Data Guard - ASM primary to filesystem physical standby - using RMAN duplicate

ASM databases and filesystem databases run together in Oracle Data Guard, it helps us move database
into or take if out of ASM disks/filesystem without concern on data loss.

Notes:
db_create_file_dest is the key because of the nature of ASM+OMF dynamic name with their rules.
//*online_log*dest* plays the same role.

Steps
Use RMAN duplicate cocmmand to create Data Gurard with ASM primary and filesystem physcial
standby.
1) have RMAN backup primary database (either ASM or on filesytem)
2) create parameter file, password file, tnsnames.ora entry, filesystem or ASM diskgroup for standby
database, and optional listener for standby.
3) make sure backup in step 1 is avaiable for standby server.
4) call RMAN duplicate command
5) start log apply in standby database

Example:
10gR2(10.2.0.1), primary database: db10g on ASM disks, standby database db10gs on filesystem. Both
databases on the same server.

-- 1. backup of primary database

[oracle@dbhost1 ~]$ rman target /

RMAN> backup device type disk format='/d02/backup/db10g%U.bkp' incremental level 0 database
include current controlfile for standby plus archivelog;

-- 2. create pfile of standby database

[oracle@dbhost1 ~]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> create pfile='db10g.pfile' from spfile;

[oracle@dbhost1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ mv db10g.pfile initdb10gs.ora
[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ vi initdb10gs.ora

-- ...
-- db_create_file_dest ='/d07/oradata'
-- db_recovery_file_dest ='/d07/fra'
-- ...

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ export ORACLE_SID=db10gs

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

-- 3. create password file of standby database

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ orapwd file=orapwdb10gs password=<my_password>

-- 4. create folders of standby database

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ mkdir -p /d01/oracle/10g/admin/db10gs
...
-- datafile location, flush recovery area location
[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ mkdir -p /d07/oradata
[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ mkdir -p /d07/fra

-- 5. listener.ora and tnsnames.ora entry of standby database

-- 6. RMAN duplicate command

[oracle@dbhost1 dbs]$ rman target sys/<sys_password>@<target database> auxiliary /

connected to target database: DB10G (DBID=83196489)

connected to auxiliary database (not started)

RMAN> startup auxiliary nomount

RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover;

Note: Even without duplicate command, We can still do it with above commands with variance. This is
what my focus on.
