Hi

I have installed oracle RAC and have create a Cluster Database running on two nodes. My doubt now is do I have configure this as a Package?/ Is it possible to configure Oracle RAC database as a package.

Thanks

Hi Karthik,

If you finish configure RAC on top of MC/Service Guard OPS (MC/Lockmanager).
and you can connect to instance.
your task is finish.
RAC is not package switch-over it's load blancing.

Hi Printaporn,

With RAC each instance which is accessing the same database will have a different instance name right?. In that case clients will be connecting to only one instance at a time. If that particular instance goes down will the clients be able to connect to the other instance without reconnecting / reconfiguring? If so how it can be done?

Thanks
Karthik

Karthik,

Not automaticlly. The clients can choose to connect to a single instance (OPSA, OPSB, etc) or connect to a tns entry set for load balancing and TAF (Transaction Failover).

The following is a link to my previous reply on this issue (so I dont have to cut and paste it again):

Hi,
We are also using 9i RAC DB Release 1 on HP-UX 11i with MC Service guard configured.

So far have any of you facing any issue on you RAC database such as ora-600 [2103], ORA-29740 & listener hang problem?

We have this issue over quit a long period, and there was no solution as yet in our Oracle TARs.

Would you mind us asking what your side have done to fix this 'bug'?

Thanks & regards,
Chuah

Chuah,

You should open a new entry on the forum so you have control over setting points for it.
