Oracle RAC 12c MGMTDB (Management Database)

1.       MGMTDB is a container used to store the diagnostic information collected by Cluster Health Monitor (CHM).
2.       It is the single instance database managed by Oracle clusterware in Oracle 12c, in 11g we used to have Berkley database for the same purpose.
3.       Having MGMTDB is optional in 12.1.0.1, you can choose whether to have it or not during the time of Clusterware setup or upgrade from older versions to 12.1.0.1. But in 12.1.0.2 it become mandatory to have MGMTDB.
4.       MGMTDB runs on the master node (i.e. on which node MGMTDB runs, we can consider that as Master node).
5.       If the node where Management Database running crashes, automatically MGMTDB will be failed over to another node.
6.       Management database will be stored on the same storage as OCR and VOTING disks. So, if you go with MGMTDB option in 12c, you should have more than 5GB space for OCR and VOTING disks.

If you use the small size disks it will not allow you to setup/upgrade clusterware.
