ProcedureHow to Remove Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC From a Cluster

Perform this task to remove Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC from all nodes in a cluster.

On a cluster where multiple Oracle RAC databases are running, perform this task to remove an Oracle RAC database from the cluster. The remaining Oracle RAC databases continue to run in the cluster.

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster maintenance commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix A, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.

This task involves removing the following resource groups from the cluster in the following order:


Caution – Caution –

You might perform this task to remove an Oracle RAC database from a cluster where multiple Oracle RAC databases are running. In this situation, do not remove any resource group on whose resources the remaining Oracle RAC databases depend. For example, you might have configured multiple database file systems to depend on a single device group. In this situation, do not remove the resource group that contains the resource for the scalable device group. Similarly, if multiple databases depend on the RAC framework resource group, do not remove this resource group.


Before You Begin

Ensure that the cluster node from which you perform this task is booted in cluster mode.

  1. On one node of the cluster, become superuser.

  2. (Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g R2 only) Remove the resource group for each RAC database that you are removing.

    If you are using Oracle 10g R1, omit this step. For Oracle 10g R1, no resource groups for RAC databases are configured.

    For each RAC database that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F rac-db-rg
    
    rac-db-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  3. (Oracle 9i only) Remove all resource groups for logical hostname resources that are used by each RAC database that you are removing.

    If you are using Oracle 10g R1 or Oracle 10g R2 , omit this step. For Oracle 10g R1 and Oracle 10g R2, no resource groups for logical hostname resources are configured.

    For each resource group that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F lh-rg
    
    lh-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  4. Use Oracle utilities to remove from the cluster each RAC database that you no longer require.

  5. If you are removing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC entirely, use Oracle utilities to remove the following items from all nodes in a cluster:

    • The Oracle RAC software

    • The Oracle CRS software

  6. (Oracle 10g R2 only) Disable the CRS framework resource.

    If you are using Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g R1, omit this step. For Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g R1, no CRS framework resource is configured.


    # clresource disable crs-framework-rs
    
    crs-framework-rs

    Specifies the name of the resource that you are disabling. This resource is the instance of the SUNW.crs_framework resource type that is configured in the cluster.

  7. Remove any resource groups that contain scalable file-system mount-point resources.

    If no resource groups that contain scalable file-system mount-point resources are configured, omit this step.

    For each resource group that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F scal-mp-rg
    
    scal-mp-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  8. Remove any resource groups that contain resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server.

    If no resource groups that contain resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server are configured, omit this step.

    For each resource group that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F qfs-mds-rg
    
    qfs-mds-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  9. Remove the Sun StorageTek QFS shared file systems that were represented by resources in the resource group that you deleted in Step 8.

    For instructions for performing this task, see Sun StorageTek QFS File System Configuration and Administration Guide, Version 4, Update 6.

  10. Remove any resource groups that contain scalable device group resources.

    If no resource groups that contain scalable device group resources are configured, omit this step.

    For each resource group that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F scal-dg-rg
    
    scal-dg-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  11. Destroy any scalable device groups that were affected by the removal of resource groups in Step 10.

    How to perform this step depends on the type of the scalable device group.

    • For each Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner disk set, destroy the disk set as follows:

      1. Remove all metadevices such as volumes, soft partitions, and mirrors from the disk set.

        Use the metaclear(1M) command for this purpose.


        # metaclear -s scal-dg-ms -a
        
        -s scal-dg-ms

        Specifies the name of the disk set from which you are removing metadevices.

      2. Remove all global devices from the disk set.


        # metaset -s scal-dg-ms -d -f alldevices
        
        -s scal-dg-ms

        Specifies the name of the disk set from which you are removing global devices.

        alldevices

        Specifies a space-separated list that contains all global devices that were added to the disk set when the disk set was created. The format of each device ID path name is /dev/did/dsk/dN, where N is the device number.

      3. Remove all nodes from the disk set that you are destroying.

        The removal of all nodes from a disk set destroys the disk set.


        # metaset -s scal-dg-ms -d -h allnodes
        
        -s scal-dg-ms

        Specifies the name of the disk set that you are destroying.

        -h allnodes

        Specifies a space-separated list that contains all nodes that were added to the disk set when the disk set was created.

    • For each VxVM shared-disk group, use Veritas commands to destroy the VxVM shared-disk group.

      For more information, see your VxVM documentation.


    Note –

    If you are removing an Oracle RAC database from a cluster where multiple Oracle RAC databases are running, omit the remaining steps in this procedure.


  12. Remove the RAC framework resource group.


    # clresourcegroup delete -F rac-fmwk-rg
    
    rac-fmwk-rg

    Specifies the resource group that you are removing.

