Re: DataGuard

Mladen,    

  Yes Oracle 10G Dataguard broker works with RAC but IIRC u need to create the configuration using db_unique_name for things to work properly.

I was about to suggest RAC, when I read your email. I manage 9.2.0.8 RAC here in NYC and a physical standby in Louisville, KY. I don't know if Louisville is 2000 miles from Manhattan, but the standby works perfectly. As a matter of fact, last Sunday of each month we switch the roles (3 instances in 4 way cluster are shut down when the primary takes the role of standby database). Unfortunately, with 9.2.0.8 DG broker doesn't work with RAC configurations, so there is no automatic switch-over. Do you know if Oracle 10g supports DG broker with RAC? If Osama kills me, I need my database to switch over automatically, so that I can go to heck without being paged.
