Hi Ujang
The only way to resolve this is to rebuild your primary
You need to clone your now primary(old standby) to the old primary
location as standby  and then allow it to update itself. It is a pain
but that is how it is in 9.x 
 
In order of speed to do such a thing 
1)    Mirrored snapshots from SAN, likely only need  small amount of
redo to bring up to date
2)     RMAN Dupliaction as standby
3)     Bulid it from scratch using a cold backup
 
Interestingly in the 10.2 with Flashback there is a new possiblity 
Flashback Database removes the need to re-create the primary database
after a failover.

It might eventually be a good reason to upgrade your to 10.2 or later
sometime down the track
 
Cheers

Subject: failover and huge data size in dataguard env


folks, 

quote from oracle docs server.920/a96653/role_management.htm#1023666

"As a result of the failover operation, the original primary database
can no longer participate in the Data Guard configuration, and all other
standby databases are now receiving and applying redo data from the new
primary database." 

the above statement, because of RESETLOGS issue when failover data guard
environment, which restart the SCN number back to 1. 
see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osre
cov009.htm

does anyone have experience how to participating the original primary db
which has been crashed prior to failover to the new data guard
configuration? 
I think about how to make SCN in the crashed original primary db's
datafile to SCN 1, so the synchronization will match.

imagine, when we have TB in size, should we re-create standby database
for participating in the new data guard configuration?
