Title: Recommendation for "cheap" HA solution

Hi!

We are looking into establishing some sort of high availability solution here. We are running 9.2.0 on Sun Fire 280 (2 processors).

Since we are on a tight budget, we are looking into various solutions for HA.

One option would be to use Sun Cluster Server or Veritas Cluster Server. If one box fails, the db just fails over to the other node. The problem is that we don't have a cluster guy here...

The other Option would be to use RAC, but this is the most expensive solution, I guess...

Does anybody use any other HA solution that is affordable? Failover time should be less than 15 minutes, although "frequent" outages (i.e. once a month or so) are tolerable.

Don't blame me for these requirements; it was not my idea...

This is 9.2.0 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
