Gene, HA means High Avalability. >>HA is a DB Server waiting to become the prod DB via >> shared storage,
Not really. You can implement HA by any means as long as you ensure you have "High Availability". IMHO standby is also something that is waiting to be activated and "to become prod server". Actually standby is normally a better HA because shared disks would not protect you from disks "going south". The point under discussion here, since you have missed it, is whether standby could be considered oracle "running" on standby host. ORACLE reps went on record saying that you con not since the oracle "running" on other server is in managed recovery mode.
