Re: Multiple DATABASES on the same RAC cluster

The problem comes with (not necessarily
sensible) demands about failover time.

With failsafe, the cluster has to decide that the service is definitely dead (and it might not be !). Then start an Oracle instance, including the crash recovery,
before allowing users in.

The time difference probably isn't terribly significant to most people (odd couple of minute, perhaps) but it's too much for
others.
