Standby database with Oracle 7.3

Hi there,
with the release 7.3 of Oracle, the feature of a standby database was introduced.
This means, you have a "productive" instance on one host, a second "standby" instance on another host. The standby DB is in the state of "permanent" recovery, as it gets all archive-logs from the productive instance. When the primary system fails, all you have to do is: get the last online-redolog, recover the standby system, alter the database open, and you're up and running again. That's the theory.
Has anyone experience in: setting up/maintaining/using this feature ? Seems that not too many companies know about this theme..

Thanks in advance
