Olaf,
If you had included Oracle Server version info, I might have been inclined to look into this (database edition, Enterprise or Standard would help, also).
As for all that I know, you're still running on 7.3.4 or have gotten ahold of 10i and generated TPC reports with it.
Oracle Failsafe was around in the 7.3.4 days - long before W2K *anything* was released. I have a hunch that there is a way of implementing its features without installing W2K Advanced Server. On the hardware side - are you using shared SCSI (no RAID) or a fibrechannel storage unit?
There is documentation for Failsafe up on Metalink.
