Can I run Oracle RAC 10g on my IBM Mainframe Sysplex environment (z/OS)?
YES! There is no separate documentation for RAC on z/OS. What you would call “clusterware” is built in to the OS and the native file systems are global. IBM z/OS documentation explains how to set up a Sysplex Cluster; once the customer has done that it is trivial to set up a RAC database. The few steps involved are covered in in Chapter 14 of the Oracle for z/OS System Admin Guide, which you can read here. There is also an Install Guide for Oracle on z/OS ( here) but I don’t think there are any RAC-specific steps in the installation. By the way, RAC on z/OS does not use Oracle’s clusterware (CSS/CRS/OCR).
