SUMMARY: Open source HA for Solaris

Hello,

My question:
-----------
     I have two sun fire v240 with solaris 9, connected to a common
storage, with an oracle installation wich is not so much important as to
spend money on a commercial High Availavility (HA) solution as Veritas.
Even that I would like to set these two servers on a HA mode, such that
when one is down the other start to serve the oracle service. I wonder
if someone have done this with open source software? I know that I could
use heartbeat to "see" if the other server is down but I am not sure if
I can just mount the oracle filesystems where reside the dbf files on
the storage and start oracle as if the original server were.

The answer:
----------
     The consensus was to check out HA/FST at http://www.fstha.com.
     However one person recommend me to download Sun Cluster for free
from a web page from Sun. I don't know if it is actually free and under
what conditions. It would be nice if someone could clarify me this. I
will try ha/fst.
