Hi list,

Does anyone know these products for HA-solutions? Especially, is it possible/certified to snapshot databases without putting the database in backup mode?

The idea behind it is that all datafiles (incl. control and online redolog) are snapshotted in one single atomic action. The snapshot is stored at a local mirror, and asynchronously transferred to the DR-site. Failover can be performed by starting and (auto)recovering the database at the DR site. Because all files were copied in the state they were in one point in time, starting the database at the remote site should be the same as starting a database after a power failure.

I'm not interested in all kinds of other HA solutions, the site I'm currently working for has implemented these solutions, but needs verification. It's hard to get commitment from the vendors that their products are certified for Oracle, although they advised and sold the solution :-(.

Thanks, Carel-Jan
