ORA.GSD Offline In 11.2 RAC….

Not a new thing right now since 11.2 is out from some time already.A very common question that I get is that GSD (Group Service Daemon) is offline in 11.2 RAC. That’s not something to be worried about as it’s officially documented in MOS doc# 429966.1. Only if you have 9i database, it would be available but the point is why in 2014, you are still planning to run a 9i database on a 11.2 cluster ;>) ?
