Oracle 11G R2 failover support in SF HA for Oracle 5.0 MP1
- 14 years ago
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 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

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.
