Check the Sun web site. Sun has clustering. I do not know the name
of the product off the top of my head since I use HP MC/ServiceGuard.

I think your right. But does anyone know what is use on Solaris?
Thanks,
Jim

What you are describing sounds like Oracle FailSafe. It is free from
Oracle, does not require Oracle Enterprise version (Standard/workgroup can
be used), only runs on NT, and requires MicroSoft Cluster Services (MSCS)
which is included in NT4.0 EE or W2K Advanced Server.
As for Sun Solaris, I know nothing so will be of no help to you there.

Please respond

Hi,
I was reading in the book "Oracle 24/7 Tips and Techniques" about Standby
Instances.
Note, this is not a standby database.
>From the book it seams to work in the following way...
There is only one database.
The database files exist on a shared disk pack. One machine is the primary
instance, and if this instance dies, a new instance is started on the
second
machine using the datafiles on the shared disk.
The problem is that I can't find anything in the Oracle docs about this, or
on Meta Link.
I also want to know if this method of HA requires a clustered environment
(I
think it does, but just want to be sure)?
Also, does it come with an Enterprise Edition license?
Or is it something which each hardware vendor implements in their own way,
at extra cost?
We have a requirement for a fail over method on Sun Solaris.
We do not want to loose any committed data (i.e. a standby database could
loose some), and want the fail over to be as automatic as possible.
We don't want the expense of Parallel Server (Anyone know how expensive it
is these days?).
The disk pack is RAID, and we may also have a standby database off site.
Has anyone any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jim
