Oracle 11G R2 failover support in SF HA for Oracle 5.0 MP1
I have Storage Foundation for Oracle HA 5.0 with MP1 with some point patches (details are shown below). Can this configuration support Oracle 11G R2 databases ? If this does not support, what is the MP level to which I need to upgrade ?
VxVM - Veritas-5.0_MP1_RP4.4:2007-12-30
VxVM - VERITAS-FS-5.0.1.2-2007-08-30-5.0MP1RP2=125762-02
VCS - Veritas-5.0MP1+e1084049-11/24/07-08:31:01
ODM - VERITAS-ODM-5.0.1.1-2007-08-08-RP1a=125850-01
Thanks,
Karthik
Oracle 11g does not appear to be supported in 5.0MP1.
5.0MP3 appears to support Oracle 11g, however there is no mention of release (ie: it probably does not support 11g R2):
Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0MP3 (Solaris) Release Notes -> Changes in Storage Foundation -> Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle (pp18-19)
https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sf/5.0MP3/solaris/pdf/sf_notes.pdf
--------------------
Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle includes the following change in 5.0 MP3.
Support for new database
Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle provides support for the Oracle™ 11g database in the 5.0 MP3 release.
The following features of Veritas Storage Foundation for Databases are supported in the Oracle 11g environment:
• Storage Checkpoints
• Storage mapping
• Database cloning (clonedb)
• Database Flashsnap
• Tiered storage for databases (DBDST)
• Quick I/O
• Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager (ODM)
For 11g on Solaris:
If you are using ODM and and plan to use the init_ora "memory_target", you must apply the patch for Oracle bug 664726.
--------------------SF 5.1 does appear to have support for Oracle 11g R2 on Solaris 10 according to the following link:
