Oracle 11g RAC oc4j/gsd Offline

Oracle 11g RAC oc4j/gsd Offline
Oracle 11g RAC, oc4j and gsd services in the offline state, which is Oracle 11g RAC default situation.
Even so, it does not affect the use of the database, because the oc4j is a resource for WLM, WLM 11.2.0.2 available.
GSD is used to support the the dbca, srvctl, oem interaction tool. This article describes the two services to switch to the online.

The GSD has been replaced by the CRS in 11g, and in 11g, by default, the Global Services daemon (GSD) is disabled.

See MOSC note 429966.1 titled "GSD Is Used Only if 9i RAC Database is Present"
