8.1 OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster: Introduction
In OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster configurations, you have an active and a passive
node, and shared storage that can be accessed by either node.
During normal operation, the active node runs Oracle Application Server processes

occurs. The passive node takes over and becomes the active node. It mounts the shared
storage and runs the processes.
