Data migration/RMAN setup/Data Guard configuration - What order should they be done?
Platform: 2xLinux servers running 11gR1 Oracle enterprise servers with starter databases
I am in the middle of reading RMAN manual, and know nothing of setting up Data Guard yet. However, both servers are ready for data migration using import/export. I have no ideas how these three operations interact to one another. Should I set up Data Guard first with archivelog mode on for both servers, import data on server 1 hoping the data will propagate to server 2 thru Data Guard (I am guessing), and then set up RMAN backup on both servers? What is the proper order to acomplish these three tasks?
