Failover and Failback – Automatically moves managers to available nodes during failure and back when the node is restored.   2. PCP Setup Types RAC Database Setup – Commonly used with PCP. Non-RAC Setup – PCP can still work without RAC by using TNS aliases for connectivity.   3. How PCP Works Each node runs Concurrent Managers. Managers connect to the database using TWO_TASK (TNS alias) defined in: adcmctl.sh gsmstart.sh   4. Internal Monitor (IMON) Optional Service but recommended. Monitors the  Internal Concurrent M...
