Hi,
It wud be great if you add listener config details in standby server. Bcos it is essential to connect to standby using @connect_string during duplicate command.

Isn’t it missing here the password file for the auxiliary database connection (STANDBY)?

Please check the recipe post again rather than just the summary at the end, before running the DUPLICATE command you must run the startup nomount on auxiliary (soon to be standby) database.

Hope this helps

You cannot issue “RMAN> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY NOFILENAMECHECK DORECOVER;”
on Primary\Source DB, because
Standby DB must be in “nomount” state and therefore you will not be able to connect to it with RMAN as auxiliary. Please explain this part, or fix the recipe.

Hi Paul
This is very useful note. I noticed that the standby control file is created in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY). Is there a way to specify this to be created in a particular Disk group if ASM is being used.

As long as the files RMAN are available on the machine to be the standby it should be fine.
If you review the recipe and caveat 2, I recommended you push the backups to auxilary location or use shared storage which is visible to both primary and standby.

In RMAN Standby naming, the primary db (which you are duplicating) is the target and the standby (which you are creating) is the auxiliary.

Hope this helps

Will the DUPLICATE command work even though you have issued it while connected to the primary server? Can RMAN do its job across a network?

[...] you have created your standby database using the RMAN DUPLICATE command, you have set the ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET to maintain a minimum lag target, and you have sorted out [...]
