Re: Oracle Parallel Server Option

[Quoted] So it means that I need to setup two machines with two instance of the same [Quoted] name. And both instances are running at the same time. A shared disk needed [Quoted] to setup to contain the actual tablespace and all client machine need to [Quoted] point to the shared disk. If one machine fails, all client can still access [Quoted] Oracle through the instance of another machine.

Is that correct ???

Thanks in advance !!!
