Why would I want to buy another product when this "should" work, not to mention
provide tighter integration from an Oracle standpoint? If VVR is anything
like Storage Replicator on the W2K side, it's nothing to write home about.
If VVR can switch my database over from a primary to remote site with a
click of a button and have the ability to easily switch back to the original
site, let me know.

VVR comes with Volume Manager (extra license required).

If you want to switch between different sites, you might need Global Cluster
Manager (GCM)


There is another possibility.

THere is a VCS agent to change the hostname. If this is your problem, that
might solve it. Speak to your sale rep. or to the Sales Engineer (SE)
