Adding a New Node 35
Adding Nodes at the Oracle RAC Database Layer
1 Run the addNode.bat script from the %ORACLE_HOME%\oui\bin
directory. This starts the OUI in the add node mode and displays the
OUI
Welcome window.
2 Click Next on the Welcome window. The Specify Cluster Nodes for Node
Addition
window is displayed.
The
Specify Cluster Nodes for Node Addition window has a table that
displays the existing nodes associated with the Oracle home from which
you launched the OUI. A node selection table is displayed on the bottom
of this window showing the nodes that are available for addition.
3 Select the nodes that you want to add and click Next .
If all the checks succeed, then the
Node Addition Summary
window is displayed.
4 Click Finish. The Cluster Node Addition Progress window is displayed.
5 After the End of Node Addition window is displayed, click Exit to
end the OUI session.
6 Run the VIPCA utility from the bin subdirectory of the Oracle home
using the
-nodelist option with the following syntax that identifies the
complete set of nodes that are now part of your RAC database beginning
with Node1 and ending with Node
N :
vipca -nodelist Node1,Node2,Node3,...Node N
7 Add a listener to the new node only by running the Net Configuration
Assistant (NetCA)
.
After you complete the steps, the new nodes are defined in the cluster
database layer. You can now add new database instances to the new nodes.
