Installing Oracle 11g r2 RAC One Node

This describes how to create check a rac one node database and how it functions
Pre-requisite
Set up Linux Servers with oracle cluster software installed for cluster database and install oracle
database software (11.2) (only software without database ).
1.Now start dbca
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ dbca

2.Choose rac one node database

3.Choose create database.

4. Choose the other options as follows

choose Admin-managed and proceed with other details for the database and select the hosts you wish to
configure for rac onenode.

Specify the password.

Choose ASM and the disk group

click next and specify fast recovery area location and size.

Specify memory for the database.

click finish for the database creation.

Database installation is completed.

Now check configurations the database

[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl config database -d test
Database unique name: test
Database name: test
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATA/test/spfiletest.ora
Domain:
Start options: open
Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Server pools: test
Database instances:
Disk Groups: DATA,FRA
Mount point paths:
Services: test_svc
Type: RACOneNode
Online relocation timeout: 30
Instance name prefix: test
Candidate servers: racnode1,racnode2
Database is administrator managed
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
note that online relocation timeout is 30 mins(default)
Check the status of the database
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d test
Instance test_1 is running on node racnode1
Online relocation: INACTIVE
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$

Now relocate the database instance

[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl relocate database -d test -n racnode2 -w 05 -v
Configuration updated to two instances
Note : i have given wait time of 5 mins

Checking parallelly in another session

[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d test
Instance test_2 is running on node racnode2
Online relocation: ACTIVE
Source instance: test_1 on racnode1
Destination instance: test_2 on racnode2
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
While checking in the previous session
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl relocate database -d test -n racnode2 -w 05 -v
Configuration updated to two instances
Instance test_2 started
Services relocated
Waiting for up to 5 minutes for instance test_1 to stop ...
Instance test_1 stopped
Configuration updated to one instance
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$
And the final status
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d test
Instance test_2 is running on node racnode2
Online relocation: INACTIVE
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$

Hope this helps.
