12cR1 RAC Posts -- 8a : Setting up SingleInstance DG Standby for RAC

This is the first of a small series of subposts on setting up SingleInstance DataGuard Standby for my 12cR1 RAC environment.

Primary Database : 12cR1 MultiTenant RAC : 2 nodes, database on ASM
Standby Database : 12cR1 MultiTenant SingleInstance : 1 node, database on FileSystem

The "difficulties" are :
a.  The Primary Database is MultiTenant with 1 PDB besides the SEED
b.  The Primary Database is on ASM but the Standby is to be built on FileSystem
c.  The Primary is a 2-node Cluster while the Standby is a SingleInstance installatin

This post is on the initial setup.

STBY Instance Parameter File :

Copying the Password File :
ASMCMD> pwcopy +DATA/RAC/PASSWORD/pwdrac.277.931824933 /var/tmp/RACPasswordFile
copying +DATA/RAC/PASSWORD/pwdrac.277.931824933 -> /var/tmp/RACPasswordFile
ASMCMD> exit
scp /var/tmp/RACPasswordFile oracle@oem132:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs/orapwSTBY


to be continued in post 8b on the filesystem directories for the STBY instance and the execution of the DUPLICATE DATABASE command.
