Checkpoints are instance events, not database events, so in the case outlined 
below, instance2 would have to start recovery at the point T1 in instance1's 
redo logs and recover from there. As you may know, instance recovery incurs a 
certain amount of time where the GRD is frozen and transactions must wait until 
it is unfrozen before they can continue. Therefore, the amount of time required 
for recovery will affect the behavior of the database. Moral of the story: take 
care to ensure that checkpoints happen often enough to keep that window "short" 
(as defined by you and your application). 

Someone please correct me if I've gone off the path somewhere.

Hope that helps.

Dan

Hi
   
  Anyone put some points on how checkpoint happening in RAC?
   
  For example intance1 checkpointed at time T1 and instance2 checkpointed at 
time T2
  Now in case of instance1 failure ,how instanace2 does the recovery of 
instance1.
  From which checkpoint time, it will read and apply redo,T1 or T2?
   
   
  Thanks in advance
