The below two commands are generally used to check the status of CRS. The first command lists the status of CRS
on the local node where as the other command shows the CRS status across all the nodes in Cluster.
crsctl check crs <<-- for the local node
crsctl check cluster <<-- for remote nodes in the cluster
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl check crs
Cluster Synchronization Services appears healthy
Cluster Ready Services appears healthy
Event Manager appears healthy
[root@node1-pub ~]#
Checking Viability of CSS across nodes:
crsctl check cluster
For this command to run, CSS needs to be running on the local node. The “ONLINE” status for remote node says that CSS is running on that node.When CSS is down on the remote node, the status of “OFFLINE” is displayed for that node.
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl check cluster
node1-pub ONLINE
node2-pub ONLINE I use below command to get the name of Cluster. You can also dump the ocr and view the name from the dump file.
ocrdump -stdout -keyname SYSTEM | grep -A 1 clustername | grep ORATEXT | awk '{print $3}'[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrdump -stdout -keyname SYSTEM | grep -A 1 clustername | grep ORATEXT | awk '{print $3}'
test-crs
[root@node1-pub ~]#
OR
ocrconfig -export /tmp/ocr_exp.dat -s online
for i in `strings /tmp/ocr_exp.dat | grep -A 1 clustername` ; do if [ $i != 'SYSTEM.css.clustername' ]; then echo $i; fi; done
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -export /tmp/ocr_exp.dat -s online
[root@node1-pub ~]# for i in `strings /tmp/ocr_exp.dat | grep -A 1 clustername` ; do if [ $i != 'SYSTEM.css.clustername' ]; then echo $i; fi; done
test-crs
[root@node1-pub ~]# OR
Oracle creates a directory with the same name as Cluster under the $ORA_CRS_HOME/cdata. you can get the cluster name from this directory as well.[root@node1-pub ~]# ls /u01/app/crs/cdata
localhost test-crs
The below command can be used to find out the number of nodes registered into the cluster.
It also displays the node’s Public name, Private name and Virtual name along with their numbers.
olsnodes -n -p -i
[root@node1-pub ~]# olsnodes -n -p -i
node1-pub 1 node1-prv node1-vip
node2-pub 2 node2-prv node2-vip
The below command is used to view the no. of Votedisks configured in the Cluster.
crsctl query css votedisk
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl query css votedisk
0. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_0
1. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_1
2. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_2
Located 3 voting disk(s).
[root@node1-pub ~]#
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl check crs
Cluster Synchronization Services appears healthy
Cluster Ready Services appears healthy
Event Manager appears healthy
[root@node1-pub ~]#
The below command is used to view the no. of OCR files configured in the Cluster. It also displays the version of OCR
as well as storage space information. You can only have 2 OCR files at max.
ocrcheck
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3848
Available space (kbytes) : 258272
ID : 744414276
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_0
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
Disktimeout:
Disk Latencies in seconds from node-to-Votedisk. Default Value is 200. (Disk IO)
Misscount:
Network Latencies in second from node-to-node (Interconnect). Default Value is 60 Sec (Linux) and 30 Sec in Unix platform. (Network IO)
Misscount < Disktimeout
NOTE: Do not change them without contacting Oracle Support. This may cause logical corruption to the Data.
IF
(Disk IO Time > Disktimeout) OR (Network IO time > Misscount)
THEN
REBOOT NODE
ELSE
DO NOT REBOOT
END IF;crsctl get css disktimeout
crsctl get css misscount
crsctl get css reboottime
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl get css disktimeout
200
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl get css misscount
Configuration parameter misscount is not defined. <<<<< This message indicates that the Misscount is not set maually and it is set to it’s
Default Value On Linux, it is default to 60 Second. If you want to chang it, you can do that as below. (Not recommended)
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl set css misscount 100
Configuration parameter misscount is now set to 100.
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl get css misscount
100
The below command sets the value of misscount back to its Default values:
crsctl unset css misscount
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl unset css misscount
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl get css reboottime

