Communication requirements
End-users on a client system are unaware that they are accessing a database hosted by multiple instances. The key to performing I/O to a database accessed by multiple instances is communication between the processes. Each layer or component in the data stack must reliably communicate with its peer on other nodes to function properly. RAC instances must communicate to coordinate protection of data blocks in the database. ODM processes must communicate to coordinate data file protection and access across the cluster. CFS coordinates metadata updates for file systems, while CVM coordinates the status of logical volumes and maps.
