Oracle Disaster Recovery on IBM Power Virtual Server

Insights and experiences: Implementing the Oracle Data Guard on Power Virtual Server LPARs hosted in different data centers.

Overview

The objective of this white paper is to share the experience of implementing an Oracle Data Guard solution across two IBM® Power® Virtual Server data centers. This paper will assist customers seeking sizing guidance and best practices for the Oracle Data Guard Solution on IBM Power. The test team configured two Power Virtual Server logical partitions (LPARs) in two regions, namely Montreal and Toronto, which are approximately 540 km apart. The Oracle Data Guard solution was implemented across these LPARs. The test team selected an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) workload and performed multiple runs, modifying the transaction mix to evaluate various read/write ratios.
