The configuration documents of the Oracle physical standby database are compiled in

the foregoing. The data files are stored on the file system. In the production
environment, the DBA is often faced with tens of hundreds of G data, and may even
be a T-level file system. The I/O problems of storing data files in these occasions
will gradually be exposed. Therefore, the data storage in the production
environment generally uses ASM, or bare devices. Oracle 11g does not support the
storage of data by bare devices at first, so this lecture is mainly This section
describes how to configure the Data guard physical standby database in the ASM
environment.

Add a new standby log group to the main library and switch logs. It is still not
possible to synchronize on the standby database.

SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 4 size 50M;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 5 size 50M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 6 size 50M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 7 size 50M;
SQL> alter system switch logfile;

The guess may be that there is no primary directory under the ASM disk group.
Create a related directory under the ASM disk group, add a new log group after
deleting the standby log group on the primary library, and switch the log to find
that the standby log group cannot be synchronized. Later, I tried to put the
standby log group on the file system on the main library. After switching the log,
the standby database could not be created synchronously!
Later, after the problem was passed through the switchover, manually create the
standby log group on the original physical standby database!
