RAC Node 2 Preparation - RAC 12c Setup Step by Step on Oracle Virtual Box with Oracle Enterprise Linux(OEL) - Chapter 3

Till now in our previous post, we fully configured racnode1. In this post, we will prepare our machine 2 and use it as racnode2.

Shutdown the racnode1 machine and clone

Click on Clone and it will take 20-30 mins to Complete.

• Then Start the second VM.
• Change hostname by editing file “/etc/sysconfig/network”, HOSTNAME parameter:

HOSTNAME=racnode2

• Restart the VM
• Then Change the Network Configuration, in VM Settings(2 host only adapter) as we did during our racnode1 setup to change the Public and Private IP from network management.

#Public IP eth1 #

192.168.56.11   racnode2

#Private IP eth2#   

10.10.0.11      racnode2-priv

• Start both the VM and check if you can PING the Public and Private IP from both the nodes.
• Run nslookup to make the sure connection are going fine to DNS server from both nodes.

Change bash_profile for grid user and make Oracle sid as +ASM2.
