Thanks for the reply, Pete.

We recommended EMC SRDF to keep the production and DR in sync, but the
budget cannot provide for it. Now, with a standby DR, what I am scared of
is, it would take me say 15 minutes tops, to activate the standby in case
of a production  site failure. But then, making the production back to real
production, and DR back to standby, will take much more testing and time.

If I understand you correctly and you want to use DataGuard for site
failover and RAC for machine failover, that should work without any
problems.  It is indeed what I would recommend for a full HA configuration,
since RAC only answers the machine failover part, not site failover.

Folks,

A project team here is flirting with the idea of having standby databases
for the two production RAC nodes. The two standy nodes will be at a DR
site.
Any gotchas with this configuration?

Raj
