Re: oracle rac 10g and OS clusterware.

Hi Ujang

Yes you need clusterware, this controls many behaviours of the RAC cluster, it contains the OCR, it controls who gets evicted and forces the reboots of those evicted nodes when that happens, ther are a numbe of other important tasks that it also does.

If you have an OS cluster package like Vertitas then you need to have clusterware and they link up to each other to mange the system as a whole.

Yes you need a voting disk and OCR see above the OCR is part of clusterware

The private network which is the cache interconnect is a requirement. If this fails the clusterware determines the host or hosts that will stay and be evicted in this failure. The network can be Ethernet, but check the install guide for your platform to see what is required.

HTH Cheers
