Step by Step to configure Oracle

19c Data Guard Physical

Standby
Environment Details

Parameters needs to configure both side for Data guard,

Primary side:
db_name:- Same name for all primary and standby database
db_unique_name:-a unique db name to uniquely identify primary
and standby db because db_name is same
Log_archive_dest_1:-local archive destination
Log_archive_dest_2:-destination for standby database
Standby_file_management:-automatically  create file at
standby db site
Standby Side:
db_unique_name:-it has to be different from DB_NAME
parameter
db_file_name_convert:-specify the path name and datafile
location of primary database datafile followed by standby
location
log_file_name_convert:-specify the path name and redo logfile
location of primary database redo logfile followed by standby
location
log_archive_dest_1:-location of archives coming from primary
database
fal_server:-to fetch archived log from primary site when log gap
is detected at standby site.The parameter value is tns service
name
fal_client:- to copies missing archive to standby database
High Level Steps:-

Step 1:-Check FORCE LOGGING is enabled

Step 2:- Make sure primary is in archivelog mode
Step 3:- PFILE creation and copy to standby database
Step 4:-Edit the parameters and directories in created pfile
Step 5:- Parameters for primary database
Step 6:- Copy password file from primary to standby server
Step 7:- Make the respective directories for standby database
Step 8:- Keep the database in NOMOUNT stage to create standby
database
Step 9:- Create spfile for standby database
Step 10:- Listener and TNS Configuration
Step 11:-Start the listener in Standby database and check the
status
Step 12:-In standby side,check RMAN connection.Connect primary
database as TARGET and standby database as AUXILIARY(creating new
instance)
Step 13:-Active Duplication for creating standby database
Step 14:- Post check status for Standby database
Step 15:- Enable the recovery(MRP Process)
Step 16:- Check the Standby database sync status with primary
PRIMARY SIDE CONFIGURATION:-
[oracle@ram ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=dbwr
