This document offers step by step procedure to create physical standby from ASM primary.
Database Name :- chicago
Primary db_unique_name :- chicago
standby db_unique_name :- Boston
Primary Hostname :- raca.idc.oracle.com
standby Hostname :- core1.idc.oracle.com
SOLUTION
1. Enable Force Logging,
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Database altered.
2. On the primary node, create a staging directory. For example:
3. Create the same exact path on the standby host:
4. On the primary node, connect to the primary database and create a PFILE from the SPFILE in the staging directory. For example:
5. On the primary node, perform an RMAN backup of the primary database that places the backup pieces into the staging directory. For example:
2> backup device type disk format '/home/oracle/stage/%U' database;
3> backup device type disk format '/home/oracle/stage/%U' current controlfile for standby;
4> }

RMAN>
6. Copy the contents of the staging directory from primary to standby's staging location. For example
oracle@core1's password:
01k8650r_1_1 100% 236MB 10.7MB/s 00:22
02k8651v_1_1 100% 6016KB 5.9MB/s 00:00
03k86525_1_1 100% 5984KB 5.8MB/s 00:01
boston.ora 100% 458 0.5KB/s 00:00
[oracle@raca stage]$
7. Prepare the initialization file for standby instance
[oracle@core1 ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata
[oracle@core1 oradata]$ mkdir redo data ctrl bdump udump srl arc1
[oracle@core1 oradata]$
Set the below parameters in init.ora of standby,
*.db_create_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata/boston/data/'
*.db_create_online_log_dest_1='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata/boston/redo/'
*.db_file_name_convert='+DATA/chicago/datafile/','/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata/boston/data/','+DATA/chicago/tempfile/','/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata/boston/data/'
*.log_file_name_convert='+DATA/chicago/onlinelog/','/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/oradata/boston/redo/'
*.db_unique_name=boston
NOTE: For RAC primary to non RAC standby , include below line in the standby init.ora,
cluster_database=false
8. Create password file for standby database
[oracle@core1 dbs]$orapwd file=orapwboston password=oracle
[oracle@core1 dbs]$ ls -ltr *boston*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 1536 Mar 3 15:55 orapwboston
9. Compose a tnsnames or connect string at standby server
chicago =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =raca.idc.oracle.com )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = chicago)
)
)
boston =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =core1.idc.oracle.com )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = boston)
)
)
chicago will connect to primary while boston connects to standby itself

13. Compose tnsnames or connect strings at Primary server
chicago =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =raca.idc.oracle.com )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = chicago)
)
)
boston =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =core1.idc.oracle.com )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = boston)
)
)
Boston will connect to standby while chicago connects to primary itself

(maximum number of logfiles for each thread + 1) * maximum number of threads
For example, if the primary database has 3 log files for each thread and 2 threads, then 8 standby redo log file groups are needed on the standby database.
Verify the standby redo log file groups were created
