How to Setup Data Guard Physical Standby in Oracle Database 18c

This post applies to 12c and 19c as well, it introduced two popular ways for creating a standby database: RMAN DUPLICATE and from primary database backup

Introduction

This post demonstrates how to build an Oracle 18c physical standby database managed by data guard.  The method should also apply to 12c and 19c as well.

RMAN-05001: auxiliary file name conflicts with a file used by the target database

In 11g, duplicate a standby database from active database with “RMAN-05001” error:

RMAN> run {
      duplicate target database for standby from active database;
      }

RMAN-05001: auxiliary file name /u02/oradata/TESTDBSTY/sysaux01.dbf 
            conflicts with a file used by the target database

WORKAROUND

The issue is a bug, it seems the file system for both primary and standby database are the same, though “db_file_name_convert” and “log_file_name_convert” are configured already.

Add “NOFILENAMECHECK” option into duplicate RMAN command:

RMAN> run 
      {
         duplicate target database for standby 
         from active database nofilenamecheck;
      }

This issue does not happen on 12c, so it seems a bug for 11g.
