Completing the Data Guard configuration

Linking the two servers, a final Oracle Data Guard configuration task is necessary.

To complete the Data Guard configuration

  1. Log into the primary server as the oracle (Solaris) or AgfaService (Windows) user.

  2. If the primary database is not started, start it up by typing

    sqlplus / as sysdba

    startup;

    exit;

  3. Change to the /usr/mvf/bin (Solaris) or C:\mvf\bin (Windows) directory.

  4. To continue the Oracle Data Guard configuration, log in as root (Solaris) or AgfaService user (Windows).

  5. On Solaris, type ./setup_dg.

    On Windows Server 2008, either 32-bit or 64-bit, open an elevated command prompt. To open an elevated command prompt, select Start, right-click Command Prompt, then select Run as administrator.

    On Windows, type bash setup_dg.

  6. At the prompt, About to enable log_archive_dest_1 on Primary. Has Data Guard been configured on the Standby?, type "y".

  7. When prompted, manually copy the tnsnames.ora.client file to the Oracle Client stations.

  8. On Solaris systems, manually copy the /export/mvf/odbc32v52/odbc.ini file to the same location on the Network Gateway servers.


Next you must configure RMAN backups on the primary and standby servers.
