You can create a global cluster environment with Storage Foundation and volume replication capability. VCS provides the Global Cluster Option (GCO) 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 Storage Foundation, you can configure a global clustering environment with a new cluster on a secondary site. Storage Foundation 5.0 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.
Preparing for global clustering requires:
Creating a cluster on a secondary site with hardware set up.
Installing Storage Foundation.
Configuring VCS service groups.
You do not need to create a database for the secondary site, since it will be replicated from the primary site.
