Adding and Removing Nodes
This section describes the steps to add a node to an existing cluster and the steps to remove a node
from a cluster.
To add a node to an existing cluster:
• Add the node to the network layer.
• Configure the shared storage.
• Add the node to the clusterware, database, and database instance layers.
To remove a node from an existing cluster, reverse the process by removing the node from the
database instance, the database, and the clusterware layers.
For more information about adding an additional node to an existing cluster, see the document
titled
Oracle Real Application Clusters 10g Administration located on the Oracle website at
