Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Standby - two physical, one working , second is not
Ok I got this working. I will look it again..
Yes I have a set of standby redo + one extra mirroring the redo for each database and a standby control file for each.
I had to stop the second standby after I got it all working. the archs from sydney to idaho caused network issues.... We do alot of other images transfers and this becamne problematic so now I have to figure out how to work this.
Our eventual goal is RAC with standby to another location. I will look for the Data Guard Admin guide..
I was looking throught the standby docs and the 10g HA book I have... let me tell you lots of mistakes in both.
Thanks to everyone.....
