nologging issue and raw devices have nothing to do with each other. If you are asking for raw devices - Oracle will restore datafile directly on your raw device providing you renamed it (SET NEW NAME in RMAN before restore and recovery or ALTER DATABASE in SQL*Plus). It's common practice to use soft links to raw devices - this way you can have the same path on standby.
you mean oracle will be replaced the raw by new file through RMAN? I asking this for sure, and how to check? from alert log? or where? By the way, there is one flaw with your implementation. Since your
primary is on FS - it's easy to add new datafile without a single thought about standby.
ya i put standby_file_management=MANUAL, so whatever changes to the db structur, i have to re-execute command for standby to match with raw. If on standby you don't create respective raw
device - it will stuck. If you have raw devices on both primary and standby - there are less chances that you forget raw device on standby but still.
you mean can I put standby_file_management=AUTO? and how about db structure changes? i think at least the raw on standby should be configured same as primary.... In my experience, opposite setup works much better - raw devices on
primary and filesystem on standby.
can use standby_file_management=AUTO and how about changes with db structure? regards Ujang dba@indonesia
