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.

If all the checks succeed, then the
Node Addition Summary
window is displayed.

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,...NodeN

Add a listener to the new node only by running the Net Configuration

.
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.
