According to some sources, what is now CRS (Cluster Ready Services aka Clusterware) was licensed from HP from the cluster interface in Tru64 UNIX - which was ported from the cluster services in OpenVMS and modified to fit Oracle's needs. The biggest portion of this was the much-needed lock manager to prevent cluster systems from interfering with the writes of other node members- this is known as Cache-Fusion in Oracle.
