Bill,

        Past experience says no you don't have to have the exact same release. Now in your stated case you may be a touch too far apart. The real question is does each OS run the exact same release of Oracle?

Subject: Does dataguard require same o/s release on both servers

Greetings,

We are looking at implementing dataguard, 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition Oracle on Red Hat Linux. The question has been raised as to whether the O/S version must be the same on the primary and the standby. If the primary were to run RHEL4 and the standby were to be running RHEL5 would that create problems? I have not found any documentation indicating a requirement that the O/S be at the same release.

Thanks.
