RacOneNode To RAC Using Rconfig

The document describes converting a RACOneNode database named "rone" to a standard RAC database using the rconfig utility. Key steps include: 1. Backing up the existing rconfig XML file and modifying it to specify the source and target database, nodes, and other configuration details. 2. Running rconfig in test mode to validate the conversion. 3. Running rconfig in live mode to perform the actual conversion. 4. Addressing issues that occurred like resources not being added back to CRS properly.

RacOneNode to RAC using rconfig

==============================================

Pre-Checks:

[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$ srvctl status database -d rone


Instance rone_2 is running on node oraracn2
Online relocation: INACTIVE
[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$ ps -ef |grep pmon
oracle 8063 1 0 13:10 ? 00:00:05 asm_pmon_+ASM2

oracle 23179 9293 0 16:54 pts/1 00:00:00 grep pmon
[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$ srvctl config database -d rone
Database unique name: rone
Database name:
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATA/rone/spfilerone.ora
Domain:
Start options: open
Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Server pools: rone
Database instances:
Disk Groups: CRS,DATA
Mount point paths:

[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$

Activity:
====================
1.
[oracle@oraracn2 dbs]$ cd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$

2. Backup orig xml file or create new file for our activity.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cp ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml


ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml_orig

3. Do required changes in .xml file

<n:Convert verify="YES"> ==> only


<n:SourceDBHome>/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1</n:SourceDBHome> ==>
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
<n:TargetDBHome>/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1</n:TargetDBHome> ==>
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
<n:SourceDBInfo SID="sales"> ==> rone_2
change credentials if required.

Change node list:


<n:NodeList>
<n:Node name="node1"/> ==>oraracn1
<n:Node name="node2"/> ==>oraracn2
</n:NodeList>
<!--Instance Prefix tag is optional starting with 11.2. If left empty, it is
derived from db_unique_name.-->
<n:InstancePrefix>sales</n:InstancePrefix> ==> empty ==>
<n:InstancePrefix></n:InstancePrefix>

<n:TargetDatabaseArea>+ASMDG</n:TargetDatabaseArea> ==> DATA

<n:TargetFlashRecoveryArea>+ASMDG</n:TargetFlashRecoveryArea> ==> FRA

Note:
�Convert verify�: Value of �ONLY� denotes to run rconfig in Test mode, �YES�
denotes Live mode conversion.

Now execute rconfig in Test mode only (<n:Convert verify=�ONLY�>). Post success, we
can execute with <n:Convert verify=�YES�>.

4. Crosscheck once "convert verify" Tag.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cat ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml |grep "Convert


verify"
<n:Convert verify="ONLY">

5. Goto $ORACLE_HOME/bin and execute.

[oracle@oraracn2 sampleXMLs]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/


[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ ls -ltr |grep rconf
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 oracle oinstall 7097 Apr 28 02:30 rconfig
[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$

./rconfig
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs/ConvertToRAC_Admi
nManaged.xml

6. Here �Operation Succeded� mentions its success in test mode.


Now execute rconfig in Live mode only (change <n:Convert verify=�YES�>). And
execute below.

[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ vi
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs/ConvertToRAC_Admi
nManaged.xml
[oracle@oraracn2 bin]$ cat

<n:Convert verify="YES">

Solution for above startup problem.

[oracle@oraracn2 ~]$ srvctl enable database -d rone

Issue not resolved.

After rconfig in above case db got removed from crsctl resource list:
