To set the environment to run MaxAvailability Mode
Enable Automatic file management in the sites.
Enable Fast Start Failover
Start the Data Guard Broker Observer in the Observer Site
Once a broker configuration has been established addressing the Business' requirements for protecting the environment from data loss need to be considered and potentially addressed through further configuration of the Data Guard environment.
This document examines in detail the process for enabling the MaxAvailability and MaxProtection protection modes, Fast Start Failover and the Data Guard Observer.
Solution
The Current Broker Configuration
All sites are running 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
Configuring Failover Thresholds
Should you to alter the default Thresholds that determine when and why a failover may occur edit the following configuration settings
To alter the amount of time the observer attempts to reconnect to the Primary after it has detected problem and the number of seconds it waits on failed connect attempts before initiating a failover edit the configuration property FastStartFailoverThreshold.
DGMGRL> edit configuration set property FastStartFailoverThreshold=45;
Property "faststartfailoverthreshold" updated
Display the configuration to confirm the settings have been successfully altered.
Attempt to Enable Fast Start Failover
DGMGRL> enable fast_start failover;
Error: ORA-16651: requirements not met for enabling fast-start failover
Failed.
Currently there is the configuration does not allow fast start failover to be enabled.
Troubleshooting a failure in enabling Fast Start Failover
Looking at the error there are a number of potential causes for this error that include the mix of protection mode and Log shipping modes that the sites are currently configured with. These will need to altered.
Establish Max Protection Mode
As this Data Guard configuration is to run in MaxProtection mode the following is performed to establish this mode prior to enabling fast start failover.
Currently it is running MaxPerformance mode

Log Shipping is being performed using LGWR ASYNC as seen via the LogXPTMode property, Standby file management is set to Manual (StandbyFileManagement property) and no Fast Start Failover target (FastStartFailover property in the primary site) has been set. These will need to be altered.
Each site must also have Flashback Database enabled.
