Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Standby db license for 8.1.6
Don:
This may not have any bearing on you because you are using Sun. I attended a free
seminar put on by Oracle and HP on "Continuity" and learned about this concept. I am
not sure
if it is available now or soon to be available. HP would set you up with more
processors than you need, but only charge you for the processors in use. Once the
additional
processors kicked in, (business suddenly picked up, for example), you would be charged
for them. Somehow they would notify HP support of their activity. And, likewise for
Oracle
licensing. So I would be baffled that you would have to pay for processor-based
licenses when no usage of the database is taking place.

If we put together a standby db (SUN 4500) is Oracle going to want more license money?
Our thinking is, the license(s) we already own on the production server (also a 4500) cover us to keep the standby db going. We will not use the stand-by server for anything else. There will be no user access at all. Our (hungry?) Oracle rep is telling us that this is a clear case of "multiply by existing license(s) by 2", doubling our license costs. (Let's ignore all of the issues of power unit, named users, etc. for this conversation.)
What has your experience been on this license issue for a standby db?
Thx
