Given that you have 2 primary instances (each with 4 redo groups), you need to create 2x4=8+2 standby redo logs.
So try adding 6 more add more standby redo log groups.
Please let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Leng.

Standby: Single instance
We are moving our 2-node RAC database to a single instance primary-standby configuration. We have only 1 instance running; we are not using both nodes. I am trying to create the first standby and ensure it's syncing with Real Time Apply before proceeding. I have created the standby database, but can't seem to manage to get it to actually use REAL TIME APPLY. It says it started managed recover with Real Time Apply in the alert log, but then I see it's not using the SRLs I added. I've looked at several blogs and docs in MOS as well, and still have not been able to get it to recognize the SRLs. It will ship and apply the log if we do a log switch, but our DR policy is to use RTA. I created SRLs without the THREAD parameter and it created them for thread 0. That didn't work for me so I created SRLs for thread 1 and 2. The alert log says there are not standby redo logfiles available for T-2. I also ensured the size matched the primary online redo. Do I need more SRLs for T-2 and none for T-0 and T-1? Completely lost and confused at this point. I could really use some help figuring out where I went wrong.
