RE: backup Oracle on Sun Cluster 2.2 ???

The whole point of clustering is that if your database crashes it is to automatically fail over to the other side, therefore making it impossible to shutdown your database.

Something I just thought of though is that I some times edit my startup/shutdown scripts so that
maintenance is performed on failover. You could try the same I would guess in Sun.

For a cold backup, simply shut down all Oracle instances accessing the database to be backed up. There is no need to shut down any Sun or Veritos cluster services.
