![Creating a Standby on 21c [Single Instance]](https://project42.site/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Standby_DBCA_21c-360x240.png)
For this post, I just wanted to test the same DBCA option we saw in the past to create Standby but this time on 21c. The first thing I have to clarify is that I will be using rac1-node1 to host the 21c primary database (cdb21) and rac1-node2 to host our new Standby (cdbst21). The... » read more

This has changed for each version, and since 18c, you can create the RAC Standby and they can have PDBs (will have an article about that soon 🙂 ) For this test,... » read more

You can read more about creating DBs on DBCA: Software + DB Creation, about Marvin and the automatic doors.. lets just leave there for now.. Sometimes however, what you... » read more

If that is not the case, please go to... » read more
