Oracle 10g r2 standby startup question

We are on Oracle 10G R2 on SLES 10-/SPK2.

Could someone tell me the proper way to startup a standby database after a reboot so it can start applying arcfiles.. In past I always used startup but apparently that's not it because the Arcfiles keep increasing.

I already have the listener started I see that running..

do I use a startup nomount and something else?


Thanks

Else, you could just look it up in the fine Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration manual.
:rolleyes:

Hi,

Use "startup nomount" while want to start data guard or standby database.

So if I use startup nomount it automatically start applying arcfiles..

I'm using dataguard
