Message: Hi,

I have to configure the Data Guard and create a physical standby database(Non-RAC) from a primary database (RAC with ASM). I took the RMAN backup from the primary and need to restored the same on the standby. My question is do I need to configure the ASM on the standby also before I restore the RMAN dump?? Please advice.

If any documents are available, kindly share the same.

Regards
Venkat

Message: Hi Venkat,
I am not sure if you have to create an ASM instance for the standby or not. MY guess is you do not need to. Having said that, I followed the instructions in the link bellow and my system has been running in production for months without problems, I hope you find it useful.

Message: If 10g, it is ASm as best option. But make sure you set the parameters right for both primary and standby.

Message: Hi

Which is your db_create_file_dest set to in your primary database instances : +EVD_DG01 ?

To which is your db_create_file_dest set to in your standby database instance : /opt/oradata ?

Then you have to set the db_file_name_convert to '+EVD_DG01','/opt/oradata'

Message: Hi Guy,

Thanks for the reply.

db_create_file_dest parameter on primary was set to "+EVD_DG01" and nothing was set on standby database.

Should i set some path name to the standby database? and then the parameter "db_file_name_convert" on both the primary and stand by?

Please give the steps involved.

Thanks and Regards
Venkat

Message: Hi Venkat,
Yes you should. You need it in the primary in case you switch over the datanbase role.
