Hi, It can be done via cluster software like VCS (Veritas Cluster Server) or Sun Cluster. But one mandetory requrement: you must place your oracle database(control,redo,data etc) on the shared storage, that is , server A and Server B can access the same disk array. If you really do not have shared storage, consider using oracle data guard.
