No, you should not bother your sysadmin except if you think that he needs
additional exercise to keep fit. 

Data block format is the same on both platforms as is the format of redo log
files. Standby will be applying 

archived redo logs from the original database to a copy of the original
database. As long as it is capable of

doing so, everything will be kosher and archived redo logs  will cause no
problem when applied to the standby.

In addition to that, you should use 9.2.0.7 instead of 9.2.0.1 as it has
whole bunch of bugs fixed.

Subject: Linux RedHat AS2.1 and Linux RedHat ES4.0 for the Standby

 

Hi,

 

Our Oracle 9.2.0.1 <http://9.2.0.1>  production database is running on a
RedHat AS2.1

We would like to have a Standby database, but the sysadmin already installed
the server with Linux ES4.0.

 

Usually, the platform has to be the same.  Should I ask the sysadmin to
reinstalled the server ?

 

Thanks

Luc
