This software is available for multiple operating systems like for Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIXand Windows. Oracle Grid Infrastructure software contains both Oracle Clusterware and the Oracle ASM component. Oracle ASM is used to manage storage for RAC. More about ASM will be discussed in the next chapter. Only one instance of Grid Infrastructure software can be installed on a node. This software is installed on its own Oracle Home. This home is often referred as GRID HOME.

Oracle Database 11gRelease 2 is the software used to install Oracle RAC. This is installed on its own Oracle Home. This home is often referred as RDBMS HOME of RAC. There can be multiple RDBMS HOMEs on a node. There can also be multiple RAC Databases running on a node. Note that the GRID_HOME version should always be the equal or higher than all of the RDBMS_HOME of RAC.
