Chapter 8. Integrating Data Guard with the Complete Oracle Environment
After preparing a Data Guard configuration by creating one or more standby databases, we should also integrate this configuration with the existing Oracle environment. This integration lets us benefit from Oracle Data Guard more effectively, makes it more robust and easily manageable, and also serves the purpose of Maximum Availability.
In this chapter, we'll discuss integrating the Data Guard configuration with the following Oracle software products:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
Recovery Manager (RMAN)
Real Application Cluster (RAC)
Let's start with learning how we can incorporate Data Guard installations into an existing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control configuration.
