Andrew,
Thanks for the feedback! I’m very confident in our network/storage teams.
Again, we’re heavy users of SRDF/Recoverpoint already (we use it over Data
Guard) and our storage team is great with supporting us on this.
Thanks!
Jeremy

We have had very good experience with that combination. My company, House of
Brick Technologies, has done quite a bit with that and had very good
experiences. That being said, there are some caveats. You absolutely must
have a competent network and storage team that understands what is going on,
and can identify immediately where there are failures. If you are not 100%
confident, you will want to use something like data guard for your oracle
databases, so that you have the ability to check the status and open it read
only yourself. I did once see a situation where the network, security, and
storage teams were not communicating properly, and the security team kept on
blocking the required ports on the DR site, and the network and storage teams
did not notice. That was kind of a disaster. But I do emphasize, when the
network and storage teams are competent, srdf is just fine.

Hello Gurus,
I’m looking into ASM as a new standard for my company. Right now we’re just
using standard datafiles on a filesystem. We’re heavy users of EMC technologies
like SRDF and Recoverpoint for DR replication. All the material I’ve read shows
that ASM and SRDF/Recoverpoint work together pretty well, but those are
white-papers where everything is typically all peaches and cream.
Any real-world experience out there? Does anyone have any issues using these
technologies together? Do you find that they work together just fine?
AIX 6.7 – 7.2
Oracle 10g – 12c
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeremy
