What do you do if you lose a node in a RAC as a result of destruction, theft, or other unrecoverable error? How do we clean up the existing cluster so the inaccessible node is removed permanently from Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC Databases?
I demonstrate the current process with 11gR2, which now has many new crsctl commands that can help with this administrative task.
Obviously when this type of thing does happen in production, I’m sure it’ll be impossible to remain calm and collected, but I hope this video helps to demonstrate just how easy it is to deal with this type of disaster.
Please enjoy!
