PRIMARY STANDBY
DB_NAME prod prod
DB_UNIQUE_NAME prod test
LISTENER NAME primary standby
TNS NAME tostandby toprimary

Primary Database side:

Step 1:

Enable forced logging on your primary database:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Step 2:

Create a password file if it doesnt exist.
To check if a password file already exists, run the following command
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
$cd %ORACLE_HOME%\database
$orapwd file=orapw$ORACLE_SID.ora password=xxxxxxxx force=y
Step 3:

Create pfile from spfile for the primary database
SQL>create pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/pfileprod.ora from spfile;
Steps 4:
pfile Parameters for primary database
db_name=prod
db_unique_name=prod
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(prod,test)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1=
'LOCATION=/u01/prod/crd/arch
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=prod'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2=
'SERVICE=tostandby LGWR ASYNC
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=test'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1=ENABLE
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=%t_%s_%r.arc
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
FAL_SERVER=tostandby
FAL_CLIENT=toprimary
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO

Step 5:
Enable Archiving on Primary.
If your primary database is not already in Archive Log mode, enable the archive log mode:
SQL>shutdown immediate;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>alter database archivelog;
SQL>alter database open;
SQL>archive log list;
Step 6:
Create a Control File for the Standby Database
sql> startup mount;
sql> alter database create standby controlfile as '/u01/control.ctl';
sql> alter database open;
sql> shut immediate;

Step 7:
Copy Datafiles, redo logfiles, standby control file and pfile from Primary database to Standby database.

STANDBY DATABASE SIDE:
Step 1:
Modifying Initialization Parameters for a Physical Standby Database

DB_NAME=prod
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=test
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(prod,test)'
CONTROL_FILES='/u01/test/crd/control.ctl'
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='prod','test'
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=
'/u01/prod/crd /u01/test/crd
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=log%t_%s_%r.arc
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1=
'LOCATION=/u01/test/arch/
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=test'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2=
'SERVICE=toprimary LGWR ASYNC(it shut be in cap locs (LGWR ASYNC))
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=prod'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1=ENABLE
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO
FAL_SERVER=toprimary
FAL_CLIENT=tostandby
Step 2:
Set up environment support by standby database
Export ORACLE_SID=test
Export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0./dbhome_1
Export PARH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Step 3:
Create a password file
$cd %ORACLE_HOME%\database
$orapwd file=orapw$ORACLE_SID.ora password=xxxxxxxx force=y

Step 4:
Configure listeners for the primary and standby databases.
PRIMARY:
Lsnrctl start primary
STANDBY:
Lsnrctl start standby
Step 5:
Create oracle net service names:
PRIMARY: tnsping tostandby
STANDBY: tnsping toprimary
Step 6:
Start the PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE:
SQL> startup nomount;
SQL> create spfile from pfile;
SQL>startup force nomount;
SQL>alter database mount standby database;
SQL>alter database open;
Step 7:
INITIATE LOG APPLY SERVICES
SQL>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Step 8:
TO STOP LOG APPLY SERVICES
SQL>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

CHANGING MODES

By default it will be in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
CHANGING TO MAXIMUM AVALIBALITY
At Standby location add STANDBY logfiles
Step 1:
SQL>alter database add standby logfile group3 /u01/test/crd/redo4.log size 11m;
SQL>alter database add standby logfile group3 /u01/test/crd/redo4.log size 11m;

Step 2:
Make changes in pfile at Primary Location:
Log_archive_dest_2=service=tostandby lgwr sync affirm
Step 3:
SQL>shut immediate
SQL>startup nomount
Step 4:
SQL>alter database set standby database to maximize availability;
Step 5:
SQL>select protection_mode from v$database;
Step 6:
SQL>alter database open

CHANGING TO MAXIMUM PROTECTION

At Standby location add STANDBY logfiles
Step 1:
SQL>alter database add standby logfile group3 /u01/test/crd/redo4.log size 11m;
SQL>alter database add standby logfile group3 /u01/test/crd/redo4.log size 11m;
Step 2:
Make changes in pfile at Primary Location:
Log_archive_dest_2=service=tostandby lgwr sync affirm
Step 3:
SQL>shut immediate
SQL>startup nomount
Step 4:
SQL>alter database set standby database to maximize protection;
Step 5:
SQL>select protection_mode from v$database;

Step 6:
SQL>alter database open

SWITCH OVER
Physical standby
Step1:
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to physical standyby;
SQL>shut immediate;
SQL>startup nomount
SQL>select database_role from from v$database;
SQL>select open_mode from v$database;
Standby location
Step 1:
SQL>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to primary;
SQL>shut immediate;
SQL>startup nomount;
SQL>select database_role from v$database;
SQL>alter database open;
SQL>select open_mode from v$database;
Check wheather its working properly
SQL>alter system switch logfile;
SQL>archive log list;
FAIL OVER
Standby database
Step 1:
SQL>alter database recover managed standby database finish;
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to primary;
SQL>select database_role from v$database;
Primary locataion
STEP 1:
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to physical standby
ORA-16416:switch over target is not synchronized with primary