Removing OCR File
(1) Get the Existing OCR file information by running ocrcheck utility.
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3852
Available space (kbytes) : 258268
ID : 744414276
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_0 <-- OCR
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1 <-- OCR Mirror
&n
bsp; Device/File integrity check succeeded
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
(2) The First command removes the OCR mirror (/u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1). If you want to remove the OCR
file (/u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1) run the next command.ocrconfig -replace ocrmirrorocrconfig -replace ocr
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3852
Available space (kbytes) : 258268
ID : 744414276
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_0 <<– OCR File
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File not configured <– OCR Mirror not existed any more
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
Adding OCR
You need to add OCR or OCR Mirror file in a case where you want to move the existing OCR file location to the different Devices.
The below command add ths OCR mirror file if OCR file alread exists.
(1) Get the Current status of OCR:
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3852
Available space (kbytes) : 258268
ID : 744414276
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_0 <<– OCR File
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File not configured <– OCR Mirror does not exist
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
As You can see, I only have one OCR file but not the second file which is OCR Mirror.
So, I can add second OCR (OCR Mirror) as below command.
ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3852
Available space (kbytes) : 258268
ID : 744414276
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_0
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File Name : /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_1
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
You can have at most 2 OCR devices (OCR itself and its single Mirror) in a cluster. Adding extra Mirror gives you below error message
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -replace ocrmirror /u02/ocfs2/ocr/OCRfile_2
PROT-21: Invalid parameter
[root@node1-pub ~]#
Adding Votedisk:
Get the existing Vote Disks associated into the cluster. To be safe, Bring crs cluster stack down on all the nodes
but one on which you are going to add votedisk from.
(1) Stop CRS on all the nodes in cluster but one.
[root@node2-pub ~]# crsctl stop crs
(2) Get the list of Existing Vote Disks
crsctl query css votedisk
[root@node1-pub ~]# crsctl query css votedisk
0. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_0
1. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_1
2. 0 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_2
Located 3 voting disk(s).
Backup the existing votedisks as below as oracle:
dd if=/u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_0 of=$ORACLE_BASE/bkp/vd/VDFile_0
[root@node1-pub ~]# su – oracle[oracle@node1-pub ~]$ dd if=/u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_0 of=$ORACLE_BASE/bkp/vd/VDFile_0
41024+0 records in
41024+0 records out
[oracle@node1-pub ~]$ (4) Add an Extra Votedisk into the Cluster:
If it is a OCFS, then touch the file as oracle. On raw devices, initialize the raw devices using “dd” command
touch /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3 <<-- as oracle
crsctl add css votedisk /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3 <<-- as oracle
crsctl query css votedisks
[root@node1-pub ~]# su – oracle[oracle@node1-pub ~]$ touch /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3
[oracle@node1-pub ~]$ crsctl add css votedisk /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3
Now formatting voting disk: /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3.
Successful addition of voting disk /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3. (5) Confirm that the file has been added successfully:
[root@node1-pub ~]# ls -l /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3
-rw-r—– 1 oracle oinstall 21004288 Oct 6 16:31 /u02/ocfs2/vote/VDFile_3

[root@node1-pub ~]#
Oracle performs physical backup of OCR devices every 4 hours under the default backup direcory $ORA_CRS_HOME/cdata/
and then it rolls that forward to Daily, weekly and monthly backup. You can get the backup information by executing below command.
ocrconfig -showbackup
[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -showbackup
node2-pub 2007/09/03 17:46:47 /u01/app/crs/cdata/test-crs/backup00.ocr

[root@node1-pub ~]#
Manually backing up the OCR
ocrconfig -manualbackup <<--Physical Backup of OCR
The above command backs up OCR under the default Backup directory. You can export the contents of the OCR using below command (Logical backup).
ocrconfig -export /tmp/ocr_exp.dat -s online <<-- Logical Backup of OCR
ocrconfig -restore
Locate the avialable Backups[root@node1-pub ~]# ocrconfig -showbackup

Perform Restore from previous Backup
[root@node2-pub ~]# ocrconfig -restore /u01/app/crs/cdata/test-crs/week.ocr
If you have logical backup of OCR (taken using export option), then You can import it with the below command.
ocrconfig -import /tmp/ocr_exp.dat
- Shutdown CRS on all the nodes in Cluster.
- Locate the current location of the Votedisks
- Restore each of the votedisks using “dd” command from the previous good backup of Votedisk taken using the same “dd” command.
- Start CRS on all the nodes.
crsctl stop crs
crsctl query css votediskdd if= of= <<-- do this for all the votedisks
crsctl start crs

=======================================================================
(A)
Take the Services, Database, ASM Instances and nodeapps down on both the Nodes in Cluster.
Also disable the nodeapps, asm and database instances to prevent them from restarting in case if this node gets rebooted during this process.
srvctl stop service -d test
srvctl stop database -d test
srvctl stop asm -n node1-pub
srvctl stop asm -n node2-pubsrvctl stop nodeapps -n node1-pub,node1-pub2srvctl disable instance -d test -i test1,test2srvctl disable asm -n node1-pub
srvctl disable asm -n node2-pubsrvctl disable nodeapps -n node1-pub
srvctl disable nodeapps -n node2-pub
(B)
Modify the /etc/hosts and/or DNS, ifcfg-eth0 (local node) with the new IP values
on All the Nodes
(C)
Restart the specific network interface in order to use the new IP.
ifconfig eth0 downifconfig eth0 up
Or, you can restart the network.
CAUTION: on NAS, restarting entire network may cause the node to be rebooted.
(D)
Update the OCR with the New Public IP.
In case of public IP, you have to delete the interface first and then add it back with the new IP address.
As oracle user, Issue the below command:
oifcfg delif -global eth0oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.10.0:public
(E)
Update the OCR with the New Virtual IP.
Virtual IP is part of the nodeapps and so you can modify the nodeapps to update the Virtual IP information.
As privileged user (root), Issue the below commands:
srvctl modify nodeapps -n node1-pub -A 192.168.10.111/255.255.255.0/eth0 <-- for Node 1
srvctl modify nodeapps -n node1-pub -A 192.168.10.222/255.255.255.0/eth0 <-- for Node 2
(F)
Enable the nodeapps, ASM, database Instances for all the Nodes.
srvctl enable instance -d test -i test1,test2srvctl enable asm -n node1-pub
srvctl enable asm -n node2-pubsrvctl enable nodeapps -n node1-pub
srvctl enable nodeapps -n node2-pub(G)
Update the listener.ora file on each nodes with the correct IP addresses in case if it uses the IP address instead of the hostname.
(H)
Restart the Nodeapps, ASM and Database instance
srvctl start nodeapps -n node1-pub
srvctl start nodeapps -n node2-pubsrvctl start asm -n node1-pub
srvctl start asm -n node2-pubsrvctl start database -d test
