RE: Q:using Oracle clusterware in 10g2

Thanks . I will check that.

 

Btw , you gave also an idea to use ASM 11g with 10.2 database  . it should be 
support according to oracle document :

 

Oracle® Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) for 
Microsoft Windows

“…You can install earlier or later versions of Automatic Storage Manager (ASM). 
Both forward and backward compatibility is available with different versions of 
ASM. However, if you mix software versions, then ASM functionality reverts to 
the earliest software installation that it supports. For example, if you 
install Oracle Clusterware 11g with ASM, and you use it to support an existing 
Oracle Database release 10.2.0.3 installation, then ASM functionality is 
equivalent to that available only in the Oracle Database 10.2 release version.

Amihay,

I have built Oracle Clusterware clusters to support custom applications. It 
works quite well. For our case, we used OCFS2 (our platform was Linux) to 
support the common filesystem/storage requirement. For databases, you could 
also have used ASM. 

I would suggest using Oracle Clusterware 11g, even if you're not using Oracle 
Database 11g. In our case, we had some Oracle single-instance databases running 
at 10g R2 and some other custom applications as well. In order to avoid an 
upgrade later and benefit from all the latest fixes and enhancements, we used 
Oracle Clusterware 11g. Results were very positive. 

You should review the whitepaper on managing third-party applications with 
Oracle Clusterware. It is at 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clustering/pdf/twp_oracleclusterware3rdparty%5B1%5D.pdf

I'd also recommend the recently-updated whitepaper on protecting 
single-instance Oracle Databases with Clusterware at 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/pdf/SI_DB_Failover_11g.pdf

One last note--you don't have to wait for anything; 11g is available right now 
for all the most popular platforms.

Good luck!
Dan

We are considering to use oracle cluster ware in 10g (10.2.0.2/10.2.0.3) for 
custom applications. 

 

I wander if anyone has experience with that (bad or good)? 

 

I’ve heard from oracle consult that is better to wait to 11g (…what a surprise) 
to use this feature.
