This section describes new features provided in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition 3.3 5/11 (Geographic Edition) software.
Support for Oracle Data Guard replication is expanded to include highly available (HA) Oracle database deployments. The minimum Oracle version for this support is 10.2.0.4.3.
This new feature also enables physical standby databases to be integrated into a Geographic Edition deployment. Possible configurations include using HA for Oracle at both the primary and standby sites, or using a mix of HA for Oracle and Oracle RAC.
As of the time of publication, logical-standby configurations have not been tested and are not supported.
For more information, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Data Replication Guide for Oracle Data Guard.
A three-site or three-data-center (3DC) deployment can now be created by combining Geographic Edition software and an application-based technology, such as Oracle Data Guard with HA for Oracle, with a campus cluster that uses storage-based replication, such as EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility, Hitachi TrueCopy, or Hitachi Universal Replicator.
For more information, see Three-Data-Center (3DC) Topologies in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Overview.
Support is added for ZFS storage pools on replicated storage that is managed by Geographic Edition software. The following data-replication software is supported for this feature:
EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility
Hitachi Universal Replicator
