How does connection failover work in Oracle RAC?

When a client issues a connection request using SCAN, the three SCAN addresses are returned to the client.

How to connect to an Oracle RAC database using scans?

Oracle recommends that you configure Oracle RAC database clients to use the SCAN to connect to the database instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

If the application and client are configured with transparent application failover options, then the client is reconnected to the surviving node.
