Architecture
Oracle Clusterware, grouped with Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
as Oracle Grid Infrastructure, is the integrated foundation for Oracle Real
Application Clusters and the high availability and resource management
framework for all applications on any major platform supported for Oracle RAC.
Over the past 10 or more years, Oracle Clusterware 11g and then Oracle
Clusterware 12c and Oracle Clusterware 18c provide a high quality platform that
enabled high availability and scalability for RAC databases and applications.
Now, Oracle Clusterware 19c builds on this innovative technology by further
simplifying cluster deployments and improving the overall ease of use. Oracle
Clusterware is leveraged in the cloud in order to provide enterprise-class
resiliency where required and dynamic as well as online allocation of compute
resources where needed, when needed.
New in Oracle Clusterware
Oracle Clusterware 19c continues the purpose of previous releases in simplifying
deployments and enhancing the user experience. Primary in these is the
removal of Leaf Nodes from the Flex Cluster architecture. Instead, Oracle
Clusterware 19c will provide support for read-moslty database instance and
application-only cluster nodes on the standard Hub nodes, thus simplifying both
the deployment and operational management of the clusters. This will be
particularly beneficial in the cases of mixed cluster workloads and consolidated
database systems.

With Oracle Cluserware 18c, we introduced significant enhancements and new


features that focused primarily on ease of use and the reduction of operating
overhead. A primary benefit was the reduction in the number of IP-addresses
required for deployments provided by removing the need for Node VIP's and
utilizing a Shared SCAN VIP setup amongst many clusters. Of special note was
the addition of the capability to patch the GI stack without affecting the local RAC
database instance, thus not impacting the users of that database. Significant
enhancements were also made for the Cluster Domains (added in Oracle
12c Release 2), adding the ability to convert Standalone Clusters to Member
Clusters and the provisioning of local ACFS file systems on Member Clusters
using the remote ASM storage services. In addition is the introduction of Cross-
Cluster Dependency Protocol Proxies, enabling Clusterware resource
dependency management across clusters.
Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Bundled) Agents
Oracle Grid Infrastructure provides the necessary components to manage high
availability (HA) for any business critical application. HA in consolidated
environments is no longer simple active/standby failover. These environments
require run-time workload management that guarantees resource allocation when
required. Oracle Grid Infrastructure Agents enable workload management and HA
for Oracle applications (currently available for Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite,
Oracle GoldenGate, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, WebLogic as well as Apache and
MySQL). With Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3 and later), the
only delivery method for agents was "standalone"; supported on AIX, Solaris,
Linux and Windows.
The standalone deployment model offers greater flexibility in choosing the agent
home directory structure and for subsequent agent upgrades. The standalone
deployment is the preferred installation model and will continue to be available,
though support for the bundled agents (those 'bundled' with the release of the
Grid Infrastructure software) will continue.
Oracle RAC Family of Solutions
The Oracle RAC Family of Solutions refers to the collection of products and
features that licensed Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node customers can use
free of additional charge. Each solution either enhances or complements the core
Oracle RAC offering by ensuring better high availability and scalability or by
automating and simplifying day-to-day operation. Learn more about these
valuable enhancements by following the link for each solution in the graphic
below. To learn more about Oracle Clusterware, follow the link on the bottom of
