Re: A high-availability question (standby , replication or ....)

Ahh.... but it does not have to sit there just waiting !!!

We had a DEC TruCluster, with the ASE failover software (available software everywhere). This was NOT OPS We still used our failover box but for less powerful and less critical app. We decided that during failover, we could tolerate slightly less than optimum performance and had BOTH systems set-up to failover but used different init.ora files so they used different amounts of resources on failover.

You could easily extend this idea to have your "sandbox" on that big server just sitting there and not use much disk space allocated to it. In the event of failover, simply add shutting down the "sandbox" instance.
