Hi managers,
I was wondering if any of you can answer a couple of questions I have regarding Oracle compatibility
and ADVFS
1. Has anyone got experience of running Oracle V7.323 on a UNIX V4 system.
We are currently running it on V3.2 D UNIX with a view to upgrading to UNIX V4 shortly and would
be interested to find out if there are any known problems or 'gotchas' in doing this.
We would also be interested to know if anyone is using Oracle V7.33 on UNIX V4 with a view to
finding out any problems or 'gotchas' with it.
2. Has anyone got experience with using Oracle and ADVFS. We are about to implement ADVFS
with a view to utilize the cloning facility for backup purposes.
In short what we plan to do is minimize downtime by shutting down the database - doing a clone
start the database backup - let the users back on - roll the clone of to tape as the database backup. Is there any issues with this i.e.. can we restore the clone and be sure of a clean
error free recovery. We plan to use vdump initially with a possible view of using NSR in the future.
Thanks in Advance
