Reading between the lines, I gather you are trying to understand the entire 'High Availability' concept as viewed by Oracle. If so, Oracle's OTN site, under the Product/Databse area , expands into High Availability and has a general discussion about kinds of failures and what the various Oracle technologies brings to the table.

I believe your question is answered in chapter 1 of the "Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Basics 10g Release 2 (10.2)" manual. (It's pretty well the same as previous version with some enhancements for the 10gR2 capabilities.)
