Depends on which failover technology you are using.
If you are talking about standby database, apart from the fact 8.1.7
is desupported, Oracle requires the same O/S and database sw on both
sides.
If you are talking Suncluster, I doubt Sun is going to support a mix
of various versions, where Solaris 2.6 is desupported.

Time to get your credit card handy, I guess.
