I added 6 more standby redo log groups to thread 2. Didn't make any
difference. Still seeing the message "RFS[8]: No standby redo logfiles
available for T-2". Today's dgmgrl output:

Hi Sandra,
Given that you have 2 primary instances (each with 4 redo groups), you
need to create 2x4=8+2 standby redo logs.
So try adding 6 more add more standby redo log groups.
Please let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Leng.

We are moving our 2-node RAC database to a single instance primary-standby
configuration. We have only 1 instance running; we are not using both
nodes. I am trying to create the first standby and ensure it's syncing
with Real Time Apply before proceeding. I have created the standby
database, but can't seem to manage to get it to actually use REAL TIME
APPLY. It says it started managed recover with Real Time Apply in the
alert log, but then I see it's not using the SRLs I added. I've looked at
several blogs and docs in MOS as well, and still have not been able to get
it to recognize the SRLs. It will ship and apply the log if we do a log
switch, but our DR policy is to use RTA. I created SRLs without the THREAD
parameter and it created them for thread 0. That didn't work for me so I
created SRLs for thread 1 and 2. The alert log says there are not standby
redo logfiles available for T-2. I also ensured the size matched the
primary online redo. Do I need more SRLs for T-2 and none for T-0 and
T-1? Completely lost and confused at this point. I could really use some
help figuring out where I went wrong.
