If you are planning to use space-optimized snapshots or third-mirror break-off snapshots in a Volume Replicator (VVR) setup where the Oracle database on the primary host is replicated on the secondary host, the following considerations for SFDB tools apply.

• An Oracle single instance database is running on the Storage Foundation stack with all volumes in one disk group.

• The data and the archive log volumes are replicated on a secondary host.

• All the application volumes are within a single replicated volume group (RVG).

• For snapshots or clones on the VVR secondary site, instant and online snapshot modes are supported. Instant mode snapshots do not support Oracle RAC databases. Hence, the primary VVR site must use an Oracle single instance configuration only, if you plan to use instant mode snapshots.

• Replication to multiple secondary hosts is supported.
