Yea...I vaguely remember something like that being
said to our company back in 2000. I spoke to couple of

HA is different from Standby. Standby is an Oracle DB in recovery, i.e. Oracle
running on 2 servers. HA is a DB Server waiting to become the prod DB via shared
storage, i.e. Oracle running on 1 server.

lots of confusion, conflicting opinions, and in the end a large invoice from
Oracle.

Not sure this is correct Rachel. I sat in a conference call today with some
folks and an Oracle rep and it was stated that any type of HA software being
used would require additional licenses for the all possible servers in the
failover cluster. So even if Oracle is not running on server B
That's new policy. Last time I talked to Oracle about it (a while ago,
I admit) it was if you aren't using it and the server is not
accessible, then you don't need a license
