How does VCS cluster work?

VCS continuously monitors and communicates events between clusters. In the event of a system or application failure, VCS fails over the Oracle service group to another system in the same cluster.

If the system loses the last interconnect link, VCS places the service groups running on the system in autodisabled state.

How do I stop VCS clustering locally?
