Subject: 10g standby database setup question

I set up a test standby database and everything is fine.  I now want to
do
the same thing for our production database, but with the least amount of
downtime.

The database is in archivelog mode and force logging is on.
I'm creating the standby log files and making a copy of the pfile, but I
haven't
added any of the new parameters, yet (i.e. fal_server).

My plan is to take a backup of the database, copy the files to the
standby server,
then on Sunday shutdown the production database, modify the parameters,
create a
standby parameter file, create a standby control file, make the listener
mods I
need and bring the production server back up, with the log_archive_state
for the
standby destination set to 'defer' until I have the standby created and
ready to
receive redo.

Does anyone see a problem with this plan?  For the test system, I had
all of the
parameters set before I did the database backup.  I'm pretty sure that
won't make
a difference, though....
