Hello,

I am currently building a 10.2 RAC cluster on AIX (OS: 5.3 HACMP:5.2). We'll be using disk mirroring (SRDF) for the DR component of this system - at the moment I'm looking at mirroring all database files + the Oracle binaries.

I am having difficulty finding any information as to how I configure the CRS/HACMP so that I can achieve my aims. My main issue is that it appears that the CRS will only use the physical hostname for its public node name during installation and this is a problem since the hostnames of the DR cluster are different (and cannot be changed in the event of a DR fail-over).

Is anyone out there running a similar setup (irrespective of platform) and if so, how did you work around the problem ?

The only thing I can think of is to not mirror the Oracle binaries and the OCR files - I haven't tested this yet and so I'm not sure if it'll work or how seemless the failover would be. I would like to use the HACMP cluster service name as the public node name but Oracle don't think that this is possible.

I've raised an SR with Oracle to see what they can suggest but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
