Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 64-bit to 32-bit standby
"Getting Started With Data Guard" document states the following:
<<The hardware and operating system architecture on the primary and
standby locations must be the same. For example, this means a Data
Guard configuration with a primary database on a 32-bit Sun system
must have a standby database that is configured on a 32-bit Sun
system. Similarly, a primary database on a 64-bit HP-UX system must be
configured with a standby database on a 64-bit HP-UX system, and a
primary database on a 32-bit Linux on Intel system must be configured
with a standby database on a 32-bit Linux on Intel system, and so
forth.>>
We have a standby database configuration working with two Xeon
servers. Next week
we upgrade the master to IBM xSeries 226 which has Intel Xeon EM64T, i.e. AMD's
Opteron kind of 64-bitness but slave will remain the same. Apparently we can not
just slap Redhat 64-bit and Oracle for Linux 64 bit and expect standby
database to
accept master's archivelogs. So Oracle need to be 32-bit.
My question is, can master be Xeon EM64T, Redhat 64-bit, Oracle 32-bit and standby: Xeon, Redhat 32-bit, Oracle 32 bit? Have someone tried it? What were the results?
Best regards,
Nicolai
