ohasd -> orarootagent -> ora.cssdmonitor : Monitors CSSD and node health (along with the cssdagent). Try to restart the node if the node is unhealthy.
-> ora.ctssd : Cluster Time Synchronization Services Daemon
-> ora.crsd -> oraagent -> ora.LISTENER.lsnr
-> ora.LISTENER_SCAN.lsnr
-> ora.ons
-> ora.eons
-> ora.asm
-> ora.DB.db

->orarootagent -> ora.nodename.vip
-> ora.net1.network
-> ora.gns.vip
-> ora.gnsd
-> ora.SCANn.vip

-> cssdagent -> ora.cssd : Cluster Synchronization Services

-> oraagent -> ora.mdnsd : Used for DNS lookup
-> ora.evmd
-> ora.asmd
-> ora.gpnpd : Grid Plug and Play = adding a node to the cluster is easier (we need less configuration for the new node)


If a resource is written using blue & bold font => resource owned by root. The other resources are owner by oracle. (all this on UNIX environment)
When a resource is managed by root, we need to run the command crsctl as root or oracle.
