I've got to admit my ignorance on the fact that I don't know what a HACMP configuration is, but if it in any way resembles the Microsoft Cluster Server (your description sounds like it) then all you have to do is to obtain a virtual ip-adress that the intelligent agent can use.

Now you just have to make sure that the Intelligent Agent is failing over together with the database and the IP-adress and now you can monitor the database no matter on which node it is.

The setup with Oracle Failsafe is quite easy (although only available on Windows) but not hassle free.

I don't know if it changed with 10g, but then, I don't see the need for a change given an appropriate configuration.
