Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Safe Database Environment
Hi all,
Can any of you suggest the configuration for a safe, fault proof, and
minimum downtime Database environment? (In terms of how many servers, RAID
or disk ARRAY or any combination. A minimum configuration is what I am
looking for).
Right now we have one main server (Compaq proliant) and one standby
database. But since the log switch takes place after about 10-15 minutes in
the peak time and 30-40 minutes in not so peak time, plus our environment is
24x7, so if anything goes wrong with the production DB, it will take
sometime to get back live and then some further time to catch up or redoing
those entries which were lost because of no log witch. Hence even a downtime
of few minutes brings the work to a halt plus any loss of data in between
the archiving time is costly too.
So I want to suggest to our management a solution, which is as close to
being fool-proof, if one server is down the other system can take its place
in matters of minutes or seconds, and better if it is transparent to the
user, or close.
Thanks & regards,
Hussain
