Differences
10g R2 11G R1 11G R2 Node Reboot : OPROCd process NTP file is used for Time synch Across other nodes ASM is handled using Asmcmd and adding/modifying diskgroup was done by logging in as /as sysdba ASM doesnt support other files Including OCR or Voting Disk, but still these were called as ASM files Application Failover takes huge time . Has FAN,ONS to handle this process We had to hardcode details In /etc/hosts file on each node and we used DNS server having each entries NO separate Load Balancing Technique handled Node Reboot : OPROCd process NTP file is used for Time synch Across other nodes ASM is handled using Asmcmd Handled by OHASd process We have NTP as well as CTSSD. Here CTSSD act as observer Additionally Here we have ASMCA to add diskgroups. We can use the foll Sqlplus /as sysasm ASM can support 3rd party files as Well as we can store OCR and Voting Disk file. We have ADVM for this Fast Connection Failover. Less Failover time .Has FAN ,ONS . We have GNS which handles all IP addresses dynamically that is fetched from DHCP.

Has FAN,ONS to handle this process We had to hardcode details In /etc/hosts file on each node and we used DNS server having each entries NO separate Load Balancing Technique handled

Here we have SCAN listener To handle requests effectively, hence having more high availability Only 2 Oracle Home . ASM+Clusterware in same home Voting Disk backup is automatic whenever there is structural change and stores info in OCR.

Database, Clusterware,ASM had Separate home Manual Backup of Voting Disk Is highly risky and important

Network Requirements For Using SCAN

Define the SCAN in your corporate DNS (Domain Name Service) Use the Grid Naming Service (GNS)
