Re: 32-bit vs. 64-bit

Mario,

It is mandatory that both the primary, and secondary databases, are using the same OS version (including os patches). Also, both servers must exactly have the same Oracle version installed, including Oracle patchset releases. Ultimately, having different Oracle Server versions, or OS versions is not supported.

Now if you intend to setup primary/standby databases on different OS versions, with the intent to upgrade the OS, this can be done on a temporary basis with this configuration.

Peter Gadah
