Hi,

    When we do upgrades, we upgrade Oracle on both machines at the same
time. I wouldn't want one ServiceGuard pair different than the other.
However, if your system administrator needs to do some machine maintenance
or something like that, you can switch one over and do maintenance on the
other. But you don't want Oracle to be different from one site to the other.

Subject:        Oracle and MC/Serviceguard

We are implementing MC/Serviceguard here for failover, and I have some
questions about configuration/placement of Oracle files.

Our Oracle environment:

Oracle 8.1.6 (64-bit)
HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit)

We are not running OPS.  The shared disks are on HP AutoRaid.

Do all Oracle files need to be on the shared disks?  I know that the
datafiles for all data/index/rbs tablespaces need to be there, as well as
the control files and online redo logs.  How about datafiles for temp
tablespaces or archive logs?  One other thing:  would it be possible to have
the Oracle binaries *not* be on shared disks, so that for Oracle
upgrades/patches we could failover, upgrade/patch Oracle on the primary
host, then fail back to the primary and upgrade/patch Oracle on the backup
host?

Thanks in advance!

Riley
