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 root (Solaris) or AgfaService (Windows) user.

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

  3. To continue the Oracle Data Guard configuration:

    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.

  4. At the prompt, About to enable log_archive_dest_1 on Primary. Has Data Guard been configured on the Standby?, type yes.

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

  6. For AS3000 Oracle Clients, also copy the /usr/mvf/odbc32v52/odbc.ini file.

  7. To free up disk space, clean up the RMAN backup created by the Data Guard configuration by typing:

    rman target /

    delete backup;


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