    To properly setup the Data Guard Broker agent you will need to have the following configuration:

    DGMGRL will need to be configured as the means to manage/configure DataGuard

    A local parallel service group for the Storage and Oracle Resources The Oracle agent (Should you chose to use it) will also have to configured to use the following: 

    StartUpOpt = SRVCTLSTART

    Additionally, CRS will need to be configured to start the Database in "Mount" mode.

    The Network Listener will have to be managed by CRS

    This will allow for the OraDG agent to properly promote and demote each instance from Primary to Physical Standby (and vice versa).

    The service group for the Oracle DataGuard Agent will have to be Global/Parallel and have an online-local-soft dependency on the Oracle Service group. Make sure that the SG name and resource name are identical across sites.

    Take a look at OraDG guide for more details.

     Hope this helps,
