Hi

oracle running on sun cluster or MC/service guard is usually a failover
solution. If the
node running oracle fails the standby node takes over by executing
customized start
scripts.

With RAC both nodes have instances of the same database up and running.  If
one
node fails the other is still up and running.

Of course  you can run RAC on top of a failover cluster.
