That's very easy. You have to use some cluster software anyway and
prepare scripts for it.
It doesn't matter if you're opening standby database or starting up
your replicated database.
These scripts simply have to switch replication direction, open a
database (with automatic
Oracle crash recovery), move IP address and you're up and running in
minutes. The logfiles
are also stored on replicated volume groups so there is no reason to
shipped them anywhere,
there are where there should be already. In fact, the setup is simpler
than with Data Guard.
