About preparing for global clustering

You can set up SF Oracle RAC for ultimate data protection with global clustering and replication features. VCS provides an option to configure global clusters for wide-area failover and disaster recovery, and Veritas Volume Replicator provides the volume replication capability.

If you are currently administering an Oracle database in a cluster running SF Oracle RAC, you can configure a global clustering environment with a new cluster on a secondary site. SF 5.0 for Oracle RAC supports up to four nodes each on two clusters. You will need to set up a secondary site and modify the existing cluster configuration to support replication.

You do not need to create a database for the secondary site, since it will be replicated from the primary site.
