Dbvisit has guided process which will guide you through the process of creating (instantiating) standby database. CSD process includes backup, tansfer and restore of primary database to the standby server. CSD process can be run in dbvcontrol, dbvctl command line, dbvcli command line and API. This page, will show you how to use dbvcontrol to run CSD process.
Important to notes:
Backup transfer and restore are done per single datafile and is parallelized, for example restore of datafile #2 runs in parallel to backup of datafile #3.
it is not possible to use or provide existing backup
by default, backup is compressed. If you have enough disk space and fast network, you can make backup and restore faster by specifying following variable in DDC file:
RMAN_DBF_BACKUP_TYPE=AS BACKUPSET
See <TBD> how to modify DDC filew
