Does EBU support OPS environment?
EBU does support OPS. However, EBU does not take advantages of OPS environment, i.e., it does not do load sharing among OPS nodes, it does not function as “backup” process of other EBU process as RDBMS server processes do. It runs on only one node of the OPS environment. In summary, EBU works in the OPS environment as if it is running in a single host system. Because OPS architecture partitions archive logs for different nodes, EBU must access these archive log files through NFS mounted file systems. Functionally, NFS mounting of all arch directories with READ/WRITE permission is the only extra step you need to install EBU on an OPS environment. Besides that, you need to include all archivelogs in your backup/restore scripts explicitly since EBU does not have the knowledge archivelogs of other nodes.
