Configuring Packages for Oracle RAC
Instances
Oracle instances can be configured as packages with a single node in
their node list.
NOTE Packages that start and halt Oracle instances (called instance
packages) do not fail over from one node to another; they are
single-node packages. You should include only one NODE_NAME in the
package ASCII configuration file. The AUTO_RUN setting in the package
configuration file will determine whether the RAC instance will start up
as the node joins the cluster. Your cluster may include RAC and
non-RAC packages in the same cluster.
