Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: DB mirroring
If storage is seperate [and it should be for D.R], 9iRAC isn't an option. 9iRAC is only for Shared-Storage [although you could mirror 9iRAC across two sites].
DataGuard is the easiest option. DataGuard will propagate all your DDLs. You might have issues if using a Logical Standby which actually "mines" SQLs from the RedoLog [ArchiveLog] stream.
HW vendors also have other options
-- e.g the old Digital/Compaq DRM offers mirroring of storage across
two sites. You need to have a node connected to the mirrored storage
and "break the link" between the two and startup the DB Instance on the
D.R site [the node can also be configured to come up with the same
hostname/ipaddress as the primary node !]
