Dear fellow oracle-l'ers, Does anyone here have practical experience in running DRBD with Oracle Server? Is it possible to create anything near to Data Guard functionality with it? How would you implement a transparent application failover? What about split-brain situations?
I don't know about DRDB, but I have implemented Oracle Clusterware to provide high availability (active/passive) for Oracle (10.2) databases. There's a good document along with scripts here:
