Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Linux virtual IP/hostname for Oracle
Greetings,
I have two SuSE 7.2 Pro servers, one acting as a primary, the other a
standby for hosting an Oracle database. There is nothing specific per
se in terms of apps/Linux setup that makes one the primary and the
other the standby. They are just two machines sitting there each with
their own IP and the database will be running on one of them at any
given time.
I'm trying to find out how to setup a virtual IP/hostname for these
machines, so that I can make accessing the database transparent as to
what server it's running on. I've used Vertias' clustering software
on Solaris previously, and I'm trying to replicate it on Linux..
without the automated failover of course.
How can I do this? I've done some research and sorta-know about LVS,
but I'm an Oracle DBA, not a Linux techie, so I'm looking for the
easiest solution without having to get really fancy or require kernel
rebuilds etc.
What's the easiest solution?
Thanks!
Grant
