I verified all online and standby logs are the same size on both the
primary and the standby. Unfortunately, we no longer have Oracle support.
My boss cancelled it earlier this year as a money saving strategy. We do
have support from Spinnaker, but they've been less than helpful the last 3
times I tried to get help from them. Guess that's my only option right
now. Worst case scenario, I wipe out the standby and start all over. I
was trying to avoid that scenario.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Ok, kind of a shot in the dark, but look at the gv$standby_logfile view

thats not the issue, get with Oracle support, I cant think of anything

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.

OS: RHEL6

Primary: RAC
Standby: Single instance
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.
