5 Cluster verification for Oracle Data Guard toolkit
Cluster verification is a proactive mechanism for identifying cluster inconsistencies that adversely
affect toolkit package failover to a node. It checks for ODG toolkit and Oracle database versions
on all the package nodes of the cluster. Cluster verification does not fail package validation (during
package apply or package check) if there are any inconsistencies but appropriate warning messages
will be logged.
Sample demonstration
In single-instance environment, consider a two-node cluster, both nodes having ECMT B.06.00
and same Oracle database versions but different ODG toolkit versions.
Use cmcheckconf to check package configuration.
node1# cmcheckconf -P pkg.conf
On node photon2, validation of package dataguard succeeded with: The toolkit configuration file
in the toolkit configuration directory will be backed up and a new file will be created when the
package configuration is applied.
The toolkit configuration file in the toolkit configuration directory will be backed up and a new file
will be created when the package configuration is applied.
On node photon1, validation of package dataguard succeeded with:
WARNING: ODG toolkit version on all package nodes does not match. Check syslog for more
details. cmcheckconf: Verification completed with no errors found. Use the cmapplyconf command
to apply the configuration
