| GCS | Global Cache Services | in memory database containing current locks and awaiting locks, also known as PCM |
| GES | Global Enqueue Services | coordinates the requests of all global enqueues uses the GCS, also known as non-PCM |
| GRD | Global Resource Directory | all resources available to the cluster (formed and managed by GCS and GES), see GRDfor more details |

The GSD coordinates with the cluster manager to receive requests from clients such as the DBCA, EM, and the SRVCTL utility to execute administrative job tasks such as instance startup or shutdown. The GSD is not an Oracle instance background process and is therefore not started with the Oracle instance |
| PCM (IDLM) | Parallel Cache Management | formly know as (integrated) Distributed Lock Manager, its another name for GCS |
| Resource | n/a | it is a identifiable entity it basically has a name or a reference, it can be a area in memory, a disk file or an abstract entity |
| Resource (Global) | n/a | a resource that can be accessed by all the nodes within the cluster examples would be the following

Oracle RAC Daemons and Processes
| ||
| OPROCd | Process Monitor | provides basic cluster integrity services |
| EVMd | Event Management | spawns a child process event logger and generates callouts |
| OCSSd | Cluster Synchronization Services | basic node membership, group services, basic locking |
| CRSd | Cluster Ready Services | resource monitoring, failover and node recovery |
LMSn
| Lock Manager Server process - GCS | this is the cache fusion part, it handles the consistent copies of blocks that are tranferred between instances. It receives requests from LMD to perform lock requests. I rools back any uncommitted transactions. There can be upto ten LMS processes running and can be started dynamically if demand requires it. they manage lock manager service requests for GCS resources and send them to a service queue to be handled by the LMSn process. It also handles global deadlock detection and monitors for lock conversion timeouts. |
LMON
| Lock Monitor Process - GES | this process manages the GES, it maintains consistency of GCS memory in case of process death. It is also responsible for cluster reconfiguration and locks reconfiguration (node joining or leaving), it checks for instance deaths and listens for local messaging. A detailed log file is created that tracks any reconfigurations that have happened. |
LMD
| Lock Manager Daemon - GES | this manages the enqueue manager service requests for the GCS. It also handles deadlock detention and remote resource requests from other instances. |
LCK0
| Lock Process - GES | manages instance resource requests and cross-instance call operations for shared resources. It builds a list of invalid lock elements and validates lock elements during recovery. |
DIAG
| Diagnostic Daemon | This is a lightweight process, it uses the DIAG framework to monitor the healt of the cluster. It captures information for later diagnosis in the event of failures. It will perform any neccessary recovery if an operational hang is detected. |
