I think the only way to have a chance of a working environment shoud be with
both a cluster file system, drbd in primary/primary and Oracle configured as
a RAC (Real Application Cluster) environment between the two nodes.
Never tried though.
If you use a standard edition (perhaps it is also true with SE1) version of
Oracle, the RAC is free at the moment. No further charge.
