Hi guys,
I'm writing my diploma thesis about Disaster Recovery. I try to differ types of cluster depending of the layer where they are realized. Here is my point of view:The aim of a cluster is, that there is an automatic failover of resources to the secondary site that no transaction is lost.This means that the OS, the database and the application (e.g. SAP R/3) must be active on the secondary site.

Here are my questions:
On which layer (OS,DBMS,Application) is the failover realized? Can it be realized on different layers?Which application does support this function? Or have all applications to support this function? Do you always need a special cluster software like HACMP?

I would be glad, if you could answer my questions and give me links where I can read something about this.
