Hi Team,
 I have a question for the same., I have switched over to the standby.  But now I am unable to make that physical as standby. I have 2 standbys. Now when I create the configuration on the new primary, it is telling me that one or more sites has warnings,
 and when I am watching the logs in bdump, it tells me that all the parameters showed in show resource command are not in sync. I don wanna set all the parameters manually everywhere.
 I have removed the configuration and sites again on primary, deleted old dr?SID files on standby and brought back the db in managed recovery mode. But no luck , as this is the same thing working previously.  I am able to do tnsping to both the servers.  Any idea ???

Regards - Chirag
