Re: Standby database

Hi

I forgot to mention that the database I'm to create the standby for is not alone on this machine. IP-switching is therefore not an option (I'm not doing standby for the whole system). We are currently using HACMP with EMC but this is giving us much grieve (UNIX people anyway) so they want to get rid of it.

Thx

Jack

I don't think you want to do what you are saying.

For standby environment you would need to have some manual intervention
at the prod failure (well, I guess you could script it, but I
wouldn't).   What I'd do is configure the old prod host ip address on
the new prod host (the old standby that has been activated).  That way
you don't have to mess with a dns restart.  You may need to clear some
arp caches in some layer 2 & 3 network elements along the way,
however.  As an alternative, you could move the dns pointer record for
the db from the old prod host dns entry to the old standby entry, which
isn't a standby anymore, it is the new prod host.  Whichever is
easier.
