creation of standby redolog for physical standby server (dataguard)
I have created physical standby server (dataguard not with dataguard broker) on 10g (10.2.0.4 on IBM AIX 5.3L) with maximum availability mode. Switchover and failover are done manually not with dataguard broker. During dataguard creation I created standby redolog files on primary as well. The reason for this is to avoid creation of standby redolog files during switchover or failover. I have tested switchover multiple times on Test environment as well as on Production and they seems to be working fine.
My question therefore is; are there any scenarios in which creating standby redolog files on primary at the time of creation of physical standby server will cause any problem because for the past 2 and half years i have done multiple switchovers and there seems to be no error whatso ever.
