Difference between Oracle Clusterware Network Heartbeat and Disk Heartbeat
185036Jun 6 2011 — edited Jun 7 2011Can soemone please explain the difference between Oracle Clusterware Network Heartbeat and Disk Heartbeat.
• If a node does not send a network heartbeat for <MissCount> (time in seconds), then node is evicted from cluster
• If disk heartbeat (voting disk) is not updated in <I/O timeout>, then node is evicted from cluster
In my openion both communcation uses network. If network is down how come disk heartbeat be updated?
