Please school me on Recoverpoint and Oracle lun to lun

Hello I am working on setting up a recoverpoint LUN to LUN replication for oracle and I am having a hard time with getting oracle to work correctly.

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Neil-Patrick-Harris-Gun-to-Head.gif" />

-In read/write mode I can get oracle up and working correctly etc

Question: in read only mode should I still be able to sqlplus into oracle?

-Going from read/write to read - having the luns replicate and then going back to read/write so that we can connect our application to oracle causes oracle to break and for us to reinstall oracle from scratch.

Question: what are we missing here, is there some other kind of config or something that needs to happen in recoverpoint before we connect to oracle?

- instance is named the same

- multipaths are named the same

- we brought over the pfile

If anyone has any recommend pdfs or whitepapers etc to read it would be very much appreciated!

Hi quinc,

Are you using image access (Test a Copy) or image access (Test a Copy) in conjunction with a Failover as part of your testing?

Both will allow read/write access to the replica volumes and these are the supported methods for accessing the replica volumes and the database running on them.

Regards,

Rich

I have only heard it called lun to lun replication. During the Oracle upgrade and reinstall I had to ask that it was set to read/write vs read only mode. In read only mode Oracle cannot see the luns/multipath.

Is there anything specific that needs to be done with recoverpoint and Oracle 12c RAC ASM lunt to lun replication?
