Hello:
Requirement: The current EMC storage has some maintenance work (details not
given as to what the exact maintenance was by storage admins). Client want
to reduce downtime an asked for a possible solution. Storage admins are
going to allocate duplicate storage (to replicate current storage).
Solution: Create a standby(active. not required really for this probably)
on the same physical box and create the asm diskgroup on the new storage.
Start recovery process and cutover during maintenance. No changes to
application would be required (tnsnames etc). Once the maintenance is
complete, do the opposite. This is not a solution for DR but to minimize
downtime for a storage maintenance. I was thinking this would be better
than building a standby on a new physical host as it would avoid changes to
application.
The other solution would be to add another diskgroup to the same asm
and let it rebalance and drop the original diskgroup after rebalance but
that may not be required really because client wants to go back to old
storage after maintenance.
Are there any other solutions that I am not thinking?
Any issues with building standby on the same box other than the fact that
it is not a true DR.
Thank you
Kumar
