Oracle Fail Safe

Oracle Fail Safe is a core feature included with every Oracle 11g, Oracle 10g and Oracle9i license for Windows 2000, and Windows 2003. It is a high availability software, integrated with Microsoft Cluster Server, that provides a fast, easy, and accurate way to configure and verify Windows clusters and to automatically fail over Oracle databases and applications.

In the event of a system failure, Oracle Fail Safe works with Microsoft Cluster Server to restart Oracle databases and applications on a surviving cluster node. With Oracle Fail Safe, you can monitor and fail over:

  • Oracle databases (Standard and Enterprise Editions),
  • Selected Oracle Application Server components,
  • Oracle Management Agent,
  • And other Oracle applications.

Oracle Fail Safe also enables flexible fail back when nodes are returned to service; planned failover for rolling cluster upgrades and workload balancing; and scripting of high availability tasks through its command line interface.
