Jin You have received several good replies. One question I have for you is whether you simply want to do this once (like to create a test database), or continuously (to create a standby database)?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 5:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Greetings, I have such a plan but not sure if it is feasible. Please help! I install oracle server on two different machine (say A and B). In general, we run on one instance on server A. If we met any problem on server A, we copy all data files, control files and redo files plus spfile<SID>.ora to server B. Can server B startup that instance? Is there any restriction on this plan? or it is totally impossible? Would you please advise why? Thanks alot! Jin btw, they both are Solaris. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: CHEN,JIN INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
