What about Windows FailSafe? Is that supported? No, not yet. Oracle will provide Windows Cold Failover Cluster solutions in the next release. • Can I use Veritas Clusters? Yes, VCS is supported on Solaris.
• Can the middle tier be installed in a Cold Failover Cluster? No. The cold failover cluster solutions are applicable only to the Infrastructure. Due to certain limitations, middle tier Cold Failover Clusters are not possible in version 9.0.2. However, middle tiers can be installed on clustered nodes as long as they are installed on local disks and are not expected to participate in failover. See Hardware Clusters whitepaper on OTN for details: /products/ias/hi_av/index.html. • Can Infrastructure be RAC enabled? In Oracle9iAS (9.0.2 and 9.0.3) RAC is only supported on the customer (back-end) database (with some restrictions as outlined here: /software/products/ias/files/ha-certification.html). Infrastructure cannot be installed in a RAC environment. This will be supported in a future release. • Can Infrastructure use DataGuard for high availability? Not in version 9.0.2. Again, this will be supported in a future release.
