We are implementing DataGuard on our Oracle 10.2.0.5 Solaris environment and I have a question.

We are creating a physical standby in MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY mode. We have redo log shipping between the two. The redo ships between the standby redo log groups between the primary and standby.

The documentation says that the standby redo is applid to the standby and then archived.

So do we have two sets of archive logs? One for the standby database it self and another set of archive logs produced from these standby redo logs?
