Good morning fellows
Here at the company we are planning to change our whole production platform, including the servers and the storage. The latter comes with a replication mechanism which replicate(in a block basis) all the data to a remote site, hence making our data guard configuration a redundant solution. As a Oracle DBA i think dataguard should be the preferred method for replication of our oracle production database, but i need some more details regarding this topic in order to give the right recommendation(because maybe, just maybe, the storage replication could do the job we need).
Here are a few details about our Data Guard configuration:
- Our Database version is 11Gr2
- We have a RAC to one physical standby replication
- We don't use active dataguard
- We just use the standby site for DR situations, never for offloading reports to this site or anything else.
Any good advice will be helpful, as i don't have experience with storage replication and its good to hear it from experienced DBA.
Regards
