Server Requirements

To implement Arcserve RHA, refer to the appropriate list of requirements, depending on the server type you selected. These components are licensed separately. If you do not have the license required to access support for a specific server type, contact Technical Support.

(In the Active Directory environment) Both Master and Replica servers should reside in the same Active Directory forest and be members of the same domain or trusted domains.

For Oracle Server configuration:

Two servers running supported Windows Server with the same level of service packs and hot fixes installed.
Note: For a complete list of supported operating systems and applications, see the Arcserve RHA Release Notes.
Install the same Oracle version on both servers, including service packs and hot fixes.
The Oracle SID on the Master must match the Replica.
Ensure the path to the ORACLE_HOME directory and the path to the database files are identical on both Master and Replica.
Statically assign all IP addresses (DHCP-assigned IPs are not supported on either server).
The protected server cannot be a domain controller or DNS server.
To minimize network traffic, Oracle temporary tablespace names and path are excluded from replication. Make sure the Oracle database on the Replica server is configured with the same temporary tablespace names and path used on the Master server.
For a 64-bit Windows server, you must have a 64-bit Oracle Database Instant client. For more information about the Oracle Database Instant client, visit the Oracle website.

Notes:

Arcserve HA for Oracle does not support Microsoft cluster servers
