Oracle VM - Disaster Recovery Solutions
A dual active/active solution using MAA applications
This solution is predicated on deploying each business
system on Oracle VM guests that are active and
processing transactions across multiple partner sites. MAA
documentation describes this as a Production Site and an
Active Replica Site using a combination of RAC,
Flashback, Active Data Guard and Golden Gate further
protected with RMAN and Oracle Secure Backup.

Oracle VM - Disaster Recovery Solutions
A single active/passive DR solution using Oracle VM
This traditional DR solution is an Oracle VM centric
approach built around synchronous or asynchronous
storage replication of Oracle VM repositories and storage
used by the business systems being hosted on Oracle VM
guests. You will replicate storage repositories as well as
any LUNs and NFS being used by the Oracle VM guests in
the active pool from the primary site to the recovery site.
Basically, you have a single server pool actively running
Oracle VM guests at a primary site and a standby server
pool at a recovery site not running any Oracle VM guests
at all. The standby server pool at the recovery site is just
waiting to take over running replicated copies of Oracle VM
guests from the primary site. The Oracle VM servers that
are part of the standby server pool are sitting idle.

A dual active/passive DR solution using Oracle VM
Both partner sites have an active server pool as well as a
standby server pool with this solution. We are simply
maintaining a second server pool at each of the partner
sites to also act as a standby server pool for an active
server pool at the opposite site. You will replicate storage
repositories as well as any LUNs and NFS being used by
the Oracle VM guests in the active pool from partner SiteA
to SiteB standby server pool. You will do the same for the
active server pool at partner SiteB to SiteA standby server
pool.

This solution is an Oracle VM centric approach built around

VM repositories and storage used by the business systems
being hosted on Oracle VM guests. In this case, each
server pool in the DR scenario is running its own Oracle
VM guests so hardware resources are not sitting idle.
