The Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) is the cornerstone of running the Oracle Parallel Server on a MPP Unix system. The DLM grants resource locks in NULL, READ, WRITE, and other levels. The DLM is typically implemented either with distributed message passing or in global memory, depending on the architecture. Reflective memory on the Encore Infinity 90 architecture permits a shared memory style DLM. Each node runs a separate copy of Unix so failure of one node is isolated and DLM recovery can cleanup state. A node can later rejoin the Oracle session after node repair.
