RE: clustering

Title: Message

Active/active = RAC   Active/Passive = Traditional Sun and  Veritas clustering   Basically, in RAC both nodes are up servicing queries and if a node fails, the other one takes care of recovering the other one's transactions.    In traditional active-passive clustering, one node sits there twiddling its thumbs until the first one fails, at which point it springs into action and takes over for the failed node.    Does that help?   Matt -- Matthew Zito GridApp Systems Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 646-220-3551 Phone: 212-358-8211 x 359 http://www.gridapp.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of AK Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 12:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: clustering Hi Guys , I am new to this clustering concept.
