Okay, thank you - I've got it.

However, what is the advantage of a Service Guard to a Oracle-Standby-Server except of having only 1 IP-Address for the "package" if using Service Guard?

If I use a Bea application-server (Weblogic) with a connection-pool of already established database-connection to the first instance, I assume that if the first instance brokes down I have to restart the Bea Weblogic, don't I? Or wil the open connections of the WebLogic to the oracle-database been hold?
