Re: VCS and Dataguard

From what you described it's not very clear where your problem is. Dataguard should not have anything to do with VCS unless I there is something new in 10g. I'm working with 9i standby's with VCS but I believe that the concept is relevant to 10g as well.

What do you mean by "dataguard tries to find the listener on the actual hostname". Usually, you should give a connection descriptor for a listener and this one should point to the listener where your primary database is registered. So it has nothing to do with VCS. Could you provide more details on what errors you get, where and when?