  13. Unregister the resource type of each resource that you removed in this procedure.


    # clresourcetype unregister resource-type-list
    
    resource-type-list

    Specifies a comma-separated list of the names of the resource types that you are unregistering. For a list of the resource types that are associated with Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC, see Automatically Generated Names for Sun Cluster Objects.

  14. (Optional) From each node in the cluster, uninstall the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC software packages.

    Use the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System uninstaller for this purpose. For more information, see Chapter 8, Uninstalling, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX.

  15. Reboot each node in the cluster.


Example 6–4 Removing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC From a Cluster

This example shows the sequence of operations that is required to remove Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC from all nodes of a four-node cluster. The nodes in this cluster are named pclus1, pclus2, pclus3, and pclus4. Only one RAC database is configured on the cluster.

The configuration of Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC in this example is as follows:

The configuration of resource groups in this example is shown in the following table.

Resource Group 

Purpose 

rac-framework-rg

RAC framework resource group. 

scaldg-rg

Resource group for scalable device-group resources. 

qfsmds-rg

Resource group for Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server resources. 

scalmnt-rg

Resource group for scalable file-system mount-point resources. 

rac_server_proxy-rg

RAC database resource group. 

The resource groups that are required for this configuration are shown in Figure A–2.

  1. To remove the resource group for RAC database, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F rac_server_proxy-rg
    

    After the removal of this resource group, Oracle utilities are used to remove the following items:

    • The Oracle RAC database

    • The Oracle RAC software

    • The Oracle CRS software

    The removal of these items is beyond the scope of this example.

  2. To disable the CRS framework resource, the following command is run:


    # clresource disable crs_framework-rs
    
  3. To remove the resource group that contains scalable file-system mount-point resources, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F scalmnt-rg
    
  4. To remove the resource group that contains resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F qfsmds-rg
    

    After the removal of this resource group, Sun StorageTek QFS utilities are used to remove the Sun StorageTek QFS shared file systems that are used for Oracle files. The removal of these file systems is beyond the scope of this example.

  5. To remove the resource group that contains scalable device group resources, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F scaldg-rg
    
  6. To destroy the Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner disk set oradg, the following commands are run:


    # metaclear -s oradg -a
    # metaset -s oradg -d \
    -f /dev/did/dsk/d8  /dev/did/dsk/d9  /dev/did/dsk/d15 /dev/did/dsk/d16
    # metaset -s oradg -d -h pclus1 pclus2 pclus3 pclus4
    

    The following global devices are removed from the disk set:

    • /dev/did/dsk/d8

    • /dev/did/dsk/d9

    • /dev/did/dsk/d15

    • /dev/did/dsk/d16

  7. To remove the RAC framework resource group, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup delete -F rac-framework-rg
    
  8. To unnregister the resource type of each resource that was removed, the following command is run:


    # clresourcetype unregister \
    SUNW.scalable_rac_server_proxy,\
    SUNW.ScalMountPoint,\
    SUNW.qfs,\
    SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup,\
    SUNW.rac_svm,\
    SUNW.crs_framework,\
    SUNW.rac_udlm,\
    SUNW.rac_framework
    

    This configuration is running on the SPARC® platform. Therefore, SUNW.rac_udlm is in the list of resource types that are unregistered.

    After the unregistration of these resource types, the following operations are performed:

    • The removal of the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC software packages

    • The reboot of each node in the cluster

    These operations are beyond the scope of this example.


ProcedureHow to Remove Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC From Selected Nodes

Perform this task to remove Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC from selected nodes.

On a cluster where multiple Oracle RAC databases are running, perform this task to remove an Oracle RAC database from selected nodes. The Oracle RAC database that you remove continues to run on the other cluster nodes. The remaining Oracle RAC databases continue to run on the selected nodes.

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster maintenance commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix A, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.

This task involves removing the selected nodes from the following resource groups in the following order:


Caution – Caution –

You might perform this task to remove an Oracle RAC database from selected nodes of a cluster where multiple Oracle RAC databases are running. In this situation, do not remove the nodes from any resource group on whose resources the remaining Oracle RAC databases depend. For example, you might have configured multiple database file systems to depend on a single device group. In this situation, do not remove the nodes from the resource group that contains the resource for the scalable device group. Similarly, if multiple databases depend on the RAC framework resource group, do not remove the nodes from this resource group.


  1. Become superuser.

  2. (Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g R2 only) Remove the nodes from the resource group for each RAC database that you are removing.

    If you are using Oracle 10g R1, omit this step. For Oracle 10g R1, no resource groups for RAC databases are configured.

    For each RAC database that you are removing, perform the following steps:

    1. Take offline the resource group for the RAC database on the nodes from which you are removing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC.


