Depends on which failover technology you are using. If you are talking about standby database, apart from the fact 8.1.7 is desupported, Oracle requires the same O/S and database sw on both sides.
If you are talking Suncluster, I doubt Sun is going to support a mix of various versions, where Solaris 2.6 is desupported.

Time to get your credit card handy, I guess.
