I assume you ask about an Oracle RAC database. In that case, the mode is "kind-of" ACTIVE/ACTIVE: What you get is a single database mounted by as many instances as cluster nodes you have configured. So every time your application establishes a db connection, it may be served by either cluster node.
The data files can be in a clustered file system (like OCFS), in raw partitions or even in NFS mounts. There are a few guidelines to develop apps meant to run in a clustered database: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/help/database/oracle-docs/rac.920/a96598/design. htm Ivan. -----Original Message----- From: Viral_Thakkar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 7:35 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: [OT] Clustering Hi All, I am developing a J2EE application using Oracle 9iAS. I am looking for clustering information. I am looking for info on database side. * Are Database servers clustered in an ACTIVE/ACTIVE or ACTIVE/PASIVE mode? * Is the Oracle database supposed to reside on a file system or on a RAW partition? TIA. Regards, Viral --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
