Create single instance standby database for RAC Database

here i created a physical standby database stbydb for RAC database primdb instance names primdb1 and primdb2 , server names:- DC1 and DC2.

PRIMARY RAC DATABASE INSTANCE PRIMDB1 IN HOST MACHINE DC1
PRIMARY RAC DATABASE INSTANCE PRIMDB2 IN HOST MACHINE DC2

CREATING A STANDBY DATABASE IN SERVER DC2 WITH NAME STBYDB

ASSUMPTION:
Primary:

· The RAC Primary Database is in fully operating condition in Archivelog mode using ASM storage (shared location) as archivelog destination.
· The Primary Database is using ASM as Storage and OMFs.
· Listener LISTENER has already been created.

steps in primary database Servers:-
# Database must in Archivelog mode.
# Enable Force Logging.
# Create the Standby Redo logs.
# Create a password file for all instances( Password must same in all nodes).
# Update listener.ora file to include SID information on each node in cluster.
# Verify cluster Service is available.
# Verify TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# Modify init.ora Parameters For DataGuard Configuration.
# Create temporary directory to hold the RMAN backup of this database.
# Backup the Primary Database for Standby.
# copy the Primary Database backup to the standby database server to create standby database.

steps in Standby database server:-
# create required folders and directories.
# Modify the init.ora parameter on standby database.
# create a password file(Password must same as primary database instances)
# Update listener.ora file to include SID information
# Add required TNS entries for standby database on all servers.
# Verify TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# Create standby database.

work around:-
======================================

create password file again on both rac node database and also on standby database

[oracle@dc1 dbs]$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwprimdb1 password=oracle ignorecase=y force=y entries=5
[oracle@dc2 dbs]$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwprimdb2 password=oracle ignorecase=y force=y entries=5
[oracle@dc2 dbs]$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwstbydb password=oracle ignorecase=y force=y entries=5

add the parameter on all databases
SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON=FALSE
