how far replication can help me out
hi Jeff Hunter and sam,
thanx for quick reply.......am on oracle 8i..... for more redundency we have two servers at each place....and we r planning to have two storages at each place and and two servers for each storage for more redundency .
There is problem with parallel server that to maintain network traffic and to maintain bandwidth..heavy traffic is expected like 2 million users r there and our RAS(remote Acces Servers and give access to 30 ,000 users at a time...basically it's like authenticating database (for userid and pwd).
though they contain same data they r two DB's and as i mentioned people at restective places will be accessing respective servers and in case of failure...all 'll be accessing one DB(we did this radius server with virual ip resolution).
so i guess we cannot afford to maintain badwidth and network traffic in can of parallel server.
Regarding replication....in case of one of failure of one other will be takking all the requests and the failed one will be up and allowed to do server only when it has the same data as that of original ..
* will replication takes care this situation in fail over situation?
* will that be assured ZERO downtime in this mean while
proccess??
If so how to proceed????.......ne one help me out soon..a bit urgent ...
Awaiting
