Hey John, what is this, 20 questions?

Tell us what os the systems are running and we can give you the right command back to tell you if the os is running as a cluster. HPUX the command is cmviewcl.

For #2, if it's RAC the oracle processes will have slightly different names with the oracle instance being different. Sounds like this is a standby database, not activated. Received on Tue Jan 11 2005 - 08:34:03 CST
