Standby Database files names and locations

During standby database creation a standby control file is created for the primary database, shipped to the standby server and restored as the standby control file. The standby control file created on the primary server contains the names of the primary datafiles, tempfiles and redo logs. In case the primary and the standby databases have different structure (different file names and/or locations), or storage type is different for the primary and the standby (ASM and filesystem), database files must be renamed in the standby control file to match the storage type and the structure of the standby database. This is automatically done by Dbvisit Standby.
