Scalable operation
In scalable operation with Oracle9i RAC, Oracle RAC 10g or later, Oracle is operated on all nodes. The clients can access to the database regardless of which node they are connected to.
Note
In operation with Oracle RAC 10g or later, start and stop of Oracle Clusterware are managed by PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for Oracle.
Standby operation
In standby operation, a cluster system consists of an operating node and standby nodes. On the operating node, the resources such as Oracle applications, a logical IP address and shared disks are active. On the standby node, these resources are inactive. In the event of a failure, userApplication is switched to the standby node, and the resources on this standby node become activated. Then, the client can connect itself to the operating node using the logical IP address without changing any settings.
Note
When using PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for Oracle in Oracle Solaris Zones environments, refer to "Appendix E Using PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for Oracle in Oracle Solaris Zones Environments".
