I can get the Primary Database to the role "Physical Standby Database", but I'm having some issue getting the Physical Standby Database to become a Primary Database. These are the errors:

Log /u04/oradata/MYDB/logs/archive/arch_1_536.arc

RFS: Successfully opened standby logfile 5: '/u04/oradata/MYDB/redo/standby/srl1.log'

After the Primary has been set as a Standby, I get this error when attempting to set the original Standby as Primary:

SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary;
alter database commit to switchover to primary
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16139: media recovery required

I'm thinking I'll have to shut down the Standby, then change the Primary, then go back, restart, and change the Standby to Primary (or find a way to archive off the contents of the Standby Redo Log so everything's up-to-date.

This may have been because I didn't do a log switch prior to converting the Primary to Standby, or because it was in the process of archiving when I shut it down and brought it up as a Standby Database. Works now, and I do a log switch first.
