11g RAC Failover Test Cases

Hello All,

We all build RAC infrastructure and we have seen many cases that environment is not stable after live or when start using it.

The reasons may be many, but due to vast technologies involvement in high availability concepts we do not know or we ignore many aspects while doing environment testing.

It is indeed very important, We need to do end to end test cases with regards to failovers as the high availability infrastructure is meant for that.  Zero failure tolerance, or Connection failover or what ever the case this test cases should be structured, well organized so that our high availability solution to business critical systems should be fool proof.
