add invitednode (add invitedsubnet)

Adds host address or subnet information to the valid node checking for registration (VNCR) list in the catalog, before starting the first global service manager, by establishing a direct connection to the Global Data Services catalog database.

Syntax

add {invitednode | invitedsubnet}
            [-group group_name] 
            [-catalog catalog_dbname [-user user_name/password]]
          vncr_id
            [-validate_network]

Options

Table 2-10 GDSCTL add invitednode (add invtitedsubnet) Options

Option	Description
-catalog catalog_dbname	Specify the Global Data Services catalog database net alias or connect string. If you enter an invalid address or connect string, then GDSCTL uses the pre-established connection created with the connect command.
-group group_name	Specify an alias which defines a group of invited nodes. This alias can be referenced in other commands related to invited nodes.
-user user_name[/password]	Specify the user credentials for the Global Data Services administrator in the catalog database. If you do not specify a user or a password, then GDSCTL prompts you this information.
vncr_id	Specify the list of nodes that can register with the global service manager. The list can include host names or CIDR notation for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The wildcard format (*) is supported for IPv4 addresses. The presence of a host name in the list results in the inclusion of all IP addresses mapped to the host name. The host name should be consistent with the public network interface.
-validate_network	This flag enables several network validation checks, including checking network connectivity between hosts and checking VNCR entries are valid.

Usage Notes

• You must connect to the Global Data Services catalog database as a user with the pool administrator privileges, using the connect command before running this command.

• The default for GDSCTL is that autovncr is enabled for the catalog. If autovncr has been disabled for the catalog, before configuring Global Data Services pools and adding databases to the Global Data Services configuration, then the nodes where those databases run must be part of the valid node checking for registration (VNCR) list for database registration. Use the add invitednode (add invitedsubnet) command to define the valid nodes.

• VNCR enables or denies access from specified IP addresses to Oracle services. See Oracle AI Database Net Services Administrator's Guide for more information about VNCR.

Examples

Add the netmask 255.255.255.248 to the catalog.

GDSCTL> add invitednode 255.255.255.248 

Add the server east1.example.com to the catalog in the alias group EAST_SRV.

GDSCTL> add invitednode east1.example.com

Add the server east2.example.com to the catalog in the alias group EAST_SRV.

GDSCTL> add invitednode east2.example.com
