How To Add Redo Logfiles In Standby Database

 

Step 1. First, Check MEMBER present in Standby Database.

SQL> select member from v$logfile;

MEMBER
———————————-
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO03.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO02.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO01.LOG

 

Step 2. Cancel the recovery Process.

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

 

Step 3. Check the standby_file_management parameter and set the parameter to MANUAL.

SQL> show parameter standby_file_management

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
———————————— ———– ——
standby_file_management              string      AUTO

SQL> alter system set standby_file_management=manual scope=both;

SQL> show parameter standby_file_standby_file_management;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
———————————— ———– ——
standby_file_management              string      MANUAL

 

Step 4. Add Redo Logfiles in Standby Database.

SQL> alter database add logfile group 4 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO04.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add logfile group 5 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO05.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add logfile group 6 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO06.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 7 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO07.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 8 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO08.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 9 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\STdREDO09.LOG’ size 250M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 10 ‘E:\STANDBYLOGS\STdREDO10.LOG’ size 250M;

 

Step 5. Check the Redo Logfiles.

SQL> col members for 999999999
SQL> set lines 120 pages 1000
SQL> select group#,members,status from v$log;

    GROUP#    MEMBERS STATUS
———- ———- —————-
         1          1 CLEARING
         2          1 CLEARING
         3          1 CLEARING
         4          1 UNUSED
         5          1 CLEARING_CURRENT
         6          1 UNUSED

SQL> select member from v$logfile;

MEMBER
————————
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO03.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO02.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO01.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO04.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO05.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\REDO06.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO07.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO08.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO09.LOG
E:\STANDBYLOGS\STDREDO10.LOG

10 rows selected.

 

Step 6. Check the standby_file_management parameter and set the parameter to AUTO.

SQL> alter system set standby_file_management=auto scope=both;

 

Step 7. Finally, Activate the Recovery Process.

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
