G'day,

I have an 11gR2 data base with Local Extent Management and Manual Segment Management.

Can Data Guard be used to replicate this instance into ASM storage? [I have multiple long fields (BLOBs and CLOBs) in various tables.]

I _am_ reading the documentation and I _am_ searching the web for answers but you guys are a great source of information and I need all the help I can get.

David

Yes.
But why do you want to use dataguard?
If this is a one time duplication/migration to another server you can just use RMAN active duplicate.
If this is just a migration to ASM from a regular filesystem, you can backup and resore/recover those files in ASM.

Either way, the database need to be available in ASM ( or a filesystem of your choice) before you enable dataguard.

Thank you both for the prompt feedback.

@Mahesh,

My interpretation of my readings was leading me to the same conclusion.

We don't currently use RMAN (but we will be soon). I want/need to get to ASM before the other mob here get around to moving our backup strategy to RMAN.

@Michel,

Thanks for the link.

Thanks again.

David
