Recover standby database !!
598389Oct 15 2008 — edited Oct 16 2008Hello,
I heared that to save CPU cycles and resources it is recommended to backup standby database instead of Prime database. i have AIX 5.3 running over HACMP Oracle 9i RAC. I have a physical standby.
What i am looking for to backup this standby database and recover in standlone machine. I have tried several things but i am not sure i am doing right or wrong..
1) i took backup of controlfile from Primary and backup of standby database. - Didnt work
2) taken binary control file from standby box and tried to recover database - Didnt work
3) As controlfile is standby controlfile so i cant use recover database using backup controlfile..
If any body has any experiance on this . please share.. What could be process to recover a standby database.
Many thanks
