We have a new solaris 8 server destined to run oracle 9i, storage is
via an EMC Clariion cx700 SAN with 2 single channel HBA's, This is an
active/passive SAN, so one path is always used and the other is not
until a failure is detected. Only one path is ever active and no load
balancing at all.
We have simulated an HBA failure - pulled the plug at the HBA, and
Solaris takes 1m 50s to detect this and ultimately failover to the
other HBA. I am a unix admin and am wondering how this will affect
Oracle? Will Oracle crash or wait patiently for the failover to occur?
