What are Oracle Clusterware processes for 10g on Unix and Linux?

Cluster Synchronization Services (ocssd) —

Manages cluster node membership and runs as the oracle user; failure of this process results in
cluster restart.

Cluster Ready Services (crsd) —

The crs process manages cluster resources (which could be a database, an instance, a service, a
Listener, a virtual IP (VIP) address, an application process, and so on) based on the resource's
configuration information that is stored in the OCR. This includes start, stop, monitor and
failover operations. This process runs as the root user

Event manager daemon (evmd) —

A background process that publishes events that crs creates.

Process Monitor Daemon (OPROCD) —

This process monitor the cluster and provide I/O fencing. OPROCD performs its check, stops
running, and if the wake up is beyond the expected time, then OPROCD resets the processor and
reboots the node. An OPROCD failure results in Oracle Clusterware restarting the node.
OPROCD uses the hangcheck timer on Linux platforms.

RACG (racgmain, racgimon) —

Extends clusterware to support Oracle-specific requirements and complex resources. Runs server
callout scripts when FAN events occur.

What are Oracle database background processes specific to RAC?

•LMS—Global Cache Service Process

•LMD—Global Enqueue Service Daemon

•LMON—Global Enqueue Service Monitor

•LCK0—Instance Enqueue Process

To ensure that each Oracle RAC database instance obtains the block that it needs to satisfy a
query or transaction, Oracle RAC instances use two processes, the Global Cache Service (GCS)
and the Global Enqueue Service (GES). The GCS and GES maintain records of the statuses of
each data file and each cached block using a Global Resource Directory (GRD). The GRD
contents are distributed across all of the active instances.

What are Oracle Clusterware Components?

Voting Disk —

Oracle RAC uses the voting disk to manage cluster membership by way of a health check and
arbitrates cluster ownership among the instances in case of network failures. The voting disk
must reside on shared disk.

Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) —

Maintains cluster configuration information as well as configuration information about any


cluster database within the cluster. The OCR must reside on shared disk that is accessible by all
of the nodes in your cluster.
