This sounds like a case for Golden Gate as it can perform cross-endian replication: Active Data Guard and Oracle GoldenGate It does require licensing but it may be a way to replicate your production database without moving it to Linux.

It's possible that we will lose funding for the DR site at some point in the next few years, so management is looking into Amazon Web Services - Cloud Computing Services to host our DR servers. From what I understand, AWS Cloud is Linux only. Since Oracle doesn't yet support HP-UX primary/Linux standby, I think that our only option is to move our production database to Linux. Is that true, or can anyone think of some other option? Or, is it possible that Oracle might support HP-UX primary/Linux standby in the near future? Or, is HP-UX primary/Linux standby not likely possible any time soon because HP-UX is big-endian and x86-64 is little-endian? - Maureen -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
