Hi all,
Someone can answer my huge question of the day? Well, if the installation of a db is done with Oracle active/passive mode, should we run scripts of creation of the db on all nodes?
Thx in advance for replies.
Sak.

Hi,
Actually, oracle cluster in active/passive mode has already been installed with some databases on my client's network. He has a machine for all his dbs and another one for backup. The OS of his machine is Linux Redhat.
I've to install my db with scripts. I'm a little bit confused; I don't know if I have to run db creation's script on all nodes or just on one of them (the active node for example).
Thx in advance.
Sak.

What you are describing isn't RAC. It sounds more like Data Guard, or perhaps some kind of operating system managed failover environment.
But if you won't describe it in a bit more detail, no-one can advise.

It sounds like your customer is using Redhat's cluster mechanism, which basically works by having the machines in the cluster share common filesystems on shared storage. If a resource like an Oracle database goes down on one node in a Redhat cluster, then another node simply starts Oracle and points it to the same shared data files. In any case - I doubt you need to run the db creation script more than once - unless you are doing some kind of streams or advanced replication configuration. And to be clear - it's not an Oracle cluster that you are running (if it's active/passive) - you might want to clarify exactly what it is that you ARE running and open up threads on appropriate topics in this or other forums. It's not exactly a good idea to just ask new questions for your environment in the same thread, and I don't believe your questions have to do with Oracle RAC. I am not up on current Failsafe configurations - you 'might' be running that - but I believe that's a Windows thing. (Anyone out there correct me if I am wrong  ).
