Running the Oracle Data Guard configuration on the standby server

After the Data Guard configuration is run on the primary server and before running the configuration on the standby server, the listener needs to be started.

To start the public listener

Log in as the oracle (Solaris) or AgfaService (Windows) user.
Type lsnrctl start listener_public.

After the listener service is started, run the Oracle Data Guard configuration on the standby server.

To run the Oracle Data Guard configuration on the standby server

On the standby server, log in as user root (Solaris) or AgfaService (Windows).
Change to the /usr/mvf/bin (Solaris) or C:\mvf\bin (Windows) directory.
On Solaris, type ./setup_dg.
or
On Windows Server 2008, either 32-bit or 64-bit, open an elevated command prompt by selecting Start, then right-clicking Command Prompt, then selecting Run as administrator. Then, type bash setup_dg
When prompted, provide the Flashback area and host name information requested.
When asked if you want to do the RMAN restore, type "n".
When asked about the manual restore, start up a separate prompt on the standby server and perform the procedures that follow to restore the database on the standby server in the new command prompt.

For the time being, leave the existing prompt alone.

Next, if using Solaris servers, share the primary Flashback Recovery Area and primary /dbase partition; otherwise, if using Windows servers, restore the database on the standby server.
