I will look at the DB mirroring along with our DBA's and will see what option I can select for best availability and Business continuity Thank you very much for your reply, I hope I can use EMC Storage, my organization stick to hp and the existing SAN storage is hp that’s why i don’t have much flexibility in Storage side.

To do this with SQL, you will need to look at SQL DB Mirroring which acts very similarly to Exchange CCR. DB Mirroring is in SQL 2005 and higher and supports a 3rd server as a witness to enabled automatic failover. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917680.aspx If you are using EMC Clariion storage, EMC offers Cluster enablers for MirrorView and RecoverPoint that can make any MSCS compatible application work across two storage arrays with synchronous mirroring. In a Mirrorview/CE or RecoverPoint/CE environment, the servers look like a standard failover cluster (SCR or MSCS), the arrays mirror the data and MSCS automatically promotes and demotes the storage mirrors. This can also be used across a WAN for site to site failover. Exchange CCR and Oracle PSB/LSB will work great across two storage systems as described above.

My first worries was the Exchange, and SQL MSCS clustered using under the MSA2000fc and the idea already there for exchange as long as CCR option is available, provided SCR has to be moved to CCR first. Can I do the same for the SQL MSCS clustered? My plan to have seperate ESX servers connected to the new MSA2000-G3, have the oracle as a Standby Database on the new san and the primary Database of the old SAN off course all the networking part has to be in place. what about SQL MSCS in this case, can I still play with it same as Exchange? thank you very much for this post, I’m currently on the process of doing almost the same activity but between Physical Exchange connected to hp msa 2000fc and another hp msa 2000fc-G3 will be purchased as a redundant SAN for Exchange, Orcale and SQL.

what about SQL MSCS in this case, can I still play with it same as Exchange?
