SAN mirroring from RAC production to non-RAC DR
891002Mar 21 2012 — edited Mar 22 2012Hi Experts:
My client has a new project using 11gR2 and due to various reasons, they need to do the followings:
- Production Application #1 - 2 UNIX machines (likely AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
- Production Application #2 - 1 UNIX machine (AIX) running Oracle 11gR2 RAC, data residing on SAN
- DR site - Use 1 UNIX machine to host DBs (i.e. all non-RAC) for for both Applications #1 & #2.
Data are replicated from production to DR via SAN mirroring. (Clients decide not to use DataGuard for whatever reason).
I tried to find related info from Oracle website and Metalink with no luck.
Can anyone share there experiences on this , such as:
- Any restrictions or limitations ?
- Can we use only 1 Oracle binaries to host both DBs in DR site ?
- What about fallback from DR site back to the 2 production sites (1 RAC, 1 non-RAC) ?
Thanks and Regards
