Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Shifting of Servers - Practical Problems
I've worked in a similar environment with one difference... The SA's are
located where the servers are. This only introduces minimal problems, like
if the DBA needs a tape he has to call the SA and ask them to do it. In
terms of power cycling machines my experience has shown that not many SA's
would allow DBA's to do this anyway in large environments - the DBA doesn't
have ownership of the machine, it is assumed the SA does.
Installing software was often done my remote mounting a CD drive or by ftp - provided the network connection is reasonable this isn't a big issue - how often do you install software from CD? In our instance the SA's were looking after hundreds of servers at a remote secure site so they had a lot of the common software anyway.
So, whilst I can imagine (and have seen) a DBA working remotely I cannot imagine how an SA could perform their tasks adequately. If the machines are going to a datacentre then perhaps there will be a person nominated to be the SA's eye's and finger's when required.
Regards,
Mark.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Hi All
Our Mgmt.Team is insisting that the Unix Servers with
databases on them
being shifted to a different location (200+ miles
away) retaining the servers
on the network ,while the team members are not being
moved.
Some practical problems that come to my mind are: If
the Machine
needs to be Physically switched off and switched on OR
tape
needs to mounted for bkp/restore then the SA has to
travel 200+
miles; Another issue is , if there is power outage or
maintenance
requirement and the server goes down or needs to be
shutdown cleanly, turned off then too the SA has to
travel.
>From the DBA point of view (for install)
, the CD's either have to be placed in the drive or
the contents
ftp'd and then dbca/dbassist need to be invoked. Not
sure how the
response will be in this case over the network.
The developers are connecting using Terminal emulation
software installed
in their PCs. Any other practical issues?.
TIA
