About Adding and Deleting Nodes

Adding and deleting nodes is the process of adding or modifying your Oracle Real Application Clusters database cluster

If your goal is to clone an existing Oracle RAC home to create multiple new Oracle RAC installations across the cluster, then use the cloning procedures that are described in "Cloning Oracle RAC to Nodes in a New Cluster".

Note:

Ensure that you have a current backup of Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) before adding or deleting Oracle RAC by running the ocrconfig -showbackup command.

The phrase "target node" in the context of configuring Oracle RAC nodes refers to the node to which you plan to extend the Oracle RAC environment.
