Creating a standby database for DR without DataGuard

 I am attempting to create a standby database for disaster recovery for a set of 2-node RAC databases using ASM on Windows.There is a secondary site with an identical setup, the same file locations (in NTFS and ASM).

I set up a similar arrangement without RAC or ASM in a unix environment and it worked very well. I have found numerous articles on how to do it but they are mostly for unix and not much for RAC or ASM

My original setup did not use RAC, but copied all the database files to identical locations on a separate server for the initial startup, so the database was a complete clone of the original.
