Just set it up now. We have a remote site which just needs startup and
shutdown capabilities, and only for those
times when the network is down, a dba is unavailable or cannot get to the
offsite server, and maintenance must be
performed. This will allow them to bring the database down gracefully,
whereas before, they just basically "pulled
the plug".
