How does failover work in Oracle RAC database?
Oracle RAC provides failover with the node VIP addresses by configuring multiple listeners on multiple nodes to manage client connection requests for the same database service. When a client issues a connection request using SCAN, the three SCAN addresses are returned to the client.
What happens if a node fails in RAC?
If a node fails, then the service connecting to the VIP is relocated transparently to a surviving node, enabling fast notification of the failure to the clients connecting through the VIP. If the application and client are configured with transparent application failover options, then the client is reconnected to the surviving node.
What happens when one scan address fails on Oracle RAC?
When a client issues a connection request using SCAN, the three SCAN addresses are returned to the client. If the first address fails, then the connection request to the SCAN fails over to the next address.

What are the best practices for Oracle failover?
This section describes Oracle Database 12c configuration best practices to automatically transition application connections from a failed primary database to a new primary database after a Data Guard / Active Data Guard role transition has occurred. This configuration also applies to client’s connection to Real Application Clusters databases.
What happens to session data in Oracle RAC?
If failover occurs during a transaction in a clustered environment, the session data is retained as long as there is at least one surviving instance available in the cluster. The primary database can be a single instance database or an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) database.
What does RAC stand for in Oracle Database?
Oracle RAC is an Oracle database that has two or more instances accessing a shared database using cluster technology. A cluster is a group of machines (or nodes) that work together to perform the same task.
