So you have 2 machines and want to use them both for production and have them as each others backup ? That is possible very well. What type of disasters do you anticipate for ? I think this will influence the choice for the configuration. If you only plan for common hardware problems you could choose for ops or rac in 9i and hope that the shared disk system is 100% failsafe. Personally I think that 2 pairs of primary and standby databases would be a nice solution. In that case you have no need for a shared disk system and let dataguard do the work.
