The Oracle Grid Infrastructure framework resource is a resource of the type SUNW.crs_framework. This resource is created within the Support for Oracle RAC framework resource group whenever Oracle Grid Infrastructure is present on the cluster. This resource enables Oracle Solaris Cluster software to control the starting and stopping of Oracle Grid Infrastructure through the resource dependencies in Oracle Solaris Cluster. This ensures that Oracle Grid Infrastructure is only started when the resources it depends on are also available, and that it is stopped cleanly when any resource it depends on is no longer available.
