    The document discusses the key components of a Real Application Cluster (RAC) architecture in Oracle. It describes the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) as shared configuration data for multiple databases on a cluster. A voting disk file on shared storage helps avoid split-brain issues. While each Oracle instance has its own ORACLE_HOME, the Oracle binaries can be located on a local or clustered file system for easier management.

    Real Application Cluster Architecture OCR and Voting Disk

    Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR)

    If you create more than one database on the cluster, they all share the same Oracle cluster registry. If you are
    upgrading from Oracle9i Release 2, then you can continue using the raw device that you used for the SRVM
    configuration repository instead of creating this new logical volume.

    Voting Disk

    Voting Disk File is a file on the shared cluster system or a shared raw device file. Voting disk is akin to the
    quorum disk, which helps to avoid the split-brain syndrome.

    ORACLE_HOME Files (Oracle Binaries)

    Typically, every instance in the RAC database system will have its own ORACLE HOME and a set of
    exclusive binaries. However, the Oracle Binaries are located either on a local file system or on a clustered file
    system. Locating the Oracle Home (Binaries) on a clustered file system provides easier management by
    keeping a single copy of Oracle Home supporting all the instances.
