Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> RAC, extra nodes, load-balancing and failover
Group,
We have installed OCFS and RAC on an HP-proliant cluster, on RH 21 AS. So far it works well, including failovers. It even scales surprisingly well.
Aim is a large database using cheap hardware, and scalability on demand
by adding extra nodes and instances.
We aim for a clustered file system, want to avoid raw-devices,
and would like software on CFS as well (single install, no replication).
We control the servers, but not the client-machines, more specific: we cannot modify Tnsnames on app-servers or on client-machines.
Question about adding extra nodes+instances to the cluster.
If we add an extra node and instance (add redo-, add undo-ts, add public thread...) and start the instance, say instance i3 on node n3, will new incoming connections be able to connect to it, and will load-balancing occur over the additional node as well as over the existing nodes ?
The new instance will be able to register with existing and new listeners, but the client-machines only know about the original two nodes in their tnsnames.ora.
More specific :
nb: apologies or not reading the whole FM (for sqlnet) up front.
Any thoughts ?
