Is it possible to have a physical standby database on the same server as the primary database

I am trying to create a physical standby database on a development server. I have limited resources and am unable to create it on another server. I read somewhere that it is possible. However, I came across something that caused me concern. It seems that the oracle binaries must be installed in the standby environment. Is this true? Does anyone know the best way to create the standby on a test box?

I am trying to work with limited resources. I wanted to make sure that I was able to duplicate production as much as possible and I couldn't find specific instructions for creating a standby on the same server. Reading documentation that creates standby on different server made me wonder if i needed duplicate installation in my environment. I want to use Grid control GUI to create standby.
