Hi,
Apologies for the length of this mail. I've seen the success stories with Oracle usage on Linux HA configured machines, but I was wondering if what has been requested of me was 'normal' for Linux HA usage and if anyone had any gotchas that they could share. At present we have an active - passive cluster (Red Hat EL 4 with Oracle 10.2.0.3). IIUC, the filesystems containing the Oracle binaries and the Oracle database datafiles (control, redo, temp, *.ora etc) get moved if the active node goes down. What is being asked of me is this. Install another set of Oracle binaries (same version) reason being that these binaries may need to be patched - this isn't an issue for me. The binaries need to be installed not by 'oracle' - the owner of the already installed binaries, but by another user, for example 'oracleX' - this is for the filesystem move that operates in terms or UNIX userid and Oracle_home. This bothers me. It also bothers me that we are going to change from an active - passive cluster to active - active. I have not and probably will not be able to test this new setup. The info that I have so far : its not supported by Oracle Cheers, Matt _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
