HP Serviceguard Toolkits for Database Replication Solutions User Guide, March 2012

Dependencies
The ODG toolkit requires the ECMT Oracle toolkit to provide high availability to a single-instance
ODG.
Similarly, in an RAC environment, the ODG toolkit requires the SGeRAC toolkit to provide high
availability to ODG RAC database instances.
NOTE: For information about supportability and compatibility with various versions of
Serviceguard, Toolkits and HP-UX, see the HP Serviceguard Toolkit Compatibility Matrix available
