Hi Paul,
Is the connection between your sites pushed to the limits? You can use ssh,
with compression and port forwarding, to get the redo info compressed. It's
described in
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=225633.1&blackframe=0
(note 225633.1). Depends on the DG-method used. SSH/port forwarding won't
bring you much improvement using LGWR SYNC, but can do so significantly in
ARCH ASYNC mode.
I'm sorry , I don't know the Double-Take stuff you described. What I would
take into consideration is how to verify and monitor that the standby
system actually gets synchronised, and what time instatiation takes. Is
switchover possible? Otherwise a failover for switchover puposes might take
a lot of time for re-instantiation, resulting in longer vulnerable periods
with only one database available.
Regards, Carel-Jan
