Sanjay, I'm confused, are you testing your backups or you are testing your DR ? Usually you setup dataguard before your DR tests ? Why not just install GI on the DR site and then setup dataguard replication. Then you have plenty of ways testing that - either switchover, converting the primary to snapshot database or by opening just read only to verify that the data from the primary is received.

However if you are testing your backups I suppose you will install the GI on the DR site before the disaster happen. Also I see no particular reason to have exactly the same GI version on the DR site ?

Regards,
Sve
