Unix, 8.0.5. I try to create a standby site on 2nd server. here are the steps I did:
backup all datafiles and copy to standby site
>alter database create standby controlfile as '/ora/backup/standby.ctl';
>alter system archive log current;
copy(ftp) /ora/backup/standby.ctl to standby site using the current new /ora/cntl1/control01.ctl, /ora/cntl2/control02.ctl.
make sure, init, directories all correct.
>startup nomount
>alter database mount standby database;
then get error
ora-00209

here is the error from alert file:
alter database mount standby database
Wed Dec 27 14:30:53 2000
ORA-00218: block size 0 of controlfile does not match DB_BLOCK_SIZE (8192)
