Re: physical standby database managed/non-managed

Sandeep,

ssh allows for port-forwarding, if your network guys didn't diable this. I it is possible to create a so-called tunnel through portforwarding, even when several hops are involved.

I use this on a regular basis when I perform remote support. I can open tora or raptor from my desktop at home on a server of a customer, hopping from firewall through management server to the db-server. Actually I map a local port to the SQL*Net port of the db-server of the customer. The local tnsnames resolves the connect alias top the port I defined on localhost.

This allows for dataguard redo forwarding as well. When you use ssh with a compressing cipher-type you can even have the benefit of faster transfer.
