To configure Data Guard Standby start/stop and probe scripts, change

directories to ${

ORACLE_BASE}/admin/<DBNAME>/scripts and copy the

reference scripts from the /opt/polyserve/mxdb_oracle_ha/lib directory to

your current directory. Next, create symbolic links as shown in the

following example:

$ cd $ORACLE_BASE/admin/${ORACLE_SID}/scripts

$ cp /opt/polyserve/mxdb_oracle_ha/lib/DG*sql .

$ ls -lgG

Configuring SQL*Net for Data Guard

Unlike non-Data Guard databases, MxDB-Oracle-HiAv offers no support

for automatically configuring SQL*Net for your Data Guard databases.

The best approach to deploying MxDB-Oracle-HiAv-in conjunction with

Data Guard is to get Data Guard fully functional before you create a

Virtual Oracle Service for the database. Once Data Guard is fully

functional, it is quite simple to change the SQL*Net files so that the HOST

assignments use the Virtual Oracle Service VHOST instead of the real

host name, and then use the MxDB-Oracle-HiAv GUI to create the Virtual

Oracle Service. In such a case you simply check the button that tells the
