Adding new node to 12c RAC Cluster

This is a step by step article for adding a new node to an existing 2  node 12c Grid Infrastructure cluster. I've demonstrated this post on virtual box. This post will be helpful for those who wants to practice adding of nodes for TESTING/DEMONSTRATION purpose and it will be also helpful for those who wants to add a node in a real production environment.

Please read my previous article  to have a clear understanding of this deployment.

"Oracle 12c RAC Installation on linux using virtualbox"


High level steps for adding a node to 12c Grid Infrastructure:

1) Install OS same as other surviving cluster nodes
2) Configure shared Storage
3) Configure network (public, private and virtual)
4) Configure all OS pre-requisites (users, groups, directories, kernel parameters etc)
5) Run cluvfy to verify addition of node
6) Add node to an existing 12c cluster
7) Verify Services on all cluster nodes
8) Add Instance to a third node

Existing network configuration of 2 Node RAC:



Network configuration of new node:



1) Install OS same as other surviving cluster nodes

 In my case I am cloning configured OS Image  (prepared before RAC Installation) to a new node. You can Install a fresh OS and configure everything from beginning.


> Now add new machine to virtual box:







- Here select cloned disk "racnode3"























- Configure 2 Network Interfaces (Public and Private)




 2) Configure shared Storage

- Add additional disks which are configured as shared disks in an existing  cluster nodes:






- Similarly add all disks to a virtual machine.



- It should be configured on identical ports configured on existing RAC nodes.

- If you are using SAN/NAS then the pseudo names should be configured identical to existing RAC nodes.

3) Configure network (public, private and virtual)

Configure public, private and virtual network.  The IP address should be in same range of existing RAC nodes.

- Execute command "system-config-network and configure IP addresses as below





- Now add these entries to a DNS Server. These entries should be added to DNS Server if you are using DNS Server for resolving SCAN Name.

If you are not using DNS for resolving SCAN Name the you can skip this step.

- If we clone existing machine on virtual box then it will configure new interface names for configured network cards. In RAC we need to have same interface names across all nodes in a cluster.

We need to edit 2 configuration files to change this interface names:

1 -  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
2 -  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

- As we cloned virtual machine from pre-configured OS so no need to create user, group, directories and kernel parameters.

- Configure SSH Setup for racnode3

Use script "sshUserSetup.sh" under directory sshsetup from 12c Grid Infrastructure software:

Execute this script as the owner of GI user and provide password configured on other nodes:

[oracle@racnode3 sshsetup]$ ./sshUserSetup.sh -user oracle -hosts "racnode1 racnode2 racnode3" -advance -noPromptPassphrase
The output of this script is also logged into /tmp/sshUserSetup_2014-05-12-15-08-30.log

The script will setup SSH connectivity from the host racnode3 to all
the remote hosts. After the script is executed, the user can use SSH to run
commands on the remote hosts or copy files between this host racnode3
and the remote hosts without being prompted for passwords or confirmations.

NOTE 1:
As part of the setup procedure, this script will use ssh and scp to copy
files between the local host and the remote hosts. Since the script does not
store passwords, you may be prompted for the passwords during the execution of
the script whenever ssh or scp is invoked.

NOTE 2:
AS PER SSH REQUIREMENTS, THIS SCRIPT WILL SECURE THE USER HOME DIRECTORY
AND THE .ssh DIRECTORY BY REVOKING GROUP AND WORLD WRITE PRIVILEDGES TO THESE
directories.

Verifying SSH setup
===================
The script will now run the date command on the remote nodes using ssh
to verify if ssh is setup correctly. IF THE SETUP IS CORRECTLY SETUP,
THERE SHOULD BE NO OUTPUT OTHER THAN THE DATE AND SSH SHOULD NOT ASK FOR
PASSWORDS. If you see any output other than date or are prompted for the
password, ssh is not setup correctly and you will need to resolve the
issue and set up ssh again.
The possible causes for failure could be:
1. The server settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file do not allow ssh
for user oracle.
2. The server may have disabled public key based authentication.
3. The client public key on the server may be outdated.
4. ~oracle or ~oracle/.ssh on the remote host may not be owned by oracle.
5. User may not have passed -shared option for shared remote users or
may be passing the -shared option for non-shared remote users.
6. If there is output in addition to the date, but no password is asked,
it may be a security alert shown as part of company policy. Append the
additional text to the /sysman/prov/resources/ignoreMessages.txt file.

Pre-check for node addition was unsuccessful on all the nodes. 


It failed on Memory and nfsutil package (pkg exists with lower version - hence ignored). This can be ignored. As I am configuring it on virtual box so I have limitations for adding additional memory to this node. If you have enough resources available then you can Increase it.


6) Add node to an existing 12c cluster:

addnode.sh is the script which will be used for adding new cluster nodes. This script will be located under $GI_HOME/addnode directory. This script should be executed from any of the active cluster node.

- Verify Services are running and stable across all cluster nodes.



Now all cluster services are active on cluster nodes.  Now we have to proceed with adding a database instance to a newly connected cluster node.

8) Add Instance to a third node:

- Use script "addnode.sh" script under directory $RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/addnode

- You can add this node using "silent" option, but i prefer to do it in a GUI mode.

- Follow screens for addition of Instance for a newly configured RAC node.

- This will add RDBMS software to racnode3
















- Now we will use "dbca" from any active cluster nodes to add third Instance on racnode3













- Make sure that database Instance running on racnode3 - "RACDB3"

Hope this post will be helpful. In next article i will demonstrate node deletion on Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure.

Any comments/suggestions/recommendations are highly appreciated.

You should see how my pal Wesley Virgin's story launches with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain whatever they want.

These are the exact same secrets lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.

That's mostly because most of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.

Perhaps this expression has even occurred IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years back, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and with $3 in his pocket.

"I'm so frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

You've been a part of those those types of questions, right?

Your own success story is going to happen. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.

Enable Desktop on Oracle Solaris 11.4

Oracle Solaris 11 installation has multiple options to choose for installation of an Operating Environment, but mostly Oracle Solaris text install media is used and this installation media doesn't offer the GUI Desktop Environment by default after the installation. This blog post will explain how we can enable the desktop for Oracle Solaris 11.4 operating system, after the completion of installation. We have to install "solaris-desktop" package and reboot the machine and GUI desktop will be enabled for the Operating System. In this blog post my virtual machine is connected to the internet and hence I am able to use available pupblic repository for package installation, if in case internet is not available for the server/machine then we have configure the local/Server  repository for the installation. Follow the below steps for desktop package installation: After installation of dekstop package we are now able to login with GUI desktop environment...
