I'm in a weird situation.   The dba before i joined this company setup the dataguard environment and although it's applying the logs successfully, I see these messages in the alert log.   It's annoying.

PRIMARY:

Tue May  5 10:47:10 2009
RFS: Possible network disconnect with primary database
RFS: Destination database mount ID mismatch [0x9a40bd93:0x9a5d198b]
RFS: client instance is standby database instead of primary
RFS: Not using real application clusters

STANDBY:

Can't seem to figure it out.  Any help is appreciated.

I figured this out.  It was a simple fix.   The previous dba that was managing this database did a manual switchover and back. 

The standby database still had the log_archive_dest_2 pointing to the primary while it was a standby and applying logs.  

I updated log_archive_dest_state_2 and it stopped.

Just an FYI, I did that on the STANDBY database not the primary.   Don't do that on the PRIMARY or it will stop shipping the archive logs all together.

Cheers,
