Re: Data Guard 9ir2 - Data Guard Manager hangs on preparing primary database

Seen simular things with wizard.
Here some hints:
- Try refresh your nodes from the OEM, it should be runnig and detecting your databases without problems.
- If you use database files larger then 2 GB then install new Perl version on all nodes in identical path.
- Have you installed the two patches ??

        P2670975_920 and P2671349_920
- if oracle version is smaller then 9.2. install the streamer patch, or update to 9.2.0.4
- is tnsping running properly to port 1748?? - if you uses multiple NIC's make sure you are communicating on the right nic dbsnmp.hostname= --.--.--.-- in network/admin/snmp.rw

Hope this helps
Cheers RvE
