This bothers me.
This is not a problem, apart from having to maintain two copies of oracle. MB : I was thinking more in terms of RMAN and possible Grid Control integration problems. I'm not too bothered that there will be more than one set of binaries, it was the different users that concerned me. > It also bothers me that we are going to change from an active - passive > cluster to active - active. Two instances running at the same time? That's also fine. MB : OK good to hear. I've never done RAC or clusters until now - learning new stuff everyday! I've been used to the large machines - lots of instances approach. > The info that I have so far : its not supported by Oracle Perhaps you'll get better support in some oracle forum. The cluster has no problem with active/active configurations. Whether the resource itself (in this case oracle) may work with that is another question. MB : Thanks again for your replies.
