Which instance's timestamp is used as SCN in Oracle 12c rack?
SCN actually has a 3 second granularity now. As far as RAC goes, all cluster nodes must have synchronized clocks using NTP or some such; if the system times get too out of sync the cluster will start evicting nodes, trying to get them on the same page again.
