Stephen,

I'm not sure why you are running a standby if everything is pointing at the same filer (using NFS, right?). From your description it sounds like everything is on the NAS (including $ORACLE_ADMIN) and all the databases should have individual names. If server A dies, walk over to server B and resurrect the databases whose instances were on A.

If you don't have all of the volumes mounted on each server, you'll just have one added step of adding a mount.

Am I missing something? (Easy enough to do...)

Steven
