Restarting a Standby Database Creation

There are three possible scenarios when you may wish to restart creation of the standby database:

  1. Previous run of the setup utility terminated with an error while creating a standby database. The error can be caused by various reasons, for example network connection failure. The restart will start from the last operation.

  2. You have chosen to stop after backing database to a temporary location on a primary server while creating a standby database using a temporary location or creating a standby database from ASM primary database.

  3. You have chosen to use Transportable Media and Dbvisit Standby has completed the first step and the media device has now been plugged into the standby server.

To restart uncompleted creation of a standby database:

1. Start the Dbvisit Standby setup utility.

2. To create a standby database, choose option 7.

3. Choose the primary database to create a standby for. Only Dbvisit Standby configured databases will be shown :

4. The primary database must be up and running for the setup to proceed. Total size of the primary database is calculated and displayed. If uncompleted creation of the standby database is detected, a restart option will be available:
