v$gc_element contains one-to-one information for each global cache resource used by the buffer cache

GES diagnostics

v$lock contains information about locks held within a database and outstanding requests for locks and latches
v$ges_blocking_enqueue contains information about locks that are being blocked or blocking others and locks that are known to the lock manager

APPS DBAInstallation/Configurations10gInstallation/Configurations11gInstallation/Configurations12cOracle Database Material

Real Application Cluster Acronyms

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

GRM

Global Resource Manager helps to coordinate and communicate the locks requests between Oracle processes

GSD

Global Services Daemon runs on each node with one GSD process per node. 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

Data Buffer Cache Block

Transaction Enqueue

Database Data Structures

LVB

Lock Value Block contains a small amount of data regarding the lock

TRFC

Traffic Controller controls the DLM traffic between instances (messaging tickets)
