I think the online redo log was answered already. There are two ways to create the standby redo logs 1. Since you used Grid Control, use the Verification tool to check your standby. It'll more than likely notic you don't have standby redo logs and ask to create them. You can then enable real-time sql apply 2. You could use this scripts I wrote last year for logical standby creation from scratch. It is basd on 10gR2 recommendations: Prompt Configuring Standby Redo Logs for Real Time SQL Apply Prompt Sizes must exactly match those of the Online Redo Logs!!!! Prompt Minimally, the configuratin should have one more standby Prompt redo log file gruop than the number of online redo log Prompt file groups on the primary.
