In 10g, dataguard started to support different binaries on primary and standby database servers with the same OS family.  For example Microsoft Windows 64-bit Itanium on primary and Microsoft Windows 32-bit or Microsoft Windows 64-bit for AMD on standby database server. However with 11g, dataguard also supports different OS on primary and standby servers. I wanted to share the support matrix for this feature.

Metalink notes specify some restrictions which you should be aware when using the configuration in question. Some important restrictions are:
  • DG Broker is not supported on different binary configuration with 10g.
  • Logical standby is not supported with 32/64 bit configurations
