Remote Physical Data Guard Implementation on Oracle Solaris 10 x64 using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 makes data guard implementation a very simple process, carrying it out automatically in minutes, instead of having to carry it out manually in hours! Moreover, a number of data guard configurations can be deployed simultaneously through a user interface, simply, by entering the necessary information and by clicking a few buttons.

A primary production database may have a number of standby databases ready for a failover in case if it crashes. Standby databases may also be created for switchover operations that are performed to carry out maintenance operations on the primary production database.

Depending on the requirements, standby databases can be either physical or logical.

In my tutorial below, I will demonstrate to you how to remotely deploy a physical data guard configuration on Oracle Solaris x64 through Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3.

Time Duration: 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the degree of parallelism.
