This section provides two active/standby configuration examples, shown in Figure 1and Figure 2. In these configurations, Server 1 is considered active because it has exclusive access to the database. Server 2 does other processing. If Server 1 fails, Server 2 gains access to the database and LifeKeeper re-establishes the database operations.

Figure 1. Active/Standby Configuration, Example 1

Configuration Notes:

  1. Each server has its own $ORACLE_HOME directory on a non-shared disk. Each server has the same version of the Oracle application.
  1. The $ORACLE_HOME path is the same on both servers.
  1. The database, databaseA, is on a shared disk.

Creating a resource hierarchy on Server 1:
Server: Server1
ORACLE_SID for Database: databaseA
Username for Database: system
Password for Username: **********
ORACLE_SID for Database: /home1/oracle
Database Tag: databaseA-on-server1

Extending the resource hierarchy to Server 2:
Template Server: Server1
Tag to Extend: databaseA-on-server1
Target Server: Server2
Target Priority: 10
Database Tag: databaseA-on-server1

Figure 2. Active/Standby Configuration, Example 2

Configuration Notes:

  1. Both servers use the $ORACLE_HOME directory on a shared disk.
  1. The $ORACLE_HOME path is the same on both servers.
  1. The database, databaseA, is on a shared disk.
  1. Server 2 can not access files and directories on the shared disk while Server 1 is active.
  1. $ORACLE HOME can be on the same shared disk as the database or on separate disks.

Creating a resource hierarchy on Server 1:
Server: Server1
ORACLE_SID for Database: databaseA
Username for Database: system
Password for Username: **********
ORACLE_HOME for Database: /shr1/oracle
Database Tag: databaseA-on-server1

Extending the resource hierarchy to Server 2:
Template Server: Server1
Tag to Extend: databaseA-on-server1
Target Server: Server2
Target Priority: 10
Database Tag: databaseA-on-server1
