Can you clarify what you mean by "Oracle AS"? I can think of two possibilities, neither of which have much to do with HA from a database perspective - 9iAS or Advanced Security. 9iAS is an application server, so it's not what you want for the database. Advanced Security is part of the database, but only a part. On W2K, high availability for an Oracle database in a cluster comes from either Real Application Clusters in 9i or Oracle Parallel Server in 8i. Both are add-on options to Oracle Enterprise Edition.

HTH. Additions and corrections welcome.
