Greetings,
We have IBM RS6000 AIX 4.3.3 and 2 node HACMP/ES cluster running oracle
8.1.7 OPS.
I have setup the oracle database on raw devices, every thing is fine. I
wanted to setup a shared file system for archived redo logs , where
oracle instance from both the nodes can archive the redo logs to one
shared file system.
This (shared FS) facilitates easier backups and recovery in case of
oracle database (instance) crash.
But we were informed by IBM Tech support that it is not possible to
setup a shared file system where we can read, write simultaneously from
both the nodes. Does HANFS need separate license or is it a different
product.
I was looking at the HACMP documentation, there they talk about HANFS
again which is limited to 2 nodes, of course it works for us.
But I want to know the pros and cons of going for such a setup. Oracle
817 offers writing a copy of the archived logs to remote servers.
I want to weigh both the features.
I appreciate your suggestions and comments.
Regards & Thanks
BN
