Deleting & Adding Node from Oracle 11g cluster

Deleting Node from Oracle 11g cluster.


To delete a node we have to first remove the database instance, then the Oracle home and finally the grid infrastructure home.
The cluster here is a 3 node Oracle 11g RAC. Here the nodes are called rac1, rac2, rac3 (DB instance racdb). We will remove the fourth node i.e rac3 from the existing cluster.
========================================================================Perform the below steps to remove a node from Oracle 11g RAC.
• Backup the OCR manually
– Login as root on rac1.
# /u01/crs/products/11.2.0/crs/bin/ocrconfig -manualbackup
# /u01/crs/products/11.2.0/crs/bin/ocrconfig -showbackup
Current scenario:
I have three nodes in the cluster presently.
Host names :
- host01.example.com
- host02.example.com
-  host03.example.com
Node to be deleted : 
- host03.example.com
Procedure:
Login as root on the node(s) to be deleted(host03) navigate to  <gridhome>/crs/install
 
[root@host03]# cd /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install
 
Disable oracle cluster-ware applications and applications  on the node (host03) 
 
[root@host03]#./rootcrs.pl -deconfig  -force
 
From a node that will remain(host01) , delete the node
 
root@host01]#crsctl delete node -n host03
 
On a node that will remain , login as grid user, navigate to gridhome/oui/bin and update node list
   
[grid@host01]$cd /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/oui/bin
 
 [grid@host0$]./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid “CLUSTER_NODES={host01,host02}”
 
 
check that only nodes 1 and 2 remain
 
$crsctl stat res -t

Adding Node from Oracle 11g cluster.


Current scenario:
I have two nodes in the cluster presently.
Host names :
- host01.example.com
- host02.example.com
Node to be added : 
- host03.example.com

————————————
 Prepare the machine for third node
————————————
 — Set kernel parameters
 — Install required rpm’s
 — Create users/groups

configure oracleasm
root@host03#oracleasm configure -i
                       oracleasm exit
                       oracleasm init
                       oracleasm scandisks
                       oracleasm listdisks
              all asm disks will be listed

Configure ssh connectivity for grid user among all 3 nodes –
   –  On  node3 as grid user
[grid@host03 .ssh]$ssh-keygen -t rsa
 
                             ssh-keygen -t dsa
 
                             cd /home/grid/.ssh
                              cat *.pub > host03
 
                             scp host03 host01:/home/grid/.ssh/
[grid@host03 .ssh] $ssh host01 
                           Enter password
 [grid@host01 ~]$cd /home/grid/.ssh
                          
                          cat host03 >> authorized_keys
 
                         scp authorized_keys host02:/home/grid/.ssh/
                         scp authorized_keys host03:/home/grid/.ssh/

Test ssh connectivity on all 3 nodes as grid user –
– run following  on all 3 nodes twice as grid user–
echo ssh host01 hostname >> a.sh
echo ssh host02 hostname >> a.sh
echo ssh host03 hostname >> a.sh
echo ssh host01-priv hostname >> a.sh
echo ssh host02-priv hostname >> a.sh
echo ssh host03-priv hostname  >> a.sh
 
chmod +x a.sh
 
./a.sh

Run cluster verify to check that host03 can be added as node –
grid host01# cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n host03 -verbose

 if time synchronization problem, restart ntpd service on each node
– Error grid is not a member of dba group – ignore
grid@host01 ~]$. oraenv –+ASM1
[grid@host01 ~]$ cd /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/oui/bin

Add node 
[grid@host01 bin]$./addNode.sh -silent “CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={host03}” “CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={host03-vip}”

Execute oraInstroot.sh and root.sh on node3  as root –
[root@host03]#/u01/app/oraInventory/oraInstroot.sh
                         /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/root.sh

 check from host01 that node has been added –
host01 grid > crsctl stat res -t

Start any resources if they are not up already –
host01 grid > crsctl start resource <resource name>
