Converting RAC To RACONENODE Using Rconfig

The document describes the steps to convert a non-RAC database to a single-instance RAC database, or RAC One Node configuration. It involves editing an XML configuration file called ConvertToRACOneNode.xml to specify the source and target database homes, database information, node name, and service name. The rconfig utility is then run in test mode first using the XML file to validate the configuration, and if successful, run again in live mode to perform the actual conversion.

cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs

cp ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml ConvertToRACOneNode.xml

sample xml file for ConvertToRACOneNode.xml

ode.xml)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT
NOTE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So here I�ve changed only following values


i.e. SourceDBHome, TargetDBHome, SourceDBInfo, Password, Node name, RacOneNode
servicename, InstancePrefix
and following values are altered to blank (><) as we are not migrating storage area
i.e. TargetDatabaseArea & TargetFlashRecoveryArea.

�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�>.

execute below.
Before starting rconfig please stop 2nd, 3rd,4th,... RAC instances and keep only
one instance running else you will get ( Thread 2 is open. All threads beyond
