How to determine whether Oracle RAC method 1 has been implemented:
RACSQL> show parameter cluster_database; name type value implements ------------- -------------------------------- cluster_database boolean TRUE cluster_database_instances integer 2 RACSQL> show parameter cluster_database; name type value generation ----------- ---------------------------- cluster_database boolean FALSE cluster_database_instances integer 1 CLUSTER_DATABASE is a Real Application Clusters parameter that specifies whether or not Real Application Clusters is enabled. CLUSTER_DATABASE_INSTANCES is a Real Application Clusters parameter that specifies the number of instances that are configured as part of your cluster database. you must set this parameter for every instance. normally you shoshould set this parameter to the number of instances in your Real Application Clusters environment. A proper setting for this parameter can improve memory use. oracle uses the value of this parameter to compute the default value of the LARGE_POOL_SIZE parameter when the PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING parameter is set to true. note that the PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNIG parameter has been deprecated.
Method 2:
select * from v$option WHERE Parameter = 'Real Application Clusters'; Output:True/FalseV$OPTION displays Oracle Database options and features. Typically, although not always, options must be separately licensed, whereas features come with the product and are enabled based on the product that is running (Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, and so on).