      # clresourcegroup offline -n nodelist rac-db-rg
      
      -n nodelist

      Specifies a comma-separated list of cluster nodes from which you are taking offline the resource group.

      rac-db-rg

      Specifies the name of the resource group that you are taking offline.

    2. Remove the nodes from the node list of the resource group for the RAC database.


      # clresourcegroup remove-node -n nodelist rac-db-rg
      
      -n nodelist

      Specifies a comma-separated list of cluster nodes that you are removing from the resource group.

      rac-db-rg

      Specifies the name of the resource group from which you are removing nodes.

  3. (Oracle 9i only) Remove the nodes from all resource groups for logical hostname resources that are used by each RAC database that you are removing.

    If you are using Oracle 10g R1 orOracle 10g R2 , omit this step. For Oracle 10g R1 and Oracle 10g R2, no resource groups for logical hostname resources are configured.

    For each resource group from which you are removing nodes, perform the following steps:

    1. Switch the resource group to a node from which you are not removing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC.


      # clresourcegroup switch -n node-to-stay lh-rg
      
      node-to-stay

      Specifies the node to which you are switching the resource group. This node must be a node from which you are not removing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC.

      lh-rg

      Specifies the name of the resource group that you are switching to another node.

    2. Remove the nodes from the node list of the resource group.


      # clresourcegroup remove-node -n nodelist lh-rg
      
      -n nodelist

      Specifies a comma-separated list of cluster nodes that you are removing from the resource group.

      lh-rg

      Specifies the name of the resource group from which you are removing nodes.

  4. (Oracle 9i only) Remove each resource group for logical hostname resources whose primary node you removed from resource groups in Step 3.

    These resource groups are no longer required because the RAC database instances that the groups serve are being removed.

    Do not remove any resource groups from which you removed only secondary nodes in Step 3.

    For each resource group that you are removing, type the following command:


    # clresourcegroup remove -F lh-rg-rm-prim
    
    lh-rg-rm-prim

    Specifies the name of the resource group that you are removing.

  5. (Oracle 10g R2 only) Remove each node that you are removing from the list of nodes where the Oracle CRS resource for the Oracle database runs.

    If you are using Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g R1 , omit this step. For Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g R1, no Oracle CRS resources that represent Sun Cluster resources are configured.


    Note –

    In this step, the syntax of Oracle commands for Oracle release 10g R2 is provided. If you are you are using a version Oracle other than 10g R2, see your Oracle documentation for the correct command syntax.

    -dir /var/cluster/ucmm/profile
    

    The commands remove Oracle CRS resources that represent the following Sun Cluster resources:

    • scaloramnt-OraData-rs – A resource of type SUNW.ScalMountPoint that represents the mountpoint of the file system for database files

    • scaloramnt-OraHome-rs – A resource of type SUNW.ScalMountPoint that represents the mountpoint of the file system for binary files and associated files

    After the resource is removed from nodes pclus3 and pclus4, Oracle utilities are used to remove the following items from these nodes:

    • The Oracle RAC database

    • The Oracle RAC software

    • The Oracle CRS software

    The removal of these items is beyond the scope of this example.

  4. To switch the resource group that contains resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server to node pclus1, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup switch -n pclus1 qfsmds-rg
    
  5. To remove nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the resource group that contains scalable file-system mount-point resources, the following commands are run:


    # clresourcegroup offline -n pclus3,pclus4 scalmnt-rg
    # clresourcegroup remove-node -n pclus3,pclus4 scalmnt-rg
    
  6. To remove nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the node list of the resource group that contains resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server, the following command is run:


    # clresourcegroup remove-node -n pclus3,pclus4 qfsmds-rg
    

    After nodes pclus3 and pclus4 are removed from the node list, the configuration of the Sun StorageTek QFS shared file systems is removed from theses nodes. This operation is beyond the scope of this example.

  7. To remove nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the resource group that contains scalable device group resources, the following commands are run:


    # clresourcegroup offline -n pclus3,pclus4 scaldg-rg
    # clresourcegroup remove-node -n pclus3,pclus4 scaldg-rg
    
  8. To remove nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner disk set oradg, the following command is run:


    # metaset -s oradg -d -h pclus3 pclus4
    
  9. To remove nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the RAC framework resource group, the following commands are run:


    # clresourcegroup offline -n pclus3,pclus4 rac-framework-rg
    # clresourcegroup remove-node -n pclus3,pclus4 rac-framework-rg
    

    After the removal of nodes pclus3 and pclus4 from the RAC framework resource group, the following operations are performed:

    • The removal of the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC software packages from nodes pclus3 and pclus4

    • The reboot of nodes pclus3 and pclus4

    These operations are beyond the scope of this example.

After the removal is complete, the status of resource groups and resources is as follows:
