Hi All, We are in the process of looking at migrating some older legacy RAC systems to a new 12C GI on Solaris T4. One of the challenges we are facing is getting any level of application change including connect strings. A proposal we are looking at is to alias the old vips to point to the new SCAN. The thinking is all should work ok behind the scenes without much change. Haven't really got my head across what happens with failover and load balancing or even if its doable. It'll look somethign like this oldserver1-vip oldserver2-vip | | | | | | 12C-RAC-SCAN Any thoughts? -- Stojan www.stojanveselinovski.com/blog www.stojanveselinovski.com
