How do we fail the crontab, once the database fail to a different box. Crontab should copy to failover server??

Use an external scheduler like Control-M. If you cannot, you will have to write some nifty shell script to do it for you.

I'll assume you are running active/passive in this case.

What I do is run a test in the crontab line to see if a filesystem is present on the node. If say /u02 is only visible on one node at a time then you would have an entry like this in the crontab:

0 0 1 * * test -d /u02/oradata && /path/to/script/script.sh

So if the direcory /u02/oradata is not there then the script won't run.

You can't test for /u02 as even if the fs is mounted on the other node the /u02 directory will still be there

Means you need both crontabs kept up to date but it works.
