Adding and Removing Nodes
This section describes the procedure to add and remove a node from an
existing cluster:
NOTE: The new node must have the same hardware and operating system
configuration as the existing node(s).
To add a node to an existing cluster:
a Add the node to the network layer.
b Configure the shared storage.
c Add the node to the Oracle Clusterware database and to the
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
Oracle Clusterware layers.
For more information about adding an additional node to an existing
cluster, see the Oracle Real Application Clusters 10g Administration
document at oracle.com.
