Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC, 7th Edition, September 2008

Figure 1-3 Before Node Failure
Figure 1-4 shows the condition where node 1 has failed and Package 1 has been transferred to
node 2. Oracle instance 1 is no longer operating, but it does not fail over to node 2. The IP address
for package 1 was transferred to node 2 along with the package. Package 1 continues to be
available and is now running on node 2. Also, node 2 can now access both Package 1's disk and
Package 2’s disk. Oracle instance 2 now handles all database access, since instance 1 has gone
down.
