Hi,

one possibility could be Oracle Parallel Server (OPS). Because you want that 2 Oracle instances share _one_ disk together, this would work. You have another advantages (better performance because 2 machines are online, truly transparency for clients in case of a fault (with Net8), _no_ downtime in case if one machine crashes, etc.:

On the other hand this is more expensive than 2 seperate instances.
