Has anyone tried this?

Oracle says:

"Oracle Fail safe is software that makes it easy to deploy highly = available
solutions on Microsoft Windows NT clusters. Oracle Fail Safe 2.1.3. =
(and

earlier releases) help you to configure highly available = single-instance
(Oracle7 and Oracle8) databases. [...]

Oracle says for now this setup is limited to a 2-node cluster.

Again I am left with the question: With only one copy of datafiles in = one
place, isn't that a point of vulnerability? Are RAID solutions = reliable
enough to trust for systems that have to be up 24x7?
