everything fine

:wq
------------------------------------------------------
dbs]$orapwd file=orapwprd password=sys
Take backup of parameter file and the password file
dbs]$cp initprd.ora orapwprd /home/prd/dg/
go to dg directory and check it whether the paramter file and
password file is exist or not
]$cd /home/prd/dg
dg]$ls
initprd.ora orapwprd and .dbf and .log files exist
dg]$cd

]$sqlplus '/as sysdba'

sql>startup mount;

Take backup of controlfile

sql>alter database create standby controlfile

as '/home/prd/dg/stdcont.ctl';

database altered

go to dg directory and checkit

dg]$ls
initprd.ora orapwprd and .dbf ,.log and stdcont.ctl

Transfer all files to primary server to standby database server

dg]$cd
]$ pwd
/home
In standby database /home folder
create prd folder
and transfer all files into /home/prd folder

dg]$scp * 192.168.100.2:/home/prd
-----------------------------------------------------
note:
if any error comes check network
]$vi /home/.ssh/known_hosts
------------------------------------------
here we have to keep target hostname
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
enter password: oracle (os password)

dg]$

in the standby databse

go to dbs directory and check it

why because dbs directory must contain parameter file and the
password file i.e initprd.ora and orapwprd

dbs]$ls
nothing

go to prd directory in the standby database server.

 prd]$mv initprd.ora orapwprd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

goto dbs and check it in the standby database server.

dbs]$initprd.ora

working fine

In stand by database

]$sqlplus '/as sysdba'

sql>startup nomount;
sql>alter database mount standby database;

database altered

sql> select name, database_role, controlfile_type from v$database;

Name Database_role control

------------------------------------------------------------
PRD PHYSICAL stand by STANDBY

-------------------------------------------------------------
sql>alter database recover managed standby database;
(Here it will stay like that only)

go to primary side
---------------------
]$sqlplus '/as sysdba'
This is in mount stage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
How do we know whether it is in mounted stage or not ?
use the following query
sql> select status from v$database;

mounted
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sql>alter database open;

sql>show parameter log_archiv_dest

You will see all the values

for checking purpose generate some archive logs in the primary

database
sql>alter system switch logfile;
sql>/

sql>/

How to check it in standby database;

--------------------------------------
In stand by database
]$cd /home/prd/arch

arch]$ls
archives are generating
----------------------------------------------------------
Note:
 go to /home/prd/arch
check it is whether is generating or not
yes generating

-----------------------------------------------------------

go to prmary side:
---------------------

sql>select * from all_users;

7 users

create one user

sql>grant connect,resource to amit identified by amit;

sql>conn amit/amit;

create one table and insert some data

sql>conn /as sysdba

sql>show user;
SYS

checking purpose primary side

sql>alter system switch lofile;

system altered
sql>/
sql>/

goto standby databse side

sql>alter database recover managed standby database;

like this only
 ctrl + c ( it will come out)

sql>alter database open read only;

database altered

sql>select * from all_users;

7 rows selected

sql>conn amit/amit;
connected

sql>select * from tab;

test

sql>select * from test;

u will see the data
DONE

standbyside
--------------
again how to put in recover mode

sql>conn /as sysdba

sql>shut immediate;
sql>startup nomount;
sql>alter database mount standby database;
database altered

sql>alter database recover managed standby database;

It will stay like that only

we can do dml and ddl or any operations.

go to primary side

sql>select * from all_usrs;

sql>drop user amit cascade;

user dropped

sql>grnat connect,resource to ravi identified by ravi;

sql>conn ravi/ravi;
create a table and insert data

sql>conn /as sysdba

sql>show user;

SYS

sql>alter system switch logfile;

sql>/
sql>/
sql>/

goto standby database side

--------------------------

sql>alter database recover managed standby database;

staying like this
ctrl + c ( to stop mrp process)
or
open other treminal
]$sqlplus '/as sysdba'
]$export ORACLE_SID=PRD
]$sqlplus '/as sysdba'

sql>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

 database altered
sql>alter database recover managed standby database;
Then it will come out

sql> alter database open read only;

sql>select * from all_usrs;

user dropped and user created.

done second time

stand by side
----------------
sql>shut immediate;
sql>starup nomount;

sql>alter database mount standby database;

database altered

sql>alter database recover managed standby database;

just waiting like this

----------------------------@@@@@@@@@@____________________

If some thing happened to primary server then how to make

standby database as primary server.
