RE: database disaster recovery

2001-09-17 Thread Mark Leith

I should that there were plenty lost, firstly bearing in mind that Sun
Microsystems actually held two floors in one of the towers I should think
there would have been at least a couple if not a whole bunch of them right
there, not even considering the rest of the floors/companies.

I'm curious. With all that's going on in New York, were any
Oracle databases lost? Has anyone had to activate a disaster
recovery plan and bring up their database at a new location?
If so, how did that go? It would be interesting, and
possibly instructive, to hear some real-life stories about
what went wrong, what went well, etc.

I agree - but it would possibly be good etiquette to
wait some weeks before we asked such questions (and
this is not to criticise in any way your post)

Just my 2c worth.

Well, all our servers were fine as of the time our building was evacuated on
Tuesday but I got paged on Wednesday that our 100 Wall St. office had lost
power and was running on generator.  Fortunately the only machines I had
there were our standby server (so we're running without a standby at the
moment), our development server (I ftp'ed the last export file over to a NJ
server and will probably be importing the development schemas to our QA box
as an interim measure) and a clone of our production server that we were
using for upgrade testing.  Somehow I don't think our planned upgrade will
happen this weekend...

Some of my colleagues had production servers in NY and, with some minor
snafus, have brought up the standby servers in NJ and switched everyone
over.

I am having fond recollections of arguing about 3 years ago that we had to
have our standby server in a different datacenter than our production
server. When I first joined this group they were both in NY.

Jonathan,

Don't know -- the NYOUG is trying to check on members, but we've been 
looking more towards making sure everyone is alive (so far, I have not heard 
that we lost members) and finding ways to help them than towards disaster 
recovery plans.

Give NY a few weeks and we'll find out right now, it's still people not 
process we're concerned with.

I second that!  Market open on Monday might be somewhat revealing...

(setq minor-rant-mode ON)
I worked as a DBA in the financial/brokerage sector for years and was frequently
appalled at what were often loudly touted as high availability and disaster
recovery plans - in that sector and others.
