Notice that thread 1 (node 1) is missing sequences 653, 655 and 657. Similarly thread 2 is missing sequence#263.
Question is how to bring these missing archivelogs from ASM@primary cluster (they are still sitting on disk @primary)?
Solution: I use a 3-step process there
step 1: Use RMAN "copy" command to copy these to a cooked filesystem on the primary cluster
step 2: Scp the restored (copied) archivelogs to the standby cluster
step 3: Recover (automatic) standby database and supply the scp'ed archivelog under cooked FS.
First, query the ASM@primary to get the exact name/location of these archives --

step 1: Execute the RMAN copy command (primary cluster). Set the env to the database first.

Hi Ravi, Thanks for the useful information.
we are having a RAC primary and Single instance standby, Is this method holds good for the same? bcos , in single instance only 1 thread and log, were as in RAC 2 threads and two different logs.
Anand,
Yes, that is correct -- I've used that several times. Copy command will work as long as those archives are available in asm. You may also try the "thread thread#" clause during copy.
Thanks Monitor lcd,
Your feedback is much appreciated.
BTW, I can't get to you blogspot -- it says page not found

Hi Ravi,
You may also try the "thread thread#" clause during
Can you show me on how you do this?
Ahiruddin,
I'm not getting your question. Can you be a bit more clear on that please?
Thanks,
Wat's the solution if your Primary database got crashed and if you have archive log gap in standby?
Will Rman copy work even if your Primary is down?
If control file is still available, you can start database in mount state and use the same steps.
