNIQUE_NAME will be hr for the primary database and hrsty for the standby.
The DB_UNIQUE_NAME will be used in the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter to enable the sending and receiving of redo logs to remote destinations.

3. Create the standby database
=========================================================

a. Copy the password file from the primary $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database name.

The username is required to be SYS and the password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby site, not the DB_NAME.
b. Create a initialization parameter with only one parameter DB_NAME.

DB_NAME=hr
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=hrsty
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=<same as primary>

Below is the RMAN run command to perform the database duplication from and active database along with brief explanations for the options used in the duplicate.

FOR STANDBY – the duplicate is for use as a standby so a DBID change will not be forced.
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE – instructs RMAN to use the active target database instead of disk based backups.
DORECOVER – do recovery bringing the standby database up to the current point in time.
SPFILE – values for parameters specific to the auxiliary instance can be set here.
NOFILENAMECHECK – this option is added because the duplicate database files uses the same name as the source database.
