oracle running on sun cluster or MC/service guard is usually a failover solution. If the
node running oracle fails the standby node takes over by executing customized start
scripts.

With RAC both nodes have instances of the same database up and running. If one
node fails the other is still up and running.

Of course you can run RAC on top of a failover cluster.
