We've used EMC RecoverPoint to replicate Oracle LUNs between sites for
purposes of disaster recovery and cloning, both ASM and non-ASM storage,
with a good deal of success. Relatively straightforward to configure
assuming a good knowledge of Oracle and EMC storage. You basically define
one or more consistency groups in the RP, define source and target LUN
mappings, tweak site-specific settings that deal with throughput, what types
of hosts access the storage, etc.
If you want Active-Active type of access, like 11g Active Data guard, you
won't get this - you'll need to build snapshots on the replica LUNs (taken
on an image-access copy), but these can be done pretty quickly and can all
be scripted.
So it depends on what you really want to accomplish, but our experience has
been good.

Subject: EMC storage replication
Hi all,
at the place where I work, management would like to implement EMC
Replication (as we have EMC SAN's) for our databases between two Data
Centers instead of DataGuard for certain DB-systems.
According to EMC sales, the process is certified by Oracle although I didn't
find any reference on Metalink (could be also, I didn't search it well).
If someone (out there ;-) ) is already using it, I would appreciate if you
could tell me your experiences and possible pitfalls regarding
implementation.
Best Regards,
Goran
