MSA1500 Cluster and Oracle 10g

[Staale 2]

Is the following solution possible:

2. HP DL385 with HBA FCA2214
2. 8 Port Fiber channel switches.
2. MSA 1500 with dual controller.

System running SLES9/10 or RHEL 4 and Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition.

Mission is to provide Active/Active cluster and Mirroerd disk drives across sans. One server and One SAN in
each building linked together through SAN fiber and ethernet. The servers will be active/active cluster.

Thanks,
Staale

I believe it is possible as Oracle can do a host-based remote replication - RAC on Extended Distance Clusters.

I believe it is hardware agnostic but you need Oracle expert to check whether it is a feasible solution in your case.

One thing which you should take into account is the latency always impacting the overall performance of your solution ('primary' node waits for a write confirmation from 'secondary' node)
