Oracle RAC clusterware startup sequence (11gR2) - 2

ohasd = Oracle High Availability Services Daemon  

Link to Oracle Clusterware components

Here is the Oracle 11gR2 clusterware startup sequence:

ohasd -> orarootagent -> ora.cssdmonitor : Monitors CSSD and node health (along with the cssdagent). Try to restart the node if the node is unhealthy.

-> ora.ctssd : Cluster Time Synchronization Services Daemon ->

                                                    ora.crsd   -> oraagent  -> ora.LISTENER.lsnr

                                                                             -> ora.LISTENER_SCAN.lsnr

                                                                             -> ora.ons

                                                                             -> ora.eons

                                                                             -> ora.asm

                                                                             -> ora.DB.db

                                                         ->orarootagent -> ora.nodename.vip

                                                                                 -> ora.net1.network

                                                                                 -> ora.gns.vip

                                                                                 -> ora.gnsd

                                                                                 -> ora.SCANn.vip

         -> cssdagent -> ora.cssd : Cluster Synchronization Services

 -> oraagent -> ora.mdnsd : Used for DNS lookup
                            -> ora.evmd

                            -> ora.asmd

                            -> ora.gpnpd : Grid Plug and Play = adding a node to the cluster is easier (we need less configuration for the new node)

If a resource is written using blue & bold font => resource owned by root. The other resources are owner by oracle. (all this on UNIX environment)

When a resource is managed by root, we need to run the command crsctl as root or oracle.
