Re: Oracle Net services

1- (HOST=)s­ales1-server is the name of the first server hosting a listener. (HOST=)sales2-server is the name of the second server hosting a listener (pointing to the same service). 2- "nodes" mean "server" in this context. They are called s­ales1-server and s­ales2-server in this example. 3- It means that 2 listeners, on 2 different servers ("nodes"), point to the same "service" (sales.us.acme.co­m).

The only thing I'm missing is that, since the listener has to reside on the database server, we need the database to reside on both servers. I suspect that you therefore need some kind of Data Guard setup between these 2 nodes. Or maybe it's 2 separate databases simply having the same service name, and you can use whatever method if you want them both to be in sync.
