I don't have an access to a RAC instance, but you might want to check the x$le (lock element) along with x$bh. X$le should contain the lock mode of the element. Also there should be something like an addr with which you can join this to x$bh. Whether the buffer has a global or local role is something which I'm not sure where to look for. Needs some digging into structures... But I'm curious to know why would you need this kind of information?
