Clusterware Compatibility (Destructive) Testing

Destructive tests include forced failures by software and
hardware while the system is running with either minimal or high workload.
Oracle software – one or more of Oracle background processes is killed manually.
OS software – one or more of the cluster daemons is killed manually or the
system is forced to reboot. Hardware: Manual removal of network or disk
connectivity or power supply.
There are two major categories of cluster compatibility
tests:
 Clusterware (Destructive):
Starting with Oracle Database 10g, the certification and
validation process has been enhanced to include hardware destructive tests
executed under high system load.
   Cluster File System:
  Starting with Oracle
Database 11g, the certification and validation process has been further
enhanced to include a set of destructive and high availability tests, designed
to verify the use of cluster file system to support the various Oracle
Clusterware and Real Application Clusters components.
