Oracle 10 RAC to 10G RAC standby

Hi Everyone,

I have trying to setup a 10G RAC to 10G RAC physical standby dataguard configuration and then put it iunder grid control as you cannot create a physical standby RAC database in the Grid Control.

I have looked at the Oracle manuals, all the dataguard and dataguard broker 10g manuals, the high availablity manual.

I have searched metalink, read books, one of which was : -

Oracle Database 10g High Availability
Matthew Hart

I am using ocfs on linux, I tried ASM but there was a bug with duplicate for standby in 10.1.0.1.3, which I think is fixed in the next patchset.

I have raised 10 or more Oracle tar's on this and mostly these have taken a long time to resolve and often not to my satisfaction. Nowhere can I find any examples on any details on how this is setup or what specfically the parameters mean and how the receiving and applying standby instances work.

After many weeks of pain and trial and error I now have it working.

Can anybody help me here? Any books, docs, hints, that explain this in detail?

My intention is not to upset anyone in this newsgroup, but merely to understand the parameters and working of Oracle RAC in a dataguard enviroment.

Many thanks,
