Re: Data Mirroring on two data centers -- How to use ASM ?

Excellent inputs. Thanks to all of you !!

ASM might not be a best option for me by considering a two node cluster w/ very large amounts of data getting mirrored across two storage arrays. So my other option would be GPFS. Are there any /similar//other concerns with GPFS in the same architecture ?

Salem, if you have a descent size database than it's quite dangerous
option. I mentioned reference to my blog in previous post - if you
read it you will understand why. Even short interruption in
connectivity to remote site might cause ASM to start rebalancing and
recovery from this is a non-trivial task.

Replication via Oracle Data Guard or third party tools is a much
better option. Just storing backups remotely is a much more reliable
alternative than distance storage box with ASM.

1- you can use ASM to mirror your data on the remote site, mainly by using a
'failover' disk group. It's very easy to setup.
