No not really. In a SAN replication scenario, each data block is replicated in either sync or async mode - each write (redo, archive, and datafile writes) are replicated as they occur so you have to have a big "pipe" between your sites.

Isn't that kinda like Oracle's DataGuard?

Any of you guys/gals replicating LIVE datafiles from one SAN to another in a remote location?

We're looking at using HP's CA tool to replicate LIVE datafiles across a WAN to another SAN. The replication is block based, so any block that changes on the primary LUN is immediately replicated to the remote LUN at the remote site.

Is anyone doing anything similar to this? Pros? Cons? I have a hard time imagining that this is a good idea but perhaps it is doable.

Thoughts?
