4. only one undo tablespace Every instance has its own undo tablespace which should
is required in the shared storage.
5. 2 redolog group is Every instance has its own thread, thread is consists
mandatory. of minimum 2 redolog groups and should be in shared storage
7. only alert logfile Every instance has its own alert logfile.

8. only one oracle home every node has its own oracle home in local filesystem
or will maintain the
will be there shared oracle home in shared filesytem.
10. alter system switch alter system archive log current or alter system switch
logfile all logfile(it will do switch all nodes)
11. only one set of archives Every instance has its own archives which should be
will be there. on the shared storage.
12. if instance is crashed if one instance is crashed then other instance smon
in the next startup mount will do the instance recovery until that GRD will get
state smon will do the freezed that is reason will keep undo tablespace and
isntance recovery. archives and redologs(threads) in shared location.
13. only parameter file Every instance has its own parameter file and also
will be there we can maintain common pfile/spfile in shared storage.
we cant place the OCR file and voting disk in ASM diskgroups because at the time of
cluster software installation ocrfile and votingdisk will be created and ASM is not
ready at that time because in oracle 10g ASM is included with rdbms software so
after rdbms software only ASM instance will be started and ASM diskgroups will be
mounted so we cant place ocr file and voting disk in ASM diskgroup in oracle 10g
rac.
database components --instance + CRD files
when will install the grid software it will automatically starts the ASM instance
and it will mounts the ASM diskgroups so we can store the ocrfile and votingdisk
in ASM diskgroups.
OHASD oracle high availability service daemon is newly introduced from oracle 11gr2
onwards.
1. rawdevices/rawfilesystem.
will take the storage and will do the partitions(storageadmin) and will do the
rawdevice mapping (in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices by linux admin) and will mount as
rawfilesytem (in /etc/fstab by linux admin)
2. ocfs/ocfs2 filesystem.
ocfs is oracle own cluster filesystem which is introduced from oracle 9i but
it will supports only for linux and windows.
from oracle 11gr2 onwards every one will use ASM as ASM cluster filesystem.
